  This November we took our first trip ever to Paris. It was a quick 4-day trip and I was overwhelmed with all the city had to offer. I came across My Private Paris from the Les Frenchies facebook group and I'm so glad that I did! After initially reaching out I was connected with a planner. I explained the type of things we were looking to do and from there the planner did the rest. Within a few days I had a very exciting itinerary laid out for our trip. We worked with the planner to make a few adjustments, confirmed the agenda, paid through their portal and then we were set. Prior to departing we received access to an app that had our agenda, meeting locations and contact information for drivers and guides. Like clockwork our guides and drivers met us exactly where they said they would meet us and when. A+ for logistics. As far as the actual tours go, I'm still in awe. We've toured with other professional companies in the past and none of the guides were as well versed and passionate as these guides. Each guide we worked with, was full of information turning every single day into a fun history lesson. While we only spent four days in Paris I walked away learning so much about the architecture, layout, culture et cetera. My wife wasn't keen on having tour guides with us throughout our trip but by the end she was thrilled that we did. Now when we go visit again, we'll really feel like we have an edge over the city. The cost wasn't super prohibitive and the experience was over the top! Arrival Day: Flora accompanied us to the Rodin, Concorde Square and the Invalids. Her knowledge of Rodin as well as the history of Paris and the revolution was remarkable. She really brought the city to life for us. Museum day: Lucien accompanied us to the Orsay, Orangerie, Louvre and Opera. He knew the buildings inside and out, he knew every detail about the art he showed us. It was like a really fun history lesson of all the things they didn't teach us in the US school system. Our tour was 9 hours which meant we also had to stop for lunch. He found has a great little bistro that wasn't full of tourists and we were able to have a great/quick lunch. Wine and Cheese Tasting: We did this was Marie. First stop she met us at a cheese shop and talked us through the variety of cheeses. She told us to think of her as our fun grandmother, meaning she was going to fill us up with wine and cheese before we were done! She helped us pick out a bunch of cheeses and then we went to the bakery for some bread. From there we walked around Le Marais and learned a bit about the neighborhood, finally ending up at the tasting room. The room was in a really cool cellar of a local wine shop. We pair the wine, cheese and breads and the experience was nothing short of spectacular, relaxing and informative. Marie also gave my wife tips on where to find some vintage bags after the tour. Montmarte: Our guide Audrey was a Montmarte local and that just made this tour even more special. We started at the Moulin Rouge and made our way up to Sacre Coeur. Along the way Audrey was pointing out homes of famous painters, locations that inspired famous paintings, modern art and spots where the locals love to hang out and have a cup of coffee. You could feel her passion for the area and that made this tour super special. Overall - we had an incredible experience with our guides (hence the novel I wrote). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend My Private Paris and I have already told others that they need to use this service next time they are in Paris. Thank you for making our trip so special!

  What a Wonderful walking tour of Paris! Ludivine aka Lulu, was nothing short of amazing! Her knowledge of the history of the off the beaten-track was so insightful and entertaining, it sealed a lovely trip to France for my wife and myself. The staff at My Private Paris was wonderful and I highly recommend their services. Kevin - Western Springs, IL

  We started our Paris sojourn with Marie and it was excellent - like walking through the city with a fun and knowledgeable friend. Started at the Palais Garnier and ended at the Canals with some cafes, historical sites, graffiti artist ‘Invader’, and fascinating stories and pleasant conversation along the way. It was the perfect introduction to set us off on adventures for the rest of our stay. We’ve already recommended this tour to friends on their way to Paris. Merci boucoup, Marie!

  

  

  

  

  

  

• Paris walking tour with Lucien was better than the Pyramids in Egypt

  We traveled for two week from Egypt, France, and England. Our kids said their favorite part of the whole trip was the walking tour of Paris with Lucien, who tailored our experience and engaged with our two teenagers. Thanks for making this the highlight of the trip, which exceeded the Pyramids, Luxor, and King Tut’s tomb.

  We had a wonderful guide experience with Soline. She guided us through Paris like a pro - taking the time to understand what we wanted to see and then developing a game plan for us to get the most out of our time with her. She knew exactly where to get the best pictures and how to avoid the crowds while still getting the best experience. Our party of four was unanimous in our agreement that the visit would not have been complete without this tour and with Soline as our guide. She was even successful at getting us access to places that would have required tickets far in advance. I can't provide enough praise for MPP and Soline and will recommend them both to any friends visiting Paris.

  Having visited Paris several times I had some very specific requests in that I wanted a much more in-depth tour about the history, art and architecture handcrafted especially for me. MyPrivate Paris met and exceeded all my expectations. They have the expertise and connections to plan a memorable tour. I wanted a much more in-depth tour of Versailles, Fountainbleau, Vaux-le-Vicomte and Chantilly. They really worked very hard to meet my requests. And they succeeded. I was very grateful for the completeness of all the arrangements. They were very pleasant to work with and communicated very well with me about my requests. My guide was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Go Umberto :). They arrange everything for you, including tickets, passes and permissions and a driver to pick you up at your location and drop you off after wards. They take care of everything except lunch! The driver was very courteous and prompt. On the drive we talked about the history and significance of these sites. I was very impressed and very happy and I can recommend them highly. I will use them again in the future. No other tour has come close to matching their completeness and coverage of history, art and architecture that I wanted to see. Thank You for a memorable time.

  I came to Paris many time and was looking to find a new experience. Marion, our tour guide, took us to many different places, A lot of which I had never send before! I really felt like she was a friend taking us through her favorite neighborhoods in the city. She even took us to this cute pastry shop when we started getting hungry! I was super happy with this tour and now I feel like I actually know Paris!
