Iza was a fun, knowledgeable guide for my first visit and tour of Paris. While many places were not open as it was a Monday, she still incorporated as many outdoor attractions as possible- gardens, streetscapes, etc, all the while sharing interesting perspectives on what we were seeing. I highly recommend Iza to anyone considering a Paris visit!Wonderful Paris walk about!

Truly appreciated our time with Anukool! The tour was filled with great details from history and lots of info. As a family of four with a three-year old and 7 month old who had already visited a few locations in the Latin Quarter, we were very grateful for his adaptability and patience. Highly recommend!Great Tour!

My tour with Louis exceeded my expectations. Not only does he have a wealth of knowledge, but he is able to present it in an interesting and entertaining way. He’s got a great personality and is easy to understand. I really appreciated his flexibility and was comfortable asking him many questions. Louis is familiar with the nooks and crannies of the area that I certainly would not have found in my own. I highly recommend Louis!!What a great afternoon!!

I've used withlocals before and always had guides who had a game plan. I found Andrea to be a little too much "we could go here, or we could go here..." for my liking. I also messaged prior to the tour that we wanted to go to St Chapelle as part of the tour. When we got there, he did his thing and we did ours as I don't think he was all that familiar with the church. When we did ask questions, too many responses were "we could google it". Disappointing

Easy to book, and meeting place was easy to find. Our guide Olivia walked up to us like a long lost friend up and a quick chat about us and what we wanted and we were off. Seeing historic places is one thing but having stories told about everything you can see and hearing the past was truly immersive. It was my first time using withlocals and I will use again. Highly recommend Olivia. So much local knowledge and I could no have asked for a better tour, or tour guide. Walking and talking, Latin Quarter Paris

(About local Cimen)

11 October 2023

We had a wonderful time with Cimet. She is very friendly with a good knowledge of both historical and modern points of interest. A highlight of our tour was seeing the etching of Arthur Rimbaud's poem "Le Bateau Ivre" carved into a wall along the street. Cimet was leisurely, not rushing us, allowing us to take it all in. We strolled through a "bracante" checking out the antiques, visited St. Sulpice and the Luxembourg Gardens and ended up at Les Deux Magots for lunch. I was touched that Cimet asked the waiter to place us in the seats where Simone de Beauvoir sat with Jean Paul Sartre so many years ago. Walking with Cimet was like taking a stroll with a good friend, and we highly recommend her.Une Journée Avec Une Flaneuse

We had such a lovely time with Olivia! It was our first time in Paris, and we really knew very little about the history of the city. Olivia showed us a wide variety of places, sharing stories and historical context to help us better appreciate - and feel more at home in - this dazzling capital. She was enthusiastic and curious about us, as well, and graceful in connecting sites to our interests and experiences. Olivia made us eager to return to Paris, and open to further exploration.A great introduction to Paris

We have traveled to Europe a number of times and have utilized local guides. They have all been good, but an honest appraisal of Olivia is that she was the best. Her combined knowledge of the area we toured, her passion and genuine interest in us was most notable. The tour pace was just right, but we still covered many interesting areas. I wish we could have secured more time with Olivia as she made our initial time in France most special.Overall experience was 12 out of 10

You don’t need to read further, just book the tour with Cimen. It was absolutely amazing with her intertwining history, stories, and giving great suggestions around town I absolutely loved it all. She even helped guide us to the Catacombs so we could be in the right area at the end of our tour. Treat yourself to an adventure!

Even though we were short on time Andrea gave us a very comprehensive and detailed tour of the left bank and Latin quarters. He showed us all the highlights and salient historical sites. He was very knowledgeable as well informed. He kept the kids interested with small historical anecdotes and stories. He told us about his experiences with his daughter at the luxumberg gardens and some other areas that was very personable to all of us. Overall it was a great tour. Would highly recommend Andrea for this tour. Amazing tour

Welly was truly informative, but not overloading us with information. He was polite, funny, answered our many questions and engaged in conversation. He was able to show us parts of Montmarte that we never would have found on our own. It was our favorite part of our trip and wish we would have booked more tours with him for a true Parisian experience. Perfect

Emilie was great at communicating before our visit about meeting and tickets. She kept us on schedule and showed us a large variety of the collection in only 2 hours which I know we could not have done on our own. She also was informative about the art without being dry. She also took us to the gallery we wanted to visit after our tour was over to make sure we didn’t get lost. I would book with her again. Great morning at the louvre

Louis has a warm personality and is passionate about Paris! His knowledge made this tour unforgettable; and I am still processing the fascinating historical information he shared. He gave us a lot of historical and cultural information and was happy to answer questions, even on a cold and windy day. He took into account the rawness of the day and included stops at confectionaries and cafes for us to warm up and try local sweets. I truly enjoyed walking through Paris with Louis and I couldn't have asked for a better guide, thank you!Outstanding Tour Guide

(About local Bibiana )

29 January 2025

Bibiana was a great communicator. She helped us navigate everything and we didn't have to wait in any of the lines. Since this was our first time, she started by explaining the building's history itself and how it came to be a public museum, which was really interesting. Then we covered three main areas and periods of work. Two hours is not terribly long but we got through a lot of things and it made it so much more enjoyable than if I had wandered around myself unsure of why I should be interested in different pieces. Lovely first experience at the Louvre

It would be difficult not to connect with Giedre. You'll delight in her joy of Paris' many hidden spots. More than once on the tour, we ducked from the busy main road into a magical courtyard the hurried passers-by missed entirely. Some of them, seeing her, did the same. They always had an expression of wonder that said, "I never knew this was here!" All our cares were gone, as we knew we were in good hands. She was also adaptable, and keen to know what would work best for us.A guide who loves people and Paris!

Emile's appreciation for the Louvre's treasures is contagious. Following a bout of severe food poisoning, we were weakened, and wondered if we'd even be able to manage the tour with our diminished reserves. Emile adapted to our needs on the spot, saving the day.Knowledgeable, adaptable and indispensable

Andrea's tour was a great intro to Paris. We hit several of the highlights, and he also took us to some places we never would've known about. For example, since we're from Philadelphia, he took us to see Benjamin Franklin's Paris office. We moved quickly to maximize our time, but didn't feel rushed. We recommend Andrea!Knowledgeable with Sense of Humor

Bibiana was excellent and prompt with all communication, very knowledgeable about the Louvre, art history, etc. She was very nice and helpful throughout preplanning and the tour, she made all members of our group comfortable from baby in stroller to adults. I can’t fathom doing the louvre without a private guide, it’s so insanely crowded and huge, even just entering is an ordeal, but not with Bibiana. She knew just how to move us through the crowd and skip the lines and navigate the huge museum. She also helped us to understand why the most famous pieces are famous and really expanded our knowledge of the renaissance. Thank you! Great tour, wonderful guide.
