Latest reviews from our guests

We had a 4 hour walking tour. Our guide Elie was very knowledgeable, informative and had a lot of spirit. We went to sites we didn’t know about which was great to learn. We had so much fun walking thru many arrondissements exploring and learning about each neighborhood. Elie was great about taking our picture everywhere. Ask for ELIE when you book your tour.

Our private tour with Roffy was the perfect beginning to our Paris visit! She prepared an itinerary based on our interests, and then fine-tuned it through the day as she learned more about us. After meeting us at our hotel, she walked us through historic neighborhoods and showed us hidden, unadvertised gems as well as the must-see Paris icons. We popped in to little shops and secluded gardens that we might have overlooked otherwise. Very importantly, she paid attention to water breaks, rest stops in shady parks, and good bathrooms! She was consistently cheery and had just the right level of energy and enthusiasm. At the conclusion, she even emailed a list of recommended restaurants at several price points near our hotel, and they were exceptional. After spending the day with Roffy, we were confident enough to keep exploring on our own, so she made this entire vacation our best ever! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Pascal was a very knowledgeable guide. We learned so much history about Montmartre and its evolution over time. You could tell he had a great appreciation of its past. We moved at our own pace and were not rushed.
