Our tour guide was amazing. He knew all the spots to hit and had great insights since he’s lived in the city for 67 years. Tour ended up being private. 5 out 5 stars.

I had a private tour with Eillin and she was absolutely wonderful. When we met, Eillin asked me what my interests were and gauged how much I knew about Lyon. I am a big foodie and not the biggest history buff, and Eillin tailored my entire tour around what I was interested in. She was extremely knowledgeable and kind, and I would 100000% recommend this tour to future clients in Lyon.

We felt so lucky to have Guadry be pit guide on our first day in Paris. His knowledge and love for the city is exceptional! He showed us so much and gave us a lot of historical and interesting information about what we saw. His tour of the Montmarte area was amazing! He also was so mindful of what we wanted to see and flexible if we wanted to add on to see anything else. Anyone taking this tour would be well guided in Paris if you have Guadry showing you around!

Your FAQs

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.
