Welly was so wonderful at communicating with us before our tour to ensure we had exactly the day we wanted. Our tour went at the pace we needed (slower after many days of walking) and focused on sights and history according to our interests. As an added bonus, Welly took many wonderful photos of us along the tour. He even gave us a quick lesson on using the Metro that saved our feet in future days. Customized, private tour = a wonderful day

We had fun, informative and tasty tour with Anukool. It was the right combination of history, architecture, culture, food and trivia - all at a good pace. Anukool's enthusiasm for what he does combined with his relaxed and easy-going manner made this a wonderful experience for us. Thank you Anukool!Enjoyable Montmartre food tour

I do a lot of tours all over the world and I can say quite confidently this was up there with the best. Mainly because Welly really knows his stuff, speaks perfect Engliwh, and balances well between being dwtailed and informative while still presenting Paris in a fun, engaging way. Also, he was super accomodating in terms of customising the tour to enable my 80 year old dad to fully enjoy it. Highly recommended!A great tour

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 have visited Paris on another two occasions but this visit was certainly the standout and most memorable and I think part of this was because we kicked off our time in Paris with a fabulous walking tour through the streets with Welly as our tour guide. We really loved getting to hear more about the history of this wonderful city and have a local take us through some of the notable but maybe less touristy and less well known sites that were local to Saint Germaine where we stayed. Having a tour flexible to our preferences and from a local gave us a whole new perspective and insights into Paris we personally found to be valuable and something we got more from than a standard hop on hop off tour that is more touristy and covers the sites everyone knows. Welly was also great at sharing information and planning a tour that engaged our children ages 11 and 13 and answering their questions. He was patient with them and his English was easily understood by us Australians with limited French language skills! Lastly he really took note of our interests and preferences during the tour and afterwards sent us a lovely bunch of recommendations crafted to our personal interests that were convenient to where we were staying in terms of restaurants, shopping and places to visit. We found this personalised touch very thoughtful and useful. I am so glad we booked this tour with Welly and believe it really helped us all fall in love with Paris. We will be back again! The BEST introduction to Paris

Welly is flexible! Welly is knowledgeable. Le Professeur Welly took us on a guided tour that included many interesting and beautiful Parisienne landmarks. His historical knowledge of the city and its origins was superb. As a school teacher I was impressed with Welly’s recall of dates of events that have shaped this country and its famous architecture. Welly was very easy to converse with and has speaks several languages. We highly recommend Welly as a guide on your Paris adventure.Hidden histories

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

Many thanks to Welly and WithLocals! We arrived Sunday a bit jetlagged but started our week in Paris with a 5 hour tour with Welly. Everything went extremely well and he customized our tour just as we asked taking us around to "hidden gems." He was always careful to ask about the speed of walking and whether we needed to use the restroom or not. Not just a great tour but also a great guy! By the way, this is our second tour with WithLocals. Both tours have been exceptional and a great way to begin a trip to a foreign city. Welly is the best!

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 met Welly for a 3 hour tour on our first morning in Paris. Welly curated a walking tour for our family through a series of neighborhoods we were most interested in. Welly communicates perfectly in English and gave us just the right amount of history of the city and culture. He even had an interactive scavenger hunt of street art that are kids were obsessed with. Couldn’t imagine a better introduction to Paris. Thanks Welly. Increible walking tour and intro to Paris

I would highly recommend him. He was very communicative prior to meeting up with us. He was also very accommodating as we had to add an additional person on at the last minute. He helped with restaurant recommendations too! Thanks so much Anukool for making our Paris trip even better! Please sign up for this tour and you will NOT regret it!

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

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

My wife and I booked an afternoon tour with Anukool around Montmatre. Met Anukool and he is a very knowledgeable and friendly guy who gave us a great tour of the area and told us many things we would not have learned if we had done this on our own. He recommended some great places to visit and eat. Montmatre as a area is well worth visiting and whilst there are the obvious attractions such as Sacre Couer there also many hidden gems. Really liked Anukool and the area. I will definitely visit Montmatre again.Interesting and fun afternoon Anukool
