Far and away an amazing time. Pascal was a great tour guide that took us to exactly where we wanted to go, and more. The service was stellar in terms of communication between Pascal and myself. There is a survey that you fill out after booking. Through that, and the emails back and forth with your tour guide, they help make magic happen. It was myself, my husband, and our daughter and her boyfriend, both in their twenties. I knew that I wanted to visit Montmartre and Le Marais. We booked a three hour tour, which was plenty of time to walk around and see everything. My husband is a fan of Emily in Paris, and I a fan of Amalie, so we walked around to see some of the local filming sites which was nice. Pascal was full of knowledge about both the current goings-on of the area but also the historical tidbits. He helped us navigate le Metro and was all around a great guy. We knew the kids would like Le Marais and he took us to the kilo shops (buy clothes by the kilo) where they went off and shopped. I recommend this service for the cost. I'm sure the guides have fun with it as well, because no two tours of theirs will ever be the same, they truly tailor it to you.

This was my first time in Paris. So It’s up to Pascul. He took me Montmartre for three hours. He knows a lot about the place where took the nice view of Paris. He almost always answered my questions. It will be memorable.

While I have been to Paris dozens of times, Hristo tailored a trip to the far end of the Canal St. Martin area that I had never seen. He is a charming, bright young man and I loved spending the morning with him. We went during the Olympics, so we made a stop in La Villette where many countries hosted villages. He quickly picked up on my interests in back street adventures. He also showed me areas where I might return with my grandchildren. I cannot recommend him highly enough and would hire him again in a heartbeat. Thanks Hristo for a memorable morning. I learned so many new things and had a blast

Sophia was wonderful! Very friendly and helpful, Went beyond what she had to do to make sure that we had all our expectations! This is our 4th visit to Paris. Sofia made us see Paris as we never did. The tour took us to beautiful places not known by tourists so we felt we enjoyed the town like locals do!”

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour or something different?

This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary..

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can I request specific places or types of stops?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?

Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
