The description does not do this tour justice. Milan (our guide) was absolutely incredible. We really were able to see so many different parts of the city and learn about its history and culture through a perfect mix of taxis, Metro, and walking. Milan was well informed, enthusiastic, and a joy to spend the day with. When the day was over you feel disappointed that your time with him is done. We are so grateful for this experience.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Wow, thank you for such an incredibly generous review! Knowing that you felt disappointed when our day together ended is one of the most wonderful compliments I could receive. Thank you for your fantastic company and for taking the time to share this beautiful feedback. It was truly my pleasure spending the day with you all!
With gratitude, Milan.

Milan was top notch all around. He was well informed, had a folder with pictures handy when describing details and even an iPad for videos. We chose the addition of the van option which made it great. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Don't say no more! I'm blushing now.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It truly means a lot to hear that you appreciated the thoroughness of our tour experience.
I'm delighted that you found my visual materials helpful - I believe that having those pictures and videos on hand really brings the history and stories to life in a way that words alone sometimes can't. There's nothing quite like seeing how a place looked in the past while you're standing right there in the present!
I'm especially pleased that you chose the van option and found it worthwhile. The comfort and convenience of having our own transportation really does allow us to cover more ground and discover some hidden gems that might be harder to reach on foot. Plus, it gives us more time to chat and dive deeper into the stories behind each location.
Your recommendation means the world to me, and I'm so grateful you took the time to share your experience. It was truly my pleasure guiding you around Paris!
Warm regards,
Milan

Milan expertly guided us through the highlights of the city on foot, in taxi and Paris’ excellent public transport. Perfect for first time visitors to Paris to get an overview of the rich cultural landmarks of the city. Wear great walking shoes. Milan’s English is outstanding. I didn’t even realize Milan was also my tour guide in August 2023 until we met again. We were happy then and happy today.
Nicole_G, Apr 2025
Milan was amazing! My teen daughters and I enjoyed this tour so much. Milan was our favorite guide of the week in Paris. He has a fun, energetic personality and is very knowledgeable. His English is very clear. He also took great photos of all of us. We would definitely book with him again!

My husband and I had a lovely time on our tour with Milan! It was the perfect way for us to see some of the main sights on our first trip to Paris. Milan customized the tour to include some of the specific sights I mentioned I was interested in seeing, and he had wonderful insight into the history of Paris. He was even able to secure us a time slot to go inside Notre Dame without waiting in line. It was such a nice surprise (especially since I had been trying to get tickets for days unsuccessfully). In addition, he gave us some great recommendations on places to eat and other sights to see on the rest of our trip. He is also a wonderful photographer which is an added bonus. Since our tour was on NYE he gifted us a lovely bottle of champagne from a small vineyard. I would highly recommend any of Milan’s tours. I hope to be able enjoy one of this picnic tours the next time we are in Paris.

Milan was our guide and was exceptional! We had a full day private tour of Paris. The tour was wonderful. Milan is an expert on Paris history, culture and current events. He is fun and super passionate about this great city and shared with us sweet places and hidden gems. He also has a depth of knowledge that allowed him to focus in, in the moment, on things that particularly interested us. I will definitely book him on my next trip and highly recommend him.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Merci! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a genuine pleasure sharing both the city's rich history and its hidden treasures with my San Franciscan neighbors. I look forward to showing you even more of Paris' wonders on your next visit. I hope you’ll find the Blue House in SF ;-)
Thank you again for choosing me as your guide!
Bonne année!

Our guide Milan took us in a very intensive and wonderful trip around Paris with the help of public transportation. That help us, a duo of senior citizens to explore the city without being exhausted. We had visited some areas in a prior tour and Milan was able to customize the tour for us. We even got a nice surprise from him. We really enjoyed the tour. Highly recommended, will definitely tour with him again, if occasion arises
Response from Host, Dec 2024
I am so happy you enjoyed this whole tour. Yes, metro makes it easy and efficient. This is why I love to introduce people to this possibility when visiting Paris.
It will be my pleasure to see you again next time and simply share a simple Parisian sanswich ;-)
Happy Holidays!
Brian_D, Sep 2024
Our tour guide, Milan was wonderful and very knowledgeable! We learned so many things about Paris. He made our tour fun even though the weather was not great.
KENNETH_S, Jun 2024
We spent the entire day traversing the beautiful city of Paris and thoroughly enjoyed the day. The walking, taxis, and metro all added to the enjoyment of the well known sites of Paris. Milan knew all the short cuts and best ways to get from one to the other.
Sorin_C, Jun 2024
Great tour from start to finish! Milan is such a wonderful host, knowledgeable, and entertaining. We used the Metro and taxis to explore Paris and we've seen so many sites along the way! I highly recommend booking this tour.
RandyeKarmin, May 2024
We had the most wonderful day in Paris with Milan. He picked us up at our hotel and spent the perfect amount of time hitting each of the high points of central Paris. In addition to all the major sites, Milan took us to see hidden gems with fascinating history. He is personable and fun to be with. And he’s a great photographer! We will call on him again to guide us on our next trip to Paris! Thank you Milan!
Tri_N, Jan 2024
Absolutely love our recent trip to Paris. Milan, our Paris tour guide, was prompt, knowledgeable, and personable. Highly professional and attentive prior to, during and even after the tour. Our overall experience was excellent! Will use WITH LOVE FROM PARIS TOURS again for future trips and heartily recommend!! Thank you Milan for making our first trip to Paris a wonderful and unforgettable experience!
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Thank you so much, for your outstanding review, Tri! I'll be there for you next time you and Quynh come to France. Merci beaucoup!
Stella_T, Oct 2023
My family and I went on a trip to Paris in October, it being our first time. We spent the day with Milan, our personal tour guide, he was wonderful in showing us around all of the main highlights of the city. He showed us many locations with a private driver as well. Milan was very knowledgable of the history of Paris. We highly recommend doing this tour and having Milan as a tour guide. We had an amazing time! Thank you very much!

Merci beaucoup the Thomas Family!
It was a great pleasure to share this time with you. Also, the neighborhood where you stayed was a perfect location to be more in tune with the local vibe, to see the daily routine of the French.
I hope you enjoyed your whole vacation in Paris.
Maureen_S, Sep 2023
Milan was incredible. The experience was fun, educational and personal. I would highly recommend booking this trip. We saw more in a day with stops we never would have found on our own in a week
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Thank you Maureen and Joel for sharing a phenomenal time with me! Lots of fun and learning. I look forward to seeing you again on other trips, yes, outside of Paris. There is plenty more to discover :-)
Erin_P, Sep 2023
Our guide, Milan, was fabulous. He was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We would go on any tour with him again.
Louisa_M, Aug 2023
We had a fantastic day with Milan yesterday - we never would have seen so much of Paris in one day if it weren’t for Milan (and we never felt rushed). Milan was very accomodating and showed us the main sites as well as stopped for special surprises along the way. He was also very accomodating of my mother’s sore legs post a long flight. Milan was very knowledgeable about history and was able to answer all our questions and keep us entertained along the way! Merci Milan!
Richard_B, Aug 2023
Milan was a wonderful host for my family of four (kids ages 12 and 9) for our first full day in Paris. He met us at the hotel with a private driver (for an extra fee, to accommodate the five of us), with gifts for my girls. He was ver knowledgeable about the city, easily navigated around a triathlon occurring during the day, and was always attentive to when our kids were getting bored with the history and needed a little diversion. He took us to a lovely spot in Luxembourg Gardens and arranged for the kids to push sailboats across the pond for a bit, which of course my younger one said was the highlight of the trip. I would love to take another tour with Milan in the future!
Dianne_M, Aug 2023
Milan was an excellent guide very knowledgeable and friendly, made us feel at home, would recommend to anyone
Ashley_H, Jul 2023
Our day with Milan was the perfect way to experience the city. From starting at the outside portion of the Lourve for a history lesson to stopping into Shops at Gallery Layafette to take in a hidden view, all day was full but free form. When the kids started to have their attention wane, it was a stop for crepes or a playground in the Luxembourg Gardens to let them get out some energy and back on sightseeing. We would whole heartedly recommend Milan to anyone who wants to experience Paris from a locals point of view with the history, side stories, and culture he provides.
Teri_F, Jun 2023
Milan is a fabulous guide. He brought French history alive with special stories and information, including diagrams. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with him. He showed us the highlights and special places that are more private. Highly recommend!!
Phil_K, Jun 2023
This tour was great! Milan is a great guide.
The tour is very educational and you will learn about things in Paris you did not know existed. I would recommend doing this tour early in your trip to Paris. Once you are done, you will be very familiar with Paris, the highlights, some secrets and how to navigate the city. Then you can go back to what you want to see more of. You will not go into any of the museums on this tour but you will see and learn about them.
George_P, Apr 2023
Wow! What a great time we had with our guide, Milan. He showed us the city in a such an easy, informative way. He shared so many little details and was always prepared with illustrations, articles, even videos to help us understand more about each place we visited. Perfect English. Just a wonderful experience.
Bryan_C, Mar 2023
Milan is super professional, very knowledgeable, and an overall incredible human being. He gave us such a lovely day in Paris and helped me coordinate my engagement to the love of my life. I can honestly say that Milan is now a friend to us. Booking this tour is totally worth the money and you will be glad to you chose Milan. His itinerary allows you time to see the iconic parts of the city while also not feeling rushed. Have nothing but love and respect for the man!
AYA_C, Dec 2022
Milan our tour guide was the best! We asked to see hidden gems and that’s what we saw!!
We walked the streets of the Literary and philosophical history. Where Great thinkers and artist congregated. Luxembourg gardens, Pantheon, the life of Josephine Baker and her impact on the world up to today and we stood at the spot of the movie “Midnight in Paris” But most moving was the burial sight of a history of the Lafayette family, Napoleon and French history to it eliminate of the gUillotine in 1981. He brought it all to life. His knowledge was beyond what we’ve experienced!! And such a wonderful person. Thank you Milan for the most memorable day!!
Adriana_A, Nov 2022
We had a lovely day with Milan in Paris! He is very knowledgeable and was very patient with an extremely active 5 year old. We couldn’t have had a better experience! Worth every penny!!
Karen_B, Sep 2022
Milan, was the perfect guide for our first day in Paris. By private car our tour included the "must-see" sights and special hidden gems all with Milan's knowledgeable insights and charming perspective. He made sure we were not rushed and were having every opportunity to snap pictures or ask questions. My friends and I agreed that it was a delightful day, well worth the money paid and was a highlight of our stay in Paris.
Tracy_K, Sep 2022
We got Milan as a guide and he was excellent! He took us all around Paris and hit the highlights by taking taxis and walking - it was the perfect length of time and amount of walking! We enjoyed the tour and Milan!
Donald_P, Sep 2022
Milan was awesome. We are history buffs so learning Paris history was so cool. Milan tailored the tour to what we wanted to see of Paris and knew everything and more about Paris. The Latin Quarter was so cool. The tour was worth every penny. Milan loved sharing his city.
whols22, Sep 2022
Milan was an exceptional tour guide! Very knowledgable & hospitable. I would definitely recommend Milan to anyone wanting to see & learn more about Paris.
John_G, Aug 2022
Milan our guide met us at our hotel. He told us of the day ahead and what we would be visiting. We set off on foot and firstly came to the Eiffel Tower. We continued around Paris visiting some beautiful areas and being filled in on the history of the monuments and buildings by Milan. We also used taxis and the metropolitan during our day. Milan was a fantastic guide and we would highly recommend asking for him when booking. Our day finished back at our hotel at around 4pm. We thoroughly enjoyed our day out. Thank you very much Milan.
