From the first moment we met Thierry, we knew we were in good hands. He was on-time and texted prior to arriving. He knew Paris well and had so many interesting stories and facts to share. Prior to seeing each landmark, he played a video to familiarize us while he drove. Very clever. (Paris traffic is no joke and requires great skill as there are no clear traffic lanes in many areas) We all enjoyed seeing new sites and hearing about them. When we told him that we already toured a locale, he was able to fill in the slot with something else to see. This was great flexibility and customization. Wish we had more time in Paris; we would have booked more tours with Thierry! Best tour ever, especially with the photos he sent. Way better than taking selfies!

Thierry was awesome! From the first moment we met him, we knew we made a good choice. He picked us up at our hotel and sent a text prior to let us know his arrival. The van was nice too. We appreciated the commentaries and info on each site. He played a short video as we drove to each location which was clever to familiarize us while he drove. (Driving in Paris takes a special skill in itself!! Yikes- the traffic and no-laned streets are not for the faint of heart ). Tierry was also flexible as some of the sites he planned we had already seen. So he made adjustments on the spot. Everything we saw was then for the first time! The photos were a huge plus as our selfies aren’t that great. lol. It we had more time in Paris, we would have taken another tour with Tierry! Would definitely recommend doing any of his excursions.
It’s one of the best experiences Thierty is very knowledgeable friendly and he helped us all the way not just on the tour 🤗 I appreciate the hospitality for the great pictures and the excelente restaurants
Great experience, learned a lot of things about Paris that had our interest, and we had a lot of fun.
Thierry is on time, professional and very friendly. We do feel at home in his van. Thanks to him, we were able to see all the major sites easily. Thierry took lots of photos for us at each place, and sent us the link to access the photos the next day! Our family of three generations enjoyed the tour and the photos!
Incredible tour. Amazing tour guide. Worth every penny. Would do it all over again. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable!
Thierry was the best tour guide we ever had. We highly recommend him to everyone. He goes beyond the call of duty.
This tour was absolutely amazing, and Thierry made it an unforgettable experience! His knowledge was incredible, and he shared so many interesting facts while keeping the tour fun and engaging from start to finish. He also took beautiful photos for us that we’ll treasure forever. If you’re considering this tour, I highly recommend requesting Thierry. He truly went above and beyond to make our experience special. Thank you for an incredible day ~ we couldn’t have asked for a better guide! This was one of the highlights of our trip to Paris!
Our tour guide Thierry was amazing! He was very knowledgeable about the history of Paris. We adjusted the tour slightly to suit our preferences which wasn’t a problem. The whole experience was outstanding, highly recommended!
We had a great time with Thierry! He is very knowledgeable about the history of Paris and explained everything in such a way that even my 10 y/o daughter found it interesting. I definitely recommend booking a tour with him if you want to relax and be driven around in a nicely air conditioned van. The wonderful photo shoot at each location turned out beautifully.
Thierry took care of us! It was a full day tour in record breaking Paris heat. Couldn’t be happier.
Excellent tour experience! Knowledgeable, professional, patient, and courteous. This was our first tour experience in Paris and was definitely an excellent choice.
Such a great experience! I will definitely book again!
Had a fabulous time with Thierry. Our tour of the Paris sites was educational and informative - but carried out in a relaxed and fun way. Highly recommended!
We had the BEST time with Thierry for the all day Paris tour! We were lucky, because the day we booked the tour was raining on and off so we got to see the sights in comfort. Thierry took care of every need- from wonderful restaurant choices, informational videos on the sights as well as his own knowledge, chauffeur, translator, photographer, was wonderful with our two kids, and even worked with a street seller to get us a good price for umbrellas. We loved our experience so luck that we arranged another tour with him to Chateau Fountainbleu where he arranged some incredible and unique side trips to a hotel where each room is done by a different artist and lunch at a renowned French pop stars old residence. We had the absolute best time with Thierry and he is worth every penny you pay for his time! Guaranteed! His experiences made our entire trip memorable!
My tour in Paris was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we started, everything felt exciting and well organized. The city itself is beautiful, with amazing architecture, history, and culture around every corner. One of the best parts of the tour was our guide, Thierry. He was very knowledgeable and made everything interesting by sharing stories instead of just facts. He explained the history of different places in a way that was easy to understand, and he kept my family and I group engaged the whole time. You could tell he really cared about making sure we had a great experience. We visited famous landmarks, walked through charming streets, and even got to see some hidden spots that most tourists might miss. Thierry also gave helpful tips about great local food and places to explore on our own, which made our trip even better. Overall, this tour was an amazing experience, and Thierry made it even more special. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Paris because it helped me learn a lot while also having a great time.
The tour was great. Thierry provided a lot of historical information for the places we visited. He also modified the tour to accommodate the people with disabilities. I would definitely recommend him.
If you don’t have a lot of day this is a great tour. Looking forward to the photos Thierry took. Due to weather we had to improvise.
We had a brief stay in Paris and Thierry, our absolutely delightful tour guide, gave us the perfect tour of all the major sites of Paris. He arrived early and ready to pick us up in his spacious van. He was informative and a pleasure to spend the day with. To top it all off, Thierry brought a professional camera and took loads of photos of our group at the various sites. We all had fun and learned a lot. I highly recommend this tour!!!
Our driver was supposed to pick us up at 11:00. When I called he said he could be here between 1:30 or 2:00 later. We have other plans at 5:30 so could not wait. We want full refund!
Thierry was a fabulous guide. He spoke 4 to 5 languages and spoke English extremely well. He was very knowledgeable and patient and customized the trip to exactly what we wanted. We are excited to see all of the pictures he took and know that he did a great job. We would highly recommend this tour and we’ll use the Thierry again on our next trip to Paris.
Our tour guide made it a magical experience, and he went way above and beyond the call of duty! Thx!
Very well organized, very educational and Theiry, the driver/guide, is extremely helpful, pleasant and knowledgeable. He can tell you as much or as little as you like.
It was a really great day. The vehicle was very comfortable and clean. Thierry our guide had left water, sweets and tissue in the car - so thoughtful. Thierry was very knowledgeable and always checking whether we needed to see more or what we additional information we were interested in - so he could tailor the tour. Our daughter had started to have a cough and he accompanied us to the pharmacie as our French was not the best! I would highly recommend him.
AMAZING - If I could give Thierry more than 5 stars in this review, I would! He was an amazing guide. We had a very nice van pick us up from our VRBO and take us to all of the main attractions in Paris. He was multi-lingual and able to share in both English and Spanish (for my in-laws). He took great photos of us everywhere we went for great memories. Communication pre and post tour was fantastic. He was even able to customize the tour for us! If you have limited time in Paris and want to hit all of the hotspots, this is the way to go!! I will be recommending this to any of my friends and family who will be visiting Paris.
FANTASTIC!! Not only is this an incredible tour of Paris, it is also a real photoshoot at every stop with a professional photog!! Thierry was such an amazing guide - smart, funny, incredibly knowledgeable (and he speaks MANY languages:) and really tailored the tour to us and our interests. VERY VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
The tour was worth it, we were able to see paris in just a short time. Thierry was awesome! He is the best! The tour was very informative and fun at the same time.
It’s been very good time and lot of patience for the pictures. Nice choice of locations and good knowledge of the area / history of Paris.
This was truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. They personally guided us every step of the way and even joined us like family on this trip. We can’t thank you enough as this experience was nothing short of magical ✨
This was the Best tour ever! We were picked up at our hotel in Paris on time! Spacious Mercedes van with driver and Terry the guide. We saw all the major locations as outlined in the itinerary. Terry the guide is a photographer and takes all the best photos with his own 35mm camera. He is so welll read and his knowledge of the history of Paris is outstanding. We had such amazing day!! We had time to have lunch and a few drinks at Monmarte. Totally recommend. A must do!
We had a great time! Thierry was awesome! Very informative. We had tour time, explore time, and got some amazing photos!
This tour was better than described. Thierry was an amazing guide. The photo shoot was a great addition. We saw a great deal of important historical sights. I would highly recommend this tour. The price was well worth it.
This was a fantastic way to explore the city, hit the major sites AND get amazing photos! Thierry was a great tour guide and made good recommendations for other activities to include in our trip. Highly recommend
Thiery picked us up on time. Since we had seen some of the places already, we adjusted the trip to meet our needs.
We had a great experience- loved it! It was nice to not to worry about seeing everything or taking pics! My daughter had a knee injury so we couldn’t do a ton of walking and this was the perfect option! We started with opening tickets to the love, met the tour there and ended at the Eiffel Tower. It was a full and memorable day!
We had an amazing time with our guide Thierry. He picked us up on time, we were in a very comfortable van, water was provided and on the way to each spot we watched a brief video. We saw the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomohe, Chpes-Elysees, the Louvre, Notre Dame, Basilique dY Sacre Coeur, Montemartre, and Moulin Rouge. We stopped for an amazing local French lunch which was the best! Had escargot, best French onion soup of my life and a wonderful steak! Thierry was fun and entertaining, personable and very knowledgeable. He took great pictures of us and really captured the essence of our relationship! We were celebrating our 25 year anniversary and will have these photo memories forever! When I come back to Paris I’m definitely booking another tour with Thierry! Thank you for the great experience and great pics!
Thierry was great to deal with and our transfers & tours were excellent! Would highly recommend Babel Resa for private touring in Paris - the whole experience was faultless from beginning to end.
Great easy way to see many Paris attractions with loved ones. Many photo opportunities and great conversations as we learned about the history of the city. Definitely would recommend!
This tour was amazing! Thierry was fantastic, we had a wonderful time seeing all the sites of Paris and he took a lot of photos can’t wait to see them. We were able to enjoy the tour without having to worry did we get photos . I would highly recommend this tour!
Amazing tour! Thierry was very knowledgeable and my family and I not only learned a lot but really enjoyed the day! We also got beautiful photos that will last a lifetime.
Full Day Private Tour of Paris in a Van with photoshoot included - We started our 2 weeks France tour with this trip and boy it was very good. Thierry is an absolute delight, the van is nice and cool and his approach is very flexible and makes you immediately feel at ease. We later realized he takes great photos too. We wanted this tour to get us introduced to the top attractions in Paris for a deep dive later on. It met that purpose very well. We also came to know about important and interesting facts throughout the tour. Highly recommended.
We had a tour with Thierry and he was absolutely amazing. We are a family of 5 (mom, dad, and 3 girls - 17, 14, and 11). We had just flown in that morning and started the tour with little sleep other than the plane ride from the U.S. The van was spacious and comfortable so the girls were able to take short naps between sites. Thierry was extremely informative and personable. We are big into photos for our girls to have memories of all of our family trips. Having Thierry take the photos, and also knowing the best spots for the perfect shots, was amazing. There are so many unique locations to see/photograph the different sites, and without Thierry, we would have just taken the typical tourist photos with everyone else. We absolutely recommend this tour as either an introductory tour so you can decide where you want to return to for a more in-depth tour, or as a tour centered around getting the perfect photos of you and your family at the top sites. If you have a decent camera, I wouldn’t trust a stranger to take a photo of you and your family. But Thierry understands how to get the right shot with his camera, or yours as well.
Highly Recommend! Best tour guide.. and he takes amazing photos !! I rarely write a review but for this I will!! Book this if going to Paris !!
Thierry was a great tour guide! He was funny, flexible and considerate. We had a good time visiting all the iconic places, trying authentic local restaurant and learning about the culture from him. Plus, he took nice photos! We've got all the photos back in just 2 days.
If you’re looking for a VIP tour experience in Paris that’s equal parts luxury and family-friendly, Babel Resa is the way to go. We had the pleasure of spending the day with Thierry, and let me tell you — he went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. From the moment we stepped into the car, Thierry had everything thoughtfully prepared. Car seat? Booster seat? Both ready and waiting, so we could all relax and just enjoy the ride. He even had water and snacks for the kids, which was a lifesaver after a long morning of sightseeing. Thierry’s patience was next-level. He made sure our little ones were comfortable and even took the time to snap some family photos for us with some of the most iconic Paris backdrops — moments we’ll cherish forever. And as he drove us around, he didn’t just get us from point A to B. He narrated the entire journey, pointing out hidden gems and sharing the kind of insider stories that made us feel like we were seeing Paris for the first time. For a multi-generational group like ours — from toddlers to grandparents — this tour was the perfect blend of comfort, insight, and personal touches. The amount of value we got in just a few hours was incredible. If you’re heading to Paris and want a truly customized experience, ask for Thierry. You won’t regret it. Merci, Babel Resa! 💫🇫🇷
Loads of opportunities to see the Paris sights. We found Thierry very pleasant and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this tour, to get a good feel for Paris, & to see the city highlights.
Our tour of Paris with Thierry was absolutely fantastic! He is an outstanding guide — incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history, landmarks, and local culture, and he shared everything with such passion and enthusiasm. What really made the experience special was his all-around service and attention to detail. Thierry took beautiful photos of us throughout the tour, and we were amazed to receive the edited pictures within just two days — they turned out stunning! To top it off, we had accidentally left a shopping bag in the car, and Thierry went above and beyond by personally bringing it to our hotel the very next day. That level of care and professionalism is rare and truly appreciated. Highly recommend this tour and Thierry in particular — he made our time in Paris unforgettable!
This was the perfect way to kick off our Paris trip. we were in a very comfortable van. He took out all guesswork on where to go. we were picked up at our hotel. Thierry was our driver, photographer and guide. he was very thorough, patient and full of information. can’t wait to see our pictures.
Thierry was a great guide. He was able to park in spots very close to the view points — — and on a rainy day — that was a huge plus. Great information shared. Really excited to see how the photos come out.
Thierry took great photos with his digital Canon SLR and was very flexible in how long we wanted to stay at each spot. We enjoyed laughing together and learning about the key sites. He took us to one of his favorite French restaurants to have lunch and was planning on eating alone but we really enjoyed his company and asked him to join us. We had a great time together and will ask for him the next time we’re in Paris.
