👍👍 Loved the French Revolution tour so much we booked the Napoleon tour 2 days later. Thierry isn’t just super knowledgeable but shares fascinating stories and makes it super approachable and engaging. As someone who doesn’t know much about history I learned a ton as did my history buff husband. Highly...

    My parents, partner, and I did a private French Revolution tour with Thierry and cannot recommend him enough! He covered so much in two hours and it was great for history buffs like my mom and I and also for history newbies like my partner. I would highly recommend Thierry for any tour and we can't wait to book with him again next time we are in Paris.

    Absolutely loved our tour with Thierry! Even if you only have the mildest interest in history you will be hooked by the end of his tour. He truly makes the stories and sights come alive. Cannot wait to book another!

    BOOK IT! This was the highlight of my trip to Paris. Thierry is a superb storyteller and has a wealth of knowledge of French history. He really made the experience incredible. He took extra time for our group tour and even took an extra 2 HOURS out of his day to take me on a private Napoleon tour after the French Revolution tour because I loved his tour so much!! You will have a fantastic time on this tour with him, book it!! Thierry, you are amazing!!

    Thierry‘s Napoleon tour was fantastic!! Thierry is incredibly knowledge, friendly and fun, and we learnt so much during our two hours with him. He was happy to answer all our questions and was generous with his time. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! Can’t recommend the walking tour more highly :)

    Absolutely wonderful tours (so good, I did two the same day!) Lots of fun, great information, and spectacular sights. I cannot recommend Thierry and Parisology enough and cannot wait to do another tour when next in Paris!

    Thierry's tours are well researched, methodical and thought provoking! They are complimented by his passion and enthusiasm for history. I was fortunate enough to do 3 tours in Oct 2023. This was only because he obliged requests while he was meant to be on holiday. The path of the tours are well laid out and flow easily. The nuisances of the land marks makes a person realize how much we miss when walking down a rue in Paris. I look forward to attending more tours with Thierry!

    Thierry provides a wonderful personalized tour. He has a wealth of information and is most generous in sharing his knowledge and love of Paris history and architecture. We felt our time was well spent on the Architecture Nouveau tour.

    Great tours and fantastic guide. Our guide Thierry is very knowledgeable on the historical details and the most important thing was that his humor and upbeating spirit kept us engaged for a whole 2 hours! I went on many walk tours and he is very outstanding among the ones I had.

    A highlight of my experience in Paris, 10/10 would absolutely seek Thierry out for another tour! The combination of a thoughtful, scholarly presentation along with our guide's natural charisma, attentiveness, and engaging story telling style made this one of the best tours (slash seminar) I've ever experienced. Add in the well woven backdrop of numerous landmarks throughout the heart of Paris and one leaves with a much fuller UNDERSTANDING of how France became France and Paris became Paris through the lens of the French Revolution. My only regret is that I did not have time to attend another of Thierry's tours while I was visiting, but I certainly will next time!

    We flew into Paris to join a river cruise culminating in a day experiencing D-Day in Normandy... before leaving Paris, after flying all night we (8) took Thierry's newest tour: the Occupation and Liberation of Paris during WWII.... it was an awesome tour, magnified by Thierry's enthusiasm, wealth of knowledge, humor, and perhaps most of his patience with our jet lag! Next time Im in Paris, Im calling Thierry... he's the best!

    We have now taken four of Thierry’s historic tours of Paris including his series on the Royals, the Revolution and Napoleonic era. We keep returning because he really is a true master of the art of teaching through story-telling. Back in our native U.K. we took many historic tours around London, so we have more than a passing understanding of what goes to make a top quality tour. Thierry’s tours strike a perfect balance of context and background, history, anecdote, scandal and intrigue, all while walking through some of the most beautiful streets in the world. His warmth, enthusiasm and sincere fascination with (and affection for) his subjects is infectious. He deserves all the 5-star reviews he receives and we’re looking forward to taking another tour soon. To us this is a must-try excursion in Paris, to help understand the history of this unique city.

    I have taken 3 Parisology tours and plan to take a 4th tour before I leave Paris. I love to take tours when I travel but have never taken more than one tour with a guide. However, Thierry is an exceptional tour guide and any afternoon spent with him exploring a city that he loves is a priceless experience. He speaks perfect English and lived in the United States for many years so he easily communicates and relates to American travelers. He is kind and considerate and makes sure that everyone feels included. Do not hesitate to book one, two, three or even four tours with Thierry!!!

    I just took my first online talk from Thierry at Parisology.net - he was recommended by a friend who took his in-person tours and online talks. I took the one on Napoleon and it was great! Thierry provided an excellent introduction to Napoleon's life, and answered all our many questions. I'll be signing up for more of his talks in the future. Thanks Thierry!

    Thierry's knowledge and passion for the subject really shines through and he was an excellent and professional guide, good at setting the scene and full of interesting stories and anecdotes that made the revolutionary era come alive. Using an iPad to help illustrate his talk is a nice touch that helps give context for the characters and events. This was an entertaining and informative tour, and great value - highly recommend booking! Worth bearing in mind there isn't a large amount of walking on the tour so dress for the weather.

    We enjoyed a wonderful tour. Thierry was brilliantly engaging and knowledgable. The history punctuated by jokes and references that had the who group laughing. His knowledge was brilliant and I would recommend to anyone and everyone who comes to Paris.

  • 5/5 Phil S. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic tour and tour guide. Thierry brought to life, with vivid and rich stories and pictures, the Napoleonic history of Paris. He brought us to revolutionary street corners, storefronts, and buildings that we would have passed without notice if left on our own. The four hours we spent with Theirry felt supersonic and was one of the highlights of our family visit to Paris. If you are interested in history, you are in the right spot.

  • 5/5 Dorothy F. 1 year ago on Google
    The Parisology walking tours were exactly what we were looking for. We wanted to know more about this beautiful city and how historical persons and events have shaped it. We took both the Art Nouveau and Rise of Napoleon tours. Thierry is an excellent guide who brings his subject matter to life and is very attentive to his audience. I highly recommend these walking tours and look forward to joining another one the next time we’re in Paris.

  • 5/5 Daniel H. 2 years ago on Google
    Don't hesitate, and book a tour with Thierry ASAP! He is a fantastic guide for all things French history. His tours are rich and packed with immense detail, but they are delivered with a narrative flair that really brings the subject and characters to life. On top of all that, his charm and warmth are palpable. His style makes his tours a great fit for the history-averse, while his depth of knowledge makes it an excellent fit for history buffs. And even better if you have a group with people who are all over the map! I strongly recommend that you go on one (or more!) of Thierry's excellent tours while you're in Paris. After attending his French Revolution tour we immediately booked his Napoleon tour. You will not regret booking a tour with Thierry!

    (Translated by Google) This 2nd tour, brilliantly guided by Thierry, makes us want to attend all those that Parisology organizes! Inexhaustible knowledge and kindness are the ingredients for success. Appointment made for Art Nouveau ... that's 3 visits in 10 days! (Original) Cette 2ème visite guidée avec brio par Thierry, nous donne envie d’assister à toutes celles que Parisology organise ! Connaissances inépuisables et gentillesse sont les ingrédients de la réussite. Rendez-vous pris pour l’Art Nouveau … soit 3 visites en 10 jours !

    Un super moment passé avec Thierry! Moi je suis française et j'ai invité une amie allemande... ce fut une belle aventure. Thierry était très prévenant.. et soucieux de notre bonne compréhension. Nous avons passé un très bon moment ! On recommande vivement !

  • 5/5 Mihaela 4 years ago on Google
    Thierry’s tour was very exciting. We learned new things about the revolution and the environment at that time with nice « small gossips » of the era to bring smiles on our faces. Thanks Thierry for this nice moment

  • 5/5 Sean L. 4 years ago on Google
    No doubt, the best tour guide in Paris. Excellent commentary on every part of the tour. Extremely knowledgeable on every aspect of the French Revolution, as well as other topics regarding French History. I couldn't have learned more in the short 2.5 hours. We were a group of 4, including our 12-year-old. He kept our interest throughout the entire tour. You will learn more about French history from Thierry than anyone. I absolutely recommend his tour. - Your Friends from NY and PA

    Thierry was a fantastic guide. He is a knowledgeable historian and truly made the city's history come to life. He was fun, enthusiastic, and gave us a new perspective and appreciation of Paris. I highly recommend him.

    Thierry's tours for both the French Revolution and the Rise of Napoleon are undoubtably the best amongst all the tours I have done in Paris. After his tours, he has significantly increased my interest in French history. Thank you Thierry, we will be back for more tours in the future.
