Loik was an awesome tour guide! If you’re looking to spend a great morning in Paris kind of off the beaten path, learning things you would have never learned before this is for you! We had a great time

This was a very lovely tour with stories you won't hear anywhere else in Paris. It's nice to have a local to guide you to the best treats in Paris, and to share some delightfully morbid stories with you. If I'd had more time in Paris I would have checked out his website to see what else he offers!!

Fun, Tasty, and Totally Unique!

This tour was one of the highlights of our time in Paris! Loik was a fantastic guide : funny, friendly, and full of great stories. He took us through the beautiful area around Notre-Dame, stopping at amazing pastry shops and sharing some fascinating stories. The pastries were absolutely delicious (seriously, some of the best we had in Paris), and Loik made everything even more fun with his great energy and knowledge. It felt like a walk with a friend who knows all the coolest hidden spots and the best sweets in town. If you love desserts and want to learn something different about Paris, definitely book this tour. Thank you, Loik!
