Have you ever thought of Paris as of a copy of another, older place? While being the most beautiful city in the world it is modeled after another, much older city. This private guided walking tour of neoclassical Paris takes you through an area that changed dramatically in the years prior to the French Revolution and makes you understand how the city of Paris is a reflection of the city of Rome.

5.00Our tour was fantastic! We learned so much and saw things we would definitely not have seen otherwise. We obtained an understanding of how architecture aligns with the history of the French nation.

5.00Dunja Resanovic, a PhD candidate in Urban History, was my tour guide. She took me through key sections of downtown Paris, showing me changes in French architecture during the Second Empire (1850's- 1870), and taught me the background and history of the re-design of Paris into a global capital. I had no previous background in either art or architecture, but she made it fascinating and even took me "backstage" and behind closed doors to see little known gems. We had so much fun that we actually went far beyond the scheduled 2 hours! I recommend this tour (and Dunja) to anyone.
Great Tour

5.00Boris was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun. My daughter and I took the tour and we both enjoyed it very much. He made the information easy to understand and asked questions to get us thinking. I would recommend this tour if you have an interest in historical architecture.
