Great tour, very detailed history and we are history buffs. This was my second tour with Paul and he was super!

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.
