CURIOUS AND QUALITY INFORMATION Our Tourblink team is composed by professionals and local guides who are art passionated and who know what questions you may be asking yourself and what would you like to see during your visit in Paris, optimizing your time. The information in the app is concise, useful, fun and easy to understand. The one related to the monuments is free! In addition of explaining what you already knew you were coming to visit, we also tell you what we like the most about each monument that you didn’t know you were going to see. So that when you leave this place, you leave it with a good taste of knowledge. ITINERARIES Don't you exactly know how to profit your time? Where to start? We are here to solve that! We propose itineraries by hours, in order to enjoy the place as much as you can! You will feel like on a tour, but on your own and at your own pace. Once you choose one of the itineraries (paying a ridiculous price of less than € 5), you can follow the route and listen to the audio guides, which will give you information to understand what you see once you are in front of it. Or if you prefer, you can read it.
