Thanks and bravo! We'll be doing more of them. The guided tour for parents and children at the Jardin du Luxembourg on the theme of mythology was a real success! My 13-year-old son was delighted with his afternoon, and so was I. Our guide Cyril was top-notch! Our guide Cyril was top notch!

The speaker presented the subject very well, and our 2 grandchildren (aged 9 and 13) followed the whole visit with great interest. We will recommend your activities as we have already done.

Star Star Star Star Star - Well worth it
Written by Sophie Wiedemann , 07-03-2024

The tour with guide Cyril was very well organized, educational and very clear. He immerses you in the context before going into the subject, which helps you stay on track when there's a lot of information. He was able to grab the children's attention and motivate them to participate. There's something for every level of knowledge. Never a dull moment. Go with your kids without hesitation! My 6-year-old son, who loves mythology, loved it and left completely satisfied and delighted.

Star Star Star Star Star - Excellent "interpretation" by the guide.
Written by Françoise grolier benguigui, 07-03-2024

The guide knows how to motivate children and get them involved. He knows his subject inside out and would make a great comedian. We learn a lot of things and anecdotes. Easy to book I've already recommended the tour to friends for themselves and their grandchildren.

No difficulties whatsoever, either at the time of booking or on site. The weather was very (very, very) hot, so our guide made sure everyone found a place in the shade at every station on the tour. Our two 9-year-old granddaughters (who are big fans of mythology at the moment) were enthralled. A real success that we've since warmly recommended...and we're ready to call on your services again for our next escapade.

Cyril captivated youngsters, teenagers (12 years old) and adults alike with his anecdotes and intrigues to find the sculptures in the garden. He was passionate and fascinating! I RECOMMEND !!!

Written by Maria Hass Leblanc , 09-25-2023

Very well organized (that counts) and above all a very good guide... Cyril was very motivating for the children and knew how to pass on his knowledge (which is substantial) without putting aside the fun part of the visit. In a nutshell. My son and I had a great time. I'd definitely recommend it.

Star Star Star Star Star - the heroes of mythology
Written by odette Guenault, 01-09-2023

The presenter knows her subject very well. My only complaint is that she should have occasionally silenced the 2 boys aged 10/11 who interrupted her purely for the sake of interrupting. My eldest granddaughter, who just turned 12 and is entering 4th grade, wanted to reply, but was only able to do so once. The youngest, soon to be 9, had a lesson or 2 on mythology and couldn't answer. Other children would have liked to. My eldest was very annoyed Yes, I had a hard time signing up: I had signed up very well for theTuileries and 10 minutes later I made a mistake for Luxembourg. and it was really well explained to me, I was on the bus at 1pm++stress obviously I'm no good with computers but if they'd explained it to me as well the next day... I was a little stressed inside when I arrived.

I thoroughly recommend it for all children. From 5 years old if passionate about mythology ) you need to be able to keep your attention for 2 hours and walk a bit ) and everyone from 7 years old. Even as an adult, I enjoyed it.

A belated message to thank you for this wonderful afternoon spent in Cyril's company! He's a terrific speaker, and his explanations are really top-notch, while remaining accessible to the younger ones! Which is often a tour de force. I don't think I'm wrong in saying that we parents had a great time wandering around these gardens, which we also enjoyed (re)discovering ... I'll take the liberty of sending you a photo of the little participants (from the back 😉 ) enthralled!

Madam, Sir, We thank you for this beautiful visit program. Thank you to Cyril for his pedagogy and the quality of his exchanges with the children. Could you give me the list of the words of the skull? We were unable to find them all when we got home. Wishing you a good evening. Sincerely Audrey
