Extremely informative tour! - Our guide, Sophia, was incredibly knowledgeable about the architecture and history of Paris. She spoke wonderful English and was extremely nice. My husband and I have been on several Liv Tours in Italy, and this one did not disappoint!

History made exciting and intriguing - Such a fun tour. Linda was delightful and so knowledgeable. She shared the history and legends of the sites in a way that brought them to life and engaged us in the drama and excitement of history. She shared insights into local communities that we could only learn from an experienced and passionate Parisian. We had so much fun and wished the tour could go on longer.

Awesome experience - Booked a private tour. Walid was our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the Ile de la Cite and was able to answer our questions. We explored areas off the beaten path, gathering tidbits of history along the way. Loved seeing the Marche aux Fleurs and walking through La Samaritaine. Would definitely recommend booking a private tour with Walid.

The heart of Paris tour - Eden was a fantastic tour guide for this tour. We did not go in Notre Dame because we saw it the day before. She showed us many interesting sites and shared fascinating information about the area. Things you walk past and might not notice like the first public clock in Paris! Highly recommend!

Paris Ile-de-la-Cité tour by Linda - FABULOUS! - My wife and I booked this private tour and could not be happier with the experience. Linda was/is extremely knowledgeable of the Paris Ile-de-la-Cité area and had enough charm and humor for two people. At the end we were sad to see her leave. We would have listened to her for several more hours if we could have. If you have the chance to book this tour, don’t hesitate to do so. You will not regret it!
