This was our first trip out of the country and we're so glad we joined this tour especially to our tour guide Firo and driver Chris they were amazing and great team. Firo is great and making us all feel like we're one big family with so much fun on the coach. We played your music every day. Lol. Chris our driver is the best, he went beyond our itinerary just to show us places that we want to see. He is an amazing driver! Our family felt safe with his driving expertise. We cannot count how many times we had to clap our hands for his unimaginable driving skills. With Firo and Chris tandem we got the best tour that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Hoping to travel with expat explore in the near future. Thank you so much Firo and Chris. Your next tour will be so lucky to have you both. God bless.
Overall, we had a good time. John, our tour leader was fun and gave us good tips on the city we are visiting. Jean, our driver was very good and I felt safe when he was driving. I didn't like some of the hotels chosen but the location made up for it. There were some group activities that took too long such as the visit to a perfume company.
Our guide on the Marais Food tour was Adele. Adele is an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and a very good story teller. She loved showing us around her favorite spots. One could feel how much Adele loves Paris she loves Paris and enjoys telling us about its history and present. The tour was small and Adele was able to make a personal connection with each one of us. It was very nice to meet people working in the local shops we visited. Everyone was nice and I cannot wish for a better introduction to Marais.
