5.00Violet was amazing and helpful...she was very passionate and if you are a history or art nerd, she helps bringing history to life quite viberantly. Definately would go on a different tour with her in Paris again and would reccomend to others.
Excellent One-Day Paris Tour

5.00Excellent tour; if you're wanting to hit numerous Paris highlights in one day, this is it. The itinerary is ambitious, but completely doable and enjoyable. Despite frigid temperatures in January, we trekked to many different sites, saw a ton, learned a lot, and had fun. The schedule also allows for a bit of down time to rest and do your own thing, which was welcomed. There is a fair bit of walking, but with breaks and incorporated slowdowns and seated portions of the site seeing, the pace felt manageable. Antoine, my guide, was one-of-a-kind. He's extremely well-versed in all of the sites we visited, but also charismatic, witty, and an engaging speaker. Sometimes tours in other countries create a bit of a language barrier - his colorful commentary and deep historical acumen had no such barrier. It felt like he truly enjoyed giving the tour, serving as an ambassador to Paris; at times it felt like he could go on with more detailed history, factoids, and stories, but time constraints prevented it. He was also very good about waiting for participants, giving clear directions on public transport, and was interested in learning about every person on the tour. I highly recommend this tour if you're wanting a Paris crash course. If you're lucky to draw Antione as your guide, you're in good hands!
An easy but long day in Paris hitting all the top spots

5.00Our guide Earwon was perfect. Could read the room and paced the trip around our small group of 4 + 2 solo travellers. His breadth of knowledge and detail across anything we saw was remakable. It’s a long day but perfect if you want to switch your brain off in terms of planing and getting around Paris for the day. Tip: request the hearing impaired headsets . Even though I am not hearing impaired they saved the day. Otherwise I would have struggled to hear w the EarPods as they kept falling out- - purely my ear lobes as the rest of group had no problem. This is not a cheap day for a family of 4 but well worth it. Even if only to skip the line and navigating around the Lourve. Thank you for your patience and knowledge.
Good Day with the Best Guide

5.00We had a great day touring the city, learning about Paris! This was our first time to Paris and we really had very little education on the city. This tour and Amile’s knowledge really taught us a lot.
Super guide and tour
