Highlights & Hidden Gems Of Ile De Cité & The Left Bank: Private City Tour

Wonderful experience. very informative about the city. We tried local dishes and were introduced to key spots to try while we are here.

This was a great tour. Izabele G. Was our guide and she was terrific. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Paris and each stop on the tour. Viator the website gets 2 stars because initially it billed this as a golf cart tour, however, our tour guide gets 5 stars for sure. Thank you Izabele for a memorable guided tour. We appreciate you.

Iza was a fun, knowledgeable guide for my first visit and tour of Paris. While many places were not open as it was a Monday, she still incorporated as many outdoor attractions as possible- gardens, streetscapes, etc, all the while sharing interesting perspectives on what we were seeing. I highly recommend Iza to anyone considering a Paris visit!

I had an astonishingly good tour with Louis. I highly recommend him as a well informed, interesting and friendly guide. There’s no question that I got my money’s worth. I learned so much and had fun doing it!

Fair warning - this is not a tour with a trained guide. It’s gets three stars because I’m blaming myself partially since I probably should have read the ad and reviews better. Otherwise this was a 2 star experience and 1 star for value. We basically flushed our money away. The local “guide” guiding us really didn’t know too much history - maybe a few fun facts he googled. He didn’t give us any opinions or recommendations because he said everything in Paris is beautiful and delicious. Sometimes he’d lose his way taking us around. But about an hour into the tour, we were both ready to stop it. But didn’t want to be rude and endured the next two hours. I felt the guide was boring himself as well. Surely there are better walking tours.

Great to chat and walk around with a local to the area! We hit the highlights of Paris from the view of a local. Heads up, there are no tickets involved. In the description it says they are, but the inclusions does not have tickets. Kinda confusing, but it was a great time!!

Easy to book, and meeting place was easy to find. Our guide Olivia walked up to us like a long lost friend up and a quick chat about us and what we wanted and we were off. Seeing historic places is one thing but having stories told about everything you can see and hearing the past was truly immersive. It was my first time using withlocals and I will use again. Highly recommend Olivia. So much local knowledge and I could no have asked for a better tour, or tour guide.

Loved everything about this tour. Really got to feel the essence of Paris. Louis was exceptionally knowledgeable and entertaining. It is worth having a knowledgeable tour guide. There are so many hidden stories and information which one is sure to miss without a tour guide.

Iza was excellent! My kids said this was their favorite tour we took in Paris, and my husband and I agreed. We really got to see a local’s view of the city, and she gave us some amazing local recommendations too, mostly things tourists wouldn’t know about. She was friendly, helpful and super knowledgeable. We loved the insight and experience just learning from her!!

Very knowledgeable guide. A little too heavy on the history for us but it was enjoyable. He walked us all around the Latin Quarter.

We felt that the advertisement for this tour was misleading so we ended up being disappointed overall. We had really wanted to visit Saint Chapelle to see the stained glass windows so I booked this tour based on the interior photo that was shown and we didn't get to see it. Our guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant but there wasn't an itinerary like we had expected so he asked us several times where we would like to go which was awkward and puzzling. When I mentioned Saint Chapelle at the beginning of the tour, he said that he had walked by it on the way to meet us and there was a long line to get in so he wouldn't recommend going there. But that was the primary reason I booked it!

We fell in love with Olivia and her love of Paris. She is so intelligent, articulate and charming. She was able to easily accommodate an older person with walking issues in our small group and answered all of our questions - big and small. I love the concept (and execution) of WithLocals and I’ve already booked another tour after this experience.

With Locals is an excellent company that we have used before being with Olivia. As for this tour, I would highly recommend this and most definitely, Olivia. Olivia made it feel as if we were meeting a friend in Paris. The left bank and over to Ile de Cite was really special. We went to area in the Latin Quarter we never would have gone to. Olivia was engaging and really took an interest as to this tour and time with her. It made our start to Paris most special.

Bibiana was so nice and so knowledgeable, very enthusiastic about the history, and we learned a lot and saw sites we haven't seen before. It was awe inspiring if you love history and viewing wonderful Paris.

Bibiana is so kind and friendly and so knowledgeable. She lead us around the Latin quarter sharing stories of the city and so much history. She was engaging and fun and really showed us some unique and interesting things. We even got a mini lesson on ordering coffee when we took a break in a cafe to escape the rain. We had a great time!

Never did I expect to stand at the base of such amazing structures depicting the history of Paris! Emilie made this tour a trip of a lifetime for me. Her knowledge of the city is top-notch as is her ability to give her guests the experience they can only dream of. Simply magical- thank you Emilie!
