We learned so much from Floriane! She was the best guide! We toured both banks, the Notre Dame Cathedral and the quant streets of the left bank. Floraine and her team went above and beyond to make sure our tour was perfect.
Erin_A, Jul 2026
I am convinced there is no better way to experience a city with a personal tour guide. Floriane was simply fantastic! She met our family at Gard du Nord, after a 6:00 am train ride on the Eurostar from London. Kind, welcoming and armed with a wealth of knowledge, we discovered Paris and experienced an abundance of culture within a few hours. Our three children loved the entire experience, complete with authentic French crêpes. Everything in Paris is difficult to be seen in one day, but we certainly made the most of it. I would highly recommend this tour and hope you will be fortunate enough to experience it with Floriane.

Dominic was excellent. He tailored the tour to exactly what we wanted to see and offered a great experience on our first day in Paris! Thank you Dominic!! We enjoyed our time with you!
Josh_L, Jul 2026
We had the pleasure to have Floriane “Flo” as our guide today. From the very beginning we knew we were fortunate to have her. We did a half day tour and it encompassed so much. As it was our first time in Paris, we wanted a general overview of many of the key historical sites or museums. I can’t even list all of the sites she taught us about because we saw so much. We had added focus on the Louvre and Notre Dame cathedral. We were amazed at Flo’s knowledge. She is the most educated &!progressional guide I have ever had. She kept our 11 year engaged as well as our teenagers. Her crescent & crepe recommendations were incredible as well. If you get a chance to have a private tour, Floriane is the guide you want.
Rena_S, Jul 2026
Great tour of Paris. Virginie was awesome and SuSu was an exceptional driver! Highly recommend both!
Maria_R, Jul 2026
We learned a lot about Paris from Dominique and it was a wonderful experience. Lots of walking and we covered so much in 4 hours!
Gabriella_G, Jul 2026
We had a wonderful time on our full day tour with Virginie!! She was extremely knowledgeable, kind and accommodating. We truly enjoyed our time despite the heat 🥵
Melissa_P, Jul 2026
We loved our tour! Mattheiu was a wonderful guide, he had immense knowledge and great stories to entertain the entire family.
Susan_B, Jul 2026
Our tour guide was excellent, his name is Max. The only issue was the extreme heat. Max was very informative and knowledgeable about the history.
Richard_R, Jul 2026
The day was set up very well and Yasemin, our guide, was superb. Her knowledge about Paris was excellent, she was excellent with our grandson, great company and generally fabulous.
Donald_V, Jul 2026
Audrey was simply fantastic and made the experience very memorable. She was kind efficient and extremely knowledgeable about all the sights she showed us. She also recommended amazing places for us to try and when we went back
On our end they were simply delicious. I highly recommend asking for Audrey by name and she was truly a pleasure to be around.
Alva_A, Jul 2026
Our experience focused on Sacre Coeur, Montmatre and The Latin Quarter. It was a WONDERFUL 3.5 hours. Our guide, Maryam, was extremely knowledgeable and really loves the history of Paris. Her bubbly personality and endless energy made our experience absolutely perfect. If you are trying to experience Paris is a day or two, this is the way.
Terry_E, Jun 2026
Mathiue was a very informative personal tour guide. Highly recommend this as you can tailor your experience based off his expertise
Marna_T, Jun 2026
Our guide, Yasemin, met us at our appointed spot near the Petit Palais, and after showing us some of the sights in that area, took us on the Metro to Montmartre. She had a wealth of information about the many artists and writers who have lived and worked there, and took us through many beautiful cobbled streets. We saw the Moulin Rouge, and the outside of Sacré-Cœur basilica, but the line was too long for us to get inside without using most of our our time. We stopped for refreshments (and bathroom break) at a small bistro, then went to see the beautifully-restored Nortre Dame. The lines there moved quickly, so we were able to see inside and out -- well worth a visit! Prior to the excursion, the company contacted us to get our wish list for what to see, and Yasemin covered as much of that (and more) as was possible during the short time available.
Yasemin was friendly, funny, extremely knowledgeable, flexible, and a complete delight -- highly recommended!
Darlene_S, Jun 2026
Totally customized to us. Got great history and information. We were able to decide if we wanted to wait in the unusual heat wave or alter to something better for us.
We got to know our great guide Garrett.
William_S, Jun 2026
Guide Mathieu was perfect. Great person, guide and very nice and knowledgeable. Very accommodating to what we wanted to see and do. Highly recommend Mathieu to anybody.
David_H, Jun 2026
Our 3-generational family of 5 spent a wonderful day with our personal guide, Helle. She worked with us to modify our full-day walking tour to a walking and driving tour of Paris and turned a potential disappointment into a sensational day.
Tara_E, Jun 2026
Our guide was amazing! Definitely the highlight of our trip! She was funny and clever and very knowledgeable of her city. She also helped guide us on how to use the metro system and app so we were able to ride the metro with confidence for the remainder of our trip in Paris.
Highly recommend!
Elaine_C, Jun 2026
Great time with tour guide Flo and driver Sammy. So informative and took us to best sights with ease and comfort.
Marguerite_K, Jun 2026
Because we’ve been to Paris and had seen the main sites, this was a day of exploring neighborhoods and some less familiar sites of the city.
Olivier was our local guide and pleasant, knowledgeable companion for our walking tour.
Kim_K, Jun 2026
Virginie was amazing. She completely customized our tour experience to what we were interested in seeing and even took the time to take us into a couple of lovely local shops and bistros that we would have never found on our own. I would highly recommend this tour and also Virginie as a guide!
Avi_G, Jun 2026
Perfect day in Paris - Margaux is a fantastic tour guide. She customized our day based on our location and we saw a ton. She was wonderful with my 12-year-old when the heat and walking got a little overwhelming — perfectly timed ice cream stops, lol. My daughter said it was the best day ever and she misses Margaux now that it’s over. This felt less like a formal tour and more like spending a fun day in Paris with a local friend - so great. Book this!
Doug_S, Jun 2026
Dominique took the time to adapt the tour on the go. We saw what we desired and a little more. It was the perfect introduction to Paris.
Donna_P, Jun 2026
Our guide Mathieu was wonderful! He was very friendly, knowledgeable and well prepared. We scheduled a 1/2 day tour of Montmartre and on the way, explored the area we had not covered on a previous day’s walking tour. Mathieu wove the history of the city, its people, artists, architecture and culture seamlessly throughout our tour. In addition he took several pictures of us that are some of our favorites of our trip. We learned so many details about the area and in such a personal way. We cannot recommend the tour and Mathieu especially, enough!
Andres_R, Jun 2026
Our tour guide Virginie was sharp on time waiting for us, and she did an incredible experience. Her flexibility and knowledge of every single corner we were was amazing. She asked first what we wanted to do, and we have an idea. She turned the day into a real amazing experience.
We are glad that she was our guide and we will do the tour again with her hands down.
Robin_P, Jun 2026
Perfect way to feel like a local while touring the famous sights. We customized our tour and learned about the history and culture and we also were able to tour quaint neighborhoods.
JOAN_R, Jun 2026
Such a great way to see as much as possible in a relatively short period of time. Our guide Marx was fun, knowledgeable and very accommodating.
James_W, Jun 2026
Abbey was very good. Very passionate about her subjects covered and very knowledgeable. Enjoyed the tour even though it was raining a lot. Would recommend her to others for sure.
Dorothy_W, May 2026
Our guide, Hella was wonderful! Her knowledge and expertise amazed us! She could answer every question and made it very interesting and fun!
Alex_M, May 2026
Maryem structured our tour perfectly to fill 3.5 hours in the afternoon of our first day. She was very knowledgeable and provided the right amount of information to keep everyone engaged. Very good experience!
