Helle was an excellent guide. She tailored to exactly what we wanted, but also brought her expertise knowledge to our 7 hour walking day tour. We were thrilled to see all that we saw and her sparkling personality! Such a great tour guide and a great day in Paris thanks to Helle!
Duane_S, Mar 2026
This was a great tour. We selected the Louvre, Arc de Triomphe, and the Eiffel Tower. Our guide, Virginie was very friendly and knowledgeable.
Michael_B, Mar 2026
Best way to see the best parts of Paris. Our guide, Dominique, was able the plan a full day of Paris highlights and great local spots.
Andrew_S, Mar 2026
Helle was a great guide. She met us where we were staying to start the tour. She was very knowledgable and very adaptive to what our interests were. The best way to discover a city is to walk through it. It was a perfect tour.
Noelle_G, Mar 2026
Virginie was exceptional, our tour was so personalized and seeing Paris with a true local was perfect. 10/10!!
April_M, Mar 2026
It was amazing. Virginie was wonderful! She catered to what we wanted to see and helped us when the kids needed a snack. It was a great experience.
Brian_V, Feb 2026
Our tour and guide were phenomenal! Gerrit was very knowledgeable, outgoing, and really nice. Me and my wife really enjoyed his company. Gerrit was punctual and patient. Half day tour was perfect in the sense of significant walking and transit. I loved how he already had Métro passes ready for us and knew where to go. Definitely worth the money for a more private and intimate tour.
Ralph_C, Feb 2026
Max, our guide for the afternoon, could not have been more knowledgeable of the areas we visited. Our tour was well very planned. Most people would have cancelled due to the weather, we are so glad we didn’t.
Maryann_N, Jan 2026
We had a wonderful tour with Audrey. She was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. She taught us and showed us so many interesting sites of Paris
Randal_B, Jan 2026
Helle
She was an outstanding tour guide. She arrived on time at our hotel. She had reached out ahead of time to find out what our interest were and tailored our 3 1/2 hours to our interest..
She was extremely well organized. She was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed our time very much.
Toni_H, Jan 2026
Margot our guide was a lovely young girl who was very knowledgeable about the history of Paris and we saw things that we would not of seen and were not on our radar which was fabulous for us
Carey_R, Jan 2026
Garrett was an excellent guide! Very knowledgeable on Paris attractions and sights only known to locals. Accommodated our request for a coffee shop too! Enjoyed seeing pedestrian streets in Old Paris, St Germain, and Latin Quarter. Left us with a local lunch spot. Highly recommend!
Lisa_L, Jan 2026
We had a great day with our guide, Virginie, who willingly took our booking on Christmas Day, which we were so thankful for. She was super knowledgeable and had a great personality, keeping the day fun and interesting for us and our two teen boys. We walked all around central Paris and she took wonderful pictures for us and gave many facts that we appreciated. Highly recommend this company and booking specifically with Virginie!
Matt_S, Dec 2025
The tour was wonderful! Yasemin was excellent! Truly knowledgeable! Our travel plans we interrupted and we had to reschedule from a morning to afternoon tour and they worked with us! Can’t say enough positives!
Francisco_N, Dec 2025
We had an excellent full day tour of Paris with our lovely tour guide, Virginie. The tour was for our family of 5. She was very enthusiastic about showing us the wonderful city of Paris, and took us where we were most interested in visiting including a vegan shop! Thank you Virginie for a great introduction to Paris.
Elaine_P, Dec 2025
I thought we would be able to do/see more. I know it was 1/2 day but we didn’t feel we got a full experience.
Rebecca_G, Dec 2025
Amazing personalised experience. Saw the sites of Paris on foot....so much more than we could ever have expected 😊
ccator, Dec 2025
Great day with “V”! She was very knowledgeable and was happy to share her knowledge. A great day in Paris!
IRA, Nov 2025
Our guide was very nice and informative about the city. We highly recommend Virginia, she did a wonderful job.
Edgar_L, Nov 2025
Garrett was the perfect guide for our walking tour. He arrived at our hotel early to pick us up, and even brought us a birthday present. I requested a customized tour, and Garrett delivered. He shared the stories behind all the sites we visited and included the cultural, and the global significance of the location. He did his research, was very patient, and aware of us needing breaks, or more time at specific sites. He had his iPad with him, so he shared images that illustrated details at each location for added context. If you are looking for a good communicator, with a worldly view, and an all around good person, ask for Garrett. (He also speaks several languages, you can’t go wrong)
Regina_B, Nov 2025
It is very personalized. You are able to customize your own site seeing spots. And the travel guide will accommodate your wishes.
Allie_G, Nov 2025
This was a must do if you don't have much time in Paris, but want to see all the sites. Max was a great guide as he personalized the tour based on things we had not seen yet and knew all the history on each site. He even offered recommendations on things to do around the city. I highly recommend booking this!
Michelle_B, Nov 2025
We had an absolutely fantastic experience on our private walking tour with Max! From the very beginning, communication was smooth and professional, and everything went perfectly according to plan. Max greeted my mom and I warmly and immediately made us feel comfortable — his passion for the city and its history was contagious.
Throughout the tour, Max shared fascinating stories and insights that really brought the sights to life. He struck the perfect balance between history, culture, and fun local anecdotes, tailoring the tour to our interests and pace. We never felt rushed, and he even showed us some hidden gems we never would have found on our own.
What really stood out was how personable and knowledgeable Max is — you can tell he truly loves what he does. We left the tour feeling like we’d explored the city with a friend rather than a guide.
We highly recommend booking this experience through Viator. If you want a memorable, informative, and enjoyable way to discover the city, ask for Max — he’s the best!
Susan_C, Nov 2025
Best day ever! Nicole was so knowledgeable, fun, and flexible. She taught us so much about the city and have us tidbits of knowledge we would never have gotten on our own. We were only in Paris for a couple days but our time with her made us feel like we really experienced the feel of the city. Thank you Nicole!
Melissa_V, Nov 2025
Our private guide Floriane was excellent and more!! She took us every place we wanted to see and had so much knowledge and history that helped us understand Paris so much! This is a must if your in Paris for short time and want to see as much as you can.
Patrice_C, Nov 2025
That they will see things, buildings, churches, latin quster, etc. that you never knew were in Paris
Carol_H, Nov 2025
Lots of walking, be prepared for the weather like umbrellas or raincoats. It was an amazing tour and we very much enjoyed the day. Our guide Flo, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history and city!
Kate_F, Oct 2025
We had a fun and informative tour of Paris. Our guide Max was sweet, kind and super knowledgeable. He guided us through the metro to the Louvre, Notre Dame, and L’Arc d’ Triumph
Raphael_C, Oct 2025
Our guide Margot was nice but introverted. She spoke perfect English so that was nice. But the tour was not what I expected. I asked to tour the Notre Dame and Saint Germain areas to see beautiful street scenes that were typically Parisien, for nice photos. Alas that didn’t happen. We waited in line to enter Notre Dame cathedral, which I didn’t expect to do and took 45 minutes, about 1/4 of the tour. We walked through Luxembourg Gardens which were nice, but then through Latin Quarter which didn’t have any nice scenery. She then dropped us off in the Saint Germain without really seeing any of it. I gave Margot a 40€ tip out of habit as an American, but really was somewhat disappointed with the lack of photo opportunities for a $500+ excursion. Would not repeat, unfortunately.
