Choosing the right tour guide

  • by

A good guide is often a valuable asset during a trip or for preparing your trip… if you have well chosen to start! If I order some books on the internet without problem, I always preferred to go in the radius of a library to choose a travel guide. It is indeed significant in view of providing content to see the quality of the illustrations, the distribution of different sections and the overall direction of the work, etc.. And this little excursion is already as the first step of the journey…

choose travel guide

The first question to ask when you are about to choose your guide is what you expect. What geographic boundaries should be covered by (a city, region, country)? What information would you find? What elements are most important to you (addresses and ratings of restaurants, listings of places to visit or fewer sites, but more developed)? How do you travel (rather adventurous and backpack or museums galore!)? The answers to these questions will first make an initial selection of guides among those proposed, – sometimes a good decade for a single destination! Browse them; compare the information for each site and the importance given to each party (lodging, restaurants, tours, descriptions…) to make it your choice.Read More »Choosing the right tour guide

visit Paris on a budget

Visit Paris on a budget

The more advantaged to visit Paris on a budget, it is young. Indeed, all places and national museums have free admission to all European citizens under 26 years. If some temporary exhibitions are paying, you can enjoy Paris at low cost and make a cure culture.

visit Paris on a budget

Too old for youth fees? Know that the museums and sites are open free to certain specific dates: Heritage Days, or eg the 1st Sunday of the month for the Louvre.

Another little trick valid for all: “Kiosks Theater”. They are three in number (Montparnasse, Place des Ternes, Madeleine) and offer Tuesday to Sunday tickets at very cheap rate for the same day. Attention, first-come, first served! To avoid the queue, the websites also offer discounted tickets but usually less profitable.Read More »Visit Paris on a budget
