A manageable city walk with a knowledgeable and cheerful guide. We are family with two children, 9 and 17, and the guide made a real effort to make them both and us adults interested. Insight into the city's history spiced with anecdotes. Highly recommended, especially if hosting one of your first trips to Paris. Take it preferably at the beginning of your stay.
