Very fun tour! Ali is the best, he really knows his stuff, and he was super kind. He took us all over Paris which was really cool. If you love history, you will love this tour. Ali has all of the historical facts! I highly recommend doing this tour. The Pantheon was very cool to see - I had no idea there was a crypt. The views on top of the Arc de Triomphe were spectacular. You also get to take the Metro which was cool. Also, seeing the Mona Lisa at the Louvre was definitely worth it. Overall, I highly recommend.
