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
