Ali was great. He was very knowledgeable and took care of everything. He picked us up at the hotel and dropped us in the evening. Mont st Michel was breathtaking! I recommend using his services for every tour you want to take. I suggest wearing comfortable shoes because you will do a lot of walking. Don’t pass up this opportunity because it is a once in a lifetime experience!!Loved it!!

Wow ! We had an amazing time with Ali today ! We were on a 12 hour layover and we hit the ground running. Ali is beyond amazing with detail - guiding us on what train to catch into the city, where to grab a fabulous French breakfast, and where to meet him to start our sightseeing ! We travelled the city by foot and train! Although this was our third trip to Paris, he showed us sights we have never seen before. When it was time to head back to the airport, he took us to the train station and gave us instructions on getting back. He is so personable, and our day seemed to fly by. I would highly recommend Ali !Amazing full day tour of Paris !!

Our first trip to Paris was unforgettable, thanks to Alexia! She gave us the perfect mix of history, culture, food, and fun. From Notre Dame and the Marais to Montmartre and the Eiffel Tower. Along the way, she introduced us to amazing local treats like Maison Georges Larnicol, Ladurée, and Les Merveilleux de Fred. We also stopped for shopping along the way and having Alexia with us for language assistance made it much easier. What really stood out was Alexia’s knowledge and passion. Every stop had a story, and she made the city come alive with details we never would have found on our own. She balanced sightseeing with hidden gems and gave us time to soak in each moment, whether it was strolling through a garden, enjoying lunch in Montmartre, or taking in the rooftop view at Galeries Lafayette. She knew which shops to go into and which to avoid. This was helpful in the pastry shops! She also helped us navigate the city and the different arrondissements. We never had to look at our phones for directions! Even more, she felt more like a friend than just a guide- warm, thoughtful, and fun to spend time with. For a first-time visit, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Alexia!1st time in Paris! Great experience!

We loved our relaxing morning stroll with Alexia. She made us feel very comfortable and was super friendly. it was easy to find the meeting spot. We visited a shop to get ice cream and macrons, enjoyed viewing gardens and notable houses as well as St. Peter church and Village de St.Paul. She catered the tour to our requests and ended by taking us to Notre Dame area and gave us directions of how to best get to our next activity. We could not have seen as much without her help. 10/10 Highly recommend!Relaxing Stroll through Le Marais

Alexia has been super kind to us and our 7 yrs old son, engaging and always keen on sharing details, stories, and cultural background of every recipe or food spot we stopped by. It felt like a walk with a dear friend we have been knowing for a while! Also, the places we visited were amazing and not tourist-y at all, so exactly what we were looking for. We'll definitely do this again, and we would be excited to have Alexia with us once again! Recommended!Lovely experience and super recommended

We got a tour of some neighborhoods, went to local markets, at amazing food at parks and explored some hidden gems. Can’t recommend Alex enough! We are going to tell all of our friends about her as a tour guide and can’t wait for our next experience when we’re back in Paris! Amazing expeience with Alex!!!

Thank you for a great tour and lots of interesting food. We had a group including a 10yr old, a teenager and young adults and Alexia kept everyone engaged well. There was plenty of food and a good mixture of sweet and savoury. It was fun to have flavour choices along the way too. We booked over lunch time so that we had room to eat comfortably and that worked really well. Lots of small different flavours meant that no one was left hungry. The macarons and quiche were amazing, my favourite though was the little orange pastry at end in the chocolate shop. Great tour and food

Alexia is the best choice for experiencing the "real" Paris. She's incredibly knowledgeable about the city's history and main attractions, but most of all, she truly loves her city. She showed me places I would have never discovered on my own. She took me to spots with amazing food and shared a list of her favourite restaurants so I’d know where to go for the rest of my trip. Alexia also took me to great shopping areas and unique boutiques with handmade hats and bags. I'll recommend Alexia to all my friends who'll be visiting Paris in the future. Sightseeing in Paris - only with Alexia!

Paul was a delight to have as a tour guide. He was friendly, personable, and showed us areas that we would not have typically gone to. The Aligre neighborhood was lovely to walk through with its charming alleys and squares. Paul shared some historical points about the architecture, the design of the Boulangerie, and of local artists, including Invader. We enjoyed some typical French casual foods such as Macarons, Tarte aux noix, pain au chocolat, croque monsieur à 3 fromages, galettes (the best crêpes ever were the savory galettes by the marché), ciders, wine, a charcuterie board, and wonderful Falafel. The covered marché was unfortunately closing when were there, but we enjoyed walking through it and hearing about its history none the less. After the tour was over, he walked us past the opera and gave us directions for a stroll along the Seine. What a fun evening and delightful company.Great food in less traveled areas

Alexia was magnificent. The pace, selections and the path that we traveled to take in nearly the entire area was perfectly orchestrated and exceptionally well thought-out. We enjoyed her company and she was able to cater to taste and make the tour exactly what would appeal to each in our party from age 16-62. A truly wonderful experience that I will recommend to many, even if you’ve visited the area before which we had, Alexia put her unique flair and perspective on the walk that make it more than we were expecting. Good weather and some good walking shoes were also helpful. Indulge and enjoy, you will find it memorable. Food, Sites, Weather, Company - Amazing

We had the pleasure of spending time with Alexia during our stay in Paris, and she was truly fantastic. From the moment we met, she made everything feel easy and welcoming, especially as we were traveling with children. She helped us navigate local menus and order authentic French dishes we might have otherwise missed (escargot & desert & now the kiddos only order lemonade which is more like American sprite)! She was incredibly thoughtful and accommodating, always making sure the kids felt included and engaged. Whether it was finding the right place to eat, helping translate with warmth and patience, or sharing local insights along the way, Alexia was a total gem! Absolutely wonderful! Her kindness, professionalism, and local knowledge made our Paris experience even more special with a local. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a personable, family-friendly, and genuinely helpful guide in the city!Absolute Gem!

We did a 3 hour food/tasting tour of the Saint-Germain des pres area with Alexia and enjoyed it very much! We got to see and hear about many places that we would have never discovered on our own. Alexia was very knowledgeable about the area, was an engaging speaker, and asked about our preferences to ensure we were all interested in the things that she covered during the tour. I have already recommended her to two other families who are travelling in Paris this summer, and would definitely seek her out for another tour the next time we are there.Highly Enjoyable Tour with Alexia

We took the Pastery tour with lovely Alexia who skillfully guided us between hidden spots, bakeries and parks in an interesting and fun way. The challange was not the easiest, really warm weather and us already starting the day with another tour and on the day of the festival "the day of the music", that brought half of Paris to the streets, Alexia had done her homework in advance, having multiple bakery options, in case of pasteries beeing sold out and even replanning on the go for a ice cream stop in the heat by choosing the lesser known location to avoid the huge lines at the main shop. The thing that really stood out with the tour was the truely great effort and huge heart Alexia showed during the tour and doing so in a genuin way that made it feel like beeing shown around by a friend. We had a wonderful afternoon with Alexia amongst delicious pastry, magical surroundings and streets filled with music. Choose a few hours, an afternoon or a full day with Alexia showing you arround, you woun´t regret it!Fun guidance with alot of heart and effort

Ali provided a very enjoyable food and history tour of Montmartre, Paris. All the bites were classics like quiche, macaroons, charcuterie, chocolate- but all very high quality and delicious. We were pleasantly surprised by how much history was provided as we would our way up Montmartre to the Sacré-Coeur Basilica at the top where beautiful views of the city awaited.Food and History with Wonderful Guide

Alexia hat mich und meine Familie auf eine Food Tour durch Monmartre mitgenommen. Sie war unglaublich freundlich, hat uns tolle Ecken gezeigt und viele Tipps gegeben. Das Essen war vorrangig Süßes, hier hätte ich mir mehr herzhafte Alternativen und auf dem Weg vielleicht noch einen leckeren Wein gewünscht. Die Kinder hat es aber begeistert ;-) Vielen Dank, wir hatten durch dich einen tollen Tag!! Tolle Führung

Alexia made me discover a neighbourhood of Paris I had rarely visited despite travelling to this city my entire life. The walking tour from Belleville to the Père la Chaise cemetery was a wonderful way to see a part of Paris off the beaten track. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to avoid the crowds of tourists and keen to discover the 20e arrondissement!A custom tour of unknown Parisian neighborhoods

We loved our Mountmarte tasting, walking tour for 3 reasons: 1- Alexia, what a gem! And a true local, she was knowledgeable and gave us so many experiences we would never have known on our own. 2- the tastes! Again, nothing we would have known to try as visitors, and new and different things then i’ve tried before. Great balance of sweet and savory. 3-Anecdotes and history, alongside incredible views and sights. Incredible way to experience the city! I would not hesitate to book a tour with Alexia; the perfect way to get to know a new city! Lovely!

She knew the best spots to stop for a little snack (an amazing pastry shop and chocolatier!) and was a huge help in asking for recommendations for the duration of our Paris trip.

Alex had a wonderful itinerary planned for us. She sent me about 5 options to choose from and I picked one that ended in and around the neighborhood where we were staying. I also let her know we love food! It was great to be able to tailor our tour to our interests. She took us to a handful of sweets shops with different delicacies along with a shop for us to purchase good pate and cheese. We got a lot of history along the way and got to see a few hidden gems as well. She talked with each of us individually as we walked. She gave us suggestions for the rest of our stay...many of which we have checked off our list. We loved our tour with Alex!Grest walking tour
