“Our private tour with our guide Anatole was extremely informative. He took the time to explain the two world wars to us from a different perspective. We learned a lot of new facts and had a few "aha" moments. Anatole took the time to answer our questions and was extremely personable and humorous. In summary, this tour is recommended to anyone who is interested in history and wants to be guided by a competent guide.”
