Joann is the best tour guide I have ever had! She was so thorough and explained every historical detail (we are history buffs!) She graciously extended our time since we ended up being able to stay longer on our tour. She helped us maximize our time at the famous bookstore Shakespeare and Company and helped us pick great keepsakes for our kiddos, who are avid readers and fans of Hemingway. I will rebook with Joann every time I go to Paris.

Jo met us on time, in place & put us right at ease immediately with her personable style. Walking & chatting with Jo was a great way to see & hear the history of the old part of town, the Kings & Revolutions, even touching on the Nazi occupation during ww2. There weren't any questions Jo couldn't answer. Coming from Australia, it was comforting to have such a wonderful time learning about Paris, upfront & personal. We learnt many interesting facts & tidbits we will surely recount over the coming years to friends & family. Again, thanks Jo, it was a marvellous few hours.

Jo was one of the best parts of our Paris trip. The tour she gave us was incredible. She was full of knowledge and you could just tell she loved what she did and who she worked for. Throughout our whole trip we referenced back to things Jo taught us - she was incredible! Honestly, book her - was worth every penny!

We had an incredible time on this tour with our wonderful and charming tour guide Joanne! Our two daughters (age 7 and 9) were mesmerised for nearly 3 hours by all of the fascinating and entertaining history we learned (including sitting at the location where French fries were invented and following in the footsteps of Charles Dickens). I would highly recommend this for all ages, particularly curious young children who want a different experience in Paris.

Our tour began with statue of Henry IV at Pont Neuf where French history unfolded as a collection of stories told by our expert guide, Jo. She far exceeded our expectations, loves questions and weaves answers into her narration with joy and ease. It was an absolute pleasure! My husband and I loved every minute.

Georgia was an amazing guide that made our honeymoon in Paris extra delightful. Not only was she knowledgeable, but she made history and culture come to life by explaining so thoroughly as we walked in Paris. We were running 15 minutes late in the beginning but we truly appreciated when Georgia went above and beyond by giving us a longer tour than anticipated. We enjoyed the Seine River cruise after the tour and thanks to Georgia's tips on Paris, we were able to skip the long lines and explore the local attractions. A huge thank you to Georgia and Travel Curious for making our honeymoon in Paris a beautiful experience.
