Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We experienced Paris with Gelsomina as a family of 3 with an 11 year old child. Gelsomina was very thoughtful and brought some childrens' book with illustrations for our son. The tour was very well prepared, we checked all important sights. Even though it was all walking, it was entertaining so the 5 hours just flew by. She treated us to some delicious local pastries, we took a break at a fantastic café and gave us some inside tipps on how to avoid the crowds at Louvre and a great restauant recommendation. We will recommend Gelsomina to anyone and thank her for such a great experience which is now a cherished memory for our family. "
"Gelsomina(G) was full of pertinent information on our 5 hour walking tour. She was patient, stopped at a market for us so we could shop, was able to get us into Notre Dame, did not rush us through any of the many sites and took us on the metro towards the end of the tour as we were getting tired of walking. G was attentive and made us feel comfortable throughout the tour. She also made recommendations on places to eat, enjoy ice cream and best of all gallets! I would highly recommend G to be your tour guide!"
"My wife and I thoroughly enjoy our tour with Thomas. He catered the tour specifically for our needs and took us through his favorite neighborhoods of Paris. Each neighborhood he had so much information on the culture, history, architecture, shops, etc. You can tell that Thomas really knows his city and does an amazing job at sharing his love through the tour. He provided us with many recommendations and tips for the rest of our trip through Paris. "

Notre Dame's history traces back to 1163, with construction spanning over two centuries. It witnessed coronations, revolutions, and world wars, standing as a symbol of French resilience.
Notre Dame's iconic Gothic architecture, with its rose windows and gargoyles, exemplifies French artistry. It's a masterpiece of religious devotion and architectural brilliance.
Beyond its religious significance, Notre Dame is deeply woven into Parisian culture. It's a place for gatherings, celebrations, and quiet contemplation, reflecting the city's vibrant spirit.
Victor Hugo's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" immortalized the cathedral, capturing its grandeur and mystique. The novel sparked renewed interest in its preservation and restoration.

"We had the opportunity to spend the day with Bartosz, enjoying the knowledge and passion he has for this city. His historical facts add colour and context to not only the attraction also the areas of the city. Being only my wife and I we were able to cover a great deal of ground, be sure to wear some comfy shoes! Thank you Bartosz for the experience. Joethetourist "
"We took the hidden gems of Paris tour with Anna on April 17th. Anna totally customized our tour to a list of places that my husband wanted to visit. She shared many facts and lots of history throughout the day and even surprised us with a sweet treat from a pastry shop. Anna is warm, friendly and delightful. Thank you for a great day!!"
"We spent an amazing day in Paris with Gelsimina! She was extremely knowledgeable. Her communication was great before and after the tour offering suggestions. Would highly recommend booking with Gelsimina! "
"We recently had a private guided tour in Paris with Isabel and it was one of the highlights of our trip. We visited a lively food market in the 12th arrondissement and explored the Marais, learning a lot about the local culture, history, and food along the way. Isabel was knowledgeable, friendly, and created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the tour. We discovered places we would never have found on our own and truly appreciated the personal touch. We highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience a more authentic side of Paris."
"Great morning with Bartosz! I’ve been to Paris many times but walking around with Bartosz showed me a different Paris and made me fall in love with the city all over. "
"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. "
