Welly was an outstanding guide - knowledgeable, personable and accommodating. Our five hours went by very quickly, and we could have kept going!

Paolo was an excellent guide! Our large family 8 had such a wonderful time! The fact that it was frigidly cold didn't even matter! 😆 My husband and I have been to Paris once before, but the rest of the family had not. He is so knowledgeable about so much history and architecture of every building in Paris, he made every step a learning and exciting experience. I continually said, "I never knew that!" He was great with the kids- 10, 15 and 17, and encouraged questions of all types! We discussed history, current culture and daily life in Paris, and received the best recommendations for the remainder of our trip. If you're trying to decide who to choose for your guide - look no further. This man is wonderful! Thanks, Paolo!
Wandering the streets of Paris with Louis on our 5 hour walking tour was excellent. Louis engaged with everyone in our group. The pace of the tour allowed us to stop and capture plenty of photos. We enjoyed a delicious sweet treat at one of Louis favourite spots. He shared many stories of Paris’ history past and present. We visited districts of Paris we would not have thought to go. We would highly recommend a day out with Louis when in Paris.
Anukool was a pure delight. We had such an enjoyable day and tour of Paris on our first day. It was a great way to get the lay of the land and learn so much about the city. He was very knowledgeable and fun to be with. I chose him based on his high reviews and I can see why. You will not be disappointed.
Gelsomina was great! She was on time and communicated well with us. She shared a lot of information and made touring around Paris so much fun!
Welly was very (very) accommodating as we had to change our date and time (and our meeting location). He was responsive to the Chat and able to modify the tour to suit our requests of places to skip since we did some of the touristy spots before this tour. Welly had a lot of knowledge about the main sights as well as inside information about places off the beaten track. There is obviously a lot of history in Paris, and I feel like we covered a lot of it during our time with Welly. I highly recommend spending some time with him while you’re in Paris. Do it on one of your first days so he can give you insight as to places to visit while you’re there. Also, so you can go back to any place you want to spend more time. He walked at a good pace all day, not too fast or too slowly. This was by far our best value tour (by a large margin). No better way to see this beautiful city.
Anna is not only knowledgeable and presenting all facts and details in a great professional way - she is also a great person showing really nice attitude and care. We were with a small child and she gave so much practical advice, making our tour really easy and comfortable. We managed to see all the main sightseeings and also some really nice „hidden“ spots that only a local can show. Highly recommend choosing Anna as your local guide! Thank you Anna!
Welly was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, he personalized the tour to cater to the things we liked. He took us to a wonderful cafe for lunch, treated us to a coffee and a chocolate eclair at a bakery where we got to buy other sweets and a baguette which was one of our requests. We learned a lot about different historical events that happened in Paris and were shown the different scars that France keeps to remember those events. We got to see everything that we had asked to be shown and we ended the day at the Eiffel Tower. He even let us know what metro route to take to get back to our hotel which was extremely helpful! 10/10 experience we definitely will be recommending Welly to any friends and family who decide to take a private tour! It’s definitely an amazing experience when you have a guide that is passionate about their job!
This was our first visit to Paris and we will always have fond memories of Paris (and its food scene) thanks to Gelsomina. Walking through the streets of Paris seeing all the wonderful monuments she made us feel as if we were out on a stroll with a friend at our hometown. Our pace was regulated by Gelsomina such that we never felt tired. I would confidently recommend Gelsomina as a guide.
Anukool is an amazing host for Paris. He is well-versed in the history of the City and will show you the most important monuments of Paris as well as interesting smaller sights and stories. He is very flexible in routing according to your interests, as well as sharing his favorite foods and vendors along the way. I highly recommend a tour with Anukool - you will not be disappointed!
First timer to Paris and had a day to explore before business. I booked the 5-hour custom tour and chose Anna based on previous reviews. I had no major focus, other than historical and art as a focus. Anna didn’t disappoint. She met me at my hotel and she shared the itinerary and off we went. I can’t believe how much of the city we covered and how much I learned in this but more than that, Anna made the whole experience feel like I was walking the city with a good friend (and she put up with my need to take photos with tiny hands). I have never experienced a tour of this quality and would highly suggest Anna for any tour. I have sat and thought of the question Anna asked me before we parted of what I may have found the best part, or best area I saw. I couldn’t really explain it then and not sure I can now, but I have never felt more satisfied with a purchase than this tour. I learned not only of those landmarks on the map but the history of the times, and the Parisian view of today. It was cultural and community and just an incredible experience.
This tour was perfect! Anukool listened and customized the tour to exactly what we were looking for. His recommendations and knowledge of Paris was very much appreciated. It helped us not be so overwhelmed with such a big and beautiful city. I highly recommend!
We did the full coverage paris tour for 5 hours with Paolo and it was a great experience. Paolo had deep knowledge of the Parisian history and culture and kept us going throughout the tour. Although its a long tour, we didn’t feel the time because of how engaged we were. The tour provides great overall perspective of the city and is a must do early on during the visit to Paris. Mr Paolo was also very friendly and was willing to answer any questions that may arise. The lesser known details coupled with prominent landmarks makes this tour a very unique experience. We look forward to visiting Paris again and doing more tours with Paolo.
We spent five hours with Anna covering all the major city attractions. Anna was very friendly and pleasant to be with, and very knowledgeable about so much. She made sure we went to all the “must sees” and also showed us little areas and points of interest that most tourists will miss on their own. We asked a lot of questions, and she was able to answer all of them. We really enjoyed spending the time with a true Parisienne. Because we had so much time with Anna, we also enjoyed learning a little more about her. She is a lovely person! I highly recommend taking a tour with her! This is the second WithLocals tour we’ve done in Europe, and really enjoyed each. It is a wonderful way to explore an new city.
Our guide Anukool lives his interest in history, has profound knowledge which he shares with his clients. Recommended
We loved our city tour with Gelsomina! On our first full day in Paris, we learned so much about the Latin Quarter, Saint Germain, area around the Louvre, Concord, all the way to the Arc de Triomph. It was an excellent introduction to the city. Gelsomina was thorough, interesting and very friendly. I would highly recommend! Thank you for showing us a small part of your city!
We did a walking tour of Paris with Giedre and it was amazing. Such a sweet young lady. Much better than standing in tourist lines forever. A great way to explore and learn about Paris.
We got a stunning tour of the city with insider art, architecture, secret shopping and restaurant hidden gems. As a former employee of the Louvre and a true Paris local, our guide showed us a hidden peek into real Parisian life and got to revisit amazing sites….amazing food at Miznon to Samaritaine shopping under the most impressive glass dome, he answered every question from neoclassical architecture for me to WW2 historical sites for the hubby. I will ALWAYS spend my first day in a city “With Locals”…made a tea difference in the experience of our whole vacation.
We had a great walking tour of Paris with Ziggy. We were traveling with three kids (10-13) and Ziggy was very flexible in doing what we wanted but also guiding us to spots we would not have picked on our own, like Les Invalides, which was a great addition to our itinerary. Everything was fabulous and exactly what we were looking for. We enjoyed talking with Ziggy along the way and getting his perspective on all things Paris!
We enjoyed a fantastic few hours with Murilo during a flying visit to Paris in Feb. Glad we booked with him because we saw and learnt so much during the afternoon. Murilo took us to some of the best sights in Paris and he was extremely knowledgable and made the experience so enjoyable! Murilo is a wonderful guide, it was like walking through the city with a good friend :) Thank you Murilo for making our trip memorable and we wish you all the best for the future, Emma, Kyle & family xxxx
