This ended up being way more than I expected, and it was so worth it. This was my first time to France, I am a solo traveler here for a business trip and don’t speak any French, so I was a little concerned about getting around town - this tour and our guide took care of everything, all I needed to do was take an Uber from my hotel to the train station. Our guide Irena made it fun…”
