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 have three little children- 8 and 5 year old twins- but we still wanted to see Paris. Gelsomina truly made it possible for us! She was patient, kind and informative and didn't bat an eye when our children had meltdowns or tough moments- instead she jumped in to lovingly help! My son adored her especially and learned so much from her about history art and culture- he cannot stop talking about it. Every one of our children keep talking about her and how much fun it was- and truly she made walking through Paris possible for our family. If you are thinking about booking her- absolutely do it you will not regret it!!!Absolutely wonderful!

We were 3 generations -- grandmother, mom and daughters, 16 and 6. Gelsomina was amazing. She entertained and inspired both girls as well as the adults. She has a broad knowledge of the history of Paris, and conveyed it in a way that kept everyone interested. She also gave us valuable tips on places to go and places to get authentic Parisian food. Don't hesitate to book this tour with GelsominaThe best family tour EVER!

Wir haben mit unseren 10 und 8 Jahre alten Kindern diese Tour gebucht. Rachelle hat uns wunderschöne Ecken gezeigt, und hat durchgängig die Kinder eingebunden. Es war für uns alle (sogar für unseren Sohn, der noch kein englisch spricht) ein tolles Erlebnis. Wir haben danach noch einige Tipps von Rachelle umgesetzt, es war ein perfekter Tag! Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis war auch super! Vielen Dank!!! Unfassbar gut

De kinderen (4, 7, en 9 jaar) hebben genoten van de wandeling en van de verhalen door en over de straatjes van Parijs. Rachelle heeft leuke feitjes verteld over de wijken en gebouwen. Veel laten zien en leuke tips nog gegeven om nog te kunnen zien in Parijs. Op haar advies heerlijk een keer ook geluncht bij restaurant Le Procope. Was zeer de moeite waard om daar een keer te gaan eten.

We had a brilliant time with Abi. She is a kind and keen ambassador for Paris and was excellent with my seven year old - tuning into her interests and keeping her entertained with lots of information and questions. Without Abi we would not have seen so many incredible buildings and unique parts of the city such as Notre Dame and the Pantheon (impromptu detour to see one of the original metres was also very my appreciated). If we come back, we'll definitely try and book with her again to explore another part of Paris. Would highly recommend if you have a child and are looking for an intelligent and engaging guide.Friendly, helpful, very good company

We had a lovely time exploring the center of Paris (Ile de la Cite and environs). The group included Izabele (our guide), me, my wife, and our 9yo. Our guide did a great job pacing the walk, explaining the history of Paris in a kid-friendly way, and helping us see how Paris is lived in and experienced by locals today. Thanks!Great experience touring through Paris!

I definitely recommend Gelsomina to anyone who has kids and wants to learn more about Paris’ hidden gems. We travelled with a 6 year old and a 1.5 year old. Gelsomina was incredible with both children. She had a scavenger hunt for our oldest and was very accommodating of our youngster. She is a wealth of knowledge and an amazing human! The tour was very informative and fun for the entire family. Right after the tour ended, my 6 year old asked if we could have another tour with Gelsomina the next time we come to Paris. That is how much she loved it! It was the best tour we had! Hidden Gems

My wife and I took our granddaughter for a week-long visit to Paris and contracted Anna to give us a child-friendly orientation to the city. Anna did a marvelous job of introducing Emma to the City of Lights (and, as she added, the City of Imagination). We visited many classic sights, and Anna used games and visual aids to make them relatable to a 10-year-old child. She often referenced her young twins and even took us by an elementary school. Great experience for our entire family.Paris through a 10-year-old's eyes

We scheduled this tour as both A birthday celebration and a bonjour Paris celebration. Being amateur cooks we were curious to see Paris from the viewpoint of local. The tour was more than we could’ve asked for. The food experience was wonderful, but the best part of all was our tour guide Gelsomina. She is incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and was able to provide not only food related information, but history and culture. A wonderful experience. Think she should have her own TV program to promote Paris and Parisian food. Would highly recommend to anybody interested in food, history, culture, and general knowledge. Definitely a high point of our entire trip.Phenomenal experience superior guide

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

(About local Anna)

21 July 2025

We were under the assumption we would divide our 3 hours between the Louvre and small amount in Notre Dame. We spent all the time at the Louvre. In addition, we were given the option to reimburse her for reserved tickets that included a cruise, which we couldn’t use. Over priced, would prefer to go to Louvre, get audio and move at own pace.Mediocre…

Gelsomina was highly knowledgeable and professional. She shared information about Paris and Parisian food that helped deepen our understanding of the culture and experience. The places she chose were all within a nice walking distance with a variety and were things we wouldn’t have necessarily chosen on our own. Great way to try something new with an individualized experience. Gelsomina also gave us tips on how to see some common attractions in Paris with some crowd minimization which came in handy later.

Gelsomina was great from the start! We communicated before arrival and she remembered everything I told her, even wishing my son and husband congrats on their celebrations! We did the "welcome" tour which was fairly quick - only 1.5 hours but a great way to start our trip. It allowed us to talk about activities and location. She gave us some history and walked us around. She gave us some suggestions and reviewed our itinerary - we were on the right track! Gelsomina was lovely throughout, pointing out details and bits that helped us in our overall trip. We have two teen boys and they enjoyed her as well. Highly recommend!Exceptional Tour, Outstanding Guide!

Absolutely loved our private, guided tour through Marais with Rachelle. So much more than just a pastries tour. A wonderful way to experience the different cultures, history and flavors of one of Paris most vibrant and timeless arrondissements. Rachelle is professional and personable and continually exudes and conveys her love,passion and knowledge for everything that came before and all that continues to make Marais - Marais! Excellent communicator both before and during the tour. Was also able to accomodate our seemingly impossible schedule, customize to our timeline and still provide us with so many delectable flavors and life long impressions. Whether you are experiencing Marais for the first time or have been again and again, completely recommend that you book this tour with Rachelle!Let Rachelle introduce you to Le Marais!

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

Since it was our first day in Paris, her advice and local tips made a huge difference for the rest of our stay. Above all, what made the tour so special was how much Rachelle clearly loves Paris and her passion is contagious!

My family of six adults took a walking tour with Withlocals in June. While some of us had been to Paris before, we wanted a more unique experience that would take us off the typical tourist path — and we’re so glad we did! We were lucky to have Gelsomina ("G") as our guide. G was incredibly accommodating, patient, and friendly. She made us feel like she was part of our group, and her warm personality made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. She took us to hidden spots we never would have discovered on our own, and shared fascinating local insights that added a whole new layer to our understanding of Paris. I highly recommend G to anyone looking to explore Paris beyond the "must-see" sights. If you want an authentic experience with a knowledgeable and kind guide, G is the one. Thank you so much, G, for your wonderful company! Regards, HunSiParis Walking Tour

Rachelle showed us so many interesting things we never would have known about-pointing out shops, restaurants and some of her favorite spots in the Marais. We then headed to the Seine to Ile de la Cite and into the Latin Quarter and ended in Saint-Germain-de-Pres. We wished she had been with us everyday of our trip! Thank you, Rachelle!!!

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!

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!

It was so wonderful to hear about the places, culture, history and little known facts. She showed us her favorite croissant bakery, macaron shop, and book store. We even went to the pharmacy and she showed us the French skin care products we must take home. She was great with my teenage daughter too! I wish Rachelle could have come on the rest of our trip!
