"Our tour with Gelsomina through the Latin Quarter and Notre Dame area was hands down the highlight of our entire trip! She was incredibly knowledgeable, warm, friendly, and truly the best storyteller we’ve ever had on a guided tour.
Her stories brought Paris’s history to life in such an engaging way — with just the right mix of detail and personal touch — that even those of us who aren’t French history buffs were completely captivated (and still remember so much of what she shared!).
I honestly don’t have enough adjectives to describe how wonderful Gelsomina is. She made the city feel alive and personal, and we left wishing we had booked more tours with her. We absolutely hope to see her again on our next trip to Paris.
If you’re on the fence about who to book — BOOK GELSOMINA! You will not regret it!"
"My wife and I scheduled the Full Coverage Paris City Tour on September 13 (our first full day in Paris) from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM with Anna. It got rescheduled to September 17. Communication with Anna was excellent. We let her know what areas of Paris we had already visited and which area we would prefer to see. She did a great job of coming up with what had to be a completely different tour than originally planned for The Full Coverage Paris City Tour. Highlights of our tour included the Luxembourg Gardens, the Medici Fountain and Arenas de Lutece (a hidden gem I didn’t come across when researching Paris). It was truly a pleasure to be able to get to know Anna and spend 5 hours touring Paris with her."
"We spent the day with Welly and couldn’t have asked for a better guide! He’s a natural storyteller! We instantly felt like we were exploring Paris with an old friend. The whole day was relaxed, fun, and full of fascinating little-known details about the city. We knew we could find the Eiffel Tower, the Arch, and other major landmarks on our own; we wanted to discover the hidden gems we didn’t even know we were missing—and Welly absolutely delivered. I can easily say, we'd choose Welly again to find even more hidden gems on another trip to this beautiful city!"

MARK about Anukool
"My wife and I scheduled The Beauty Of Paris By Bike Tour on September 15 from 9:30 to 12:00 with Anukool D. After seeing how people rode bikes in Paris, my wife was not comfortable riding. Without any hesitation, Anukool pivoted to leading a walking tour. We walked through parts of Paris we hadn’t visited in our previous 3 days. We saw and learned a lot in 2 1/2 hours. Anukool is a wealth of knowledge about Paris and its history. We really had a wonderful time getting to know him and parts of Paris we hadn’t previously seen. The best part of the tour may have been showing us a street with tasty, affordable food near our AirBnB."
"My adult daughter and I spent five enjoyable, informative and entertaining hours with Welly, who is enthusiastic, energetic and extremely welcoming. Welly has a great knowledge of Paris history, culture and architecture. He is very flexible about tailoring a tour to your individual interests and pace. He showed us historic sites and buildings, gardens, hidden areas (the covered byways were so fascinating) and great coffee and sweet shops. If we return to Paris we will be sure to take a tour with Welly again!"

Carlos is a delight
"On the way to meet Carlos for our tour, I discovered I was another victim of a Paris Metro pickpocket. While I was careful to guard my wallet, holding on while standing exposed my holstered mobile phone. Carlos helped us get to the third police station to file a report (the first two claimed to be unable to do so) and to communicate with the authorities to facilitate this process. After we completed the report, we set about on the tour and Carlos helped us to take our minds off the potential consequences of the information possibly in the wrong hands. We benefited from his personable demeanor and knowledge of the sights we planned to visit. Anyone electing to choose Carlos should be more than pleased with that engagement. "
"Our guide, Thomas was an excellent tour guide who was very knowledgeable, friendly, informative and flexible. The rain was off and on and we made the best of doing inside visits to different buildings and landmarks in addition to walking through beautiful gardens and neighborhoods.
We found him to be very positive and would recommend him to anyone visiting Paris.
"
"We had a great time walking around the Latin Quarter of Paris with Abi. Very knowledgeable and friendly, she took us to places we would never have found and brought them to life effortlessly. We would definitely recommend her tours. "
