My reviews

Jill was an amazing tour guide! We only had one day in Paris and wanted to get an overview of Paris life. She gave us a wonderful overview of the history of Paris during our four hour tour. She was very kind and friendly and supportive. When we discovered we had been scammed with one of our credit cards, she went above and beyond to make sure that we felt secure and comfortable for the rest of our trip in Paris. She also secured train tickets for us and took us to the Eiffel Tower. She was very generous with her time and expertise, and we highly recommend her!

Jill was an amazing tour guide. She was full of knowledge re: the history of Paris and was very kind and accommodating. She was a an excellent communicator and was flexible in our tour, making sure we saw what we were most interested in. She went above and beyond when we discovered we’d been scammed by an online crook and spent extra time with us to make sure we were ok. We highly recommend any traveler to Paris to book a tour with Jill. She was kind, fun and extremely informative!

Our guide Jill arrived a couple minutes early at our hotel and we were able to tailor our 4 hour tour to our interests. Friendly and clearly very knowledgeable of Paris history, architecture, politics, places to dine, and interesting places off the beaten path. We were so happy we did this tour our first morning in Paris. It gave us a familiarity with the city we would have never found on our own.
