You learn some great fashion history in the midst of the luxurious storefronts. Our guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable.
At 1:00 am you sent me an email canceling today’s tour. We were on our way to the meeting spot when l saw the email. My daughter and l were very disappointed as this is our last day in Paris. If l had known last night l would have reserved another tour to see Notre Dame.
They should take it! Fashion in Paris is birth place! My guide was knowledgeable, friendly and on time.
Slava was great and was very knowledgeable with the history of fashion in the wonderful Paris! I highly recommend him and this tour! 5 STARS!!!!
A wonderful tour that covers the history of fashion in Paris up to today. Vlad, our guide, is a fountain of knowledge and answered all of our questions. The tour was well structured and organised and you get to see how fashion helped shape the capital to what it is today. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to learn more about fashion and try something a bit different to the usual 'historical' tours.
Thank you for your kind review! We're glad you had a great time and look forward to see you again on our other walking tours!
Lots of interesting facts - from design trends to the commercial side of the fashion industry. It was part of a birthday treat for my 13 year old fashion-forward daughter - and I was impressed that our guide, Slava, had stories and anecdotes for both ends of the age and interest spectrum. He incorporated little detours as he got to know our interests better, so it felt very personalised. And because he’s so well informed generally, it also served as a mini-history guide for the City. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you had a great time and look forward to see you again on our other walking tours!
Interesting, but quick walk round the fashion district - interesting facts - though not much capacity to adapt
