Our guide Celine was great doing the tour in Spanish. Buzzing around Paris in a classic car made is feel like paparazzi with all the attention we got...although in fact it was the car that was the star. My only regret was that i didn't have more Euros in my pocket to give her a larger tip.

Great tour with a great guide! All highlights seen within 2 hours and beautiful pictures were taken by the guide. Recommended!
