“We were pleasantly greeted by Max at a convenient meeting point in Paris. Got a great deal: Tour and commentary of the main sites in Paris, Professional photos and a snack break 😋. Also, we speak mainly English so Max assisted in getting deals on souvenirs along the way. We even got soo much extra photos. We had kids, he was soo patient. I recommend using a stroller if your kids are not use to long walks.”
