Great overview of women who have shaped Paris through the ages
875allysonb, Dec 2025
This was a great tour with a knowledgeable and personable guide and an opportunity to hear how women have shaped Paris through the centuries. I recommend it!
No serious female tourists in Paris? C'mon!

My tout of Great Women in Parisian History was cancelled due to noone else signing up for it... No serious women tourists? C'mon women! I was offered the very fluffly alternative of a Women's Fashion Greats- Really?
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re truly sorry for the disappointment you experienced. The period in which you booked is one of the quietest times of the year, and we do advise during the booking process that tours may occasionally be cancelled if the minimum number of participants is not met. Unfortunately, this was the case for your “Great Women in Parisian History” tour, and we understand how frustrating that can be. Our intention in offering you our fashion tour was simply to provide an alternative experience rather than leave you without any option at all. In fact, our Women Who Made Haute Couture isn’t “fluffy” at all and perhaps you would have discovered this had you actually taken the tour. As a small, independent business, we put a great deal of care into creating meaningful and empowering experiences. Leaving a negative review only hurts our small business, especially when the circumstances were communicated in advance.
Learned lots with this tour!

Our guide Pat was friendly and knowledgeable. She handled questions as they arose. I definitely learned quite a bit on the tour even though I read a fair amount of history. There were just 5 of us in the group so we could all hear and interact. Highly recommend.
Strong women rise up!

This was my third or fourth time going on a Women of Paris tour while visiting. This time I had my 2 nieces with me and I wanted to share a little bit of history from a female perspective with them. Our guide, Pat, did not disappoint even in the rain!
