We only had 24 hours in Paris so this tour was perfect. We saw all of the major sights. Hamza, our guide share lots of history, fun facts, and stories that entertained me and my 16 year old niece.

We took the 4 hour tour and saw so much! Our tour guide, Sofiane, went out of his way to make sure we saw everything we requested. He’s so friendly. I will definitely request him if we go to Paris again.

Had an on time pick up at our hotel, reviewed areas of interest for us and set off. Great guide who was very knowledgable about Paris and its history. Helped us take pictures at scenic attractions and truly gave us a Parisian point of view.
Joseph_S, Oct 2025
We scheduled a private tour for the first day of our arrival hoping to gain some knowledge of Paris. It was our first visit to Paris.
Our driver, Diean picked us up in front of our hotel. He asked us what we wanted to see we told him the main sights. He also gave us some great suggestions. He took us to most of the main tourist attractions and gave us some great historical information on each one.
Dean was very knowledgeable and super friendly.
He went above and beyond our expectations.
He even stopped at several places to let us take pictures.
We had a fantastic time with Dean.
He was exceptional and went above and beyond our expectations.
Thank you Dean for a great tour around Paris!

Muniz was great! Came on time and pretty much was so flexible. He arranged all the places we wanted to visit very smoothly!
Ngozika_D, Sep 2025
Our sightseeing tour of Paris with Asim Saeed was excellent.
He picked us up on time and asked us what sights we wanted to see and tailored the tour to our satisfaction. He was very knowledgeable about the different historic sites we went to and was very engaging throughout the tour, the hours flew by very quickly. I highly recommend this tour, ask for Asim
Rhonda_D, Aug 2025
Sofianne was amazing. He’s personable, knowledgeable and provided us recommendations on where to eat great food in Paris. Highly recommend!
Robin_R, Aug 2025
It was very customized and private. We loved the versatility and our guide was great.
We saw all of the highlights of Paris and more.
John_K, Aug 2025
Wonderful tour guide! Knowledgeable and friendly. Enjoyed! . A+! Private tour let us go at our own pace and pick where we wanted to go.
torchvic, Aug 2025
How lucky we were to have Asim Hassan Saeed show us Paris on our 8 hour private tour. We saw everything on our wish list and more. Paris is such a beautiful city and Asim knew the best places for perfect photos and where to drop us off to explore and magically appear at the other side to pick up. He was kind, friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour and hope you are lucky enough to get Asim too.
Louise_Z, Aug 2025
We had the pleasure to be guided by Mr Paul. He is amazing and very knowledgeable about the beautiful historical places he took us to around London. We highly recommend him and his tour! Bonus: he takes great pictures!
Andrew_V, Jul 2025
We had a great time on our 4 hour tour of Paris. Our guide, Asim, picked us up at our hotel in his vehicle and let us know that he would stop anywhere we liked along the way. Asim was very informative and personable. We were able to see all of the Paris highlights in the 4 hours, and even had time to stop for pictures and grab a quick bite to eat. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get a great overview of the city’s main sites and attractions. Request Asim and you will be very happy!!
Bonita_E, Jul 2025
Osman was professional and friendly. Also very prompt and accommodating. Would definitely look to book again when in Paris.
Keith_A, Jun 2025
What a fantastic ride through the city of Paris! Asim Hassan Saeed (our driver) was awesome- very kind, safe, knowledgeable and fun! My wife and I saw so much. He hit all the big sites and still had time to show the cultural side.
Patricia_W, May 2025
Our tour guide, Dean, was the best! He created a custom tour, ensuring that we saw all the landmarks we were interested in. He suggested starting a little earlier so that we could enter the Notre Dame on a Sunday morning during the church service. He took many photos of us along the tour. Dean also suggested a wonderful cafe to eat and where to find a river cruise after the tour. We highly recommend this half day sightseeing tour of Paris, it was the highlight of our trip!

There was a big mix-up, tour was supposed to be on April 28th, they showed up for it on March 28th. I did not go on this tour, and I am very disappointed and unhappy with losing my money. Tour company won't correct this error.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Hi John Joseph, we understand your concern regarding the mix-up with your tour date, and we sincerely regret any inconvenience this has caused. We want to assure you that we are aware you have been in contact with our Support team, and a member of our team will be reaching out to you as soon as possible to assist further. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Andrew_A, Mar 2025
This is my wife and my second time booking this tour in Paris. We had visitors in town for their first visit to France. Our guide, Ahmet, was fantastic. He grew up in Paris and added a lot of local insight on the people of Paris. He worked with us to adjust the itinerary to accomodate more of what we wanted to show them and we learned more things on this tour ourselves. He even dropped us off at the end of the tour at a restaurant we always wanted to visit, near Notre Dame. I will book this trip every time we have new visitors and I can't rate Ahmet higher. If you are able to request him or luckily enough to get him as your guide, you will be glad you did.
Michael_W, Jan 2025
This experience far exceeded by expectations. Our driver/guide, NORDINE, was super friendly and professional. He went the extra mile through major traffic on New Year's Eve and despite it all, was still able to get us to our destinations safely. He even went the extra mile assisting us to locate a location to purchase postage stamps to mail postcards. Fantastic review for a job very well done.
Thank you Nordine! Great job!
Cindy_G, Nov 2024
We paid 580. For a private half day tour.
Our tour was only 1 1/2 long. Which l think a half day should be about 4 1/2 hours long. We left our hotel at 9:00 and returned at 10:15. We drove around in a car which was very hard to view the city while sitting in the back seat.
We only made two stops for us to get out and look at the sites and scenery.
Very disappointed in this tour.

What an amazing experience. Dean our tour guide made sure to show us all of the must sees in Paris. We had only one day and feel like we saw it all ! He was an encyclopedia of information and so considerate and helpful. Highly recommend!
Brittny_T, Sep 2024
This tour was an absolute lifesaver. I was only in Paris for 16 hours and it was a dream of mine to go and see the city. I was able to be picked up from the hotel I was staying in and see so much before we went to the airport with plenty of time to check in. If anything I can suggest, start the tour as early as possible to avoid lines and really get an opportunity to see the sights without too many people or tourists out as well. If you want transfer to the airport, make sure you communicate that before hand, it may cost a little more but it is definitely worth it and gives peace of mind.
Louise_N, Sep 2024
Our driver, Afid was prompt to pick us up at our hotel. He tried to maneuver traffic and barricades due to the Special Olympics! He did a great job. We saw everything we wanted to see and some others that Afid suggested!
Very nice half day despite the rain!
Jill_L, Aug 2024
So grateful we reserved this tour! Excellent, professional, and knowledgeable guide and driver. Today was such a highlight of our visit to Paris. Attempting to see it all on our own would have been a big mistake.
Vicki_A, Jul 2024
Din was amazing. Due to Olympics, the streets were full busy and sometimes closed, He made sure we saw all of the highlights which were on the itinerary even though it took him much longer to drive around. He took great pictures on his camera and sent them to me.
He was very accommodating, friendly. Just an overall great tour and tour guide.
Soloman_R, Jun 2024
It was the worst Tourguide in my life. In 3 hours he said maybe 20 words.
It was a driver who has no idea about the town or history.
We tried to ask questions, but could not get any information. Except the name of the building. Nothing else.
Response from Host, Jun 2024

Lisa_Y, Jun 2024
This tour was way over priced for what you get to see and do! Maybe worth half the cost. The driver was rude at times and drove so fast we didn't have time to stop to take pictures at certain iconic spots! Very disappointed. The itinerary says 30 minutes at some spots and drive by at others. We never stayed 30 minutes at any spot and always felt rushed when he did make a stop. Overall, he wasn't a bad person just lacks good English for a tour that says English speaking guide. I'm not knocking his English, he spoke what he could, but because of the difficulties understanding him he came across rude and no personality. For a tour that cost that much, I would expect top notch service! Very disappointed. Save your money and do a different tour.
Regina_M, Jun 2024
There is no story to tell. You cancelled the trip. I expect a refund. Please send it soon. ( they asked for more about the trip)
Response from Host, Jun 2024

Our driver was pleasant and provided much needed info on our first day. Comfortable transportation for group of 5.
Richard_R, Jun 2024
Great tour. Perfect way to see Paris with the family when you only have one day. Hamza was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable and tailored the tour for us.
