Go Team Adam !!
H2665SHmarym, Apr 2025
Adam was our extremely well informed guide on this three hour tour and quite honestly, he had our full attention for the entirety of it !!!! From architectural details to deep insights into the lives and conditions of the people who populated these buildings, Adam's quick witted and highly informed delivery style (he knew all 16 names from the start !!!) made for a really informative and enjoyable tour. I have no hesitation in recommdending Adam to anyone wanting a guided tour which doesn't feel like a guided tour !! Go Team Adam !!!

Dear Mary, Thank you so much for your kind words! It means the world to us. Adam will be happy to hear that you enjoyed your French Revolution ad Conciergerie Tour. Warmly, Fat Cat Tours
Fantastic and will definitely recommend.

We did the Tour of Ile-de-Cite for St Chappelle church , Conciergerie & a quick swing by Notre-Dame (as its still closed) Adam was just phenomenal and had a great understanding of the history and how the Church came to be ? His tour gave us a different opinion on the entire French revolution and we will take that knowledge with us long after the weekend. Thank you for sharing your knowledge & making it so enjoyable !

Dear Eugene, A huge thank-you for your glorious review, it means the world to us! We are so glad that you enjoyed your tour with Adam! Take care, Fat Cat Tours
A “drop the mic” tour! ( that means its really good)

I’ve went on many a tour, but none compare to the tour Adam provided. He is the rock star of tour guides. It is a tour and history lesson wrapped into one. It’s interactive and he keeps you on your toes with some great questions. Very knowledgeable and just a great person to spend the day with. At the end of the tour I said to my wife “ that was the best tour I’ve ever been on. What an ending … drop the mic! “
A personable experience, not to be missed.
