Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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!"
"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. "

"We had a wonderful tour with Iza in Paris today and truly enjoyed every moment. She was delightful, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the experience feel both effortless and memorable. Iza shared the city with warmth and enthusiasm, and her personality made the tour especially enjoyable. We left with a deeper appreciation for Paris and would absolutely recommend her to anyone visiting the city."
"Bartosz was a wonderful guide through the Latin Quarter. His love of history comes through with the stories and anecdotes he shared in our hours together. My husband and I booked this private tour and we were not disappointed. Bartosz reached out before the tour to find out if there were specific things we wanted to see or know about. He tailored our tour to our interests and questions. It was fabulous! We would highly recommend Bartosz as your guide through Paris!"
"Carlos was an excellent guide. He impressed us with his in-depth knowledge and fascinating historical details. The city tour was entertaining and humorous, and he always provided thoughtful answers to our questions. We’d love to do it again on our next trip to Paris. Thanks to Carlos Hernan. 5️⃣ Guys from Cologne"

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. "
"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!!"
