We had an amazing tour with Gelsomina. We just arrived to Paris and wanted to take a less touristy path through the city (avoiding Arc de Triomphe, Eiffle Tower, Champs-Elysees, etc). She curated a wonderful walk for us through Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the Latin Quarter. We got to see all her favorite spots while also orienting us on how the city is laid out and pointed out historical facts that really helped us get excited about our week. We definitely recommend Gelsomina for a tour through Paris!

Anukool is a BRILLIANT tour guide
Anukool is absolutely brilliant! My daughter and I LOVED him. He is beyond knowledgeable on Paris: Architecture, History, Fashion, Food! He has the most lovely personality and delivery. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute and was so happy he could accomodate our last minute changes.

What a pleasure
Absolutely fantastic experience! We had a layover in Paris and were looking for a local guide who could show us around without the stress of planning, and we hit the jackpot with Gelsomina. From the moment we met her, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. She made sure we hit all the spots we wanted to see, and even suggested some hidden gems we would have missed otherwise.
After our red-eye flight, we really appreciated how easy-going and laid-back she was — it made the whole experience so relaxed and enjoyable. She even went above and beyond by taking the subway with us and ensuring we knew exactly where to go to catch our train back to the airport. Don't think twice, go with Gelsomina!
