The most Amazing car tour in Paris! - I cannot say enough amazing things about Benjamin and this fabulous tour. He is so knowledgeable and talented!! It feels like you are just driving with a friend who has a really cool car-no tourists here! We even got to have some champagne!
I can’t say enough about the car-it felt so cool and cute to drive the streets of Paris in such a well-preserved and gorgeous vintage car!
We were able to see so much of Paris and learn so much as Benjamin knows so much history and information on Paris.
I can’t wait to book this tour the next time I am in town-I am recommending him to EVERYONE!!! Merci Beacoup Benjamin! Xoxo

See Paris in style! - What a fun and lovely experience! Benjamin is a kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating host, and his beautiful Citroen DS was a sight to behold! Benjamin was prepared with an interesting and comprehensive tour agenda, and was also happy to discuss any additional questions we had. He maneuvered the car through Paris main and side streets, people taking our picture everywhere we went because this car is just gorgeous. The pre-seatbelt back seat was plush and comfortable, and we lucked out with a sunny spring day for riding around with the top open. He offered photo ops at some stops and it turns out that he’s also an excellent photographer! What a special way to launch our Paris vacation - we would recommend this tour without hesitation.

Cannot recommend enough! - We booked a two hour private tour of Paris but enjoyed it so much we extended the tour to three hours. Benjamin is a great tour guide and was very accommodating - he picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel, and took us to all the major sights. Highly recommended!

First time in Paris - We liked the idea of an overview of Paris. But the traffic was horrible(as usual) and we were stuck in it much of the time. Half the time we couldn’t hear or understand what our guide was saying. He needed a mike/audio system. Definitely not worth the high price.
