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!!

We had a wonderful time today in the Marais district- our waistlines may never recover! My best friend and I enjoyed a delicious series of pastries with Ali who was a friendly, thoughtful and informative guide. Everything we tried was truly special in: quality , freshness , taste and unique flavor. Delicious Pastry Tour

Ali was very accommodating with the kids. It was a challenging day as it was pouring, but we were able to get the best we could despite the unexpected weather conditions. He gave us good tips and demonstrated knowledge about the area and the history behind each building and neighborhood. We had to make it shorter as the rain was painful for the boysDiscovering the magic of rainy Paris

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

Es gab leider nur drei Stationen, wir haben viel über die Kunst in Montmatre erfahren, aber wir waren enttäuscht, dass es wenig Probierstationen gab. Zudem gehörten diese auch nicht zu den Highlights des Viertels.More culture less food

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

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

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!!

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

Every stop on the tour was thoughtfully curated, offering a perfect blend of traditional flavors and hidden gems. From flaky croissants to decadent chocolates, each bite was a testament to the rich culinary heritage of Paris. Yet, what truly elevated this experience was our guide’s warmth, enthusiasm, and insider anecdotes that brought Montmartre’s history to life.Hidden Gems: Extraordinary Local Guide

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! Generous quantities! I can't recommend it enough!

Alexia took our family on an incredible food tour. She really took the time to explain the food culture and history of the Strasbourg-St.Denis neighborhood; it was wonderful and I felt like we really got to learn so much about the city. She was also incredibly kind to our small kids, and flexible with them - we all had a great time and learned a lot. She also gave us wonderful food recommendations for us to explore during the rest of our stay. It was the highlight of our trip to Paris!The highlight of our trip to Paris!

I hired Paul Bagnulo with 7t to create my logo. Since then he has provided me with multiple iterations of it for use in web production as well as in print. His use of my own creative work in the digital animations of my logo was particularly impressive...I continue to use them on a regular basis. Most recently, Paul assisted me with the creation of a one of a kind etched and cut metal business card which has proven to be an attention grabber and a great point of reference for potential clients. Paul's attention to details that I didn't even know existed and his foresight into what is needed to efficiently and expertly see a project through has impressed me every time I've worked with him.Recommendations
