Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"I booked this experience on line with Welly and could not have been happier. He was professional, responsive, and so knowledgeable about Paris. His love for history was evident in all that he shared with us. An added bonus, Welly knew all the ins and outs of those Paris areas that you might not see with anyone else. I would highly recommend booking with him. You will enjoy every single minute!"
"Anukool helped turn a cold day in Paris into a genuinely engaging and enjoyable experience for our whole group. He kept the energy up the entire time and thoughtfully planned stops along the way so we could warm up, which made a huge difference. He was flexible and let us customize parts of the tour based on our interests, while still keeping everything organized and running smoothly. "
"We had a super experience from the moment we booked the tour! My husband and I traveled to Paris with my seventy-nine-year-old father, who had never before visited the city. We opted for the five-hour "Full Coverage Paris City Tour" with Maxime. It was our first With Locals experience, and it was fantastic! When we made the booking, we designated some specific interests and also had a logistical question about an evening event after the tour. Maxime sent a friendly response and even helped us manage some of the details of the evening event. I was amazed by and grateful for the extra help. On the day of the tour itself, Maxime met with us at the designated time and place. During the tour, he shared with us a wealth of information about many different aspects of Paris, and he often focused on details that were of particular interest to us. He showed us layers of the city's history as we walked through different neighborhoods and stopped at various sites. He indicated good restaurants, bars, bakeries, and shops for us to check out on our own. He also gave us some insight into what it is like to live in Paris today. Plus, he calmly made adjustments to our itinerary as our circumstances required. We found it exciting to be with a tour guide who seems to be learning new things all the time. Maxime showed us books that he is reading to deepen and expand his knowledge of the city. He also shared with us that he continues to observe the city in order to see familiar sites anew and otherwise add to his extensive knowledge. "

"We selected a 5-hour tour of Paris as we were only there for 12 hours. Once Gelsomina learned that we had one day in town, she did everything in her power to show us everything! The entire tour was wonderful! We started in Notre Dame then explored the Latin Quarter. We meandered through the streets of Paris while Gelsomina explained the history and architecture of the surroundings. We learned SO much! We made it all the way from Notre Dame to the Arc de Triomphe (which was about 12 miles of walking)! She gave us great directions of how to get to the Eiffel Tower using the metro and we made it there as well. Gelsomina is an educator who enjoys showing off her city. My family (me, my wife, and my two teenagers) loved the entire trip!"
"Paolo brought to our tour: -a wealth of Parisian historical knowledge - his love of art and architecture - friendly and inclusive manner that kept our family of adults and teens engaged & learning for 5 hours! We walked at a leisurely pace, and he modified our route to complete everyone’s top wish list sites- everything from The Louvre to “Emily in Paris” sites! We are grateful for his excellent intro to Paris."
"We had a great time with Anukool during our bike trip through Paris. He was very friendly and had a lot of stories about the history of Paris."
"Nella was a very nice and knowledgeable tour guide. She gave us a very personable tour and took us to a perfect French restaurant that only two other tables were occupied. We told her we didn't want a very touristic spot nor loud place to eat. The restaurant was perfect. She also took us to two French pastry shops so my husband could satisfy his sweet tooth. They were amazing. We would highly recommend Nella."
"Romy was an excellent guide. We had a slight miscommunication regarding our meeting point but once we met the tour was excellent. We started at Notre Dame, but she was not allowed to go in with us but she gave us our history lesson outside. She took us to the Latin quarter and showed us all around giving us the history of the area. At the end of the tour, she made us a reservation at a wonderful cafe and we had our own private area. It was a very special day. Thank you Romy! "
"I had Welly all to myself for this tour and although I had been to Paris many times before he was able to teach and show me a lot of new things still! He is a allround pleasant guy with so many tips and suggestions for the rest of your stay. Highly recommend !"
"Maxime gave us a wonderful and unique tour of the St Germain area of Paris. We're visited before but with his help we discovered alley's and corners of the city we would perhaps have never explored. He was patient with us, knowledgeable of the area and attentive to our needs (noticing my jet lagged yawning and suggested a stop for espresso) My wife and I greatly enjoyed his tour and would recommend highly."
