Anukool helped us get the most out of our time in Paris. Our group spent 6 hours him during which time he showed us major historical sites, lesser known attractions, and some hidden gems of Paris. He is timely and polite, charismatic and accommodating. He demonstrated encyclopedic knowledge of world history, art, architecture, and French culture. He shared thoughtful insights about the city and its culture. It was simply a joy to explore the city with him because he clearly enjoys doing this. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to maximize their time in Paris and have a fun day walking around the city.

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 booked the tour and provided our detailed food interests to Isabel, however no shop regarding food and snacks was recommended during the tour. Isabel is friendly and very knowledgeable about historical facts however the brief wasn’t really followed. The emphasise of the tour wasn’t based on our interests, but the history of the Jews and especially during the time of the Second World War in Paris. We didn’t choose the neighbourhood of Marais but asked Isabel to recommend a neighbourhood due to our food interests. We specifically indicated our interest for macaron, croissant and cheese and charcuterie and wine. We spent a good 3 hours and received historical and Parisian facts but had to walk into several random shops without any recommendation to get something to eat ; the only food recommendation we received at the end of the tour was for falafel which we didn’t request or were interested in. We ended at a lovely wine bar which we did request but felt it would have been better if this was done half way through. If you are interested in the history of the Jewish population, this will be your tour otherwise I wouldn’t recommend it. A better follow of the brief would have been appreciated. Information and requests not followed

Isabel is a really great guide and a wonderful person to walk the streets of paris with. We did the latin quarter walk and the montmartre walk with her across two days. She is very knowledgeable about almost anything related to Paris history. She was very sweet and it felt like we were walking with a friend in Paris. She stopped for some interesting bites of food as well along the way. There wasn't a single question she couldn't answer. I highly recommend her for your paris trip. Amazing 2 days with Isabel

Although we have been to Paris several times, Anukool still managed to surprise us with his excellent knowledge and enthusiasm for this wonderful city. He took us to the museum of Paris and there he bought to life the complex history of Paris. Anukool is an excellent guide … friendly and informative. He also does a guided food tasting tour, and had some excellent restaurant suggestions for us to try during our stay. We would highly recommend Anukool! Paris … a city full of surprises..!

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

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!

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 did the tour on a public holiday, and he was the one who guided us through different streets and places. Along the way and during the tastings, we came to understand a bit more about the culture—not just the culinary side, but also the daily life of the people and their view of the world. He was very patient with his explanations, as English is not our native language. The food was abundant, delicious, and varied Lovely experience

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

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!

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

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

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!!
