Anukool was an exceptional guide. He didn’t just explain the French Revolution—he brought it to life. Through vivid storytelling, he recreated the tensions, politics, and personalities that fueled the storming of the Bastille and the decade of upheaval that followed. His deep knowledge and ability to make complex history accessible and engaging made this one of the most memorable tours we’ve taken. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to truly feel the history beneath their feet.Walking Through History with Anukool

Alexia was absolutely wonderful. She made our food tour perfect. And we learned so much about the area. It was a perfect way to spend the morning learning and eating local foods. She was especially great with our 8 year old son. Expecto Petronous! Wonderful and Thoughtful

Our goal was to have an introductory walk to learn about Paris so we can follow up with our own itinerary. Anukool was great! He was friendly, knowledgable, and showed us some great neighborhoods. His knowledge goes beyond Parisian history, and was able to weave some interesting connections between global historical events and Parisian. We had a fun tour.Fun, enthusiastic, friendly

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

Our group of 5 had a wonderful patisserie tour of Paris. Anukool is very knowledgeable and was able to provide an excellent tour of some very unique patisseries in Paris. I would highly recommend him. He was very communicative prior to meeting up with us. He was also very accommodating as we had to add an additional person on at the last minute. He helped with restaurant recommendations too! Thanks so much Anukool for making our Paris trip even better! Please sign up for this tour and you will NOT regret it!

True Marais specialist! Alexia knows the details of the Marais’ history, along with where the best spots are for pastries (gluten free or regular). Lovely to get such a unique perspective on everything from the public buildings to the parks and stunning back alleys you would otherwise miss. Knowledgable and adaptable

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

This tour was satisfactory but didn’t blow us away. Our guide, Anukool was friendly and had some great historical knowledge. However, we had to put him back on track a few times as he would drift into conversation about sports or travel elsewhere, we really wanted to learn as much as possible about the St. Germain area and the tour was a bit loose / not structured. Anukool also arrived 15 minutes late and we ran almost an hour over time. Which was fine but might’ve left people who had later plans not getting the full experience. Walking tour. Latin District

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!

Alexia was a delight as she toured us through the charming neighborhood of Montmartre. She made sure to cater the experience to our tastes and was full of stories of the different areas we walked through. 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. Alexia is a tremendously thoughtful and knowledgeable guide and we enjoyed our time with her thoroughly!A wonderful tour of Montmartre!!

My wife and I booked an afternoon tour with Anukool around Montmatre. Met Anukool and he is a very knowledgeable and friendly guy who gave us a great tour of the area and told us many things we would not have learned if we had done this on our own. He recommended some great places to visit and eat. Montmatre as a area is well worth visiting and whilst there are the obvious attractions such as Sacre Couer there also many hidden gems. Really liked Anukool and the area. I will definitely visit Montmatre again.Interesting and fun afternoon Anukool

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

He can also show you many non-touristy corners and give you good tips for the time you spend on your own. We took a customized tour with him and really enjoyed being with him.Great guy!

Thank you so much Alexia for this FoodTour! It was a real pleasure to do the “South” foodtour, really, really gourmet 😍 The quantities are very generous and above all, it's so good! Big +1 to the Niçoise pissaladière, enjoyed over a good beer in the Canal Saint Martin district, and to the Portuguese specialties. We're really traveling around the Mediterranean! Tunisia, Lebanon, Portugal, Côte d'Azur, Italy.... I'm rediscovering this lively neighborhood full of good things Alexia's smiles and great anecdotes at our stops ☺️... I can't recommend it enough!

We had conversations that compared France to other countries throughout the world. We got to enjoy some delicious dishes and pastries we would’ve never thought to try on our own, but with Anukool’s guidance we found some new favorites.
