      Disappointed
      Our guide Alpha K. was a no show. We rescheduled later in the day and she no showed again. Luckily we are getting a full refund, so I do appreciate Trip Advisor for helping.

      Top-Notch, Customized Tour, Expert Guide
      This guided walk was exactly what I wanted for my first trip to Paris. I didn't want a canned, "go here, take the selfie, and move to the next scene" tour. I wanted to explore as much as possible, gaining a physical understanding of the layout of the arrondissements. I wanted to learn history as we walked and viewed the many amazing landmarks, gardens, and architecture. Not only was it great fun, I now have the knowledge to explore more details next time I go back.

      Memorable Monmartre
      This was my first time in Paris. So It’s up to Pascul. He took me Montmartre for three hours. He knows a lot about the place where took the nice view of Paris. He almost always answered my questions. It will be memorable.

      Bright, sunny, warm and knowledgeable
      Jill was amazing! The weather was cold, rainy and windy but her attitude was bright, sunny and warm. She showed us a great overview of the city that helped the rest of our time in Paris. She showed us how to ride the bus and went above and beyond to help show us where our next excursion was. Jill was the perfect guide for a group wanting to see and do a lot.

      Amazing tour guide…
      Paul was amazing, he made our experience magical. Covered more than we expected with all that we wanted to see in the short about of time. Made it even better with being able to communicate with him. He spoke very good English. Looking forward to our next visit.

      Roffy showed us the highlights of Paris!
      Roffy helped us feel at ease on our first day in Paris. She was friendly and helpful, interested in finding out what we were interested in.she was knowledgeable and took us to famous sights of Paris and places only known to locals.Roffy was great at explaining interesting features and helping us get some great memories. I would suggest asking for Roffy if you want a French native speaker to guide you in English as we did. Thanks Roffy for your help on our visit to Paris.

      A Fun Walking Tour
      Pascal took me on a walking tour through parts of Paris a casual visitor would never visit. He was very congenial and very energetic. We walked for 9 hours.

      First day discovery of Paris
      Thank you Jill for my first, most enjoyable foray into the discovery of Paris. You were so friendly and so well informed about the experience you had devised for me. We walked to well known icons and you shared less known but equally beautiful landmarks, gardens and historical sites and facts. You took my slower pace into consideration, you were not rushed and also helped me to negotiate the Metro to my next happening. It was easy to chat and be introduced to the history of what we were seeing. I, thank you, for such an enjoyable 4 hours of your company and knowledge.

      Great Walking tour of Paris
      My wife and I met Roofy for a walking tour around Paris. She listened to what we wanted to see and then took us for a 4 hour tour around the areas and showed us many interesting places. She was knowledgeable and fun and we had a great afternoon. I would recommend her to anyone looking to have an interesting and enjoyable view of Paris.

      Best part of our trip
      We had the best personal tour of the city with Ellie. We agreed this was our favorite part of our trip. Ellie was patient and gave us so much historical background of the sites which added to our experience.

    Very, very disappointing. We booked the tour with Francois yesterday.
    As a couple, it was 130 euros. A lot of money.
    In 2 hours, it felt like we only walked a few hundred meters. More than once, as a paying customer, I made it clear that I wanted to see more. I was accused of being like the Americans, always speeding.
    It was a private tour, so I expect the customer's wishes to be taken into account.
    Francois was very well-educated about history, but even more interested in culinary arts and took us to every boutique so we didn't have to walk much. He couldn't do it physically either!!!! You have to make it clear in advance that this tour is aimed at older people who would rather sit comfortably in a cafe, or better yet, in a restaurant.
    Never again, and I would actually expect compensation, otherwise this would be the last booking on this platform

    We were staying in Le Marais and decided to do this tour our first day there. It helped us understand the history and get a sense of our surroundings for the rest of the trip! Our guide, Jill, was so sweet and customized our tour based on what we wanted to see/ interests. Great way to find the hidden gems of the city!

    Fabulous experience. Jill was amazing, creative and patient. She gave us so much to think about. She was also very patient as we wanted to do some shopping along the way. She packed a little picnic for us and we sat in one of the park and had a piece of bread and cheese while she told us a little bit about the food.

    Our tour guide was Marie and she was EXCELLENT! She was fun and very knowledgeable about every pathway we took, along with the old and rich history of Paris. We had a wonderful time with Marie and even wished our tour could have been longer. She also gave us great recommendations for brunch and things to do for the next day, our last day in Paris. The last two days we had ended up being our best days and memories in Paris largely thanks to her. Make sure to request Marie for your tour, you won't regret it!

    Just after we said goodbye to our tour guide, Francois, my wife turned to me and said, “Perfect, this is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to learn about the Le Marias area: history, architecture, development, Jewish impact, and culture’. Francois provided all of that along with insights and visits to cheese, wine, chocolate, clothing and perfume shops and he even stopped at several restaurants to decode menus for us. He explained the orientation of the Le Maris area and told us which metro and bus stops to use to explore Paris from our location. This was so very helpful for the balance of our week. Francois is an experience and knowledgeable Parisian guide of French food, wine, culture and history. ‘Perfect ‘ as my wife would say. Thank you, Francois.

    Martyna was an excellent guide, with intimate experience and knowledge of this area. It is a charming part of Paris that revealed the secrets of it history pre and post Napoleonic time which I found fascinating. Martyna was able to tailor this tour to meet my needs, she was very flexible, which I most appreciated.
