Could have been better

Marline_M, Oct 2025
In this instance the Guide asked what we wanted to see and so we told her the ‘tourist’ sites since this our first trip to Paris…and the sites we actually wanted to see…she said too far given our tour was only 2 hours. Additionally English was not the Guide’s first language so was a struggle to understand what she was saying.

Our guide Juliette was...

Our guide Juliette was very pleasant to engage with, very kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. It was a wonderful experience!

Thank you for your feedback, much appreciated!

A waste of money

Glen_C, Aug 2025
The guide was only interested in discussing his main business of running an AirBNB. Literally had to ask him questions when passing landmarks and he clearly did not have knowledge one would expect when paying for a private tour.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

We don't appreciate the lies and exaggerations in your review. The guide just mentioned his Airbnb business briefly. We understand you wanted a refund and a free tour, but we have rejected this. Of course, this is part of the reason why you got angry and wrote a bad review. Your bad review and your lies were part of your strategy to pressure us into refunding you. Just because you did not like the service, this is not a reason for a refund. In Europe, it does not work like that. You can try these things in your own country USA. You completed the whole length of the tour and even gave the guide 70 EUR tips, which is generous and certainly not something you give if the tour is bad. Regarding the knowledge of the guide: I recommend you read the tour description before you book something. It is clearly written that this is not a tour with a professional tour guide. But you expected a professional tour guide. The price of this tour is very cheap, so it is not fair to complain that the service was not like a professional tour guide. In fact, this guide is one of our best and he has received countless 5-star reviews on various platforms. This is the first time we have received a bad review for him. We can only provide a service according to the tour description. We can't provide a professional tour guide because you expect one. So next time, please read properly before you pay.
