He made note of our interests and showed us booths that catered to them. We learned a lot about the city as well. He gave us some recommendations of places to check out. He's very obviously popular with the vendors. Everywhere we stopped people were happy to see him and chat.

Paris Bike Tour Hidden Secrets in the Latin Quarter & Le Marais neighborhoods

Danielle_T, Oct 2025

Cece is the best guide you will ever have!

I cannot rate this tour highly enough. Thank you so much to the incredible Cece on being the best tour guide we could have asked for. We ended up being the only people on the biking tour, and were celebrating our 40th birthdays (3 best friends from high school). Cece went out of her way to make the tour extra memorable. She didn’t rush us at all, and in fact stayed with us longer than she had to just to make sure we saw everything we needed to see. I have been on a ton of tours in my life, and not one has been as good as this one. I will be recommending Cece to anyone I know that is visiting Paris. She does a ton of different tours, not just this one. Thank you Cece for a 40th birthday in Paris that we won’t soon forget!!!

Craft a unique souvenir hat with Lady Gaga’s renowned hatmaker

MaryAC_F, Jun 2025

Fun with Fabrice

Hat making with fabulous Fabrice was fun, fun, fun. Very interesting to learn the effort it takes to shape a hat properly. I appreciated Fabrice using translation technology so I could understand everything despite me not fluent in French. Looking sharp in my new blue hat. Highly recommend. Store clerk Mary super helpful getting me a taxi ride after when outdoor temperature soared to 90 F.
