EXCELLENT COMPREHENSIVE WALKING TOUR OF MONTMARTRE - Hugo took us on a Wonderful walking tour of Montmartre, which involved walking all the way up through the various neighborhoods, and ending up at the gorgeous Sacre Coeur Basilica. He was very knowledgeable and good company, pointing out all the sights and their history. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Adam is Awesome - We did several tours thru Europe and none came up to the level that we experienced with Adam. He is very knowledgeable and also challenged us with questions which made for a more interesting tour. I wish I would have videoed some of the information he gave us....he is the real deal.

Excellent - We selected the Mona Lisa tour with Violette as a family, in one word: Enriching Violette is a great guide with multiple knowledge, passionate about her job, and a real kindness in telling us the history of Paris! I 100% recommend going through Violette, you won't regret it. For those with a sweet tooth, Violette has some very good culinary addresses, Thanks again !

Adam the Magnificent - I thought we were having a treat just coming to Paris. Turns out Adam was the biggest surprise of all. Myself, my mom and my two girls (11 and 13) took a semi private day tour with Adam. His expertise and knowledge made this tour one to remember forever. He made every stop special. His expert knowledge of art, especially Van Gogh, made my family look at art through a whole new lense. I will forever wish Adam was with me when I go to another art museum. We also enjoyed the rich knowledge of churches that he shared with us. We learned so much in this one day. Adam left us wishing we had more time with him. He is charismatic, highly intelligent, knowledgeable, witty, and charming. Next time we are in Paris we will be booking as many tours as we can with Adam!

AMAZING TOUR OF PARIS - For a memorable, professional and incredibly informative tour of Paris, schedule time with Adam! He will make the history of the city come alive right before your eyes. With Adam’s impressive knowledge and expertise, especially of the diverse art in Paris, your tour will be seamless as he takes you through your sites of choice and you will wish you had booked him to accompany you for more time than you did. Adam was highly recommended to us by friends, and he exceeded our expectations. Of all the tour guides we have experienced all over the world, Adam is by far the best!

Best tour we’ve ever been on - Adam was an amazing and knowledgeable tour guide that created an excellent experience on this tour. Every minute of the tour was insanely good and worked well for all ages. By the end of the tour we learnt so much about so many amazing places in Paris, starting at montmartre, continuing in Musée dé orsee, and ending at Notre Dame. As soon as the tour ended we cancelled all our planned tours to have Adam as our tour guide for the rest of our stay in Paris. #teamadamforever

The most engaging tour guide we have ever had in Europe - We have attended MANY tours across Europe, and I would say that having Adam as our tour guide through Montmartre and the Museum D'Orsay was by far the best, bar none. He is engaging and hilarious, and has a manner of summarizing art and history in a memorable fashion that leaves you walking away with a better in-depth understanding of the backstory behind aspects of architecture, paintings, historical figures, and artists. For instance, I have never (for the life of me) been able to retain much during tours of art museums. However, he taught our group how to tell the difference between works by Manet, Monet, and Renoir -- something I've been able to recall long beyond the tour itself (to my surprise, knowing myself). I also enjoyed hearing about the seedy history of Montmartre and the various shenanigans of the impressionist artists living there. Most importantly, he was able to make the tour interesting enough that my young kids (age 4 and 6) were able to remain engaged for a full-day tour. A FULL DAY WALKING TOUR, without any tantrums. Mindblowing. I am certain that his background as a professor at a local university with a graduate degree helps in presenting information in an digestible fashion. If I had known ahead of time, I would have booked his other tours for the remainder of our time in Paris. The next time we return, we will DEFINITELY be booking his other tours.
