Loved the tour - you could customize it. Seats were very comfortable and Dov shared history and recommendations. We arrived at Eiffel Tower at the perfect time.
Judit_M, Jul 2026
It was a perfect start to our little Parisian vacation! My husband and son are car enthusiasts and this was a true gem for them. Also really easy way of sightseeing after traveling and adjusting to a new city. Benjamin was knowledgable with both of history and local facts.
Soosan_K, Jun 2026
BEN is wonderful and extremely knowledgeable. We thought this would only be a cool car ride but it was also an amazing historical tour as well!! He knows everything about Paris and will show you all of its beauty. He is kind and personable as well.
If you are going to Paris, this experience is a MUST.

This was a fabulous tour! Ben is very personable and shared lots of interesting facts about the city as we drove around. The ride is a real luxury! It's a very cool car, classic, and SSSOOO comfortable. Popular too! So many people took our picture as we passed by, we felt like celebrities! I highly recommend this as the BEST way to see Paris!
Rachel_P, May 2026
Ben is wonderful! Gave us a great tour with great knowledge of the city and in a fantastic car. Had a great time and highly recommend!
Karen_H, May 2026
Ben brought a local’s take and stories along with us for the ride. The car is gorgeous and lots of fun to tour in. Ben tailored the trip to fit our requests but also showed us wonderful sights and shared interesting facts and tidbits along the way. We would highly recommend the tour.
Claudia_W, May 2026
Benjamin was a delightful guide and his beautiful vintage Citroen is super comfortable! He took us on a great tour of the city sharing numerous facts about the history of France and the monuments in Paris. Very interesting and we learned a lot!
The car is a real gem and was an attention getter as we drove through Paris!
Kathleen_W, May 2026
A truly delightful way to see Paris. We booked this car tour for our first day in Paris which gave us a great overview of the city. Ben was charming and informative.
Vince_B, May 2026

Ernst_S, May 2026
As you only regret in life you have NOT done I wanted to do this trip in an original Citroën DS from the 70's. What a phantastic experience. The driver Ben could explaine all the details and historical data of the monuments ans places we went. There's only one disadvantage: These two hours of the trip are so quickly over...
Betsy_H, May 2026
A truly unforgettable experience. We spent two hours exploring Paris in a stunning vintage French DS, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. Riding in such an iconic car is a dream for any car lover—the elegance, the smooth ride, and the unmistakable style make it so much more than just transportation. At the same time, it’s a fantastic way for anyone to get to know the city on a deeper level, far beyond what you’d experience on a typical tour.
Our guide, Ben, was exceptional—knowledgeable, warm, and incredibly attentive throughout. He shared fascinating insights about Paris, pointing out details and stories we would have completely missed otherwise. He also went out of his way to ensure my elderly mom was comfortable, never rushing us and making the entire experience feel relaxed, thoughtful, and personal.
The combination of a beautiful vintage car and such a genuinely kind and passionate guide made this experience feel truly special. It struck the perfect balance between sightseeing and storytelling, all at a comfortable pace.
I couldn’t recommend him more highly—if you’re considering this, don’t hesitate. It’s something you’ll remember long after your trip ends.
John_H, Apr 2026
Benjamin gave us a wonderful tour of the highlights of the Paris city center. The vintage car was a great addition, it certainly turned a lot of heads as we drove down Paris side streets. The car had plenty of room for the four of us and the seats and temperature were very comfortable. He even had an umbrella for the little rain shower we encountered during our trip while taking photos near the Eiffel tower.
Ben had a good knowledge of the history of the different neighborhoods and we were impressed at his ability to offer interesting commentary while negotiating the narrow streets of the city. This was a very unique experience and a great way to kick off our four days in Paris!
Danielle_B, Apr 2026
After reading the glowing reviews I opted for the 2 hour tour with Ben on our first night in Paris. Now this isn’t usually something I’d enjoy doing but I was away with my sister for a special birthday and I thought it would be a nice way of seeing various parts of Paris in a short amount of time. The car was beautiful and extremely comfy (wrap up warm if you go in the evening as the roof is open). Bens knowledge was excellent and he made the whole tour really interesting including a variety of points of interest including parts used in Emily In Paris which my sister was delighted to see. I enjoyed the tour that much that I would happily do it again if I return to Paris later this year.
Anke_J, Apr 2026
Really georgious Experience and a very comfortable way to discover Paris. Benjamin knows all the good and the hidden places. We can highly recommend it.
charlie_h, Apr 2026
What a great way to see the city. We typically try to do some type of overview tour at the beginning of trips when we go somewhere new. We have done big bus tours, but typically found that the private tours are far more informative and far better. The car was an absolute gem. Was an excellent condition and extremely well maintained. Dennis was extremely knowledgeable, a great driver, and gave a great deal of insight. The only thing I wish is that there had been an option for an even longer tour. We could’ve easily spent four hours with him. I 100% recommend this tour.
Chere_G, Apr 2026
Dov was a great guide and provided a great experience with lots of insightful information for our tour. The car was awesome and we felt like royalty when crowds would cheer us on during our tour. Thanks for sharing this experience! Many thanks!
kathie_m, Mar 2026
A relaxing way to take a break from all the walking. If it’s cool bring a small shawl for your legs.
Paul_L, Mar 2026
Our private tour of Paris with Ben was truly one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we met him, his warm, personable nature put us completely at ease. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history and culture, and he shared fascinating insights at every stop along the way.
Exploring Paris in his classic car made the experience even more special, and it added a unique charm and allowed us to cover so many iconic sights in just one afternoon. There’s simply no way we could have seen as much on our own, especially with the thoughtful route he planned and the stories he brought to life along the way.
Ben’s kindness, professionalism, and passion for what he does really stood out. If you’re looking for a memorable and efficient way to experience Paris, this tour is an absolute must. Excellent job all around!
Glenys_J, Nov 2025
Absolutely loved our trip with Benjamin! Best way to tour Paris and the car was amazing! Definitely a worthwhile experience! I highly recommend this experience. We were picked up at our Hotel and dropped back. Benjamin gave us lots of tips of great places to see and hidden gems of the city. We stopped at viewing sites for photos.
Katherine_M, Oct 2025
Benjamen was an excellent driver and tour director! He was very flexible regarding our pick up/drop off times and locations. He was also very informative about the sites and locations around Paris. We are looking forward to returning to Paris next year and booking Benjamen again!
Molly_S, Sep 2025
Ben was very knowledgable and friendly. Car was very cool and comfortable. Highly recommend this tour.
Jeanette_P, Sep 2025
Great tour of Paris in an open top classic 1970s Citroën car. Friendly, knowledgeable driver/tour guide Dove (unsure of spelling). Saw so much in 2 hours! Highly recommend!
Sheba_M, Sep 2025
We had the absolute pleasure of having Benjamin as our private tour guide in Paris, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. From the very beginning, he curated the tour perfectly to match our interests. I mentioned a few places we’d already seen and a couple we still wanted to visit, and Benjamin mapped out the most efficient route to make sure we saw everything—without ever feeling rushed.
He made thoughtful stops throughout the tour and even offered to take our photos, which was such a nice touch. But the real standout was Benjamin himself—his historical insights while driving through the city were both fascinating and delivered with a witty charm that truly brought the stories to life. It felt like we were seeing the city through the eyes of someone who not only knows it inside and out but genuinely enjoys sharing its history and character.
Also, a bonus: his car is stunning!
If you're considering a private tour of Paris, don't think twice—Benjamin is your guy. Highly recommend!
lennamaganda, Aug 2025
This was by far one of the most memorable experiences we had in Paris. Perfect for anyone wanting a cinematic way to see the city. Highly recommended!
Our guide “Benjamin” was incredibly charming, knowledgeable and made the whole experience feel personal and relaxed.
He shared fascinating stories and history at each landmark but also gave us time to soak in the view and take photos without ever feeling rushed.
Cruising the city of light in his beautiful Citroën DS while the sun dipped below the horizon was nothing short of magical!😊
Ronald_R, Jun 2025
Benjamin and his 1972 ope top Citroen provide a quick but informative introduction to Paris. In addition to seeing the main attractions Benjamin took us to a few stops not on the main roads- cafes, shops & very good sites overlooking Paris.
Mike_H, May 2025
If you want the real history of Paris then you have to book this tour! Benjamin was fantastic. Plenty of photo ops and an opportunity to go to places that a bus cannot go to! If I could give this 10 stars I would. And the car! Wow. An absolute classic.
Tom_S, May 2025
We enjoyed the guided tour and history provided by Benjamin. Benjamin is an excellent driver and we felt very safe. Some of the alleys we drove were very tight and I wouldn't want to have navigated them in a car half as big. We felt like royalty being driven in the vintage Citroen. Everyone took pictures of us as if we were personalities and they were paparazzi. We did not stop long at any place, but had plenty of time to take pictures. We told Benjamin up front where we wanted to be dropped off and he arranged the tour so we would end at that location. It was an excellent way to get a sense of Paris and the major areas in a short time - 2 hours - plus see some of the iconic sites. Doing this tour on our own would have taken all day using our own car or buses.
Stephanie_R, May 2025
A unique and great way to see Paris! We had so much fun listening to some of the history behind the monuments Benjamin drove us by. He made sure to give us the best tour possible, constantly thinking ahead about traffic and how to avoid it. Everywhere we went people were admiring the car and taking pictures. We would definitely do this tour again if we find ourselves back in Paris.
Melissa_J, May 2025
Fun experience! Soak in all the highlights from the comfort and style of an open-top antique Paris car. Our guide, Benjamin, was knowledgeable, kind, and humorous. Highly recommend!
