We arrived on Eurostar for our first trip to Paris on Monday. After leaving our bags at the hotel, we met William our discover walks guide at the Opera ( garnier). There were only about 10 of us in the group. This was a great introduction for a first timer to Paris. William took us from the opera house through... More

We picked up this tour as although we have visited several times before we did not know the history of the area. Although the group was quite large the guide managed to talk to everyone as we walked along and he was very informative. The pace was good and the guide was entertaining. These tours are well worth doing to... More

This was our first trip to Paris and we found these tours to be excellent (we did a few because they were so good). The guides were all very informative and told us so much about Paris and its fascinating history. These tours have been the highlight of our trip and we would recommend the tours to all tourists wanting... More

William was our tour guide for a private 3 hour tour. He helped us to acclimate with the area, while showing us the highlights. His stories were informative and entertaining. Our 3 teenage sons loved the tour as much as we did. The tips on when and how to visit the museums have helped us in staying out of long... More

We did a private tour of Notre Dame. It was recommended that we do the tour before 9:30' which was a great idea. We walked right into the church without delay. However, when we finished our tour the line to get in had grown to be several hundred people deep. This tour included the entire area around Notre Dame. We... More

We did the Montmartre Tour on Monday 3 June with a young Parisian guy (sorry name escapes me) who was born and grew up in the area. It was so entertaining and so interesting to hear a Parisian view of the area. The tour was so good that we did the Marais tour on 8 June with Audrey. We were... More

This was a great little tour! Our guide grew up, lives and studies in Paris and knows the area really well. Pointed out some landmarks that I wasn't even aware of. Didn't find the tour too strenuous as there is lots of stopping and starting to talk about different sights. At the end get a little pack which as well... More

Definintely a must do as you learn about places and things you would otherwise miss if walking around on your... More

Had a wonderful time discovering the hidden gems of Montmatre away from the all the crowds...Our guide, whose name escapes me, had an intimate knowledge of the area since she used to live in there...our tour ended with our guide singing a Nina Simone tune in the garden behind the Sacre Coeur...It was an amazing ending to a delightful tour.

Bertrand was a fantastic tour guide. It was like walking the city with an old friend. Bertrand coordinated tickets for the places we wanted to visit so there was no waiting which left more time to enjoy Paris. We learned how to navigate the subway, saw gardens we never would have found, learned about the history of Paris and how... More
