We’ve been to Paris a few times before, but our private walking tour with Carlos gave us a completely fresh perspective. He took us to hidden corners and lesser-known gems we had never discovered on previous visits. Carlos was fun, engaging, and easygoing, with a great smile and a warm energy that made the day truly enjoyable.
He tailored the tour to suit our interests and pace, making it feel completely personal. Along the way, he shared fantastic recommendations for restaurants, museums, and galleries to check out during the rest of our stay — tips that turned out to be spot-on. It was a perfect introduction to Paris, both for first-timers and seasoned visitors. Highly recommended!Wonderful tour of Paris

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

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

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

Our group of 5 had a wonderful patisserie tour of Paris. Anukool is very knowledgeable and was able to provide an excellent tour of some very unique patisseries in 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!

Carlos was a joy to meet and such an added experience in Paris that we won’t forget. We talked about many different things regarding living and working in Paris. He was very knowledgeable about history and showed us many places we wouldn’t have gone to or even noticed, like the original wall, had we just been walking on our own.
In addition, Carlos is a musician, and I love supporting people who are creative artists.
Until next time, Carlos! Cheers!! Friend For Life 🫶🏼

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.

Carlos was a perfect guide. He showed me all the most interesting places in Marais, from Victor Hugo’s dwelling place to the Picasso Museum and very modern galleries. His enthusiasm and his broad knowledge in art history and architecture was really overwhelming and inspiring. This was my second guided tour in Paris with him and I am so grateful for his tours. They gave me a beautiful insight into Paris, its wonderful history and its ways of life. Maraus with Carlos Hernan

Carlos gave my daughter and me a fantastic 2.5-hour walking tour through Paris that we’ll never forget. He was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable — pointing out historical details and hidden gems we would’ve missed on our own.
What really stood out was how kind and patient he was with my 8-year-old daughter, Sloane. He answered all her questions, matched her pace, and made her feel included every step of the way. That’s not easy to find in a guide, and it meant a lot to us.
If you’re looking for a smart, thoughtful, and genuinely kind guide to help you experience Paris on a deeper level, book Carlos. Highly recommended!Fantastic time with Carlos

Carlos was my guide to see Notre Dame. It was easy to meet him there, since he was attentive and responsive to texts. He was very helpful and thoughtful in making it easy for me to navigate the crowds on my mobility scooter. He taught me a lot about Notre Dame’s history and restoration. He explained the artwork in all the chapels and even sat with me to pray for a few minutes in front of the Crown of Thorns. I couldn’t have asked for a more thorough or interesting tour! Carlos was prompt,thoughtful,knowlegeable.

This is the first time we’ve ever booked a private tour guide, and the experience was fantastic. Carlos was funny, knowledgeable, personable, and patient. It was more like touring the city with a good friend that knows a lot about the city that he loves. If/when e ever return to Paris, we will definitely book with Carlos again. I can’t recommend Carlos enough. Amazing day!We had the BEST time with Carlos

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

So three of us (adults visiting from Canada) did this tour with Anukool today. This should definitely be on your list to do while in Paris. He is very engaging, very knowledgeable. He knows the location of hidden food gems and delights in sharing them. There was lots of food, you won’t end hungry. Highly recommend this tour and any tour with him really. Awesome Tour- Don’t Miss It!

Anukool has lived in France for a long time and loves his city. He is very knowledgeable about French history and an engaging conversationalist. He can also show you many non-touristy corners and give you good tips for the time you spend on your own. We took a customized tour with him and really enjoyed being with him.Great guy!

We’re an older couple and because this was the first of four Withlocals tours, we were worried about the pace. But Carlos adapted perfectly and let us rest when needed. We got a good overview of the Marais along with a great recommendation and reservation for our early dinner. He planned the tour so we ended up at the restaurant. Perfedt pace

My husband and I took a food tour in Montmartre with Anukool and he was extremely knowledgeable about so many different types of cultures. We had conversations that compared France to other countries throughout the world. We got to enjoy some delicious dishes and pastries we would’ve never thought to try on our own, but with Anukool’s guidance we found some new favorites.

We saw a couple of things we would have never seen and his calm, relaxed manner made our first morning in Paris a lovely one. Lots of walking but if you're prepared for that I would high recommend this option and Carlos.

This was our first time booking withlocals! I went with my intuition and booked with Anukool and I'm so happy I did. I saw that he had a love a history and so does my Husband. What I didn't know was that he also has a fashion degree which comes with its own history and is perfect for Paris! He was able to keep the attention of my Husband and my three teen girls. He even went out of his way to help us navigate the Paris Metro system, helping us buy our tickets to Versailles and Disney Paris. He suggested buying our return tickets at the same time so we didn't wait in a line when returning. Anakool has so much to offer with his world traveling, fashion background and his love of history. He can tailor any tour to your needs. I can't wait to go back and book another tour. I know we just scratched the surface with Anukool and Paris. Book Anukool! He has your perfect tour!

I feel awful giving a negative review, but I wish I had come across more critical reviews of this tour. All three people in my party were really disappointed with this tour. To give credit, Anukool was flexible and allowed for us to move along to the next spot if we weren't interested or extend if we wanted to stay longer in an area. He was *very* flexible. The stops on this tour were mediocre at best. We arrived hungry and the tour began with an overly sweet dessert from a popular chain, then we went to a quiche our guide bought at a window and we ate outside in the rain, and next was oysters. It didn't feel well thought-out regarding order of food and the quality was subpar. Furthermore, we expected to meet a local with a bubbly personality who may customize based on who we were and what we were interested in. Our guide was an expat who talked about the history and asked few questions. He was really knowledgeable, but for us, the tour fell flat. We really liked the area. Ultimately, we wanted to be captivated by our tour guide, have a generous amount of curiosity sparked on our end, and leave feeling like we ate foods we wouldn't have found on our own. Honestly, we expected a more for the money
