Uncover the best of Notre Dame the local Way

"Thomas came right to our hotel to pick us up and start the tour. We started learning right away as the little plaza in front of the hotel has some great history about the local artist community. We moved from there to amazing hidden gems throughout Montmartre and then zigzagged our way down through several neighborhoods to see beautiful churches and fun hidden passages and never used royal palaces. It was a great day and Thomas helped us learn about Paris from an insider’s perspective. "

"The two of us had a really fun day trip to Paris with Maxime. He tailored the schedule to our needs and was happy to make changes on the fly during the day. He met us at the Eurostar station which made things super easy. We got to see all of what we wanted, and were given a wealth of background information we would not have known if we'd just visited the locations ourselves (and many of the locations we would never have found if we'd created our own itinerary). Maxime was relaxed, friendly and fun, and spoke excellent English - we spent much of the day laughing and it was like hanging out with a friend for the day. We were all exhausted by the end of our time together, which for us is a sign of a good trip !!! "

"We had a wonderful morning exploring the Latin Quarter with Gelsomina. From the very beginning, the tour felt relaxed and unhurried, allowing us to truly soak up the atmosphere as we wandered through the charming narrow streets and hidden corners of this beautiful part of Paris. Gelsomina brought the history of the area to life with fascinating stories and unique insights that you simply wouldn't find in a guidebook. It was the perfect balance of historical context, local knowledge, and little details that made us see this area of Paris in a completely different way. What made the experience especially memorable was how natural and enjoyable it felt. Rather than feeling like a formal tour, it was more like taking a leisurely stroll with a knowledgeable friend. Conversation flowed effortlessly, and Gelsomina was warm, engaging, and happy to answer any questions along the way. We came away with a much deeper appreciation of the Latin Quarter and some fantastic recommendations for places to visit, eat, and explore afterwards. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a more personal, authentic way to discover one of Paris's most historic and characterful neighbourhoods. Thank you, Gelsomina, for such a lovely experience!"

"Anna was such a great guide! Right from the start she took into account my limitations (73years of age and using a Mmcane).She showed us beautiful churches and gardens as well as a bakery for croissants. We learned about French history as and also showed us some famous people's homes. I would recommend Anna to everyone for a awesome tour !"

"We could not have been happier about our tour in Paris. Gelsomina was extremely knowledgable and did it in a casual manner that allowed us to learn and ask questions. Time flew by in the tour. 10/10 and would suggest any tourist do it!"

"Ali took my daughter and I on an epic tour of Paris in the blazing heat. He did his best to keep us in the shade and kept the historical tales and anecdotes flowing for hours. We learned lots of new bits about Paris and were surprised at how much ground we covered in one tour. "

"If you are looking for someone who can go beyond a script and give you real insights, this is the guy. My wife and I took a tour of the Latin Quarter with Bartosz in late May 2026. It was fantastic. We had provided some information about our backgrounds in advance and he came prepared to draw on that. As we wandered through the city he pointed out large buildings and little details. His knowledge of the history and ability to point out little, but truly important, things we would have missed was outstanding. From details in stained glass windows to explaining the impact history has on today's France, it was a really enlightening tour. Most impressive, he could answer questions in detail. I have been on several tours in the past where the guide sounded knowledgeable, but as soon as they were asked a question not on script it fell apart. But Bartosz could go into all sorts of topics as soon as we asked, We both see Paris in a whole new way after this tour. I cannot recommend it enough and will say the next time I am in Paris I will look to book another of his trips. "

"Our full-day Paris tour with Bartosz through ToursWithLocals was an incredible experience and the perfect way to spend our first full day in Paris. Bartosz is exceptionally intelligent, knowledgeable, and engaging. As a PhD student in History and Religion, he brought a depth of insight that enriched every stop along the tour. His passion for architecture and genuine love for Paris were evident throughout the day and made the city come alive for us. We also really appreciated the unique European perspective he shared from growing up in both Poland and Norway before making Paris his home. His personal experiences added even more depth and context to the history, culture, and character of the city. We especially appreciated how flexible and accommodating he was, easily adjusting the tour to include Metro stops along with our walking route so we could experience even more of the city. His thoughtful approach, expertise, and enthusiasm created a truly memorable experience. We left the tour feeling much more connected to Paris, its history, and its culture. Highly recommend Bartosz for anyone wanting a meaningful and personalized Paris tour experience!"

"Really enjoyed this tour visiting some less iconic sights. Felt much more personal. Highly recommend Isabel."

"Gelsomina was a wonderful host. We so enjoyed our time seeing the Latin quarter."
