Truly a great experience. We only had one day in Paris and our guide, Hristo, was fabulous. Before we arrived he communicated with us via email and proposed different itineraries based on what we wanted to see. He met us at the train station took us on our planned itinerary telling us the history and stories behind the sights and added a few surprises that were delightful. At the end he delivered us back to the station safely. It was a fabulous experience that I highly recommend.

If you want to experience Paris through the eyes of someone who truly loves the city, cherishes its history, and is proud to share her Parisian heritage, book a tour with Jill. She is a wonderful person, a beautiful lady, and an incredibly knowledgeable guide. We spent six unforgettable hours with her as she walked us through the real history of the city, introduced us to hidden gems, and even treated us to amazing desserts (I went back the next day for more!). Jill also took lovely photos of us, which we will treasure. She is so sweet, kind, and passionate — we are grateful to have met her. I hope one day she visits us in America so we can show her what we love. Many thanks, Jill!

Got it! Here’s a shorter, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pascal was an outstanding guide! He spoke excellent English, was full of knowledge, and made exploring Paris such a joy. We visited Montmartre, the Louvre, Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, and plenty of hidden gems off the tourist track. He even helped us navigate the subway and bus like locals. Lunch with Chablis was a highlight, and Pascal went above and beyond — even saving me from pickpockets on the metro! We can’t recommend him highly enough- if you are travelling to Paris make sure you ask for Pascal.

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 adjust the plan on the day?

Absolutely. Your host can adjust the itinerary on the day based on your pace, energy, or any new ideas you have. It’s a flexible experience from start to finish.

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.

What kind of stories and insights will my host share?

Each host has their own personal relationship with the city. You'll experience the city through their eyes—hearing stories about places they love, discovering hidden gems, and learning what makes their city special in a way that goes beyond a typical tour.

How much walking is involved?

This depends on the experience, but your host can adjust the pace to suit your comfort level.

Is this experience physically demanding?

We can tailor the experience to be as active or relaxed as you like—just let us know what suits you best!

Can we explore outside the main city?

Yes! If you’re interested in day trips or exploring beyond the city, let us know in the post-booking questionnaire, and your host will design an itinerary that takes you to incredible places off the usual tourist path.

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.
