Excellent tour! - My wife and I had a wonderful tour from our guide Malakai. We got much more from our experiences in the Paris City Center and Louvre than we would have on our own. In particular, the Louvre is confusing to navigate without a good guide. Malaika had a great knowledge of French history and culture. You can tell she loves the Louvre, and she pointed out many less famous beautiful pieces there. She also recommended a great cafe (Cafe Carousel) for a quick snack between the two parts of the combined tour.

Great Tour with a great guide - Great Tour!
Get Florent if you can! He is a great and very knowledgable guide and easy going person. If you want to see Mona Lisa up close he knows the trick!

A great experience! - Mark was great! We spent about two hours walking around Isle de la Cite, learning about the origin of the city of Paris. We also walked around Saint Germain and the Latin Quarter. We then had an hour lunch break, where we dinned at an out door cafe. After that, we walked to the Louvre, which we stayed for about two hours. We got to see a few of the highlights, such as the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, other paintings by Da Vinci, The Great Sphinx, The wedding at Cana and the winged victory. It was a lot of walking, but worth it. We really enjoyed the tour!

Best Tour in Paris - This was by far the best tour we took in Paris. MARCEL was our guide, and we couldn’t have chosen a better person for the job. He had an abundance of knowledge, answered any question that was asked of him, and even made a detour on the city tour once I asked him his what his favorite Parisian street food was. Once inside the Louvre, he shared interesting facts about the history of the sculptures and paintings that he pointed out along the way. With the sheer size of the Louvre, it is a lot to try to take it all in. Marcel provided a comprehensive overview of the works inside the museum that didn’t feel like we were missing anything, but also not overwhelmed by the amount either. If I could, I would have Marcel give me every tour in Paris!

Family Christmas in Paris - Jean (Babylon tour guide) was such a wonderful guide. We learned so much history and enjoyed everything about our day. Jean really made the difference. So knowledgeable and very personable.
Not sure how I could ever find him but would love him as our guide on the next visit.

Walking tour of Paris - We had a great experience with Julien. The pace of the tour was perfect and he showed us many hidden gems of Paris. He shared a lot of history and fun facts as we toured the streets of Paris and while we visited the Louvre. After taking this tour, we were able to plan our next day and revisit some of the same spots on our own. I highly recommend taking this tour - especially with Julien.

Would not have done without a guide! - Julian was knowledgeable, efficient & professional. He went out of his way to show a couple of ‘senior’ ladies how to get to the Metro!

Absolutely awesome Tour! - We had a wonderful day touring with Miriam! She took us around the city and explained so much of Paris history! She was very knowledgeable and very friendly.
