Neda was an amazing guide. We took the tour an hour after arriving in Paris. Neda explained how Paris is arranged so we could better navigate after the tour. She even helped us better understand the metro. We stepped back in time with stories of various neighborhoods and streets. Neda has a wealth of knowledge of French history. She also made time for us to stop for a du vin chaud to refresh ourselves. We highly recommend this tour! If we hadn’t taken the tour, we would have been wandering around lost. Neda gave us a fantastic introduction to Paris!

Neda was very nice. I love the walk we did and the sites we saw. I would have preferred a more in depth explanation of the history that occurred at the sites we saw. It was just pointed out and described as 16th century without much detail.
What a great tour! Very informative but also fun. Neda was a brilliant guide and I would definitely recommend taking this tour.
There are people who guide you through a city, and there are people who quietly change the way you walk through it. Walking through Paris with Neda, the city seemed to speak softly again. Neda shared its cultural stories not as a guide, but as someone who had learned to listen to its silences. When the tour ended, it felt less like leaving a guide and more like parting from a companion who had lent us her eyes for a few hours. Paris remained the same city, yet somehow we returned home with a different one. And all these things, were possible because of her knowledge, her insight, and her rare ability to reveal the invisible life of the city. Thank you Neda 💐
Everything was great wonderful to see Paris as a city where people live and love their city not only famous monuments.
She was incredible- the time flew by - it was such an interesting tour and we got to learn so much about Paris in a very short time! Neda was so knowledgeable, very kind and really fun to spend time with- highly recommend! One of the best things we did in Paris!
I had an outstanding experience with Neda in Paris.

Meds did a great job of covering much of Paris in a 3 hour walking tour. Left bank right bank and lots of interesting information.
What a great tour. It was really informative and interesting. Neda is a fantastic guide; very knowledgeable and fun. I would definitely recommend this walking tour
Neda is so lively, friendly and knowledgeable and showed/told us about the history AND the current status of so many beautiful landmarks, sacred spaces and functionally important places. We walked at whatever pace was best for us, stopped for photos, enjoyed a cafe near Notre Dame, and ended with a covered walk around Place des Vosges. We are so grateful for Neda’s enthusiasm, not just about Paris fascinating history, but also about world cultures and their historical importance. We (daughter 30, myself 61) highly recommend you try to book a tour with Neda, an interesting, expert and convivial guide for a tour magnifique!
Taking a walk around Paris with Neda is like walking back in time. My husband and I learned so much about how and why Paris is the fantastic city it is today. This is a city rich in history. A city you don’t fully comprehend without a tour with Neda. She is incredibly knowledgeable, fun and funny. Get your comfy walking shoes on and be prepared for an amazing experience.
Three hours flew by in a flash. Thank you Neda for a wonderful time! Thanks to you, we saw the neighbourhood in a whole new light. With the narrow streets, the history and your tips, it was brilliant. A must-do!
Neda was a treasure of information. We covered a large area of Paris learning about key historical sites, exploring architectural differences and the present day diversity of the city. Neda offered and took great pictures of us. We can’t thank her enough.
The walking tour was extensive and very informative. Neda was knowledgeable and encouraged questions and discussion while we toured both banks and isle.
We had already visited Paris a few years ago, we decided to come back again, this time letting us discover the city by a local guide… it was a very good idea because seeing THE CITY from another perspective, a local guide, Neda, was amazing and exactly what we needed. She is knowledgeable and with a brainy sense of humor. No doubt, me and Sophie will definitely be back again. We’ll look for you Neda, we loved you!
We had a wonderful experience on this walking tour with our family. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made the history come alive with engaging stories and insights. It was both educational and enjoyable, and we all learned so much while exploring together. The pace was perfect, and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly.
