We took the Food Tour in the wonderful 7eme arrondissement. In a few hours we sampled many of France’s most famous edible symbols from bakers, cheesemongers, chocolatiers and fine-dining chefs. Did we enjoy it? If you are considering this tour, better bring those taste buds well-rested for a delicious sprint AND marathon. Be rest assured, I don’t imply there’s any rush here: samples are elegantly French-sized, some you can enjoy as you stroll and others merit the moment around the table. April even provides a “little digestive” for what you’re savoring with precious trivia-sized origin tales. This may give you the edge for your next game night. Merci, April!

The half-day tour with April was great! She was on time, picked us up directly from our airbnb, and took us through the Metro to Notre Dame, and then around the historic district. She made the tour and history fun for both adults, teens, and kids! She is very knowlegeable about French history and has some really fun stories. She took us to a very cool neighborhood, and at the end of the tour gave us a lot of other recommendations to do / see / eat in the area. 100% would recommend!

As an ex Parisian, April showed me parts of the city I had never discovered before. Her cheerful spirit and infectious joy made the experience unforgettable! I loved rediscovering my city in a new way. I wholeheartedly recommend her 100%.

We had an excellent time with April 💕 She showed us Belleville, a neighborhood we didn’t know, sharing many anecdotes and taking us to unusual places. She knows Paris—its history and its secrets—better than the Parisians themselves ! We would definitely do it again to discover other neighborhoods !

This was our second time coming to Paris and April was our first call! She is the most lovely, energetic, knowledgeable woman we have ever met! We have done multiple tours with her! On this trip, we did the food tour and not only did we get to try all kinds of new Parisian items, we learned about the history of eclairs and baguettes and more! In a world where traveling to new cities can be very stressful trying to choose what to do to make the most of your time, April should be your first call too! Any of the tours she does will be well worth it and you won’t regret a thing. There are other places in the world that we want to see, but we keep wanting to come back to Paris so we can spend more time with April and her team and enjoy everything Paris has to offer! Thank you, thank you thank you!!!

We visited Paris in 2018 and used April in Paris Tours for 3 Tours- Paris Highlights, Versailles and Museum Highlights. We have since recommended April and her team to countless others who also became satisfied customers. We had one day in Paris yesterday and there was no question we would spend time with April in Paris Tours. We were fortunate Simone was available for an “Off the Beaten Path” tour. Simone is a captivating storyteller who brought history to life for us as we walked the streets of Paris exploring places and areas we never would have found on our own. Ever mindful of our comfort, Simone insured our time together was tailored to our interests patiently answering all our questions, taking lots of pictures for us and genuinely engaging with us to make sure we has the best possible experience. At the end, Simone sent us a list of everything we had discussed (ie- best cheese shop) so we could easily have all of the necessary resources to enhance the rest of our trip. April in Paris tours is a company gifted in passing along a genuine love for the city to anyone who is smart enough to book with them. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone- single, couples, multigenerational, first time in Paris or Francophiles. Stop reading reviews and go ahead and book now!

I booked two tours with April for my September solo trip. This day was the second tour. I had sent April a very, very long wish list of things I wanted to do or places I wanted to see and April worked her magic!! It was an absolutely perfect day - and April had some surprises in store that weren't on my bucket list but I'm so glad she did. We were able to do so much more than I had expected during my time with her. The information she sent me after both tours has now made my list even longer - all the more reason to schedule another trip to Paris and spend time with April. In fact, I have already scheduled another visit with her for next year and can't wait to see her again. April knows so much about Paris and any time spent with her will be time well spent. April has become a good friend and it was so hard to say goodbye at the end of our time together but I am so happy I have more to look forward to. April's tours are one of Paris' best and no trip should be made to Paris without scheduling a tour with her!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We booked the Half Day Historic Tour with April in Paris, and it was the highlight of our trip! April is not only an outstanding guide, but also a truly warm and genuine person. From the moment we met her, it felt like exploring Paris with a dear friend. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and thoughtful follow-up set her apart. She took beautiful photos for us, gave fantastic recommendations (which we’ve already started using!), and made the entire experience seamless and personal. This was our first private tour, and April has completely raised the bar—we can’t imagine touring Paris any other way. If you’re looking for history, hidden gems, and the feeling of being cared for every step of the way, April in Paris is the perfect choice.

Celebrating Xmas in a French castle was a dream for me. April had the idea to take me, not only to a castle, but to one of the most famous French Castle near Paris: Vaux-le-Vicomte. In December, the castle was « wearing » an incredible Xmas dress ! We had access to the garden fully decorated, with a magnificent scenography projected on the walls of the castle, at night ! But, the best, was the access inside the castle. April knew at what time get inside in order to feel almost like in your own castle, without other tourists! She mad this time experience unique by enjoying as much as me every room of the castle fully Xmas decorated around various them ! I said it, Vaux le Vicomte tour with April in Paris for Xmas is a must be done. Thank you again
