"Welly is a super engaging, funny guide that has provided us a very welcoming evening tour in Paris. He’s very accommodating to the change in time as well as our request for pictures from 30th wedding anniversary. He has is some good iPhone photography tricks too. He provided us with some historic as well as modern context of the city of Paris. We thoroughly enjoyed having him with as our Guide. He also provided me with additional information where Vintage Shopping is best. Thank you Welly. "

"Paulo is an incredibly engaging, affable and knowledgeable guide whose insights enhanced the beautiful and historic sights that we toured together. He is also a good listener who tailored the tour to our interests. We highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn about the history and people of Saint Germain. "

"Welly was amazing, he shared so much history, details, insights, recommendations and he tailored the tour to what we wanted to know more about and see. He showed us some hidden gems too! We would highly recommend a tour with Welly - he was absolutely wonderful!"

"We were really looking forward to this tour as our small group’s intro to Paris, and Paolo did not disappoint. His knowledge of the history, the monuments and the people of Paris made the tour both engaging and educational… and most of all, fun. We really enjoyed wandering the city, and the 3 hours passed in no time at all. We’d definitely recommend Paolo and his tour!"

"I’m 74 years old, travel 9 months a year and have worked with over 100 guides - good, bad and the one that say the same cheesy blurb that you can read in a book. I casually test every guide for accuracy which eliminates a bunch of them. The art of guiding is story telling, but the high art is telling what the traveler seeks to learn. Welly excels at listening, adjusting and most importantly when he does not know something, he says so. I plan to go on at least 2 more tours with him while I’m here. "

"Olivia was a fantastic tour guide! The food was amazing (be sure to arrive hungry, because there are a lot of stops!) and all the information about the area, the food, the history, and the art was so interesting. We learned so much, and we also had a really fun time! It was like being shown around by a friend. Highly recommend! "

"Romy has been an excellent guide, tour with a lot of insights you normally can not experience on your own. If you have the chance to book a tour with Romy, do not miss!"

"My partner and I spent 10 nights in Europe, with 5 of them in Paris. It was our first trip and we wanted to engage with a local to learn more about this amazing city and experience the food. We booked a food tour with Gelsomina, and it was the best decision we made. Gelsomina felt like a friend, she had such interesting information about Paris and the food scene and we ate the most amazing bites! She customizes the tour to your tastes, but we had: coffee, pastries, cheeses, wine, tapenades, bread, oysters, more amazing desserts, crepes, galettes, macarons, and more. We were so full and even had left overs we ate later that day. I would 100% book again with Gelsomina! "

"I recently had the pleasure of joining Paola for a tour of the Louvre, and I can't say enough good things about the experience. Her passion for art history really shone through as she shared fascinating insights about the pieces we encountered. It felt so effortless, as if we were friends catching up instead of just a tour guide and a visitor."

"We were four friends meeting up in Paris with various speeds and needs. Welly curated a walking tour that took everyone into account and then made adjustments with ease and grace. Welly was very knowledgable about Le Marais and the Latin Quarter and even made us a lunch reservation. You should definitely book a tour with Welly. "
