Perfect for a first-timer! - Not having been in Paris before, this tour was perfect for getting oriented to this fabulous city. David is quite knowledgable and made the city and the sites come alive from the history he knows so well. And the depth of his knowledge would make this wonderful even for those who have been here before. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

Tatiana, the greatest Aries tour guide ever - I wish I could give Tatiana 6 or 7 stars. ⭐️ So here’s an extra one. Tatiana went over and above straightening out our ticket situation. We were able to do Notre Dame, The Concergery, and St Chappelle in our time allotted. She made sure I got to see everything on our once in a lifetime trip. Her knowledge was excellent and didn’t hesitate in her speaking English. We got along famously and gave a real Parisians perspective on not only history but also some current events. I was sad to say goodbye, but I’m so glad we got to meet.

5 star experience with our guide REMI - We had an amazing guided tour with REMI, who shared with us very indepth details about our tour and specially Notre Dam. We got 5 mins late infact while reaching the meeting point and he was very patiently waiting for us.
Apologies for those 5 mins to keep you waiting REMI :-).
I would recommend booking any future tours with Liv Tours for people seeing this review as they have a very friendly and cooperative nature.
5 stars from my side.

Start your Paris vacation on the right foot! - This 90 minute tour of Ile de la Cité & Ile St Louis is the perfect introduction to Paris' most historic area in the 1st arrondissment. Our guide Sophie was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Her pace was perfect for our small group of 4, and she personalized the tour with her own observations and comments, which made our experience even more authentic and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Experiencing 3000 years of history in less than 2 hrs. - Amber our guide was very knowledgable, personable and engaging.- not just with adults but also my grandson age 10. I appreciated her patience with the younger one age 7. She walked us through different periods of Parisian history from its inception through the monarchies. i highly recommend her.

Private 3 hours BIKEk tour LIV tours Paris with Thomas - We had a fabulous private bike tour with Thomas, who took us to see the sights in Paris. Our family of 5 (kids aged 11, 14, 16) enjoyed the information and the pace in the heat wave - Thomas was very accommodating to our needs, checking for our safety on the roads, spraying us with mist if we looked hot, offering water and sunscreen. A private bike tour is the perfect way to see the sights at your pace and Thomas was a fabulous guide. We did several LivTours in Paris and Rome and would have booked more except that they had already sold out. All guides were fabulous, on time, relaible and great communication before meeting and on the day. Thanks for showing us around!!
