Emily was a wonderful tour guide, she spoke about the authors and the local area with a lot of knowledge and passion. What a brilliant tour and I look forward to doing another one with the company when I’m next back in Paris

This was the BEST TOUR I took in Paris! I learned so much, and it was fun and interesting. The tour guide was knowledgeable and clearly interested in the subject. I came to Paris wanting to know more about the women writers of Paris, and I am so happy to have found this tour about this very topic. Highly recommend!

Very entertaining tour. I went with my daughter and a friend. Our tour guide, Pat, was friendly and very well informed. The tour was very interesting- we couldn’t believe that 2-1/2 hours had gone by so quickly. I highly recommend this.
Refreshingly unpredictable

The tour was refreshingly unpredictable introducing literary women I hadn’t read or heard of previously and inspiring me to read more about and by them. There were also new perspectives on writers I have read and the French and Parisian contexts offered by the tour made these just as interesting.
Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and scaled the information according to our own knowledge, curiosities and interests.
The tastings refuelled us along the way with but also gave us the backstory to each of the treats we enjoyed. This felt less like a formal, rehearsed tour but like being on a walk in conversation with a very knowledgeable friend. As a solo traveller, this was a great opportunity to meet other travellers, but it would be equally as engaging if attending as part of a group.
