Review of Paris’s tip-based city center walk, covering Notre-Dame, the Louvre, the Seine, guide quality, pacing, value, and practical tips.

“We had Bruce as our guide. His knowledge of the city and its history was great. His English and the microphone to boost sound in busy areas worked well and we heard everything. There was actually less walking than we expected but even on a very cold day it was an enjoyable way to spend 2 and abit hours. Even 2 teen girls enjoyed it, would recommend.”
