Tetiana was one of the...

caroline_l, Aug 2025
Tetiana was one of the best tour guides I have had with Viator. She made it so fun and it was very informative. Her English was perfect.

Highly recommended

Richard_B, Jul 2025
A fun and informative tour. The tour guide, Sania, was extremely knowledgeable, and not just about the Netflix show which inspired the tour, she knows her history too! The tour lasted over 2 hours, and included some familiar and not so familiar tourist stops. Given the heat, it is to Sania’s credit that she kept the group so engaged. Plenty of stops along the way for photos.

Very good guide very knowledgeable

Eric_M, Jul 2025
Interesting if you’ve seen Emily in paris or not as the guide explains what you see en route our group was small so it was easy to follow

Horrendous company DO NOT USE

Debbie_W, May 2025
Booked well in advance and booked the additional Seine cruise along with the Emily in Paris tour. They actually have nothing to do with each other. The tour ran well over the advertised time and ended miles away from where your suppose to pick up the cruise. Also no tickets were sent through until approx 1hr before the last cruise was setting sail. The company refused to offer a refund as said you can use it for up to 1 year! We explained that we were only here for a day, where miles away from where the cruise was and could get there in time as the tour ran over and we had been sent no info at all about the cruise. They then advised they had now sent the tickets through but refused to do anything else to help. Needless to say be missed the cruise. WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND OR USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN AND WOULD ADVISE ANYONE TO STEER CLEAR. RIP off is an understatement.

Response from Host, May 2025

Hello Debbie, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration it caused, especially given your limited time in Paris. That’s certainly not the kind of experience we aim to provide. We’d like to clarify that while the Emily in Paris tour and the Seine cruise can be booked together, they are separate experiences and operate independently. The cruise is a flexible, self-guided option that can be used at any time during the day of your choice—or at any point within a year, as noted in the booking terms. However, we do understand that this flexibility isn’t helpful when you're only in the city for a short time. We sincerely regret that the timing of the tour and cruise didn’t align better for your schedule. While we understand your disappointment, we hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future. We’d love the opportunity to provide you with a more seamless and enjoyable experience. Best regards, Team Experience First

Cover multiple Paris neighborhoods

Fae_U, May 2025
We covered a lot of ground to hit many of the “Emily in Paris” filming sites. Enjoyed additional Parisian history along with seeing photos from the show at each site we visited. Be prepared to keep up with the brisk walk thru many neighborhoods & Luxembourg Gardens. Very enjoyable.

We loved it!

ROBIN_R, May 2025
Tons of fun for all the sites! It was freezing cold but still worth it. We would love to go back and do this tour when the weather is warmer. We went in November.

Great walking tour mixed...

Stephen_B, Apr 2025
Great walking tour mixed with a little history. A little longer than I expected! Our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining.

Walking in the shoes of Emily in Paris

Lisajoyce_V, Mar 2025
This was an amazing tour for those Emily in Paris fans. We literally walked to all the major sites of the show. We started the tour at her apartment and as you know Chef Gabriel's restaurant was literally steps away. It was such a great treat. The bakery that Emily had her first crossiant was next to his restaurant. Tatiana was a great tour guide who knew all the ins and outs of the show. Everything was so close by except Emily's office. That was a far walk but worth it. I highly recommend this tour. I would do it again!

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Dear Lisa, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a great time on the tour and enjoyed visiting all the iconic spots from Emily in Paris. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Tetiana—she’ll be so happy to hear you appreciated her knowledge and guidance. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to have you on another tour in the future! Best regards, Team Experience First

Amazing Tour with Tetiana

Sameer_K, Feb 2025
Amazing Tour. Tetiana was so knowledgeable and caring about us and explained everything to extreme details. Such an amazing guide!

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Dear guest, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear that you had an amazing tour and that Tetiana provided such detailed and caring guidance. She truly is an exceptional guide! We hope to welcome you on another tour soon! Best regards, Team ExperienceFirst

5 star walking tour

Alisa_C, Jan 2025
A fabulous walking tour with our very kniwledgable guide Paula. It took around 2 hours and covered most of the Emily in Paris hot spots but also past some historical landmarks. Gave us a great insight into Parisien culture as well. Would recommend.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Dear Alisa, Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the walking tour with Paula. It’s wonderful to hear that you appreciated the mix of Emily in Paris hotspots and historical landmarks, as well as the insights into Parisian culture. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable experience! Best regards, Team ExperienceFirst

Wouldn’t recommend

Jane_B, Dec 2024
Wouldn’t recommend. Too big a group could t hear tour guide. Not what expected gave up after 30min The talk was more about did you see series 2 episode 1 etc et. what happened in it The Resturant was good to see and where Emily stayed but that was about it. The fact you couldn’t hear due to group size was probably the major factor of it

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Dear Jane, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. We understand how important it is to hear the guide clearly, and we apologize for the difficulty you had during your tour. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the restaurant and Emily's stay location, and we hope to improve your experience in the future. Thank you again for your input! Best regards, Team ExperienceFirst

It was magnificent !

Frank_L, Nov 2024
Our tour was perfect!!! Our guide was very professional, fun, and informative! Her name was Tatiana! Not only did we walk around Paris to Emily’s spots. She was helpful in explaining the numerous spots!

Living Emily’s life

LeeAnn_R, Nov 2024
Just a fun little tour if you are a fan of the show! Even if you are not a watcher of Emily there are many beautiful places seen

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Dear Lee Ann, Thank you for your review! We're happy to hear you had a great time on the tour, regardless of whether you're a fan of the show. It's wonderful that you enjoyed exploring the beautiful locations. We look forward to welcoming you on another tour soon! Best regards, Team ExperienceFirst

Enjoyable Day

Sandra_G, Oct 2024
Enjoyable day tour. Elizabeth in Paris was an excellent tour guide. Really enjoyed the sites listed on itinerary. Loved the gardens and would just prefer a few more minutes to enjoy Luxembourg Gardens. It was a WOW factor.

Loved our Emily in Paris tour!

Lisa_T, Aug 2024
Sania was great! She had lots of information about Paris history in addition to the Emily in Paris details. We especially appreciated getting the French perspective on this show.

Fun Experience

Rachel_R, Aug 2024
Our tour guide, Jan, was amazing! It was such a fun tour & she also gave us history behind stops from the show. She also knew the scenes well & let us take pictures. On top of this, the people in the tour were great too. I highly recommend this experience!

Great guide and way to see parts of the city

Holly, Aug 2024
We had a great time on the tour. The guide was very experienced and easy to talk to. The walk took about 2 hours, there was a shuttle mentioned in the advertisement but it is a walking tour.

Very good

Martha_A, Jul 2024
The guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. It was the hottest time of the day. So it was a bit hot during the tour

Tetiana's tour is the best!

Lesley_C, Jul 2024
My friend and I enjoyed the Emily in Paris tour. Our guide Tetiana was excellent in every way. Not only did she know all about the show and characters, and the places they frequented in Paris, she also shared lots of information about monuments, parks and gardens, and exquisite little streets I'd never have found by myself. She really showed (and taught) me a lot and had a very professional yet warm and charming manner. The tour was great and I commend Tetiana to you.

Emily in Paris + Landmarks

Carrie_B, Jun 2024
Perfect way to experience both the filming location highlights of Emily in Paris series and Paris landmarks all in one! Tatiana was the best!

Great Tour!

Susan_L, Feb 2024
We had a great time on this tour. Tatiana was a great tour guide. She had so much knowledge about the show and all the famous spots she took us to from the show. She even gave us other tidbits of information about Paris throughout the tour. It was so fun and exciting to see where Emily actually worked, lived, ran and ate. This tour has a lot of walking so make sure you like to do that. But it’s great because you get to see so many parts of Paris. We loved it!

Fun tour, great guide!

Katherine_R, Nov 2023
Had a fabulous tour with Tetiana. Would recommend even for people who aren’t big fans of the show as we saw lovely parts of Paris and leaned a bit of history. Tetiana was great at keeping a good place and offered to take photos all along the way.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

The team is super delighted to hear that you had the most fun experience with our tour. Thank you very much for leaving a review!

Our guide Paulo is...

Winnie_W, Oct 2023
Our guide Paulo is wonderful, she not only provides information of the tv show but also information about the history, restaurants, etc. I had a great time.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thanks for your 5 stars and for choosing Experience First, we appreciate it! We can't wait to be of service to you again on your next trip!

Over priced

Kirsten_M, Sep 2023
Expensive for what you’re getting. You could find a self guided tour online and have a similar experience.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

I am not happy to hear this. You booked a tour with a guide and our guides generally bring added value to the experience, as is the general consensus in our thousands of 5 star reviews. If this was not the case for you I would be willing to investigate further if you would message back with your booking reference. In any case I am happy to offer a free walking tour as a courtesy. Best regards, Nihad.

Amazing Emily in Paris tour
