We had the most fantastic time with Emilie at the Louvre. It can be an overwhelming place to visit on your own, but Emilie curated the perfect visit for us. She was knowledgeable, engaging and our family has a wonderful visit. Would 100% recommend a tour with Emilie.Best Introduction to the Louvre!

We had a wonderful tour with Emilie! She was so friendly and knowledgeable and kept our jet-lagged group of 4 engaged throughout our two hours. We knew we would be tired after an overnight flight and wanted to see the highlights of the museum (Mona Lisa, Winged Victory, Venus de Milo, etc.), and she showed us all of those and more. I especially appreciated seeing some of the original stone of the palace from the lower level and learning the original history of the location and museum. Emilie was so kind and informative. We would book another tour with her in a heartbeat! Wonderful tour of Le Louvre

We really enjoyed our time with Emilie, who met us at the Musee D’Orsay for a three hour private guided tour. She helped us navigate an otherwise daunting experience, introduced us to artists we didn’t yet know and educated us about the evolution of Impressionism. We thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you so much Emilie!Musee D’Orsay private tour!

Paolo's lively personality and vast knowledge of history, art, and architecture were perfect for a tour of this historically rich and vibrant district. He pointed out architectural details we certainly would have missed and offered insights into the area that could only come from a well-informed local who loves sharing his city.

We booked with Paolo at the last minute. We also had a last minute problem come up, but communication with Paolo was easy and he was very flexible and understanding. He gave us and overview of Paris as we walked around, and shared his passion for the history, architecture, and beauty of the city. Overall, it was a really nice tour!A very pleasant morning

Our family of four loved our Louvre tour with Emilie! I told her our daughters' ages in advance and she prepared a special tour for them, and made sure to point out things of interest for their age level. She saved us a TON of time from skipping the entry line, to being able to use the group visit rest room, to making sure we saw all the important works within our two hours there (the kids can only really muster so much time in a museum before they start losing it :)). Her knowledge of the art and the history was fantastic, and she answered all our questions patiently. She really explained the history behind each painting and made it interesting for all of us. We learned a ton and she was worth every penny. I highly recommend her!Fantastic Louvre tour with Emilie!

Emilie was a wonderful guide and she showed us the best of the Louvre in 3 hours. She made it fun with our grandchildren (10/12) by giving them picture cards to find within the artwork. They stayed engaged the whole time. Her love and passion for the museum was very evident and it made us appreciate this special place even more.Exploring the Louvre with kids

Paolo was a fantastic guide through Montemartre. He shared interesting historical details, fun facts about different locations, buildings and the area.
We were traveling as a group with a 10 year old, 2 40 something’s and a 70 year old - and he was interesting and engaging to everyone.
We stopped to purchase snacks along the way as we needed and Paolo was very helpful in picking the best spots. He even waited in a fairly long line with us for Sacre Couer which seemed above and beyond.
At the end of the day he gave us additional tips for other spots to check out and even provided a dinner recommendation after we had parted ways.
Highly recommend!Fun & informative

Our 5-hour tour with Paolo in Paris was far more than just sightseeing — it was a journey we’ll carry in our hearts forever. For me, it was a chance to rediscover a city I’ve always loved. For my 13-year-old daughter, it was her very first time in Paris — and what an unforgettable introduction it was.
From the very beginning, Paolo made us feel like we were stepping into a storybook. He took us through the heart of Paris — from world-famous landmarks to quiet, hidden corners that only a true local would know. Every stop came alive with his deep knowledge of history, culture, and architecture, and he had a gift for storytelling that kept both of us completely engaged, both in Spanish and English.
What truly stood out was the way he connected with my daughter. He didn’t just talk to her — he involved her, asked her questions, and made sure she felt part of the experience.
We laughed, we tasted delicious macarons and crepes, we learned, and we connected — not only with the city, but with each other. Paolo even helped us capture the moments of the day that we might’ve missed otherwise — turning them into lifelong memories.
Thank you, Paolo, for creating such a beautiful chapter in our story. This mother-daughter trip was everything I hoped it would be — and more. We can’t wait to come back to Paris… and next time, we’ll bring the whole family to share it with you.An Unforgettable Day in Paris

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

Jay was such a wonderful guide. He is incredibly engaging and knowledgeable about the local food but also about Parisien history. We learned so much. It was a delight to get off the beaten path and into a local neighborhood and get a glimpse of life away from all the tourist attractions. We enjoyed Jay and his tour very much! Jay is the best!!

We had a very enjoyable tour of the Marais with Paolo. It has long been our favourite district of Paris and we had visited it several times, but we saw and learned so much more during our tour. Paolo is hugely knowledgeable and makes his tours very interesting but also fun. We felt like we’d had a fascinating conversation rather than a ‘one size fits all’ tour.
We thoroughly recommend Paolo. Excellent tour of the Marais

My daughter and I visited Paris for the first time last week. We wanted to make the most of our visit to the Louvre and booked a private tour with Emilie. From the beginning, Emilie displayed exceptional knowledge, enthusiasm, and professionalism that brought the exhibits to life. She connected historical context with the art in a way that was both educational and captivating. Emilie made for a truly memorable experience.
The following day, we visited Versailles on our own, and all I could think was that I wished we asked Emilie to be our guide!
I highly recommend for anyone looking for an enriching and enjoyable museum visit.Exceptional Museum Tour Experience

The Louvre is overwhelming in size, crowded, and filled with magnificent art. Emilie expertly guided us through, making the experience feel very personal. Her commentary was comprehensive, and the audio system was superb. The price of the tour is expensive, but well worth it. We truly visited the Louvre, thanks to Emilie. Doing it unguided would have been insane.Touring the Louvre with Emilie

Paolo exceeded all expectations. He has a gift for distilling complicated histories into understandable explanations. His passion for art and history are immediately apparent. He guided us through the foundational elements for a first time visitor to Paris, all the while, explaining the significance of everything we passed. He wove in the history of Europe as we strolled. Do not hesitate to contact and book Paolo as your tour guide. You will not be disappointed in the slightest. Thank you, Paolo for welcoming us to Paris!Magnifique!!

5 horas caminando por París con placer y disfrute. Iba con mis padres y al principio tenía miedo de que se fueran a cansar, pero Paolo domina totalmente las calles, lugares, historias,… tiene un ritmo y manera de mostrarte joyas ocultas que ni sentimos el tiempo. Es un guía extraordinario. Caminata inolvidable

Absolutely worth doing the Trip with Paolo. Lots of interesting details. We were a family of four, the children being 17 and 20. Both not at all interested in being guided around, in arts and especially not that evening. In the end, they asked a lot of questions and told us, that Paolo was great and despite they didn't want to go out again, it was worth it participating. My husband and I loved the tour and the way, Paolo presented all the information. He was humerous, had lots of patience with the kids and didn't loose the good mood so in the end, all of us had a really good time. Thanks so much, Paolo!Adorable

Our family of five (with kids ages 9, 12 and 15) had a wonderful time getting an insider’s view of Paris with Paolo. Not only is he very knowledgeable about the history of the city (architectural styles, the monarchy, the Revolution, Napoleon and beyond), he also is great fun to spend the day with. He entertained all of us, made sure to engage the kids and shared interesting stories that we never would have learned on our own. He also gave us great tips for the rest of our stay, including texting us several outstanding restaurant recommendations after the tour had concluded. Paolo has a very warm and welcoming personality, and he is just a fascinating person in general, having lived in many cities around the world. By the end, it felt like we had a friend in Paris. Paolo’s tour was absolutely a highlight of our trip. I highly recommend booking this special experience with him. Excellent Local Guide

Our Musee d'Orsay Tour with Marc was a highlight of our time in Paris. He was extremely knowledgeable and attentive to
our needs. His tour included an overview of the museum itself, and it's transformation from a railroad station. Then it was off to the galleries with a focus on a number of French artists and the history and development of several artistic movements they were part of. Marc responded promptly to all inquiries leading up to the tour. We had a great time. Highly recommend!Orsay

The tour with Paolo was an absolute highlight of our trip to Paris! He is incredibly friendly and personable, and from the very first moment, we felt completely at ease. His passion for Paris is contagious, and his knowledge of the city, its history, and its hidden corners is truly impressive.
We saw the iconic sights , but what made the tour special were the charming neighborhoods and hidden gems Paolo showed us—places you’d never find without a local guide. He shared fascinating stories and gave us his unique perspective on Paris—insightful, entertaining, and full of life.
What we especially appreciated was how flexible he was, tailoring the experience to our tour.
Bottom line: If you want to truly experience Paris, not just see it, Paolo is the guide you need. 100% recommended!Absolute highlight in paris
