Things to do in Paris, Ile-de-France: The Best Archaeology Tours
Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

After a week of tours, this was top on our family’s list. We have three kids, ranging in age from 9-21 and each of them thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Even more than that, my husband, who typically does not enjoy museum tours, said it was his favorite. Inna, our guide, did an exceptional job of organizing the tour around the major movements leading up to impressionism through post-Impressionism. We all left with a much better appreciation and understanding of this important era in art.

Everything in this zoo is just fantastic. Get there when it opens and you have the privilege of watching the animals being let out and doing what comes naturally to them. I can see why this is one of the top 5 zoos in the world. Their conservation and breeding programmes are superb, the animals are all very healthy, fit and look happy. Those that need room to roam have it in abundance. The penguins and sea lions have the cleanest pools I have ever seen with lots of places to view them underwater. Well done Beauval, you have got everything right. Thank you for the experience.

My college age daughter and I had a great time seeing the sights with Ali in Feb 2020. He took us to spots with beautiful views of the city by night -views we would not have found on our own. Ali was easy to reach to meet up with and was a friendly, helpful guide.

We had an excellent experience with out Memories France guide Caroline at the Musee D'Orsay. We met for a two hour tour on a Saturday morning - there were 6 of us in the small group. Caroline was very knowledgeable and provided background on many paintings to give us a depth of understanding we would never have had otherwise. Who would have known that the face in a painting of a funeral procession was the face of the Emperor of France, and what was being buried under the funeral pall was liberty? Many insight such as these made for an educational and informative tour. Highly recommend.

We did the sculpture tour with Abbie McLean. This is really more of a slide show with commentary. Abbie showed us slides of about 8 sculptures and provided commentary about each. I learned a lot and enjoyed the time but would have enjoyed it more if the 'tour' had a faster pace and was pitched at a higher level. Abbie was very enthusiastic and engaging. I did wonder if any of the money from these tours goes to the Louvre?
