Fun and informative - Our guide Aaron was great. He was very knowledgeable, funny and nice. His story telling style kept you engaged. Seeing the tuileries garden and Place de la Concorde was amazing. Answered any questions we had. Would recomend this tour to a history fan or a person with a moderate level interest alike.

Very fun way to spend 2 hours - So much fun & very informative. Our guide was very engaging & even held the attention of my 16yo daughter. It was a bit longer than I expected, which was fine with me. We had a great time & recommend it.

Living a few Revolutions - Our guide was so informed and so well able to transmit historical information to the group of people from other nations and unknown prior knowledge of the subject but all with a thirst for the knowledge our tour leader could provide on the ground in the actual locations these historical activities took place ( except Versailes) . So he brought history to life in places we never would have individually found. A really enlightening Tour by the Welshman. Thank you..

Fascinating tour despite the very warm day - We really enjoyed this tour and Aaron’s lively explanation of the Revolution’s events as we moved around the area was informative and indicated how layered and complex “the” Revolution was - actually it was several (if indeed they are over). Aaron fielded lots of questions and kept the walk moving.
