Flavor was a wonderful guide! Our 5 year old was a little jet lagged and it was a drizzly day but Flavie caught her attention immediately. She provided just the right balance of education and fun. Our daughter was a little quiet on the tour, but when she came home we were treated to a Flavie tour - Lily had drawn pictures of things she saw in her Context sketch pad and held it in her hand (as Flavie had held the iPad showing Lily pictures of Montmartre artists) and said "As you can see...." It took me a minute to realize she was imitating Flavie. We loved the whole tour, but especially our sweet and thoughtful guide!

I didn't personally participate in this walk, but like the D'Orsay visit we had with Marie, i understand that she was very prepared, good with the children, and certainly not a clock-watcher. She goes above and beyond in her preparation, bringing pictures on her iPad to supplement and compare/contrast with the live experience. This is one walk that I might think twice about including a 6 and 7-year-old as we did...not a criticism of Context, just a recognition that it's a walk without a lot of attention-grabbers for participants of that age, and a walk scheduled to go 2.5 hours that goes to 3 could be a test for them. Based on our experience with Marie in D'Orsay, though, very high marks for the time and effort she takes to maximize the experience.

Tour and stops were fine. Wouldn't say particularly great or negative in any way. Guide didn't seem particularly passionate about the area. She was intelligent and knowledgeable and personable.
