Our guide was pleasant but did not provide much information - she barely pointed out anything while walking from one place to another. She didn’t really know much about the history of Paris and couldn't answer some basic questions - she didn’t even point out the left and right banks. We exprcted considerably more, particularly for the price we paid.

This was a disappointing tour of Paris. While our tour guide, Pablo, was very personable, he provided limited detailed information as we traveled throughout the city. The Viatour description was not the tour we received. Pablo was supposed to include several stops that he either eliminated completely or explained how we could do them on our own. This was an expensive private tour that did not provide what was promised in quality or inclusion of sites. This was listed as a 3 to 4 hour tour which lasted 2 hours and 40 minutes.
Sophie was fantastic. Knowledgeable, enthusiastic and kind. We spent 3 fantastic hours with her. And her guidance didn’t end there, as she put together a list of recommendations based on the location of our hotel, our interests, preferred way of getting around and the amount of time we had left in Paris. We really couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
Pablo is a fantastic tour guide. Our family of 3 adults found the experience to be very informative and interesting. He is very kind, personable and accommodating. We truly appreciated his flexibility with our request to adjust the itinerary to focus only on specific areas due to the very hot temperatures. Pablo was mindful of going at an appropriate pace with frequent stops in the shade. He has a wealth of knowledge and gave us fascinating historical and architectural information. Most importantly, he responded promptly to my emails before the tour -this is so very important when coordinating and confirming the details. As a wonderful added bonus, the tour included a delicious meal (savory crepe, dessert crepe and drink) in an air-conditioned charming creperie. This is an outstanding and very enjoyable tour-highly recommend.
Nat was a delightful guide. She showed us most of the famous landmarks and was knowledgeable about the history of Paris. If you’re lucky enough to get her as a guide you’re in for a treat.
This was such a good option for a short stay in Paris. Our guide Lolie was really attentive and adapted everything to what we hadn’t seen yet, which made the experience feel very personal. We got to cover all the main sights while also learning interesting bits of history along the way. She also shared some great tips for the rest of our time in the city. Would definitely recommend booking this!
We had a really lovely tour with Ravi. He was very knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely interesting to listen to. We learned quite a lot along the way, including some fascinating facts we hadn’t heard before, which made the whole experience even better. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone visiting.
Marco was incredibly bright and fun to be around. He’s packed with cool details regarding the city's buildings, past, and local lifestyle, tackling our inquiries with total confidence and passion. The hours honestly disappeared while wandering with Marco! You really shouldn't pass this up!
Our private guide Marianne was truly outstanding and beyond expectations! She brought us to every spot we hoped to visit and shared so much insight and background that really helped us grasp Paris in a deeper way. This is absolutely essential if you're in Paris for a brief visit and want to experience as much as possible.
What a city Paris is! My wife and I enjoyed a beautiful day strolling through the streets. Camille spent so much time sharing fascinating history and highlighting little details we never would’ve noticed on our own. We walked from Notre-Dame all the way to the Eiffel Tower, taking in every moment. We completely fell in love with the city — and even stayed out after the tour to keep soaking it all in.
We had Iman as our guide and she was absolutely perfect! I would highly recommend booking her and this tour. We were able to visit all of the highlights opera, louvre, Eiffel Tower, etc. provided history, culture, and she was able to cater to our interests. Thank you for a memorable visit to Paris.
I opted for the longer tour, and having Floriane as my guide made it unforgettable! The hours raced by, filled with stories and insights. I genuinely think it’s worth every cent. Choosing to meet her at the hotel was so practical and stress-free.
Truly enjoyed our tour. Sammie was the best. He's very knowledgeable about the city. He was also patient and fun. Truly a 5 star guide. We saw everything we wanted to see and more. I highly recommend this tour and tour guide!
Susan, our tour guide, taught us the ins and outs of how to get around in Paris. Susan is well educated in the knowledge she shared. She was a pleasure to spend time with. We highly recommend her and hope to enjoy tours with her in the future.
This tour was such a great way to experience Paris for the first time. Paul had a real passion for the city and made the history feel alive and easy to understand. We saw famous landmarks but also some lesser-known spots that felt really special. Paul made us fall in love with Paris even more!
Sammy went above and beyond to make sure we got to see everything we paid for! He was very patient and knowledgeable about Paris!
Susan was very knowledgeable of the secrets and highlights of Paris. We enjoyed the adventure a lot. She managed the time to ensure that we saw a lot of varied places. One favorite is Victor Hugo's apartment, as we are fan of Les Miserable. Thank you very much Susan, we had so much.
Our walking tour with Susan was outstanding! She was so accommodating to our needs, shared great stories and history of the places we ventured to. The crepe lunch was absolutely delicious and the service was great. Susan, our guide was so patient, friendly, kind and took great pictures of us during our visits. We had such a memorable and delightful experience!
Well informed and friendly. A fountain of information about Paris and its history. Pablo did a great job conveying information about our stops. He seemed to genuinely be interested in the subject as he was enthusiastic in his presentation. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the crepes. Thank you!
Guide was engaging and attentive and she showed us key highlights. I am not sure we got any secrets about Paris but it was good to get a lay of the land.
Susan our tour guide was very patient, kind and knowledgeable of the city. She went over and beyond to make everyone comfortable. I highly recommend Susan.
Susan was knowledgeable, friendly and very accommodating to our needs as we walked and learned so much about Paris and interesting and unusual facts. The crepes were absolutely amazing and we truly appreciate her knowledge and passion for this city.
We went on a car tour the night before, but the walking tour does immerse you more into the feeling and energy of sites. We saw architectural and historical examples of Paris with our guide, Pablo. We had our questions answered and the crepes at the end of the tour were fantastic. Would recommend tour and guide.
We had the pleasure of being guided by Pablo, and I must say he was exceptional. His English fluency made everyone easy to understand, and his wit and charm made the tour even more enjoyable. Not only was he very knowledgeable about the main attractions we visited, but he also gave us an insight into the daily life of the locals. I wish I had hired his tour on my first day in the city, as it was truly the best way to get to know the city. If you are looking for a memorable and insightful tour, I highly recommend booking a tour with Pablo!
The tour exceeded our expectations. Frederic took us to wonderful places in Paris. The crêpes were delicious... and the Eiffel Tower is a blast!
Not recommended, too much walking and too fast, we did not understand the explanations in addition we did not know where to go for the start. Too expensive for what we had. We were very disappointed. This excursion is not recommended for older people.
Our guide Susan was fantastic. She knows where she's going and is effective. A nice visit with a friendly person and who took care of us:)
