Summary:
This was the best tour I have ever taken. Our guide Matt was excellent, the food selection was great and I had some foods I would not have thought of trying before. Our guide Matt made a point of pointing out some interesting points along the tour. When the tour was over Matt sent out an email with recommendations on where to eat. The only bad thing about the tour is I will probably never find a croissant as good as I had in Paris.

Summary:
Yoyo was an awesome hostess. Courteous, respectful, and knowledgeable. It was a Sunday so some places were closed but after a long week and her coming prepared we had a longer much needed respite at their secret place and left way more than happy
Thanks
