【Reviews】
👍 Ms. Chou:
I highly recommend this!!! You probably won't find another tour this in-depth. The guide explains every piece of history with such patience and professionalism; every memory of it is worth savoring.

👍 Ms. Hsu:
A small group tour is the best choice for independent travelers. I was lucky enough to join the night tour of Montmartre. Under Aurora's guidance, Montmartre at night revealed its most brilliant side. Many century-old artist residences might have been overlooked if not for her, and I was fortunate to experience a part of the artists' lives during the tour. Thank you so much to Aurora for preparing such rich content and answering all our questions. Highly recommended for travelers who want to deeply understand the beautiful, ancient Paris.

👍 Mr. Lai:
As an independent traveler, I highly recommend the 'Night Tour of Montmartre'. Paris at night presents a different face; the gypsies disappear, replaced by open-air bars and Renaissance-style revelry. We wandered through the Sacré-Cœur, caught a glimpse of the Parisian night view, visited the secret base of Da Vinci and other intellectuals, found the mysterious angel-adorned water fountain, and stumbled upon mosaic graffiti on the walls... Under the guide's leadership, I unexpectedly learned about the mysterious corners of Père Lachaise Cemetery and the status of the 'Banks of the Seine' as a World Heritage site. These little stories made the trip even more unforgettable. I never imagined Paris at night could be so memorable; as for these delights, I'll leave them for fellow backpackers to discover with the guide.

👍 Mr. Su:
The Montmartre itinerary: The connection from the origins of Impressionism to the story of the Paris Commune was brilliant, and the integration of history with the life stories of artistic figures was profound.
