Questions
Do I also need the guide?
No, each route works on its own. The Paris Guide is for people who want to understand the city and make their own choices; the routes are for people who want the days decided. If you want both, the Complete Paris Collection is the better deal.
Can I change the route?
Yes. Every day has simple swaps, optional stops and a 'skip it if' note, so you can swap things around without breaking the geography that makes the day work.
What format is it?
A printable PDF plus a Word version for your dates, hotel and notes.
Is this custom travel planning?
No. It's a ready-made, researched route: the same plan for everyone, built so it still works when you swap pieces in or out.
