An in depth exploration of the area. Very much enjoyed by my hubby and myself on a lovely spring afternoon in May. We like Annie's style very much.

This was a fantastic tour with a lot of interesting information and great tips for restaurants and stores in the neighborhood. The narrator spoke well and was thorough and thoughtful. Also some humor throw in was appreciated. Highly recommend.

My favorite of Annie’s walking tours (I did ALL of them on a recent solo trip to Paris)! The spice shop was a particularly great stop and my mom is obsessed with the gifts I picked up for her there. I highly recommend all of her tours, especially if you are traveling solo. It is so lovely to have a story in your ear and spoken directions so you can just walk and not look at your phone trying to figure out where to go next. And I love that I can pause and pick up where I left off later if I want to spend more time, stop for a meal, or take a detour. Buy them all. You won’t regret it.
