Romy was a great guide! She did the best tour she could in the short time we had left. We booked this tour over others due to it's location close to Notre Dame - because we were so short on time. She sent us a different address that we didn't see until we had wasted a lot of time hunting for her at the address advertised as 5 - 10 minute walk from Notre Dame. The new address is 19 minute walk. So we only got a 1 hour 45 min tour. Like I said, she did a great job in the time remaining, but it was a lot to pay for that short of time. They need to advertise the address correctly - not pull a bait and switch, for which she insisted was for our benefit...Romy great, but tour not as advertised.

We booked a last-minute cycling tour—just about an hour and a half before the start—and couldn’t have been more excited. We asked to skip the usual tourist spots and see some of the more local, off-the-beaten-path areas. Zyggy totally got it and quickly customized the route for us. We rode along the Seine, past the Louvre, through the Marais, Île Saint-Louis, past Notre-Dame, and into the beautiful streets of Saint-Germain. Midway through, we took a quick break at a cozy little café for a much-needed coffee. The ride was a blast—we’re both super comfortable on e-bikes, and it was such a fun way to explore the city. Zyggy also gave us some great local restaurant tips and even made a reservation for us that night. It really felt like we got the true Paris local experience. Highly recommend!Unique Bicycle Tour Off the Beaten Path

We had a wonderful walking tour of Paris with Anukool. He was engaging with his knowledge of the city and history, answering our kids (aged 8 and 10) questions and keeping them engaged throughout the 3 hours we spent with him. We loved all the tasting, exploring and really appreciated the local recommendations which helped us get the best from our stay. Thank you Anukool!Walking tour of Paris with kids

We begonnen helaas een kwartier te laat, gids was nog onderweg met de metro. Daarna de tocht begonnen, en naar onze smaak en mening wel erg veel geschiedenis, ik overdrijf niet als er wel 50 jaartallen/eeuwen voorbij zijn gekomen. De stops bij diverse bezienswaardigheden waren ook relatief lang waardoor je minder fietst en dus ook minder ziet. De local drink die ons was toegezegd hebben we heelaas ook moeten missen. Hierdoor vinden we de prijs/kwaliteit verhouding helaas niet wat deze moet zijn voor dit bedrag.Leuk, maar relatief weinig gefietst.

Anukool has vast knowledge of the history of this city that he loves so much. Bicycle is the best way to travel around the city, you can cover great distance without having to spend time stuck in traffic. As you can imagine Paris is everything I expected and more.

Had a wonderful time with Aukool on Velib bikes in Paris. An interesting half day tour went by quickly as we got on and off the city bikes and learned about Paris history and food culture from a knowledgeable, fun and engaging guide. The pace was good and we felt safe as we cycled the bike paths. Highly recommended. Will take a foodie tour with Anukool when we return! Great time biking in Paris

Romy was great! We decided to take our tour the first day we landed in Paris after an eight hour overnight flight….Probably not the best idea on our part, but Romy kept us interested (and moving) via her tour. She has a great knowledge of Paris, a fun demeanor, and was very engaging with our family of four (two teenage daughters). We hit a lot of the major sights on our tour and was a great way to hit a lot of the top spots. Overally, Romy was great! Knowledgeable and energetic guide

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

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!

Sorry Romy we were not good students but it was hard to retain all the names that you told us about. So much information... We will have nothing but good memories of our trip, even the constant torrential outpoor will stay in our memories forever!3 hour tour with Romy

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

We had the pleasure of spending time with Alexia during our stay in Paris, and she was truly fantastic. From the moment we met, she made everything feel easy and welcoming, especially as we were traveling with children. She helped us navigate local menus and order authentic French dishes we might have otherwise missed (escargot & desert & now the kiddos only order lemonade which is more like American sprite)! She was incredibly thoughtful and accommodating, always making sure the kids felt included and engaged. Whether it was finding the right place to eat, helping translate with warmth and patience, or sharing local insights along the way, Alexia was a total gem! Absolutely wonderful! Her kindness, professionalism, and local knowledge made our Paris experience even more special with a local. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a personable, family-friendly, and genuinely helpful guide in the city!Absolute Gem!

She managed to hit every one in the short time that we had together, and sent several helpful suggestions after we parted. She was terrific!Fantastic Experience!

Alexia was very knowledgeable about the area, was an engaging speaker, and asked about our preferences to ensure we were all interested in the things that she covered during the tour. I have already recommended her to two other families who are travelling in Paris this summer, and would definitely seek her out for another tour the next time we are there.Highly Enjoyable Tour with Alexia

We took the Pastery tour with lovely Alexia who skillfully guided us between hidden spots, bakeries and parks in an interesting and fun way. The challange was not the easiest, really warm weather and us already starting the day with another tour and on the day of the festival "the day of the music", that brought half of Paris to the streets, Alexia had done her homework in advance, having multiple bakery options, in case of pasteries beeing sold out and even replanning on the go for a ice cream stop in the heat by choosing the lesser known location to avoid the huge lines at the main shop. The thing that really stood out with the tour was the truely great effort and huge heart Alexia showed during the tour and doing so in a genuin way that made it feel like beeing shown around by a friend. We had a wonderful afternoon with Alexia amongst delicious pastry, magical surroundings and streets filled with music. Choose a few hours, an afternoon or a full day with Alexia showing you arround, you woun´t regret it!Fun guidance with alot of heart and effort
