Provided some recommendations for afterwards. We enjoyed one of the restaurants very much. Would never have found it otherwise.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was more a tour of Sainte Chapelle and the Ile de France than a tour of Notre Dame, but apparently tour guides aren't allowed in Notre Dame. Both cathedrals are jaw-droppingly beautiful

He also provided recommendations for restaurants and shopping after the tour, which was very helpful. Highly recommend. It is worth the money!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Easy to find guide, who was friendly and knowledgeable. Sometimes hard to understand because of accent, however we still learned a lot. We also learned a little about St. Marks square, which I didn’t realize was included. So, that was really nice.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our guide, Thomas, was knowledgeable, witty and personable.  We obtained a tremendous amount of information.  I give him the highest recommendation. I suggest that he spend less time in the moat and more time with the paintings.  Good luck Thomas your tour was a highlight of our stay in Paris.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We took the tour of Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Basilica.  Our guide's knowledge about the history of Venice was very impressive.  I am not into history as much as my husband, so he enjoyed that aspect more than I did.  It was just too much information for me personally.  I would have liked to have spent more time in the Basilica as that is more interesting for me.  If you are into history, you might enjoy this tour.  Just be aware that you spend no more than 30 minutes in the Basilica.  Again, our guide was thorough.  She kept us all together and spoke very clear English.

Three dishes with sliced tomatoes, shredded meat, and herbs with peppers.
