A wonderfully engaging and informative tour

This tour is wonderfully packed with the political and cultural history of significant women of Paris, and our guide Wassily brought it to vivid life with a terrific presentation — engaging, incisive, and passionate. She uncovered the challenges these women confronted, and how they dealt with them over the centuries, up to and including today.
Essential Tour is a must.
