Travelled to visit chateaux in the Loire Valley by metro, fast train and car with Anukool. Although this is a long day, I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations which helped the travel time fly by. Anukool shared his passion for travel as well as his knowledge of history, the Loire Valley and Paris. As a single traveller, I appreciate a guide who can customize a tour to suit my travel style. We visited three chateaux as planned, touring the interiors of two and the exterior and grounds of a third. We also fit in time to view a fourth chateau. When I visit Paris again, I will be looking forward to doing other tours with Anukool.Excellent Day in Loire Valley with Anukool

Anukool was a wealth of information and knowledge both of the things on this tour as well as a multitude of other places, countries as he has done quite a bit of travel. It was a bit disappointing that we had to buy our tickets for the inside of Chenonceau, for the amount the tour cost and based on past experiences entry tickets are usually included in tour prices. We had great visits to Chenonceau and Cheverny. Our only complaint was that it didn't seem he did this trip that often and didn't do his homework and know about a big cycling race that was happening in one of the towns we were supposed to visit and what times restaurants close during the day as it was a challenge to find somewhere to eat lunch. Also his driving skills were not that great and at times didn't feel 100% safe. We took the train to Tours and then he drove a rental car to the Chateaus. Overall a nice day and good toursGreat Day Trip

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.

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

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!

I highly recommend Izabele for any guide needs that you may have while visiting Paris! She promptly met me at my hotel, and proceeded to make my first day in Paris fun and productive. I was solo in Paris for a day, and had given Izabele a list of my desired stops and experiences. She managed to hit every one in the short time that we had together, and sent several helpful suggestions after we parted. She was terrific!Fantastic Experience!

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

Giedre walked us through magnificent traditional tastes of Paris! We even walked away with a few additional snacks. Afterwards, she provided a useful list of recommendations which we used for walking, dining, and shopping. Best advise is to book her at the beginning of your trip so you have time to utilize her recommendations. Beyond awesome!

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!

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!

While the quality of food samples shared on the tour were good the venues left much to be desired. It was awkward trying to enjoy the different foods while standing on the street. Also would have enjoyed hearing more about the details of the preparation of the different kinds of foods.Too much on the street food

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.

Giedre was a gem. She was full of information and provided us with good samples. The tour itself was not what we were expecting. We assumed we would be sampling food in restaurants. Our first sample was in a restaurant and we did sit down and eat some cheese in the park and that was fine. Standing on a crowded street trying to eat a sample was not the most pleasant experience. I was expecting more drinks with our samples and I thought wine was included, but apparently it was not.Not the experience we were looking for

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

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

Wow, très bien, what a great tour, and Iza was merveilleuse (wonderful)! We had the best time wandering Montmartre, savouring its delights and hearing about its history, its characters and its sights, particularly the out of the way ones. Iza, our tour guide, was so flexible, changing our route as we had already seen some of the sights. And being a Parisian, she told us all the sights, restaurants, cafes and wine bars to go afterwards (and also the places not to go)! She was easy to talk to and knowledgeable and by the end of the tour Iza was our new friend in Paris. Would highly recommend this tour and, more importantly, Iza as a tour guide. Wonderful Montmartre with Iza
