Paris interpreted by a Parisian

Gelareh_A, Dec 2025

Benoit was so knowledgeable about Paris both historically and in the present. In addition to giving us a thoroughly delightful tour he offered us wonderful restaurant recommendations that greatly enhanced our stay. We are frequent visitors to Paris, but feel we know it better now thanks to the time we spent with one of its most engaged inhabitants.

Bonjour, Thanks a lot for your glowing review. We are so glad you enjoyed our French Revolution and Conciergerie Tour with Benoit. Let us know when you come back to Paris! Best wishes, Fat Cat Tours

Our tour was amazing. Our tour guide William was a lot of fun, friendly and very knowledgeable. Great experience! We had a blast. I would recommend and ask for William.

Wonderful Tour

Francesca_P, Jul 2025

My husband and I appreciated this in-depth tour that delighted and surprised us both. Do not pass this tour up- ours ended up being more of a private tour because no one else booked it- which made it much more intimate and fun. A major thank you to our guide who waited for us patiently after we ran into issues with our credit card and train passes. Also- our guide had a recommendations list-and we visited one of the restaurants...and it was great!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Bonjour! A big thank-you for your lovely review, it really means the world to us! We hope to have the chance to have you soon again on one of our tours in Paris! Warmly, Fat Cat Tours

Surprising experience!

Fabulous unexpected experience!! This was a fantastic walking tour where our two teenagers were enthralled from the beginning. Adam was fantastic. Highly recommend.
