Not enough information about places that would have deserved more details Quite disappointed compared to other guided tours in Paris
Roland
Roland's review
The advertised title of the experience doesn't really correspond to the content delivered by the guide. No guiding thread
Marc
Marc's review
Pleasant, interesting neighborhood. But a lack of references regarding anecdotes.
Corinne
Corinne's review
Text learned by heart, a little academic Too bad a little enthusiasm and verve are missing
Ruth
Ruth's review
The tour was rich in information, covering a wide range of subjects, from history to architecture and a few anecdotes. However, the tone remained a little too academic for my taste; a touch of whimsy would have made the experience more lively.

The tour was very good, full of interesting anecdotes. The "alchemy" part of the tour description was missing.

Very good walk. Does it exist in the 5th arrondissement but more to the south (rive gauche)? Panthéon/Sorbonne?
