A friend from my homecountry came to visit me, an expat in Paris, for some days. So, as he also had visited Paris before, we wanted something interesting - off the beaten track! We were lucky to have Shelby as our guide as she is clearly passionate about the subject AND can explain the topics to different people with different previous knowledge about them. 5/5 and I recommend this tour to everyone and am looking forward to check out her other tours offered, too! Thank you!

Responses from Unseen P

It means a lot that you'd recommend the tour, and I’d absolutely love to welcome you back for another one soon — there are so many more hidden stories to uncover!
