Traveler Reviews

It was such a memorable and valuable time! Art nouveau buildings were so beautiful in Paris and our guide Boris was knowledgeable and passionate. I am glad that I chose this tour.=)

Our tour guide, Andrea (?), provided us with an outstanding introduction to Paris and French Architecture, with a focus on Art Nouveau (and a hint of Art Deco). We learned more than we could have even imagined, and Andrea proved that she “really knew her stuff”. She was a delight! We will definitely work with her again when we return to Paris or Normandy,

I would like to highly recommend the Art Nouveau tour. Boris, the guide was well informed and makes one want come back and learn more.

The private tour for our group of four was fantastic because of our guide Boris! Ive always been an admirer of Art Nouveau art, furniture and architecture so this was a treat. Great lessons in history and architecture from Boris who did a wonderful job of explaining and comparing different styles of architecture: classical, Gothic, Art Nouveau , and how each of them evolved and what inspired their development. Boris was very engaging, knowledgeable, polite and open to all our questions. We enjoyed this tour and Boris communication style so much that we booked him for another tour the next day for a private tour of Notre Dame. Because the tour involved quite a bit of walking our mothers both in their 70s started to get tired and I told Boris we might have to end the tour early. He was so gracious and he worked in a stop for us at LaDuree on the Champs Elysees to enjoy some coffee, tea and macarons and rest for a short while. After that, the moms were able to continue onward and fin
