Excellent Tour - Excellent tour! Claire was an awesome tour guide. She was professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We saw all the major landmarks. Claire provided advice on when to visit the sites and how best to get there. I agree with all the previous reviews that this is the best way to see the city, since it includes navigating the Metro.

Perfect Introduction to Paris - I highly recommend this tour as an enjoyable way to become familiar with Paris and the Metro system. Claire, our guide, was amazing! She helped me figure out the Metro and was so delightful to spend a few hours with. She helped us feel connected to the history of Paris, sharing much useful knowledge and amusing stories to bring the city to life, including a stop in the Latin Quarter in an area rich with wonderful street food options. Claire made sure all members of the tour were well taken care of, and we left feeling like we’d made new friends in Paris! It was an awesome experience and one I highly recommend to others.

Luciana was great - Brilliant tour!!! Our guide name was Luciana and she was absolutely incredible. She was very knowledgable, respectful and so charming - she truly gave us a fantastic day in Paris that we will never forget. We learnt about history, art, culture and much more. We never once felt rushed and were able to get as many photos as we wanted. We would totally recommend this tour to anyone specially with her! Thank you Luciana for making us feel at home. - Narhalie & Rachel

Great Overview of Touristy and Non-Touristy Paris. - Johann was a terrific guide. The other family that was scheduled had a flight delay so my husband and I had a private tour- yay! We really felt like we got the best parts of Paris on our tour. For the most part we were learning about the history and walking by and taking pictures as we went. We covered a lot of ground and for us where we only had a day to tour it was a great choice to do this tour. Johann was very pleasant to spend the day with and we’d highly recommend this tour.

Our favorite tour of the trip! - This tour was one of our top experiences in Paris! Johann was a fantastic guide and we enjoyed his insights and anecdotes. Our kids, 8 and 11, also loved the tour and he included them so well. I highly recommend this tour! Thanks again.

Wonderful guide - Luciana was an excellent guide. The only improvement I could suggest in this tour is for the hosts to offer some method for guests to be able to hear her better over the din of Paris streets (specifically, something like the QuietVox devices we've had on excursions on river cruises). Mostly, though, my thanks to Luciana for her response when my visit to Paris was marred by a personal "incident" on the subway. I'd probably still be down in the subway tunnels if it hadn't been for her! She really cared.

They canceled before our tour - This company canceled a week before the trip but I did not receive the message until we were at the meeting point waiting for our tour to begin. They said they would initiate a refund immediately when they sent the message a week before when they canceled. They did not issue a refund until I got on TripAdvisor to request it. This was very disappointing!
