"Loved walking through Montmartre and seeing where Picasso created his best work. The history was fascinating!"
"A really neat experience! The guide was so informative, especially about Picasso and his impact on art. Plus, those cobblestone streets were just beautiful."
"Great tour with interesting stories and stopped most places we wanted to go. Great freedom for us to pause to see the artists in the plaza or get a sandwich or go in a shop. I do wish it was a bit more flexible with location. Sometimes it wouldn’t play if we were across the street in the shade"
