We had an unforgettable morning with Gelsomina, exploring Latin Quarter and its neighboring areas. Her warm and welcoming demeanor immediately put us at ease as she guided us through the rich history of each site we visited. Gelsomina’s storytelling brought the places to life, and her recommendations for restaurants were absolutely spot-on. Thank you, Gelsomina for a truly wonderful experience ! The most Wonderful Guide

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.
Thank you so much Wondeful walk through Paris

As a native Parisian, he is very knowledgeable, but didn’t overwhelm us with with too many facts. He was also very open to going with the flow. Paroa overview

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!

In just a few minutes Welly assessed what we wanted from our tour. We are a couple interested in history and architecture and his guide and explanations were perfect for us. Without giving too much away he included several locations which we would never have dreamed of visiting and which blew us away. Any question we asked he was able to answer. He also gave recommendations on where else to prioritise visits in the additional 2 days we had in Paris and also provide some recommendations on places to eat. Welly’s English was perfect and he speaks several other languages too. A tour with Welly is a must

We wanted to take the subway home and he guided us through the process. He gave us info on the architecture, culture, etc. Excellent overall! Hidden gems tour by Welly

My family recently toured the Montmartre district of Paris with our guide Rachelle. While I say "toured", it felt much more like cruising the neighborhood with a new friend! Beyond being super knowledgeable in Parisian history and culture, Rachelle gave us great insight into everyday life in this amazing city. Having a family of her own, she connected well with our young son, and created a unique and memorable experience for all of us! Thank you Rachelle!A perfect Parisian experience!

Rachelle was an amazing tour guide. Our experience was more like a stroll through the streets with a dear friend, than a tour guide. As first time visitors Rachelle answered all our question, as well as taking us to some of her favorite sites. Most of the sites she shared with us were more local highlights, than the big tourist attractions, which is exactly what we requested We LOVED our time with Rachelle.First Time Visitors

Our family of 4 enjoyed our time with Rachelle! Rachelle is very personable, fun, professional, knowledgeable and insightful. She took us around St Germain des Pres where we learned about the area and the noteworthy places there. She also shared her favorite coffee shop (which became our favorite as well in Paris) and bakery. Our kids (21 & 17) adore Rachelle as she’s very sweet and also listened / catered to their interests. This was our first time in Paris and Rachelle truly did make it very special and memorable. Thank you, Rachelle! 🫶🏼Rachelle is AWESOME!

This trip was a gift for our daughter from family and friends to celebrate her confirmation. Of course, I planned the main sightseeing activities, but many museums are not interesting for teenagers. It was my first trip with my daughter without my husband and our son, just the two of us. Hence, I wanted to organize something special. I found the Withlocals portal quite interesting. I chose a local guide and arranged a 3-hour Paris tour.
On the way to Paris, I received a message from our local guide that she was sick. It was just a couple of hours before our planned appointment. Of course, I understand that if someone is sick, you can't change it. But at that moment, I was really upset as I had planned this day for my daughter and myself around this tour with a local guide. Then, I received information that our tour was transferred to Welly.
Welly immediately got in touch with me and discussed all the details. It was great! The tour with Welly was very interesting and exciting! He told us a lot of historical details but also shared insights about local Parisian life and culture. The tour was absolutely perfect! My daughter, 14 years old, said that this tour was the best experience for her in Paris.
We also got a couple of useful tips from Welly about food, restaurants, and sightseeing. The next evening, we had a very beautiful dinner on Rue Sainte-Anne, a street with many Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Korean restaurants. I would recommend this experience for all Asian food lovers.
Thank you so much, Welly. It was a great time and experience for us, and you saved our day!Welly saved our day!

She customized our 3 hour tour to meet our needs, gave great recommendations for things to do and places to eat on our own, and was incredibly knowledgeable. We learned so much and had a blast at the same time! Her communication was excellent start to finish. If I’m ever back in Paris, I will certainly book Rachelle again and I will use With Locals in other locations! Fabulous!

Rachelle was phenomenal, talking about history, arts, funny facts and very interesting things. She kept our 15 year old son entertained while giving us advice for places to go, restaurants, boutiques and much more, always with a smile on her face.

We had such a fun afternoon with Giedre Izabele. I booked the Paris City Tour to surprise my boyfriend for his birthday and it was a great success. Izabele took us to Le Marais and showed us the best galeries, concept stores and historical sites. Along the way she told us a lot of interesting things about the area and living in Paris. She gave us lots of recommendations for what else we could see and do. We ended the tour in her favorite coffee place. It was like we were spending the afternoon with a friend. Next time we are in Paris, we would definitely book a tour with Izabele again. A birthdaytour to remember

Our tour was at the end of our stay in Paris, so we had pretty much covered the expected sites. We left it to Anukool to show us whatever he liked and it did not disappoint. The Passages were particularly interesting and beautiful and loved seeing one of the oldest book stores in Paris. Anukool was so knowledgeable about everything we saw, was very personable, and had plenty of recommendations for his beautiful city.Anukool just knows everything!
