A fabulous tour

This was easily one of the best tours we’ve had. Our guide was absolutely phenomenal. She was passionate about her subject area and had in depth details to share with us about military history, various wars, weaponry, uniforms, military strategies of Napoleon, as well as personal events and relationships during Napoleon’s lifetime. She was able to answer all of our questions with ease. She was engaging, funny and a pleasure to be with.

Visit to Invalides

Our guide was very thorough, knowledgeable, and pleasant. We felt engaged and welcome. She was excellent. My favorite part was the altar designed by Bernini. And the history behind the different tombs, and sections of the building.
