Very entertaining and informative 2 hours. Steph had plenty of anecdotes to keep us amused despite the wind whipping up the sand in the Tuileries as we walked through !

This tour was exceptional. Our guide Steph was incredibly knowledgeable, entertaining and well spoken. We felt as if we had been in Paris during the French Revolution when we had finished! Historical background and narrative was excellent and the sights and landmarks covered during our walk are not to be missed during a visit to Paris. A. Corkern / Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

It was great! Paul (from Wyoming) was very knowledgeable and made the various sites and events of the revolution(s) make much more sense to us, giving us background and insight as to how one event influenced another. He ended it at a cafe that had been frequented by Robespierre etc., which was perfect for us. It is not an exaggeration to say that, for our purposes, his tour made our trip so much more worthwhile.

A tour like this is all about the guide - and ours, a Portuguese Parisien named Pablo, really was the best.

A fascinating tour through the heart of the French Revolution, which lots of background history brought to life to Pablo. We were amazed to find out at the end that this was the first time he'd given this tour - he really was a natural!

Definitely worth doing, but book a few days ahead and call the company who run the tours to confirm - we booked the night before through Viator and our booking hadn't reached the tour company, or our guide. We missed the start and he had to run back to get us - all done with great humour but it was a bit annoying for us, Pablo and the rest of the group!

Anyway, a great few hours and thoroughly recommended.

We had a really nice time. Learned so much about the revolution. We went by all the sites but it would have been nice to go inside. The walking was easy and our tour was on time.
