Zum ersten Mal in Paris , endlich! Alleine, 66 Jahre mit Verkühlung! Habe mich auf Anhieb sehr gut mit Olivia verstanden. Wir mussten nicht lange gehen und schon sind wir in dem versprochenen Jazzkeller abgetaucht. Tolle Atmosphäre , die Musiker trotz Jugend absolute Profis. Olivia fürsorglich, lieb. Einen Drink und ich wusste, dass ich diese Entscheidung nicht bereuen würde. Olivia hätte mich noch weiter zum nächsten Jazzclub geschleppt, aber ich war zufrieden mit dem was mir geboten wurde. Später durfte ich noch herausfinden, dass Olivia selbst eine hervorragende Jazzsängerin ist. Da verrate ich aber nichts Danke liebe Olivia!Bester erster Abend in Paris!

Loved spending an evening with Olivia- she is a jazz singer herself and knows all about the Paris jazz scene. Got us into a hard to find great little historical club where the swing music was wonderful and the dancers very accomplished. She gave us a lots of history of the area, how the clubs and jazz developed (and the war's impact), the current types of jazz music and where to find it as well as history of historic buildings nearby and the clubs. would love to do it again!!Cool Jazz scene with Olivia.

Olivia was accommodating, friendly and took us around the jazz scene in Paris on a weekend at last minute notice! Loved being with a local musician to meet other musicians and to hear their stories! And feel their passion when playing! Olivia gave us great backstory surrounding JAZZ in Paris dating all the way back 100years+! We then walked through the streets to what was an underground jazz cafe previously and enjoyed our 25 wedding anniversary evening sampling the delights of the Adrien Brandeis and band members! An evening of delight! If we return, we will definitely contact Olivia again and will also direct any friends her way, too!!!Best way to spend an evening

Our evening with Olivia was an awesome experience! She did a great job of making us feel welcome, and the girl definitely knows her jazz. The walk and learning a about the history of the Paris Jazz scene and the Montmartre arts district were very enjoyable, and the intimate jazz club was great! Worth repeating.An excellent time!

I feel like you never know what you are going to get with private tours, but Olivia was well beyond any expectations I had in my head. Her knowledge, experience and relationships in Paris made our experience absolutely unforgettable. We would use Olivia for everything in Paris if she had the time. She is not just a tour guide, but a great partner to roam the city with who knows all the little things you would never see as a tourist. Thank you for our perfect day!!! So much better than expected!!

Olivia is a beautiful person who is genuinely interested in pleasing her clients. She is very knowledgeable about the history of Jazz in Paris & very good company . We walked around Saint Germaine des Pres area & Olivia showed & explained many of the significant landmarks. She then took me to a very very old underground Jazz club with an amazing swing band playing with a brilliant female singer, it was a wonderful evening. Olivia was also kind enough to provide a list of suggested places to visit & experience & all based on my interests , merci beaucoup Olivia .

What a wonderful experience.! Olivia is charming and engaging with very positive energy. We met at a neighborhood cafe, walked to a small local bar on a tree lined side street for a drink and conversation about music, France and Paris. Then on to one of the newest and hippest jazz clubs in all Paris. The band was spectacular! They had just started when we arrived and the feeling in the room was of reverence. As they moved through the set it cut loose and by the end the audience was on their feet calling for more. Which they delivered in an extended improvised piece that had the house rocking. Bravo Olivia!Best tour ever!

Olivia is super knowledgeable about her city, she brought us to an underground jazz cave and we experienced the coolest musicianship, alongside fun facts and history! She's great to hang out with and my mom and I really enjoyed the tour, which she specially planned for us on a day she doesn't usually work. She gave us insider tips for Paris that were tailored to us and what we wanted to do. Thanks Olivia, so much! Liv is a gem!

Olivia was such a delight and the underground jazz tour was just what we were looking for as a unique experience for my first visit to Paris that left a lasting impression. Not only was Olivia welcoming and great to converse with, she exuded such an incredible passion about jazz. Her knowledge is incredible and she made us feel genuinely welcomed. Not to mention the incredible jazz! We couldn't believe our ears. Incredible jazz on a Tuesday night in a small quaint club surrounded by local Parisians enjoying drink and music. Couldn't have asked for a better time. Thank you Olivia for a wonderful tour!Such a quintessentially unique experience!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Olivia and our experience with her! She totally customized a tour for us including delicious foods in Montmartre, doubled with an incredible experience in a jazz club. She was so interesting and fun to talk to, it was like having an instant friend to explore the city with! My boyfriend and I just kept saying how wonderful the experience was and how happy we were to find WithLocals. Book with Olivia and have the best time! Thank you, Olivia!!! What a treat!

My husband and I were looking for a fun and different way to celebrate our anniversary in Paris and we found it with Olivia’s jazz tour. Olivia is very knowledgeable about the local jazz scene and Paris in general. We learned about the history of jazz caves and sat in on a couple of sets at a local jazz club. It was a great evening and we highly recommend this experience. We would book another tour with Olivia in the future. A fun evening and all that jazz

Olivia is a bubbly and very attentive person. She is knowledgeable in all things jazz and goes to great length to share everything about the history of jazz and what is happening in the local scenes. She also brought me to a beautiful street to experience how it was like to be a jazz musician in the past. The jazz bar that she brought me to was absolutely divine, and I had an awesome night. Definitely the highlight of my trip to Paris. It is a must book experience for those who love jazz or just want to try something new.This tour Olivia was simply the best!

Olivia is a star! Very knowledgable and pleasant. She took us to an amazing jazz club ‘off the beaten track’ to an extraordinary musical experience. We would never have found our way to that. Thanks, Liv, for a wonderful memory - and best wishes for your own musical carrier. Louise & Kim from Copenhagen Unforgettable jazznight in Paris w. Olivia

Olivia went above and beyond for us as we had specific requirements that needed to be met. She did the research and came up with a plan that met those requirements and our evening was perfect! Olivia was a joyful hostess with engaging conversation. She provided a lovely background on the history of jazz in Paris and her perspective as a jazz singer. We were treated with the opportunity to hear her join the band and sing. She has a beautiful voice. I would recommend Olivia to any of my friends or family.Perfect

Olivia produced an excellent evening jazz experience in Paris with grace, humour, efficiency and knowledge which she shared effortlessly. A must do experience. Brilliantly cool jazz evening in Paris

Olivia is a totally delightful soul! I was traveling last week in Paris and went to see a cool jazz band — in a 17th-century cave underneath a bar — with Liv. She’s a jazz singer herself and lined up a super fun evening! She was thoughtful about the type of jazz I like and lined up an amazing event. We drank red wine and watched people swing dance all evening. I highly recommend this talented artist who is also a pro tour guide. I will definitely look her up when I’m here next May with friends. Amazing Jazz Night in Paris

My father and I spent a wonderful three hours meandering through Montmartre, as Olivia talked us through the history and food of the area. Highly recommend to really dive into Paris and the culture and the cuisine. A brilliant afternoon in Montmartre

We had the best afternoon in Montmarte with Olivia. We had a fantastic tour, learned so much, and every food choice was delicious and fresh. The three hours flew by! We felt that we spent the afternoon with a dear friend, not just a tour guide. Olivia is amazing!!!!

We were so impressed with Olivia's tour - her knowledge of history as well as recommendations for restaurants and dancing! The tour was paced just right with a mix of buildings, gardens and neighborhood offerings. We could not have been more pleased.Wonderful 3 hours!

Olivia was great. Friendly knowledgeable and good to talk to. This was much more than a food tour. There was history art and local secrets. Even though we ended up at the top of the hill it wasn’t strenuous. The pace was just right and the food was good too Wonderful Montmartre

Linda🇺🇸 United States

19 October 2024

Four of us - all in our 70’s and one with a bad knee - thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon walk through Montmartre with Olivia. Ostensibly a food tour, it was so much more than that. While we walked, and between and during our tastings, Olivia introduced us to the history and art and culture of the neighborhood. Since she lives there herself, she also had personal information and anecdotes to share that brought life in Montmartre today alive for us; and we were grateful for the suggestions she offered for further explorations of the area. Because Olivia slowed down the pace of her tour for us, and because we told her we were as interested in history as in food, we didn’t stop - by our request, not hers - at all of the ordinary food tastings she offers on this tour. However, what we did taste was all wonderful and plentiful (bread, pastries, cheeses, oysters, wine, and the best quiche we’ve ever had); we were so full that we carried home with us what we just couldn’t eat. Olivia is so easy to spend time with - within moments of meeting her, it feels like she’s someone you’ve known for years. She is articulate, knowledgeable, professional, patient, accomodating, and so engaging that the time with her seems to fly by. We could have spent another couple of hours with her. If you are considering a tour with Olivia, don’t hesitate - just book it!Lovely afternoon with Olivia

Our walking tour with Olivia exceeded all my expectations. It was well planned, great fun and very informative. I'm a very keen photography and Olivia seemed to always have this in the back of her mind as we wondered the streets of Montmatre. I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking to discover Montmatre.Montmatre Revealed

Olivia was the perfect hostess for our food tour. She was professional and charming. She provided the right amount of history, pop culture fun facts, and interesting information about the places where we ate. The food was abundant and the walk was very easy, even though we were going uphill the whole time! I would have never found the places on my own. Could not have been better for my family of two adults and three young adults.A Taste of Paris with Olivia

We had an amazing time, walking around the Latin Quarter of Paris with Cathedrals, parks, Palaces and ending up at an amazing jazz club Caveau De La Huchette (shown in a scene in the movie La La Land) Olivia or “Liv”was so knowledgeable, friendly and so easy to talk to, connecting us to the best seats in the jazz club ….even without waiting in line. An amazing show and we will always be so grateful for the personalized adventure!! Thanks again Liv!!Amazing Paris and Jazz Experience

We spent 10 days in France and 5 of those in Paris. I asked my daughters for their favorite part of our vacation and they said "our tour of Montmartre with Olivia". I think that says it all. Good luck, Olivia. Thanks!Fabulous time with Oliva in Montmartre

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

Olivia was great! She’s very knowledgeable about Monmartre and the history around it. It was a pleasure to walk along with her and try some of the delicious food the area has to offer. If you’re having any reservations about booking a tour, this one won’t disappoint! I will advise to come hungry.Well Worth Your Time!

We are a couple who have travelled to Paris a lot but were travelling with our teenagers who had never been. The tour was perfect for our all of us. We saw parts of Monmartre that we never would have explored, ate amazing food and leant loads about the area. Olivia was wonderful with teenagers, very quickly picked up on their interested and had them engaged and interested from the start - no mean feat! Tasty and informative

Olivia was a wonderful tour guide. She was prompt and efficient but knew all the history of the area we toured. We got to eat some great local food made by some of the best bakers and chefs in the area. In addition she gave us great information and history on the area. I’m an artist, and she tailored it to include, some really unique information about Artist from France. I would highly recommend this tour. We were for adults and we loved every minute of it. very personal, great information

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

My wife and I were looking for a fun and unique experience in Paris, and this tasting tour with Olivia was amazing. Definitely come hungry! We were expecting just small bites throughout the tour, but we had enough to fill our stomachs (and then some) during the three hours we spent walking throughout Montmartre. It was the perfect way to enjoy a variety of foods during the lunch hour. Olivia took us to a wide variety of restaurants, coffee bars, patisseries, boulangeries, fromageres and creperies, all of which served a delicious sample of all the amazing food that France has to offer. While the food was incredible, what added to the experience was Olivia's knowledge of Montmartre and the background of Parisian food, which made the tour so much more immersive. We felt right at home with Olivia, who navigated the streets of Montmartre and interacted with all of the vendors as a true local who lives there on a daily basis. Olivia was incredibly insightful and engaged throughout, taking time to answer all of our questions (as well as asking some of her own questions to us) and encouraged us to interact with the vendors as well. We were able to take our time to thoroughly enjoy the experience...never feeling rushed. Our only regret was having to leave Olivia after the (short) three hours were over. We highly recommend a tasting tour like this, and if you have an opportunity to do one in Montmartre, you won't regret having Olivia show you around!A Taste of Montmartre with Olivia

We had a wonderful food tour in Montmarte with Olivia. My family of 5 can be a little picky but she found several items that we loved. Baguette, quiche, crepes, cheese, pastries, coffee, tea, and more. The food was very good and we were full after the tour. A plus was we learned so much about the area in which we are staying, Montmarte. I highly recommend!Wonderful Food Tasting!

Olivia was the perfect guide to show my husband and I and our 3 teenage granddaughters around Montmarte. Her musical and art interests matched up well to each of the girl’s interests .She really connected with all of us. One of our granddaughters is gluten free and Olivia went out of her way to make sure that Emma could enjoy the food tour. She is also a jazz expert and recommended a jazz club for us to visit. She even made the reservation. We would highly recommend Olivia if you plan to visit Montmarte. You won’t be disappointed!!Olivia is Amazing!!!

Jennifer🇺🇸 United States

We had a lovely afternoon with Olivia. She is genuine and engaging, asking questions and learning about each person. You can tell she loves the area and enjoys sharing her knowledge with visitors. She carefully plans the tour so you are walking gradually up the hills and taking lots of breaks to try different foods and drinks or hear a story about the area. It was fun, relaxing, and so interesting!Outstanding Experience!

We fell in love with Olivia and her love of Paris. She is so intelligent, articulate and charming. She was able to easily accommodate an older person with walking issues in our small group and answered all of our questions - big and small. I would book with Olivia again in a heartbeat. Perfection

Olivia was knowledgeable and anxious to provide a good experience. She knew the proprietors of the food venues we visited and the history of the Paris food scene. She was considerate and gave us a wide variety of tastings. We enjoyed our tour very much. Exploring Montmartre

What a treat it was to savor the flavor, both aromitically and experimentally, through Olivia’s incredible sense of time and place. The tastings (far too generous portions for that designation) were carefully chosen and perfect. The sense of Montmartre as a vibrant community was a story weaved together with charm and Knowledge by Olivia. My wife and I have been on many food tours worldwide, but we are hard pressed to think of one we enjoyed more. Montmartre Through Olivia’s Eyes
