A1 Experience! - From the get-go Agustina was amazing! She was bubbly, thorough, extremely sincere, delightful, and just a lot of fun! This is our first trip to Paris and Agustina left us with a most wonderful impression of this beautiful city. Her knowledge about the history of Paris and the architecture was impressive and much appreciated! She even graciously allowed us to stop and get coffee and breakfast on the way during our tour:-). What a wonderful way to begin our vacation…thank you Agustina for showing us the way!!!

Fabulous tour and experience with Liliya - Liliya was absolutely fantastic. We had a private tour with her. She was very accommodating and made our tour feel really special. Liliya has deep knowledge about Paris. I was entertained the whole time. She was easy to talk to and gave great shopping suggestions. She also took great pictures of my boyfriend and I in front of different places! Thank you, Liliya!

Great Way to Start your visit to Paris - with it's history! - We had a memorable start to our first day in Paris - for the first time! Antonia was a remarkable historian and tour guide. She brought us all through the old City and had amazing lore and interesting sites to stop and take in. She was also very open to questions and making the answers part of our tour. It was a delightful 3 hours with her. I would love to find more of the tours she leads and take those on our next visit. Thank you for a wonderful start to our amazing visit!

A great intro into Paris history - My husband and I only had one day in Paris so we wanted to hit several highlights. Hugo was a wealth of knowledge and gave an outstanding look into the history or Paris as told by its architecture. Would recommend to all.

Great opportunity to Learn About Paris - If I could give Francois 6 stars, I would!! He provided an extremely informative and entertaining walking tour. As a native Parisian, he could answer all our questions, whether historical, cultural, or practical.
Highly recommend!

Definitely worth it! Augustina, our tour guide, was amazing. - Our guide, Augustina was simply the BEST! She distilled SO much information into compelling stories that made you feel like a Parisian insider. Couldn't recommend this tour (and her in particular!!) more highly.
