Helena is incredibly knowledgable and friendly. She knows EXACTLY where to go to see all of the highlights of Paris. I use mobility scooter, and Helena made sure I was able to take the scooter along, and to be able to use it to explore the sights. I feel that I have made a lifelong friend in Helena! The driver was excellent as well. DON'T MISS THIS EXPERIENCE!

Helene was wonderful. She provided a personalized tour experience, and knows the city inside and out. I had a great time and got to burn some calories at the same time. Would recommend!

Oooohhh La La! Magnifique experience!!!

Vincent_V, Dec 2025
Ooohh La La!!! What an amazing experience. This was a great way to see Paris on foot. Our guide Helena was sooo knowledgeable! She knew all the ins and outs of the city - from culture, food, politics, and Parisian lifestyle! She went on our pace. She knows where to take photos! She made sure we were comfortable each time! We never felt rushed. In fact she went over time and wanted to keep on going! Kudos to Helena for a great French parisien tour experience!!! Highly recommended!

William_H, Nov 2025
Helena was on time and very friendly! She had good knowledge of the area and listened to our wishes and desires of what to see and what to do. She gave us a good overview of what we wanted to see in Paris in a short amount of time. Our driver, AMIR was an excellent driver and got us through very tight traffic jams in some of the city squares and roundabouts. Thank you very much.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you so much William !! 😊 Amir and I, where delighted to take you and Helen with us for the Paris experience. I will let Amir know about your gratification. I tried to make my best.

Krystn_D, Jan 2025
What a great day! Helena was so fun and nice. We walked all around Paris and she pointed out the highlights. We chatted and had good laughs. Stopped for snacks and she just made sure we had a great day. It was a great introduction to Paris. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys walking, and if you don’t, I think she even has drivers to hire. What a great day :)

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Soft spoken guide

Laura_W, Nov 2024
Our guide was very sweet, but we were confused about the meeting point and she had no sign or any way to identify her. Also, she was soft spoken and often spoke facing away from us so difficult to understand. The itinerary was good, but a little too much time around the Eiffel Tower for our taste.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Soft spoken ? Lol ! This is the first time I hear that .. but I will consider .. Sad to hear you are not glad with my performance… I don’t understand why you speak about the meeting point as I don’t had cloud where you were..and none answer at my several messages!

Guide NOT fluent in English, frustrating to understand

Vivian_S, Jan 2024
The route was good but the guide was NOT a proficient English speaker (and also not a native of France) so we were only able to understand about 40% of the tour. Just to be as clear as possible, both my husband and I are fluent in other languages and able to understand most of the French people we encountered with little difficulty. This tour advertised an English speaking guide; I expected an accent, not someone for whom we needed to guess what she meant by the words "stained" and "human" among other words. Also, and most unsettling, she wanted to connect with us via WhatsApp instead of messaging through Viator, very unprofessional. To her credit, Helena tried her best but this was not the caliber of tour for which I paid. Very disappointing, wish I had used GetYourGuide instead... Lesson learned.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hello Vivian, sorry for hear that you are disappointed with my performance… My English is « fluently » indeed but I have a« French » accent and I think this was difficult for you. I accept that I have to progress and Every day I work for improve that. Sorry again. Accents for me sometimes are difficult as I can understand anglophone films. Whenever, you could speak to me in another language, as you say, you are bilingual, I speak 4 … Right, I write “leopard stain” but I don’t have any problems with meanings of “human” word… I am “French” indeed, my identity card this is a french card. I have foreign origines like you and nearly every Parisien citizen. I am a specialist of Paris with 20 years of experience in the tourism in Paris and I also accompanied foreign people. About whatsApp, suppliers need to communicate through, due to the connection and internet issues, that have nothing to do with professionalism. You paid me 100€/person/half a day. This is nothing for a parisien guide. Yes, go getyourguide the next time, they contract me times to times and take the double of my price to the clients with very touristic collectif tours. But may be they fit you better than me, I assume. You try to have your money back after the tour, this was not very nice. Thank you for this review evaluation but I think I deserved better. Helena - Your exceptional guide.

Wonderful tour in Paris!

Sveena_S, Jan 2024
Helena was absolutely lovely! I was on my first international solo trip and only had one day to explore Paris! She made my visit better than I could have hoped for - we visited all the iconic landmarks and she provided so much history/context. She also introduced me to some local French markets where we treated ourselves to coffee, macaroons, and eclairs! It was perfect. She provided so many recommendations for my next trip to Paris and helped me find my way back to the Gare Du Nord as well. Thank you Helena for everything! If you are looking for a tour guide with warm hospitality and a wonderful day altogether, please book her - you won't regret it!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you so much Sveena 😊 You are wonderful! Please if you need something from me don’t hesitate and you won’t be alone in Paris if you return. I will be delighted to meet you again, even this is not for a tour … Be happy Kiss 😘 Helena

Best private tour!

Rima_C, Nov 2023
I recently took a tour with Helena. If you are looking for a fully customized tour, look no further. She will take you to places which big tours will not. She was very patient and knowledgable. It was a great experience and will definitely take her tour again next time when I am in Paris.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you very much Rima. I also be delighted to take you for another tour or experience at the heart of Paris. Hugs ! Helena 😊

Toshiro_Y, Sep 2023
My guide Helèna is a very experienced professional guide. She is a native parisienne having a lot of knowledge about architectures, historical events, cultural details about all of the historical/cultural places we visited. I would recommend her as the guide to learn the city of Paris for everyone, even for the persons who have visited this city multiple times in the past.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you so much Toshiro for your review. I wish you a lot of happiness for 2024. Don’t hesitate if you need something from Paris Best regards and hugs 🤗 Helena
