Roberto was an excellent tour guide! He is extremely knowledgeable and we learned a lot on our Paris “neighborhood” walk (Saint Germaine des Pres). I highly recommend this tour with Roberto.

Unser Führer war sehr freundlich und höflich, zu dem war sehr gut informiert über das Quartier und seine Geschichte. Er hat uns an Orte geführt, die wir alleine nie gefunden hätten und uns viele interessante Details zu Personen wie Gebäuden erzählt. Ein wenig überflüssig waren die sehr ausführlichen Erzählungen zu Richard Wagner, sein Lieblingsthema. Obwohl wir mehrfach darauf hinwiesen, dass wir Wagner nicht so mögen, hörte er nicht auf uns seine diversen Opern-Erlebnisse (Paris, Bayreuth, Berlin) zu schildern. Mit Saint-Germain hatte das nichts zu tun. Es wäre auch nett gewesen, wenn er sich vorgestellt hätte.
