Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"It’s hard to imagine a better experience than spending an afternoon in Paris with Nella as your tour guide. She is passionate about the city, its history, its architecture, and its secrets, and curious about and generous with her guests. You’ll get a true insider’s view from a most delightful host. If I could give her higher than a 10 rating, I would. Thank you Nella!"
"We had an awesome time! It was a rainy cold day that could have dampened our spirits, but Maxime ensured we had a great time. He mixed in the right amount of french history, neighborhood and architecture with the most important part FOOD! We even had our 8 year old child along and she tasted and loved everything too. The cheese of course was the highlight for me, but the fresh seafood was a close second! It inspired us to keep tasting more of Paris and book more private tours. "
"We had a fun tour with Paul tasting Parisian foods for local favorites at the markets and restaurants of the St Antoine area. Food was great and Paul was a knowledgeable American ex-patriot who has lived in Paris for 25 years. "
"A friend had the opportunity to join Chef Jean Yves in his home where they curated a 5 course menu. It was an amazing experience I hope everyone enjoys while in Paris! "

"Iza was a great guide and host. She was very willing to adapt when our flight was late to arrive and still made a very nice experience for our family including 2 adults and 2 teenagers. She mixed in history, architecture, and food and kept the whole tour light and fun. We very much enjoyed our time and appreciated her enthusiasm."
"Nella was terrific! We ate and ate (and drank). Learned history and walked through the less touristy parts of Paris, which we loved. She tailored everything to our preferences on the fly and enjoyed watching us enjoy each new treat. It is a great way to spend the first day to manage jetlag and to get oriented in the city. It felt like hanging out with a friend with so many common interests. Thank you, Nella!"
"I went to Paris on a work trip and I needed some help to figure out what to eat for the rest of the trip and he made it so easy to adjust and understand the area. It was great had a blast. He was a great host."
"Really enjoyed the tour. The selection, quality and amount of various items was fantastic. Anukool was informative and easy to communicate with. We had an outstanding experience! "
"My husband and I had a wonderful day with Maxime, trying a great variety of restaurants and shops in the neighborhood around the Sentier underground station. Maxime is a terrific guide with deep knowledge of the area and the restaurants and shops. He's very curious about the surroundings, the food, and history, and it's clear that he studies lots in preparation for his tours. The only disappointment was that several of the places he'd chosen were closed and we missed out on oysters! "
"All nine of our family members (ages 12-76) had a great time with our guide, Paul. We learned a lot, ate a lot of very good local food, and just had a really fun time, "
