“Allen led our small group of 4 --even an extra 1/2 hour longer--to get to all the graves on my list. I had read a suggestion to bring names of those I wished to see and had 8. Another person on the tour added one. Allen said if we didn't mind staying longer he would take us to all as they were spread out. He knew the location of and information on all as well as many others alone the way. A very fun tour.”

A great couple of hours.”

“A fantastic and different way to see Paris. Our tour guide Marion was very knowledgable and took us to hidden sights we would never have found on our own.
