We had the pleasure of having Welly as a guide in 2023. When we returned to Paris to this year, we were excited to find he was available to give us a tour again, so we booked him again. As before, Welly was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. We learned so much from him and also had a lot of fun. We’ve visited Paris multiple times, but Welly is still able to surprise us with so many historical facts and general knowledge about Paris. We will definitely book him again in the future! Another great experience

Die Führung war ziemlich teuer, aber Romy war großartig! Sie kennt Paris, seine verschiedenen Viertel, Straßen und die Geschichte dazu. Dabei hat sie sich sehr auf uns und insbesondere auf unsere 10jährige Tochter eingestellt - und ein super-leckeres Eis auf dem Weg gab es auch noch. Romy hat uns viele Empfehlungen und Tipps gegeben. Da das Wetter am Vormittag schlecht war, hat sie uns nicht nur angeboten, die Führung auf den Nachmittag zu verschieben, sondern hat uns auch noch Vorschläge für den verregneten Vormittag gemacht. Wir haben die Zeit mit Romy sehr genossen und viele Anregungen mit nach Hause genommen. Vielen Dank!Sehr persönliche Führung durch Paris

We did a walking tour with Welly and couldn't be happier that we booked with him. He was very knowledgeable about Paris, took us to many spots we would never have found on our own and we could tell that he genuinely loved the city, which really added to the experience. We would highly recommend him for your tour of Paris and wouldn't hesitate to have him as our guide next time!Great tour with a great guide

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

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

We had the absolute pleasure of having Olivia as our tour guide during our recent trip to Paris, and she exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we met her, Olivia was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city's history, culture, and hidden gems. What stood out most was her ability to personalize the experience. She introduced us to charming neighborhoods of Montmartre and helped us see things we wouldn’t have found on our own. Olivia made sure each moment felt special and tailored to our interests. Her storytelling brought the Montmartre area of Paris to life, and her insights added so much depth to every site we visited. Olivia had great recommendations for local restaurants, shops, and experiences that really made us feel like we were getting an authentic taste of the Montmartre part of Paris beyond the typical tourist spots. If you're looking for a guide who is passionate, engaging, and deeply knowledgeable, we cannot recommend Olivia enough. She truly made that part of our trip unforgettable. Merci, Olivia!Olivia is Amazing!

We had an excellent tour of the Musee D’Orsay with Henrick. It is obvious that he is extremely knowledgeable about art and history and the city of Paris and he is able to communicate his knowledge in a way that is engaging and lively and genuinely fun. I did the tour with my two teenagers. It is a testament to Henrick and his communicative style that even my teenagers were completely engaged and left the museum with a true appreciation for the art that we were able to see. I would absolutely recommend Henrick and the next time we are in Paris we will specifically request him for any tours that we do. Thank you Henrick for making our vacation and specifically our tour of the museum a special one! We really appreciate you.Excellent tour

Bibiana was FANTASTIC ! She made visiting the Louvre such an interactive and fun experience. As an art history novice, I have historically found this museum to be over whelming. She unraveled some of the secrets of the museum and its treasures in a way that made the museum feel alive. She is energetic and passionate about the treasures of the Louvre. Well done Bibiana !!!Louvre 101 for the novice

Maxime was gracious enough to extend our time with him to be sure we did not feel rushed and could get a true feeling for the Montmartre area. He took us to a few small vignettes which I feel sure we wouldn't have found on our own. We were pleased with his candid answers to questions about his life and educational opportunities and what living in Paris is like for many. He was personable and by the end of out hours together, we felt a genuine connection!Montmartre explored to the fullest

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

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
