Aneta is a vintage shopper’s dream guide
I signed up for Aneta’s tour to vintage shop with my daughter in Paris - a dream come true. Aneta brought my dream to life. The first shop she took us to, the fashion was amazing and the owner was so sweet - made us cups of coffee. After a few moments of observing us and questioning, she took us to a lovely vintage consignment shop, another lovely shop owner that was just our cup of tea. The selection was amazing. We had so much fun, purchased a few beautiful items but I wanted them all. And through it all, Aneta’s commentary and gentle guidance - perfect. I didn’t want it to end. I visit Paris at least once a year and I will book Aneta’s tour every time.

Perfect Inspiration for an Artist
Bibiana met us at the Musée D'Orsay and gave us a private tour based on my interests as an artist. The transition from Neoclassicism to Impressionism was brought to life for us based on Bibiana's profound knowledge and addictive enthusiasm. We were so enthralled with her story, we were barely aware of the time, or the crowds of visitors around us. I would highly recommend Bibiana as a Paris museum guide.

The best ever tour guide!
Fi told us a story and took us on a journey through the history of art and the museum. I was a novice, knowing very little, and my colleague was more knowledgeable. Fi catered for both. Entertaining! Simply perfect! I’d do the same again in a heartbeat.

Another great experience
We had the pleasure of having Welly as a guide in 2023. When we returned to Paris to this year, we were excited to find he was available to give us a tour again, so we booked him again. As before, Welly was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. We learned so much from him and also had a lot of fun. We’ve visited Paris multiple times, but Welly is still able to surprise us with so many historical facts and general knowledge about Paris. We will definitely book him again in the future!
