I can’t recommend the private Carnavalet Museum tour enough! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the history of Paris to life with fascinating stories and details about the museum’s artifacts. From the French Revolution relics to the personal effects of Marie Antoinette, every moment was captivating. The personalized experience made it even more special, as we could ask questions and explore at our own pace. This tour is a must for history lovers or anyone wanting a deeper understanding of Parisian culture!
