Fantastic start in Paris

5.00Clara was wonderful! We chose to do the tour on our first day in Paris after a long overnight flight, and she kept us engaged and moving the whole time. She knows the city incredibly well, has a lively attitude, and connected easily with our family of four, including our two teenage daughters. We covered many of the main highlights and it was a perfect way to see the top spots.
Perfect Tour

5.00Isabella was an incredible tour guide! My husband and I had just arrived in Paris and chose to book a tour to get familiar with the city. Isabella met us directly at our hotel and delivered a top-quality experience. She was extremely knowledgeable about history while also sharing personal perspectives on local culture and activities.

5.00We’ve traveled through Europe many times and have met some great guides, but honestly, Isabelle stood out as the very best. Her deep knowledge of the region, her enthusiasm, and her genuine curiosity about us made the experience unforgettable. The pace of the tour was perfect — relaxed yet full of fascinating stops and insights. We discovered so many hidden gems that we’d have missed on our own. I only wish we’d had more time with Isabelle

5.00We had the pleasure of exploring Paris with Hugo as our guide, and the experience couldn’t have been better. His wide-ranging knowledge of the city added so much depth to our visit. Hugo effortlessly engaged everyone in our group—from age 10 to 70—which says a lot about his talent and approach. Truly a top-notch guide and highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy Paris in a meaningful way!
Maravilloso

5.00This tour was absolutely fantastic, and not only because Paris is amazing — Achraf was himself a hidden gem!! We thoroughly enjoyed our time seeing all kinds of things we never would have considered otherwise, and in the company of Achraf these things were even better. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable, but was genuinely a joy to spend time with. If you are considering this tour, and especially if you’re considering Achraf, know that you can’t go wrong and will remember the experience for years to come!
Great time. Natalia did a wonderful job

A gem of a Paris walk conducted by a GEM

5.00I dont think anyone other than Susan could have done justice to this walk. I was lucky to be the only one walking with her and hence we had a lot of interaction and there was flexibility in terms of what we could do which included stopping for the cult hot chocolate at Carette. Susan was a great story teller, responsive to my preferences and managed to help me experience parts of Paris I never would have found and enjoyed on my own. Including the following - 1)Canal Saint Martin 2)Place de la République 3)Rue de Bretagne 4)Marché des Enfants Rouges 5)Place des Vosges 6)Carette (Place des Vosges) 7)Victor Hugo’s House 8)Église saint Paul saint Louis 9)Galerie Lafayette roof top Highly, highly recommended for anyone who wants to discover the authentic, non touristy side of Paris. Grateful to Susan. God bless.
Thumbs up!
