“This was our second time coming to Paris and April was our first call! She is the most lovely, energetic, knowledgeable woman we have ever met! We have done multiple tours with her! On this trip, we did the food tour and not only did we get to try all kinds of new Parisian items, we learned about the history of eclairs and baguettes and more! In a world where traveling to new cities can be very stressful trying to choose what to do to make the most of your time, April should be your first call too! Any of the tours she does will be well worth it and…”
