Excellent tour - don't hesitate to book! - Fantastic tour that was great to do on our first day in Paris. Our guide Tamari was excellent - so knowledgeable and made the history fun and relevant. We were lucky as no one else had booked on our tour so we had the guide all to ourselves!
The tour whizzed by and we ended up at the Louvre where we had booked entry tickets for after the the tour had finished.
Really recommend to all, especially for Paris first timers!

Great tour, even better storyteller! - Georgia was an amazing tour guide! She was witty, hilarious, knowledgeable, and really made the history come to life. There are several opportunities to fill water bottles on hot days on the tour, and Georgia gave us some excellent recommendations for additional activities and a restaurant before separate afternoon activities by the Louvre. Our tour ended up being private, as we were the only ones who booked, so it was a particularly special day!

Wonderful tour of the Paris city center - I had an amazing tour of the Paris city center with Georgia. Her deep knowledge, engaging storytelling, and warm personality made the experience unforgettable. Georgia brought the city's history to life, showing us both iconic landmarks and hidden gems. Her passion for Paris is infectious, and her personal touch made everyone feel welcome. I highly recommend Georgia's tour for an insightful and enjoyable exploration of Paris.

Loved it! - Francois was a fantastic tour guide. We unfortunately relied on the Uber App (didn’t pick up for 30 min when it said 4 min to start) so we were late by 30 min. Francois texted us his location so we didn’t miss the entire tour! So kind of him. His stories were informative and fun. We learned so much and really enjoyed the entire tour! He even gave us a lunch recommendation which has been our favorite dinner so far!!

Great start to our visit - Our walking tour with Malaika was a wonderful start to our 4 day trip in Paris. She was extremely knowledgeable and provided details on the highlights of the walk. A walking tour is a great history lesson and highlights areas you may otherwise not notice.

Paris from the Heart - François was fantastic! Very personable, with a delightful storytelling manner of telling the history of his beloved Paris. Unapologetically Parisian, and a “Right Bank traitor”, he created a collegiality in our small group of tourists that resulted in building a friendship over lunch after our tour. Definitely ask for him by name.

A History of Paris for all ages in only 2 1/2 hours. - Our two-and-a-half-hour tour by tour guide Francois was totally enjoyable. It was educational and entertaining and Francois was truly engaging, knowledgeable and professional. Very easy to recommend.
