      Maxime was a wonderful guide!

      "Maxime was an excellent guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable and excited about the information he shared with us. He was responsive, making sure our needs were being met. He answered our questions with grace and with humor when appropriate. We had a wonderful afternoon with Maxime and highly rate him as a guide. Merci!"

      Highlight of our time in Paris!

      "Paolo made the history of Paris come alive for our family! We explored iconic and off the beaten path locations and learned so much about the story of this magnificent city. We will forever remember the inspirational rooftop views and charming macaron and chocolate shops, too!"

      An Unforgettable Stroll in Paris

      "Maxime truly gave us a tour of "hidden gems". He took us to really interesting spots that would only be known to Parisians. He shared his knowledge of history always with a smile and a sense of humour. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Maxime! We would highly recommend him to those wishing to experience a non- touristic and unique walking tour in Paris."

      "Paolo made my visit to Paris truly memorable. Thank you for taking the time to show me around and for capturing such wonderful photos that I’ll always treasure. What I appreciated most was how much I learned throughout the tour. Your knowledge of Paris, its history, architecture, and art brought everything to life and made each place feel far more meaningful than simply seeing it on my own. The experience felt like the Paris dream I had imagined before arriving, and I left with a much deeper appreciation for the city. I would happily recommend Paolo to anyone looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely cares about creating a special experience for his guests."

      Maxime was great! Tour not do much.

      "Maxime was great! Very courteous, very knowledgeable, considerate and engaging. The tour itself was disappointing. We had eight people on our tour and when you try to divide up a small brioche eight ways and have everyone touching the same food it’s not very appealing. Also had eight people sharing a small dessert and touching the food. I did a food tour in Lecce, Italy, and everyone had their own portion of food and it wasn’t shared by eight different people touching the food. But the cheese stop, they made a mistake and gave six portions of the five cheeses. Maxime had to take a knife and divide it up so each of us would have enough cheese. For the price we paid. I did not think it was a good value. But that should take nothing away from our tour guide. He was very very nice. I guess it’s just the way your tour is, compared to other food tours we’ve been on.

      Hogo is an excellent guide

      "Our family of four (parents, son, and daughter-in-law) thoroughly enjoyed our Louvre tour with Hugo. He brought the museum to life through his deep knowledge of art history, engaging storytelling, and obvious passion for the subject. Rather than simply viewing famous works, we gained a richer understanding of how artists, ideas, and artistic movements influenced one another across different eras. Hugo skillfully guided us through the museum, highlighting details and connections we never would have discovered on our own. He made the art accessible and fascinating for everyone in our group, combining education, humor, and insight in just the right balance. The experience was one of the highlights of our time in Paris, and we would highly recommend Hugo to anyone seeking an exceptional Louvre guide."

      Lovely to see Paris at night

      "Carlos did a great job of showing us Paris at night considering that he was given the booking at the last minute. We were originally booked with Welly and had communicated in what we wanted to see and what the itinerary was going to be. Unfortunately, that was not transferred to Carlos. However, Carlos was able to show us some great sights, had lots of information on local area restaurants, original macaroon shop, and other Paris info and highlights. We got to see the Eiffel Tower from several different angles at night. We appreciated that Carlos picked us up at our hotel and helped us catch the metro home. "
