My wife and I have been to Paris before and this tour took us to most of our buck list items we wanted to see. Ilia our guide was a pleasure to get to know and was very knowledgeable on the items we were visiting. My wife had fractured her right leg in several places in May and was still building up her stamina, so Ilia was able to help get her into a special elevator at the Arch of Triumph saving her from having to go up and down 243 steps. Ilia also recommended our French restaurant we ate at for lunch and we asked Ilia to join us and got to know even more about him and Paris. Our driver Roman was just as incrediable, being able to get us around Paris and finding areas to park so we could get out near many of our wishlist sites, without having to walk long distances to see them. Both Ilia and Roman were a Blessing to spend the day with.
