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.

Fabulous way to end a trip to Paris.

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.

Awesome tour!

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!

Best way to see Paris!

Benjamen's Beautiful Citroen!

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!

Great Scenic Tour

10/10 – A Perfect Paris Tour with Benjamin

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!

Enchanting sunset tour of Paris in a French vintage car

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!😊

None Better - Benjamin & his 1972 Open Top Citroen

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.

Fantastic! Book this tour! You will not regret it!

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.

Short but sweet tour of Paris sites

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.

A unique and great way to...

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.

Unique way to see the city!

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!

Excellent tour with amazing guide

Tamara_C, Mar 2025
Benjamin was and excellent, informative, and entertaining! We came to Paris for my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary and booked a tour to see more of the city than we could see by foot in the short time we had. Benjamin did an amazing job showing us so many sights and giving us so much history and insights into the city and monuments! Highly recommend taking a tour with Benjamin!

Epic ride in Paris!! THIS car is a Star

Gina_Y, Nov 2024
A wonderful few hour tour with Benjamin the owner/operator of this iconic vehicle! Saw so many highlights of Paris with historical explanation. His English is spot on. Took us to many unique places to catch wonderful views. But the gorgeous car was such an experience in itself!! Pristine condition. Open roof from front to back seats, so photos were easy to get. People stopped, stared, & smiled as we went past. A ride to remember in every way!

Wonderful fall morning in Paris

Katherine_C, Oct 2024
We had a wonderful morning exploring Paris with Benjamin! We were able to cover all of the major Parisian sights, including the Grape Harvest Festival in Montmartre. Benjamin provided us with great information about the history Paris. Driving around in this beautiful vehicle has been a trip highlight. I highly recommend this tour and will be recommending it to all my family and friends traveling to Paris.

Excellent Guide through Paris

Lisa_R, Oct 2024
Benjamin was an excellent host and guide through the beautiful streets of Paris! There were three of us (women) and we fit comfortably in his amazing and gorgeous vintage car; everyone stared and even photographed the car when we weren't moving. His English was excellent, he knew so much history of the city, we loved learning new bits of information. We felt very safe and had a chance to hop out of the car for photos as well. He provided bottled water and was very patient as we asked many questions. It was a fantastic trip through the city we won't forget, thanks to Benjamin!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hi Lisa, thanks a lot for your nice review. It was really nice to meet you. All the best

Classy way to see Paris

Jennifer_M, Jul 2024
What an amazing experience! Touring Paris in a classic 1972 Citroen. Benjamin was an incredible guide and knew a tremendous amount of history regarding the areas we visited. He allowed us time to get out and explore some areas of interest further and took us to THE BEST secret location for pictures with the Eiffel Tower. The car was comfortable and got a lot of looks and compliments as we drive around. Highly recommend getting a lay of the land in Paris in style with Benjamin at the helm.

Hi Jennifer! Thanks you very much for your review! Was a pleasure to do this tour with you

A Magical Ride through Paris

NIURKA_G, Jul 2024
This was our first time in Paris and this was the perfect tour to get familiar with such a big and beautiful city . Our original driver Benjamin was unable to give us our tour and was so responsible that he got us a replacement (Alain). Alain was kind and sweet . He was knowledgeable and gave us so much information about the buildings and monuments in Paris . He allowed us to get down and take pictures of the landmarks we wanted to . He gave us the perfect overview of Paris . We absolutely loved our time on the tour . The car was so cute and cozy. We really enjoyed learning about Paris with a true local . I highly recommend this if you’re in Paris !
