RE: Recommendation Letter of Linda Mathieu
Contact Linda at parisphototours@aol.com

My wife and I were planning our Christmas 2002 Vacation in Paris this year and found Linda on the Internet at http://www.bparis.com/ under: “Paris Photo/Walking Tours”. We communicated with her via e-mail before our trip to arrange a photographer’s tour. We took our tour and what we got was way more than a photographer’s tour… we got a personal tour of the very best highlights of Paris and had made a wonderful friend in her. We liked Linda so much that we called back for another day of “fun” and “photography.”

We do a great deal of traveling around the world and we rate Linda at the very top for not only a photographer’s tour but for personal tours as well! Linda was extremely personable and was thoroughly knowledgeable of the very best places of interest… many off the beaten tourist path!

It is with extreme pleasure that we highly recommend Linda during your visit to Paris for such tours. We guarantee that you will be very pleased with her on all aspects of your tour, as well as, finding her services very reasonably priced!
En Anvant!

Bon Jour…

Hi, my name is Pierre Gerardeau from Quebec.

A friend recommended www.parisphototours.com and I decided to give it a try with my partner Geraldine.
First we took a walk with Linda who is the Marais expert. We saw every street, nook and cranny and she pointed at the courtyards, store signs, cafés, boutiques, churches, shortcuts etc. We would have been lost without her. Day started at Place des Vosges and ended at Hotel de Ville. One fun thing we learned with Linda was to look for great photos found in reflections.
Two days later we took a walk with Christiane which was good too but different. Chris speaks French and we spoke French and English all day. She has been to Quebec a few times so we really had a lot to talk about. We walked from Madeleine to Sacre Coeur and back on a different route. We were on our knees when we finished the day at Café Marly for sunset . She knows many fun stores and we ended up spending more money than we wanted. She took photos of us in the stores and had us pose for her in front of the love wall. Geraldine already has that photo framed!
These women are fun. We would recommend them.
If you want more details email me at Gerapier@aol.com

"Thank you so much, Linda,for all your help and information and company. We absolutely could not have managed without you! We look forward to returning to Paris at some other season of the year and to having you show us more of the city."

"All in all, the whole trip was so exciting, and colorful. Even in Paris, where we experienced a serious language barrier, we managed to see so many sights, sit at cafes and just enjoy. One of the highlights there was meeting Lindaand doing the tour."

"We want to thank you for the extraordinarily fun day we had on our tour with you. What we learned about getting around Paris with you set us up for the rest of our stay. We went far and wide using every mode of travel. It was quite enjoyable exploring the Paris environs. We shall certainly return to Paris, as we have so much more to see; yet, because of you, we got to feel more of the soul of the city. For this we are extremely grateful. I've told everyone about our tour with you." (gbaskey@social.rr.com)

Linda, I wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had on our Paris Walking Tour with you (way back on Wed March 22nd!). It really was the highlight of our trip!

We got back from Paris late Friday night. I just wanted to drop you a quick email to thank you very much for hooking us up with Linda for our DaVinci Code Walking tour last week. She was truly wonderful & the walking tour was a highlight of the trip for both my mom & myself. Thanks so much!
