Pat was incredibly knowledgeable and a gifted storyteller. I enjoyed the time immensely and wish that she did more! I have been to Paris many times and she introduced me to many aspects of history hidden from my eyes. Thank you, Pat!
A wonderful afternoon with history and beauty combined

Yesterday was a perfect afternoon for Thai tour and Pat our knowledgeable and fun tour guide added to the weather and ambiance of the afternoon. We enjoyed Luxembourg Gardens and all her historical facts and how she presented the stories to us. She was a total pleasure and ending with Madam Curie in the Latin quarter. I loved this tour as unknown history to us. She was a considerate warm storyteller and a pleasure to have experienced this history from her. Thank you also for being a kind person to my sister who had difficulty walking. Best wishes continuing this tour.
