Paris interpreted by a Parisian

5.00Benoit was so knowledgeable about Paris both historically and in the present. In addition to giving us a thoroughly delightful tour he offered us wonderful restaurant recommendations that greatly enhanced our stay. We are frequent visitors to Paris, but feel we know it better now thanks to the time we spent with one of its most engaged inhabitants.

5.00Great afternoon with William as our guide, who was very knowledgable and entertaining. Interesting observations on history and architecture, presented with great panache and well balanced for the mixed level of knowledge within our group. We all utterly enjoyed the afternoon and William was quoted several times during our dinner that night. Thank you!
Wonderful Tour

5.00My husband and I appreciated this in-depth tour that delighted and surprised us both. Do not pass this tour up- ours ended up being more of a private tour because no one else booked it- which made it much more intimate and fun. A major thank you to our guide who waited for us patiently after we ran into issues with our credit card and train passes. Also- our guide had a recommendations list-and we visited one of the restaurants...and it was great!
Book Team Adam -- You will not be disappointed!

5.00Wow, I originally attended a tour last year with Team Adam....I was so impressed by his extensive, thorough knowledge of the tour subjects, I was happy to go again in May2025 with friends visiting Paris on the same tour. I learned even more the second time around. Major benefit is that he gives you a headset to wear during the walking tour and you hear everything he says....no more striving to hear it all when you're not close to him or get spread apart within a group. A big plus! And believe me, you want to hear everything he does says. Pleasant,, complete, and very enjoyable. Become part of Team Adam and you won't be disappointed. Thanks Adam; it was great and now I have a much different and better understanding about Marie Antoinette too. You are best.
3 hour walking tour of Notre Dame ext. & entrance into Conciegelerie & St Chappelle & other historical elements of Cite

5.00This was our second experience with Team Adam and it was well worth every minute. We had first met Team Adam for a tour of the landmarks on Cite back in 2024 and it was part of a larger group tour. We decided to request for Adam to help provide a smaller tour for a group of 4 and it covered Conciergerie , St Chappelle & the surroundings of Notre Dame over 3 hours. It was insightful and deeply meaningful. Adam is a phenomenal story teller and was able to bring to life all of the history that pins the landmarks and provide an interesting narrative as well. He has an amazing ability to draw the audience into the setting and the story and makes you feel part of the tour. Our friends from Los Angeles that were visiting said it was their best day in Paris ! One would be hard pressed to find a more knowledgeable and passionate tour guide around the history and landmarks of Cite ! We are already planning the next tour experience with Team Adam ! The consensus was everyone felt they learnt details of France thats memorable. Thank you again !
Extraordinary tour of Île de la Cité & the astounding Sainte-Chapelle! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5.00Extraordinary guide, full of eccentric details, and beautiful imagery & anecdotes! The walking tour of Île de la Cité brought us back through a millennium of heritage and astounded us with the imagery and beauty of Sainte-Chapelle. Functional audio guide and earpieces made everything clear and easy. One of the most satisfying guided tours I have ever taken!
Exceptional tour guide and great tour. Would recommend and use again!

5.00Adam was our extremely well informed guide on this three hour tour and quite honestly, he had our full attention for the entirety of it !!!! From architectural details to deep insights into the lives and conditions of the people who populated these buildings, Adam's quick witted and highly informed delivery style (he knew all 16 names from the start !!!) made for a really informative and enjoyable tour. I have no hesitation in recommdending Adam to anyone wanting a guided tour which doesn't feel like a guided tour !! Go Team Adam !!!
