Fantastic tour

Alex was a local so she was so knowledgeable and engaging. She took us all over the city of Paris walking and the metro. By doing this we now know how to use that system. We highly recommend her for this tour. Thank you for a great experience.

Paris in August.

Great company, excellent communication and direction to meeting point. Rudy was our Guide. He was upbeat, thoughtful, knowledgeable and really looked after us and kept us all engaged. Recommended this tour to see the most important sights of Paris. I would only say it would be nicer to and where the tour starts !

Wasted day in Paris

Jack_B, May 2025
Waste of time. Tour guide was nice but had no idea how to lead a tour. Only spoke to people directly beside her. Did not project her voice. Seemed overwhelmed especially when a second group joined ours. Pleasant but almost bored with her job.

Response from Host, May 2025

Hi Jack, We are very sorry to hear you felt underwhelmed with the tour. It was a particularly tricky day because of the 8th May celebrations. We had prepared for the 8th but weren’t fully aware that they were closing everything from the 7th afternoon as well. Which threw the guide. I will personally take this up with her. We always aim to give our best. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your evening in Paris.

Awesome Performance
