Mila is the best. So nice and so informative. Great History and extreme knowledge of art. Great day she is so organized and just do nice to be with. Great Day

Nila was an awesome and knowledgeable guide and flexed our tour to what we wanted to see. The walking tour through Montmartre was the highlight!

Amy communicated early, and was extremely friendly. We were impressed by both her warmth as well as her knowledge of French history. Highly recommend
John_L, Dec 2023
Our tour with Mila far exceeded our expectations!!! Mila’s knowledge about Paris and all of the sites that we wanted to see was exceptional!!
Her insights and ability to teach us about various aspects of the art in Orsay Museum proved us with many interesting conversations during our tour and afterwards! She helped us navigate the underground and efficiently planned all that we wanted to see.
Not only is she a top rate tour guide but we thoroughly enjoyed her company!! She is a gem and a very pleasant tour companion!
The owner of the company helped us get fast track tickets to the museum bc our time was so limited. Book with this company. You will be very pleased with the level of professionalism and expertise!

We had a private tour with Mila. Mila showed us around Paris and was very interesting. Her knowledge of Paris history was extensive. Mila made us feel relaxed.

Barbara our guide was excellent- informative and fun and our driver Char was excellent as well. Best investment for a private overview of Paris highlights. You will not be disappointed!!
Mary_M, Jul 2023
Stephanie was so knowledgeable about everything Paris. We never could have seen and done what we did without her in such a short period of time. It was a beautiful day, and we loved our stops for chocolate eclairs and crepes for lunch!
Carl_S, Jun 2023
Walking around outside the Louvre, the story of the Notre Dame, and walking through the Latin section.
Steven_Z, Jun 2023
The guide was nice and tried. We paid a lot of money for a tour that was disorganized (didn’t have a car for the first hour) and there was a lack of communication between the Viator and the guide. We tried to plan other sights (other than the top 30 sights - great tour!) the day prior and Viator reassured us that we would see interesting things since we let them know about this prior tour. We decided to let the experts give us a taste of other things to see in Paris. The guide was clueless. She had no idea we got the private car and no planned itinerary for the day except what we had seen the day prior. She ended up doing her best and showing us what she could. It was very expensive for the experience. Our other Viator experiences were great, but if you plan to do this make sure you plan your 6 hours out. The guide needs to communicate with you, not Viator. You need advanced notice to gain entry into places - Viator had advanced warning, but the guide did not and we were unable to go into places or visit sights. It was disappointing.

Our tour guide Alex was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable on the history of Paris and very thorough on our walking tour. She kept a comfortable pace and we were able to stop for a quick bite along the way. It was a sunny day but she made it a priority to stop & chat in shady areas as opposed to direct sunlight. Our walking tour gave us a good introduction to the city of Paris, which we then further explored the next two days on our own. We walked about 7-8 miles total, so be sure you wear comfortable walking shoes and bring sunscreen!
Brenda_D, May 2023
It was amazing. Our guide was so knowledgeable about everything we visited. He took the time to point out attractions we might like to see if we ever come back..
jessgraz, May 2023
Our tour guide Hannah was a delight as we toured the hot spots of Paris from the comfort of our own mini bus (we were 8 people). She also showed us parts of Paris that were secret gems - ones we would never think to visit on our own. Hannah’s was not only friendly and kind, but knew so much about Parisian history and cool facts about our stops. She was five stars!! The only reason this is 4 stars instead of 5 is because we realized that 6 hours is too long of a tour with a group of mixed ages - even with the bus available!
Janine_G, May 2023
Stephanie the tour guide was absolutely FANTASTIC
So much knowledge and enthusiasm
She also showed us the quainter things of Paris
Enjoyed it immensely
Would go again and use her everytime
Ron_S, May 2023
Views of the city, Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triumphe and many other landmarks. We had lunch at a very nice restaurant.
Cheryl_M, Jan 2023
What a perfect, fabulous tour! We had the best time ever! Our tour guide was extraordinarily knowledgeable, extremely patient, fun, kind and went above and beyond around every corner and bend in downtown Paris. It was our most favorite adventure on our trip. 10 stars!!!
Suzanne_M, Nov 2022
Tina did a great job, even if she seemed to be a little inexperienced. She provided a lot of information and made sure we saw all of the high points in Paris. I wish she had engaged with my daughter a little bit more. The second day, we asked to walk instead of using the driver and Tina was a great sport. We covered almost 8 miles! Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
Marlana_T, Nov 2022
Addie our travel guide was wonderful. We learned history of Paris visited beautiful places. She recommend a wonderful place to eat lunch. It was a perfect day. Thank you Addie for the wonderful memories.
Lauren_S, Nov 2022
The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable of the history and architecture of the city. Tour can be tailored to personal interests whether it be the arts, cuisine, history, etc. very personable and gracious guide
Donald_S, Oct 2022
Tina was our tour guide, she was awesome. Our driver was great getting us around. I wish I could have walked it more as sitting in Paris traffic was a drag. Definitely would recommend private tour, 1k to sit in traffic was a bummer, take the one where you use public transport. Either way ask for Tina! She videoed my wedding proposal and was so sweet!
Marie_R, Sep 2022
I apologize for this being late, my 18-year-old granddaughter and I, a 68-year-old with bad knees, took this tour back in June 22. It was perfect for us. As long walking was not something I could do. Our guide Addie was knowledgeable friendly understanding of my limitations and showed us so much more of Paris than I would’ve been able to manage on my own. Having both a guide and a driver also made it easier as we did not have to backtrack to find the car. Our driver just met us when we were ready to move on.
Maria_M, Jul 2022
Our wonderful guide Tina, met us at our hotel to get started right away and took us on a fabulous tour of all the highlights of Paris. Could of had more history at each spot but wandering the streets of Paris from spot to spot was Amazing!!
Trey_M, Jul 2022
Detailed and engaging history of Paris throughout our entire walk. This was the perfect way to acclimate. Our guide was energetic and knowledgeable, which made our day just that much better. Wonderful experience.
Tiara_S, Jul 2022
Barbara was fabulous! Very knowledgeable and we had a great experience and covered a lot of sites. Would book it again in the future.
Liz_P, Jul 2022
Both the guide and the driver were fantastic. We were travel as a group of five -- two seniors, two adults and a sixteen-year-old. We only had one day to spend in Paris (we had all been before). The guide was an invaluable source of information and showed us a side of Paris we hadn't seen, and provided local and historical color. The driver knew the best routes and where to park / let us out. It was exactly what we needed to make the most of our time in Paris.
Stephen_G, Jun 2022
Mila did a great job adapting to the wants and desires of our family of 7. She even set up an evening dinner reservation and walked inside to make sure all was good. Our family had a great time!
jodi_m, Jun 2022
This was a great tour. Addie was an amazing tour guide. She knew where to take us and knew her history inside and out. We loved that she had fun information mixed in with the history to make it entertaining and memorable. John was her driver who did a great job getting us around the city and it freed up Addie to focus on the sights. Highly recommend her and this tour.
Erwinbudiman_H, Apr 2022
We are having a good time and the guide was so informative
The car not so in good condition what i expected but still ok
Adele_L, Feb 2020
What an amazing experience! My family and I booked the tour as a day get-a-way from our London vacation. We wanted to see Paris but do not speak French and felt we would not be able to get around on our own. We wanted to make the most of our day in Paris and our guide Anya did just that!! She was very knowledgable and accommodating. We were picked up at the train station and she had messaged me prior to know where to meet up. Anya asked what our "must see" Paris attractions were and she hit all plus more! In 6 hours I feel we experienced what we wanted to see in the short time we had. We opted for the driving tour and our driver was fantastic! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone with a limited time in Paris!

First of all thanks to Viator for providing such a qualified and excellent guide. Secondly, Our guide Annia (hopefully I spelled it correctly) was so much more than we had expected. She spent the entire day walking us around each area of central Paris (the Metro was down because of the French Labor Manifestations). Her knowledge was exceptional and is one of the nicest people we encountered on our entire trip. We would highly recommend Viator (we ended up booking all of our activities through them after this experience and saved quite a bit of money). We would also clearly highly recommend Annia as guide as well.
Response from Host, Dec 2019
Hi there,
Thanks for the kind words, I am happy to hear you enjoyed our tour, especially under special circumstances as they are. We are happy and proud to have Anya as a part of the team. She and I both hope to have you as guests sometimes again.
Kind regards,

We have learnt a lot of histories from our tour guide Stephanie. She is very knowledgeable and friendly, plus she took really good pictures of me and my husband :). It is definitely a great way to start our adventure in Paris, like an overview of a book. For all these first time travelers, we definitely recommend you to sign up this trip!!
Response from Host, Jan 2020
