Participating in Harry's tour was a great pleasure. He was deeply interested in history and the effect it has on society. Harry shared many inspiring thoughts with us that still resonate with me till this day. Apart from the fascinating facts he shared, he also included a lot of humor which made the two hours feel like 10 minutes and I was sad the tour had to come to an end. If you read this Harry, all the best for the future. I would highly recommend this tour.

We had a fun time with Oliver. The tour was really insightful and we learned a lot about French history. We visited the most famous sights and Oliver had not only a lot of knowledge about all those places but fun and interesting stories to tell! We highly recommend the tour, if you want to get a broad impression on Paris.
