      Maxime was a great Louvre tour guide

      "Maxime was thoughtful, knowledgeable, engaging and our 12 and 15 yo spontaneously pointed out features of sculptures, paintings, and historical and philosophical context that Maxime relayed to us during the Louvre tour on subsequent museum visits in other countries. Maxime was also punctual, available on super short notice, arranged entry tickets for us, and we generally loved meeting him - a highlight of our Paris visit. "

      A fun and varied day out

      "The two of us had a really fun day trip to Paris with Maxime. He tailored the schedule to our needs and was happy to make changes on the fly during the day. He met us at the Eurostar station which made things super easy. We got to see all of what we wanted, and were given a wealth of background information we would not have known if we'd just visited the locations ourselves (and many of the locations we would never have found if we'd created our own itinerary). Maxime was relaxed, friendly and fun, and spoke excellent English - we spent much of the day laughing and it was like hanging out with a friend for the day. We were all exhausted by the end of our time together, which for us is a sign of a good trip !!! "

      Great start to our trip!

      "Gelsomina welcomed us right near our AirBnb in St Germaine; so flexible as we had just landed a few hours earlier. She immediately got us going and did a wonderful walk through the 6th arrondissement. She was incredibly knowledgeable and her love of the city really came through the tour. She pointed out her favorite places along the way. It was a great start to our trip. Highly recommend. "

      A walkaround with Anna~

      "Anna is an exceptional guide and the same goes for how she related to our family~ Truly, a delight to walk around parts of Paris w Anna, and…if you like flan and other special treats? Well then, you are in for a treat! Anna took us around St Germain des Pres and added so much context and knowledge to what would otherwise have been only a nice walk through this part of Paris! If you want more, much more, from your walk around any part of Paris…consider a guided tour with Anna- you will truly be grateful for your time with Anna, and exceptional guide for your time in this most intriguing city! Thank you!!"

      "Maxine was extremely kind in customizing an experience for myfamily. We had a few who were somewhat physically challenged and Maxine was able to customize an experience for us within his local area that covered many of the wonderful foods that Paris has to offer. We enjoys wonderful food and amazing stories and local flavors. Highly recommend the tour and Mazime."

      Nice walk around Paris

      "We had a great time walking Paris with Murielle, she allowed us time to look at stores and explore. Loved our time in Le Marais that we are certain would not have discoved without her due to our limited time. Recomend for a casual tour with lots of flexibility to customize to your likes. "

      Review about Gelsomina

      "We had a wonderful morning exploring the Latin Quarter with Gelsomina. From the very beginning, the tour felt relaxed and unhurried, allowing us to truly soak up the atmosphere as we wandered through the charming narrow streets and hidden corners of this beautiful part of Paris. Gelsomina brought the history of the area to life with fascinating stories and unique insights that you simply wouldn't find in a guidebook. It was the perfect balance of historical context, local knowledge, and little details that made us see this area of Paris in a completely different way. What made the experience especially memorable was how natural and enjoyable it felt. Rather than feeling like a formal tour, it was more like taking a leisurely stroll with a knowledgeable friend. Conversation flowed effortlessly, and Gelsomina was warm, engaging, and happy to answer any questions along the way. We came away with a much deeper appreciation of the Latin Quarter and some fantastic recommendations for places to visit, eat, and explore afterwards. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a more personal, authentic way to discover one of Paris's most historic and characterful neighbourhoods. Thank you, Gelsomina, for such a lovely experience!"

      Anukool is great!

      "Our food tour with Anukool was one of the absolute highlights of our time in Paris. From the moment we met him, it was clear that this was going to be much more than a typical food tour. His knowledge extends far beyond Paris and French cuisine. He has an incredible understanding of history, culture, travel, and the world in general, which made every stop along the way even more interesting. The conversations were just as memorable as the food. What we appreciated most was that Anukool took us into a true local neighborhood, far away from the typical tourist spots. We sampled incredible foods and visited family-owned shops and markets that we never would have discovered on our own. It felt like spending the afternoon with a knowledgeable local friend rather than following a tour guide. If you’re looking for an authentic Parisian experience, amazing food, and engaging conversation, don’t hesitate to book with Anukool. We left with full stomachs, a deeper appreciation for Paris, and memories we’ll talk about for years. Highly recommended!"

      Awesome Tour!

      "From the moment we met Fe for our tour of the Louvre, she started telling us such interesting facts that it kept us wanting to learn more. Fe has a vast wealth of knowledge but she doesn't make you feel bad if you have not heard of a particular person or period. The time just flew by. If we come back to Paris I would definitely check to see if she was still doing tours! "
