Latest reviews from our guests

Did a 4 hour hidden gems tour and our guide Hristo was amazing. We have been to Paris several times and have already done the big tourist places, in this tour we wanted to explore the neighborhoods that we hadn’t spent time in including Marais , the Latin Quarter and the Luxembourg Gardens. We moved along at a good clip and saw many hidden treasures, the depth of Hristo’s knowledge continued to amaze us. The nice thing about a private guide is you can stop and explore things that interest you. At the end of the four hours he showed us a non touristy place for lunch, which was delicious. It was a great day!

My guide Roffy was great. She made a comfortable itinerary to explore Paris. Her excitement to show someone the city that she loves made the time go by very quickly. I thought that 4 hours of walking (over 20k steps that day) would be too much but when I realized that we were done I felt like could just keep going. She customized the tour to my interests: local food, quiet bars, non tourist sections of the city, and we went to an amazing market. None of which I would have found on my own. And I have been coming to Paris for work for over 20 years. I highly recommend booking a tour with her for your first day in Paris so that you can use that information to enjoy the rest of your stay.
