15 May 2012 We have done a few Urban Adventures (Istanbul, London, Amsterdam) and as per the previous tours the Paris Urban Adventure was fabulous. Our guide Tim as great, he knew his stuff and obviously loves his city. Tim showed us some sights we would never have seen on our own or on a city bus tour. You can see famous icons on your own but you couldn't possibly see what we saw without a local guide, walking around and exploring!
