My virtual view on the tour was to my liking, you can now learn more about the history of the cathedral, such as what was built between 1163 and 1245 on the City island and as they call the cathedral, it is the heart of Paris, which is also I was able to get to know Paris and its history. On the tour I was also able to observe the beautiful architecture that the cathedral has and the beautiful works of art that are inside, it is totally made of pure art and I would certainly like to return again one day.

My husband and I spent several days with Ellen on our recent trip to Paris. If you are looking to take a deep dive into the neighborhoods of Paris, Ellen is the guide for you! Ellen is excellent at tailoring a special tour just for you. She provides great context for everything she shows you, complete with photos and images that she brings along.

Ellen walked with us through the Medieval Heart of Paris (Ile de la Cite and Ile St. Louis), the Palais Royal District, Montmartre (where the Impressionist Painters lived and worked), Marais and Montorgueil. For each segment of the tour, we learned about Paris’ early inhabitants, it’s architectural evolutions, and political revolutions.

Ellen provided other wonderful services; such as:

• Ellen took us to the Musee d’Orsay to see the works of the Impressionist artists we had just studied in the Montmartre district.

• A special shopping tour in the Marais.

• Ellen made restaurant recommendations and then secured our reservations.

• Ellen helped to secure our tour of the Louvre.

We have had several tour guides throughout our travels – Ellen will go above and beyond your expectations!

I joined Ellen for the Medieval Paris tour and had a wonderful time. This is a great tour if you're short on time in Paris, or just want to learn more about medieval history. We visited Pont Neuf, Isle de la Cite, the Conciergerie, Saint Chapelle, Notre Dame, and Isle Saint Louis.

Ellen really knows her history, and made seeing familiar places seem like the first time. She also introduced me to new places I'd never visited, and pointed out things I wouldn't have noticed on my own. I highly recommend booking a tour with Ellen while you're in Paris!

I visited Paris recently with family. I am pleased we chose to do Ellen's private guided tour. All of us enjoyed it a lot. Ellen didn't rushed the tour, she even did more time than she said on tour details. She made sure my son (8 years old) is also involved in the tour and kept interacting with him and asking him some interesting questions to keep his interest.

We loved everywhere Ellen took us. With our limited knowledge about Christian history, she made sure to make things bit easy for us to understand. It was very informative trip for us. All of us loved it.

It was the best thing we did in Paris and we will always remember Ellen for this memory. Plus you are here dealing with single person not a big tour company, so you will get very personal experience .

I will highly recommend tours done by Ellen and may do another of her tour's when I am next in Paris.
