Carol was an excellent tour guide. She was a good storyteller, explaining the history of Paris. She was also very kind--it started to rain heavily near the start time for our tour, and she waited for us while we dashed across the bridge to a souvenir shop to buy umbrellas.

We had a great time walking around and learning a lot more about the island than we would have just doing it on our own. Of course entrance to Sainte-Chapelle was the most rewarding part of the tour! It is highly worth it!
