Summary: Amazing tour. Olivia was amazing in explaining details of the places we passed through, she was kind enough to tell us how to buy our tickets and even took some pictures of us. Our stay in Paris was only 3 days so this tour have us exactly want I wanted which was to see the main attractions/buildings and history of Paris. Would definitely recommend this tour if someone comingnon a short weekend break.

Summary: Olivia was very friendly and responsible. Had a wonderful experience, excellent trip to see the major sites in Paris. Would recommend it to anyone who is short on time and doesn't want to miss the best places. All the historical information she gave was such an added bonus, was not expecting that at all.
