We enjoyed spending the morning with Solene. She took us to the hidden gems of the quarter. We saw artisans working in their shops, hidden passages and we learnt about how Paris is encouraging old professions to persevere and survive. The viaduc and the promenade was awesome so was the canal ST.Martin The Aligre market was lively and it did not hurt to have the tastings along the way. Highly recommended

We had an excellent experience with out Memories France guide Caroline at the Musee D'Orsay. We met for a two hour tour on a Saturday morning - there were 6 of us in the small group. Caroline was very knowledgeable and provided background on many paintings to give us a depth of understanding we would never have had otherwise. Who would have known that the face in a painting of a funeral procession was the face of the Emperor of France, and what was being buried under the funeral pall was liberty? Many insight such as these made for an educational and informative tour. Highly recommend.

Our local guide (“small” Lawrence) was kind and knowledgeable, and logistics with her and the tour were seamless. Only recommendation would be to cut the wax museum visit (which comes at the end of the day) because by then, you’ve heard Therese’ story a lot and seen “real” sites so the wax museum seemed superfluous.
