Our photographer was fun to work with and provided us absolutely amazing photos of Paris. What a perfect souvenir!
Cannot recommend Emilie highly enough. We arrived a little late because of a metro mix-up, and she was incredibly gracious. She took such great care of my mother, my infant son and I, and suggested beautiful settings for the photos. It was very easy to be at ease with her as a photographer, and she was also just such a lovely person to talk to. Could have been a very challenging situation with a 6-month-old and two wily ladies in full-length gowns with heels- we couldn't resist- but she took it all in stride and made it happen. Booked through Chase Travel Rewards, no issues. Also, the pictures came out fantastic, with prompt turnaround. So worth the investment. Thank you again, Emilie! We are grateful for your skills!
We had a wonderful photo shoot and walk with our photographer! David was recommended by a friend who previously booked this excursion and raved about him. He did not disappoint. He was funny, friendly and great at his job. We look forward to seeing our pictures! If you’re tired of trying to capture moments with selfies or using strangers and family members, book David Law. He’ll get both posed and fun shots for you and make you feel at ease. Highly recommended!
Emilie captured some awesome photos of our family and she was really nice to work with as well. Thanks so much!
our photographer was a rare bird. very energetic really upbeat and personable. he took some great pictures for us
Sam was extremely professional, took lovely pictures of us at all iconic locations in Paris. Thank you
David was magnificent. He was patient with our large group and kept positive energy. There is walking so bring extra comfortable shoes.
David was an amazing photographer! He met us at the agreed location promptly, knew exactly where to go to get the best pics. He took so many unique pics. I didn’t want the boring pic in front of the louvre or Eiffel Tower- he had us posing in fun ways and the pics are awesome!! You will not regret spending a couple hours of your trip with him!!!
A fantastic use of 2 hours in Paris! The professional photos of our family, taken by the talented and lovely Ari Bafalouka, are a treasured souvenir from our time in France.
Camila was wonderful, what a professional. She did a great job taking the photos. Thank you so much, Camilla!
Sam was our photographer and he did such an amazing job 🤩 - loved the photos he clicked for us and help us build amazing lifetime memories - he was very patient, kind and knowledgeable and knew exact spots for great pictures. I would highly recommend him
The tour was not as expected. Thought I would get more out of the experience. The photo quality was not great. Terrible pixels and blurry with odd green tones. Luckily I booked another photographer and have photos to use from him.
Michel was just delightful! Great experience! I would highly recommend. Photos will be fabulous remembrance of our trip. Absolutely worth the couple of hours to have professional pictures!
Sebastian our tour guide was amazing! He’s an incredible artist/ photographer and wonderful tour guide!
Our photographer michael planson was the absolute best! He captured our personalities and the great architect in every picture. He was extremely professional and engaging. He took photos of individual families as well as all of us together. I would definitely recommend requesting him as your photographer.
Samuel was great, we enjoyed him. He was very patient with us, and captured a bunch of great photos. We really enjoyed the experience.
It was an amazing experience with David. He captured so many memorable locations during the walking tour. It was such a memorable experience. He is an excellent photography with a keen eye for detail and composition. Highly recommended.
I really enjoyed my photographer. He was the best. I will definitely recommend him. He was patient with us and I know he took some really nice pictures
I highly recommend this activity; it is totally worth it. Our photographer Sebastien was not only a master in his photography skills but also a very knowledgeable and kind person. He made my 7 year old son very comfortable and the photos came out so beautiful.
Eiffel Tower photo shoot The photographer was excellent and professional . The scenery was superb We will do it again if we have the chance.
It was a very nice walk and our photographer Ari was amazing. The shots are so nice, could not have done thar ourselves. Very happy!
Very enjoyable and different experience. Photos were better than if just used our phone camera. Sammy, our photographer was very pleasant and was on time considering it was Christmas day.
Absolutely loved this tour! David was great! He knew all the best photography spots and really outdid himself! It was a great introduction to Paris and I have some great pictures and memories now! David was also quite prompt in sending me the pictures. Highly recommend this tour!
David was absolutely incredible!!! We read many, many reviews before choosing this private session, and David was repeatedly reviewed as being an amazing photographer in every review. So when David was assigned to us, we were thrilled! David was, in fact, a ROCKSTAR. He was friendly and professional -he knew the perfect places for us to take gorgeous pictures. He advised us how to pose and he placed us in the best lighting, and at the right angles. He moved fast enough enough so that we could maximize our time and get pictures in many different locations. But he did not rush. The entire experience was absolutely perfect. We received the photos from david (including his favorite photos retouched) within an hour or two after the shoot. The photos are better than we could have ever imagined-They are fantastic! We have a mixture of romantic pictures, funny/cute pictures, original poses, and classic portraits. The photos are truly priceless and we will cherish them forever. David was really a dream come true photographer. If you have David take your pictures, you will be elated-both with the experience, and with the final photos. David -We can’t thank you enough!!!!!.
Michel Planson was phenomenal! He went above and beyond, always keeping me entertained and making sure I was okay, looked for any photo opportunities, was very accommodating, let me add ET photos so long as we got transportation, gave recommendations for places in Paris, tips on when to go, etc. 110/10 ✨
Sam was fantastic! He captured all of our memories perfectly. He took us too several beautiful spots and helped pose us to capture our Paris experience.
We had amazing time with David Law!Great personality and super professional!Every single photo is piece of art!Highly recommend
David is excellent photographer and fun and engaging. Drawback— the trip title “Walking Tour” misleading ( and why we signed up for). We had lots of fun and shot photos in great areas around Louvre and on Seine. Have great memories. But if you are looking for a tour, this is mostly a (very fun) photo shoot.
I would highly recommend this package. Samuel took fantastic pictures of us around the Eiffel Tour and the Louvre. He provided us pics same day via Google drive.
We met photographer, Michel. He made my hubby very comfortable, which he was not initially. We strolled through various areas in Paris while taking pics. Overall great experience.
This tour was a highlight of our trip to Paris. David was amazing and extremely patient. We are not a family who know how to pose for pictures and David took the time to help us create family pictures we will have forever. Honestly, he should probably charge more for the tour based on the quality and quantity of pictures alone. We would recommend this tour to anyone who wants professional photos in front of Parisian landmarks, and a funny and patient photographer.
Michel took us to the Royal Palace Gardens, the Louvre, and the Eiffel Tower. He knew exactly what poses to direct us to, and even made sure a lot of people were not in the background of our photos even though it was 4:30 in the afternoon. He was very prompt in getting our pictures back to us, giving us around 200 to work with. I definitely recommend this experience as we have gotten so many compliments on our photos so far!
David was a lot of fun. He took some great shots. He had a great mix of fun and serious photos. He knew the best spots in the city for photos
David was absolutely amazing. He knew how to pose and capture the light. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The picture were perfect and with the rain. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family.
David was amazing!! We could not be happier with the pictures. He was also incredibly accommodating when we had a travel challenge and needed to reschedule. I did this as a surprise for my teenaged niece and she absolutely adored it! Definitely recommend this experience with David!
Ari was excellent!! He had a lot of great places and ideas for photos. We definitely recommend using this company and ask for Ari.
Very personable and fun!!! Thanks so much! I would book again in a heartbeat. This was such a great way to capture us in the city.
I can not say enough great things about this experience. It was absolutley one of our favorite things we got to do while in Paris. I cant say enough about Michel. We will do this again. Thanks for making our 30 year anniversary memorable Michel.
Fantastic photographer with great knowledge of Paris! I’ve never hired a photographer online like this, but it was a fantastic experience that I highly recommend. He knew hidden spots that made for great shots we would not have found on our own. He planned it so that we ended up in front of Notre Dame at sunset, which was beautiful! He got great shots of our 11 and 13 year olds, which can be a challenge. Sometimes he would suggest something that might seem cheesy, but came out great on film. We have gotten so many compliments on the pictures. We had our pictures the next day via digital transfer. I’ve never had any photographer send shots that quickly. Great experience!
We had an awesome tour with Ari. He was professional and changed the visit sites to meet our needs. We wanted pics at the Eifel tower. We received the link a couple of days after the tour and tons of beautiful pictures. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Paris. He also was very informative on Parisian history The pictures are priceless and it was a great way to celebrate our 28th anniversary. I just hate We didn't have much cash on us because he deserved a bigger tip. He was Wonderful! Clifford & Kimberlyn Maynor
Thank you David! We love our photographs. It’s great to have photos of your entire group! We enjoyed our tour and all of the helpful hints about the city!
I booked this tour via Viator and David was our photographer. Intended this to be a surprise for my mother who I was traveling with to ensure we would get some great photos of the two of us together on the trip. David guided us all over the place, took tons of pictures, including some funny ones and provided all files to us within the day. The morning went by in a blur. We did a lot of walking and stopped in front of a lot of Paris' main landmarks for photos. These pictures will be cherished for a long time.
Buyer Beware! We booked this tour through Viator. It didn't turn out to be exactly what we thought it would be. We met our photographer on the assigned date and spent 90 minutes with him at random spots around the Louve area. The session itsself seemed to be ok. At the end the photographer stated, "You have tip for me?" I found this awkward as we were planning to tip him ... there was no need to ask for it. He told us that he would email the pictures the following day. We still have not received them. It has been eleven days. I have tried to contact this company and also Viator without any success. No one will respond. So basically we wasted our precious vacation time, spend money for a photo session, and have received nothing. Definitely disappointed.
We were very lucky to get Michel as our photographer. By the time we met he already had a plan in mind of what places to visit during the photoshoot. He was excellent at finding the best poses, and he injected a lot of fun to the entire session. If you are thinking about doing this make sure to ask for Michel as your Photographer. Very much worth the price of the service.
Although we were a family of eight, Michel managed to take some wonderful pictures that we shall always have in digital format. I was surprised at the size of the pictures (over 35 MB each). The download took quite a while even with a high speed Internet connection. Although we cut the session a bit shorter than the 2 hours that were planned (we were all still suffering the effects of jet lag), we have plenty of pictures that we shall treasure forever. Thank you Michel!
My family of four was very much looking forward to capturing some unique moments in Paris. We were left feeling a bit disappointed. We met our photographer outside of the Comédie-Française at 3:00pm. We walked to the area around the Jardin du Palais Royal. We began with some shots at a generic looking column. Then we walked to a row of trees. Next was a fountain. Then we stood in front of some shrubs. I began to wonder when we would be photographed with some of the iconic landmarks in Paris. I asked our photographer about the Eiffel Tower. He seemed a little surprised that I wanted photographs with that particular landmark. We walked to the Louvre where we were posed in front of the pyramid. I thought I was finally going to get some of those "Paris landmark" shots. I had to outright ask for the Eiffel Tower. I showed the photographer some screenshots I had of Pinterest ideas for Eiffel Tower pictures, so he had a clear understanding of what I wanted. Our photographer said we would have to take an Uber in order to get what I was asking for. I allowed the photographer to order the Uber on my phone. This was a mistake. He ordered an Uber for four people. When the Uber arrived, the photographer sat up front, and my entire family of four adults sat like clowns in the back of a Volkswagen CC. We arrived at a decent location for the shots I had envisioned. The photographer snapped a few shots, then marched us around to the Trocadéro Gardens for some shots with the tower in the far background. He finished snapping, and he asked me to I write down my email address in his notebook. Then he said, "Do you have a tip for me?" Of course, I had prepared for this because the booking information had said that gratuity was not included. I tipped him 35 Euros. As he strode away, I looked at my watch. It was 4:35pm. The booking was for two hours, so I was cheated out of 25 minutes of my time, never mind the 20 minutes spent in the Uber. When I received my photographs via email, I wanted to cry. I only received 129 photos despite being promised 130-150 photos. Many photos were blurry and poorly composed. To add insult to injury, the photographer wrote in his email, " I propose 90 Euros for 40 pics (once in Black and white and once in color so you will have 80 pictures touched up + the others one I already touched up)" So, he wants even more money to touch up photos that I could have taken with my phone. Buyer beware!
We had Jeremie and he was great! I’m so glad we did this! He made sure to get in contact before the shoot so we could meet in a certain place and was very professional. We know have amazing pictures to remember our trip!
My husband and I were on our honeymoon and decided to book this photography tour as a way to capture the trip without resorting to selfies. Jimmy was professional and had many great ideas for photos. It was a highlight of our trip and the photos turned out amazing.
Anyone can take selfies in front of iconic Paris landmarks, but if you'd like some great pictures that you know will turn out great, do this instead. The pictures of our family came out great!
