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!

Iza was just a wonderful guide as she showed us around her city. We stopped at local food shops and learned the history about the croissants, cheese, macaroons and other foods we enjoyed. In addition she told us about local perfume shops and compiled a extensive list of sights and places. Definitely book Iza as a guide. Warm, friendly and just a wonderful host. Wonderful tour

First time in Paris and Iza made us feel so welcome. She showed us the local food markets and restaurants. She was so kind, patient, and we appreciate her giving us this tour in the cold and rain. Definitely recommend, Iza ❤️. Lovely experience

Andrea was very personable and informative. He asked what our preferences were and guided us to places that fit our likes. Our interaction with Andrea was easy and comfortable. He also gave us tips for other restaurants to try. Great kickstart tour through Saint Germain

Overall, the tour was okay. We did the Kickstart to culinary Paris. We walked for about 20 minutes down Rue de Honare which is the luxury shopping street. Interesting, yet not why we were there and I don't care so much for fashion and designer stores, which we talked about for the 20 minute walk. During this 20 minutes, there were also no food stops, just to find out the first place was closed. I would have assumed the guide would know this in advance. During the tour, we stopped at only 3 places. First was Laduree, then a pastry shop, then charcuterie. so I was also expecting more stops, not many times at one stop. I would be unlikely to use this company again based off my experience. Not exactly what I expected

We travel all over the world, and we hire a private tour guide in every city (Barcelona, Dublin, Rome, Florence, London, Prague, Krakow, etc) - this is the only way to learn everything in a short period of time, and we love our tours. This was our most disappointing experience. It is possible that Andrea is more of a food guide than a city/history guide, but our Paris Hidden Gems history tour was disorganized, not as informative as we are used to, and overall, a waste of our time in Paris. We asked for a custom tour to start in reverse of the normal tours and reached out ahead of time to plan the itinerary. Our questions were ignored until he finally said we would just sort things out when we met. Like other reviews mention, things were disjointed. It was a "we could do this" or "that". When we expressed not wanting to walk along the river because we had just taken a river cruise that morning, there was a lot of "we will just do it for a few minutes" and then 1.5 miles later we were still walking the river seeing nothing new. When we asked to shift things during the tour, we were met with veiled insults about how we should have "used this thing called our phone" to have pre-planned what we wanted to do ourselves. We asked for a sit down break and the included drink for our older ladies travelling with us (late 60s), and it was a lot of "yes in just a few minutes" that never materialized, even after another mile of walking. On top of this, the actual tour did not contain much information. Even our kids (11, 16, 16 and 17) found his depth of knowledge lacking on key sights, and we even had to correct a few things that we had freshly learned on our river boat tour. Walks between sights were mostly quiet with no additional information sharing. My mom who is a travel agent and has also taken many tours told me she was ready to ditch us and go off on her own until we were done because it was so bad. We ended the tour early after the insults became too much. At which time he called us infantile and rude and stormed off. All 7 of the people in the group were relieved to be done with him. No, I would not recommend him.Disappointing is an understatement

Andrea is passionate about meeting people and providing a great food tasting experience. We felt very comfortable spending time together, and discussing the history and significance of all the places we visited. More than just moving from place to place to eat, Andrea is very open to discussing the specifics of what you are seeing and Paris in general. I was reminded of a famous quote. "Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another." Your time with Andrea will be well spent (and you will eat a ton of food too!)Great experience with Andrea

We are so glad we booked to walk with Abi on our first day in Paris! She was so great to customize our walk to show us off the beaten path parts of town and help us get familiar with the layout of the city! Abi is friendly, fun and the perfect match for our 3 generation girls trip this summer! Perfect Paris walk!

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

I was in Paris for 17 days and my day with Nella was one of my favorites. I had never been to Montmarte and she made it so special, unique and definitely local! No tourists traps! Her beautiful descriptions as an artist about the life of Van Goth and Picasso during their time in the village was so enlightening and entertaining. She was easy to be with and just a lovely person. I would hire her to accompany me to any arts centered tour in Paris! Made my entire visit!

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 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!

Based on their personable introduction, I booked a tour for my mother & daughter trip with Maxime. A tour guide who gets the importance of coffee, relaxation, and rest? Booked. Maxime was early to arrive, prepared, and friendly. Maxime is as inquisitive as they are knowledgeable of Paris, culture, history, literature, and social issues. They brought more to the activity than we expected. Both my mother and I were more knowledgeable and prepared to orient ourselves in a new city after our tour. We highly recommend Maxime’s services, particularly if you enjoy their introduction. This activity was a highlight of our vacation.What an enjoyable time.

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

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
