Best tour of Paris!

Karen_T, Mar 2026
Ben met us at the meeting location and drove us around Paris in his vintage car and gave us a wonderful history of the city of Paris. I would highly recommend this tour! Ben is amazing!!

Tour by night paris

Louise_W, Mar 2026
Benjamin was so friendly. The tour by night was magical and Benjamin knew all the little spots to take amazing photos. He was really knowledgeable. A fabulous guide and lovely person .Thanks so much.

Iconic vehicle, distinctive experience

Scott_H, Jan 2025
The experience of a ride around Paris in this iconic French automobile is not to be missed, and it was a highlight of this trip. To see the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and more through an open top—especially at night—is a unique experience. Benjamin is a fantastic guide, giving us information about the city that we hadn’t heard before. I would highly recommend this as part of any visit to the city.

So much fun!

Marci_L, Oct 2024
Our guide was so friendly. The car was comfortable and beautiful and very well maintained. Also a great photographer. We had a wonderful evening and he was kind enough to stop us directly at our restaurant. It was a great ride!

Hi Marci, thanks a lot for your kind review

Excellent tour which is truly memorable

Efy_K, Sep 2024
Wonderful and engaging experience arranged by our driver and host Benjamin, who was simply terrific. The classic car was a superb way to be transported through Paris with an insightful and truly charming host. Benjamin was in contact prior to the tour and ensured we were well informed on arrangements and delivered a truly memorable experience for us. Highly recommend this tour with Benjamin!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

HI Efy, was really nice to meet you. Thanks you very much for your review

Class guide, class car

Martin_M, Sep 2024
Benjamin is as fun and classy as his sports car. We had a blast taking a late night cruise around Paris after dark. Our host was a great mix of historical detail and charming engagement in a luxe car that is even cooler than the pictures. Couldn’t recommend more highly—and worth every cent.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hi Martin, thanks a lot for your good review ! Was very nice to meet you ! :)

Fun car, great guide, beautiful city!

Kathleen_S, Sep 2024
The car is outstanding and such a treat! The open roof allowed us to see the taller monuments and enjoy the fresh night air, the seats were behind comfortable too. Benjamin did a great job showing us the city and was engaging and fun with the historical stories for each monument or neighborhood. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hi Kathleen! Thanks you very much for your reviews! Was a pleasure to do this tour with you guys

Worth it. Great find

Jonathan_D, Jun 2024
Exceeded expectations. Perfect tour to do same day of arrival to get an idea of where things are and the history behind the biggest stuff. Guide was quick to adapt to Paris’s modified Olympic roads circuit, and we had a great time. Absolutely would do again.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hi Jonathan, it was a pleasure to do this tour with you! Thanks a lot

Relaxing and Informative Tour

April_D, Jun 2024
Benjamin was our guide and he was fantastic! He shared interesting stories and facts and the tour flew by! The car was super comfy and a relaxing way to get around Paris and see the sights. Benjamin did an excellent job of adjusting the route and making accommodations due to detours with the Olympic preparations underway.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hi April, Im glad you spent a good time. Thanks you very much

Lovely intro to City of Lights!

Sandra_C, May 2024
Benjamin gave us a lot of historical background. He was very charming and responded to all our tour requests. We would definitely recommend the tour: we loved it as a kick-off to our trip. It was great having someone else navigate the Paris traffic! Also, the car was cool. My only suggestion is that the Viator paperwork be more specific. We could not find the specific address. We called the office, and a lady told us to meet at the entrance to the Tuileries Gardens. However, the gardens were totally blocked off by the stands set up for the Olympics. Benjamin responded to our call and gave us a specific address. It would be easier if Viator provided more specific info up front. Luckily, we recognized the vintage car right away.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hi Sandra, thanks a lot for your review ! Im glad you spent a good time

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thanks you very much, it was really nice to meet you

Ok tour to see major sites -- better with less than 4 people on a cool day.

Steven_S, Jun 2023
Benjamin the driver was very friendly and accommodated us showing up late which was wonderful. The car is fantastic. The tour however was not ideal for four people. It was loud and hot in the car and difficult to understand what the guide was sharing with us. We did see some major sites which was nice.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Hi Steven, Its true that was a very hot summer day. The car doesnt have AC, its unfortunately a part of the vintage 1972 Citroen DS ! All the best

Unique ride and site seeing ob paris

Betty_G, Jun 2023
Had a great time. Benjamin took time to give us the history of each place and a place for us to eat dinner after the tour. Was a comfortable ride for a family of four.

A must do early in your visit!

Stevie_O, Apr 2023
Benjamin was amazing! He gave us so much background information on not only the history of the area, but also on how the French perceive historical figures and their iconic landmarks. The car was comfortable and we got to the perfect spot for pictures in front of the Eiffel Tower at night. Plus, afterwards, he texted us a bunch of recommendations for bars and restaurants!

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Worth it in the evening

John_P, Oct 2022
Benjamin is the driver and owner of the classic car. He was very polite and a great tour guide of the city. He is knowledgeable and knows how to drive a column shift like a pro! The car's restoration is nice and comfortable—a great way to see the city in the evening without the hassle of driving. Thank you for a great experience.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thanks you very much for your review !

Benjamin is Excellent!

Mark_F, Sep 2022
Benjamin was an excellent guide and took us to the best locations at the best time of the night. We learned a lot about the history and politics of France, too. I think the best thing was that we never felt rushed and he was willing to do whatever and suggest things we hadn't thought of or didn't know about.

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Hello, thanks you for you great review ! I hope to see you again :)

Must do.

Shreyansh_J, Jul 2022

Paseo romántico de noche en París a bordo de un Citroen

Juan_S, Oct 2022
Muy romántico y especial pasear en los asientos traseros de un icónico Citroen antiguo con techo panorámico apreciando los mejores lugares de París con Benjamín al volante, relatando la información de cada lugar visitado, y dando la flexibilidad del recorrido. Muy buenas fotos! Nuestro conductor muy agradable, prudente, carismático y con manejo del español y de excelente disposición.
