Toucan2 - I will be with Michael and Scott Saturday night, I can give him a message if you wish.

Toucon2,

Thank you you seafox and cigalechanta! I have been offline a few days.

Seafox, I just wanted to contact them about availability week of March 10-17. I hope you have a great time with them Saturday.

Thanks for the facebook link cigalechanta!

Toucan2 We missed him last night - he has a bad cold, but we plan on connecting later in the week. I'll mention your inquiry

Tell him Gretchen says hello!!

*jealous*. Love Michael and Scott.

Thanks seafox. I'm back in town now and will start working on more Paris plans this weekend and will probably email him then.

We think Michael is a great guide and hope to see him again in the future. He has shown most of our family around Paris. Seafox, please give Michael regards from Mark and Kay in Florida...

Michael and Scott say "Hi" to everyone!

I've just sent off an email, wish me luck :-)

He's available! yay! To confirm what someone said above, it is 125 euros for the day, which I think is quite reasonable. I'm looking forward to meeting him (or Scott) and spending a day.

Just a side note on his rate, fees associated with entrances and lunch etc. are not included in the 125... not to worry though he strives to find a good deal at all times...unless of course you want to take him to Jules Verne....LOL

LOL seafox!

Yes, I knew that, I should have also mentioned.

You are sure to have a wonderful day with Michael, Toucan.

I wonder, would it be rude to "friend him" on Facebook? I do not know him, and it looks like a personal Facebook page, not a business page..

He's also on linkedin.
Hi to Michael, scott, seafox

Jinky, perhaps rather than friending him, you could just message him first through fb? That way you can let him know you're trying to contact him about availability or tour questions, and he has the option of replying or suggesting another avenue of communication. If it's a personal page and not a business one that can be "liked", that's what I would suggest. Hope you reach him!

We had friends who booked him for two days over the holidays and a business associate who used him for a day a month or two earlier. They all had a great experience.

((H))

Thanks! I already emailed him at his aol address, so we'll see what happens with that first.

We will be there for 8 days in April and hope he is not booked already.

I figured this thread deserved a bump anyhow, as there weren't any current posts about him - and I am curious to hear more about his tours.

I have recommended him on a number of recent threads. He really doesn't have "tours", but listens to what you want to do and then arranges a "tour" according to that. I hope you will engage him for a museum day. He took us to the Louvre (short by our request but EXCELLENT) and then the Orsay.
