The guide was extremely knowledgeable and was a great storyteller. It is a lot of walking and might not be appropriate for younger kids or older adults due to the length of the tour.

Super tour. The guide made the history so memorable with his enthusiastic story telling. Well worth doing.

It was interesting but it could have had a little more substance. Still it was worth taking for the historical points and we did see things that we hadn't noticed in all the years we've been coming to Paris.

Because of timing, we had to do this tour the day we got into Paris. Therefore, my husband and I were kind of out of it as we felt like it was 10 pm! However, we still enjoyed the tour and found it very informative. I was shocked at all the information our tour guide had, both for our stops and from the random questions our group had. The only thing I would recommend is that the guide walks a bit slower, as we almost lost him a few times in the crowded sidewalks, and we even had one elderly couple decide to go home halfway through because they couldn't keep up! Do this tour once you've gotten used to the time change and bring comfortable shoes!

The tour guide was very knowledgeable about World War II history and also very courteous with the tour clients. The tour is definitely very interesting and eye-opening, and I highly recommend it for those interested in war and conflict history.

This tour was lead by a well-educated guide with a specialty in 20th-century history, particularly focused on WWII France. Her great interest in the subject made the tour engaging, informative and well worth it. The guide also was very warm and helpful to all of us.

The guide had lived in Paris a long time, so he knew a lot. But he made the mistake of doing more walking than talking, and when he talked he seemed to talk to one or two of the group only. One woman in the group was almost completely ignored. And she was irritated.

The guide was very knowledgeable, but the pace was too quick for one of our members. It would have been better had the walking been a little less rushed.

Tour guide was not very knowledgeable and just recited information found in travel books. A very American perspective as well. Very disappointing tour.
