Fantastic Afternoon

We had an excellent time with Carlos Hernan. He did a great job tailoring the walk to our interests, including those of my 6-year old son.

Wonderful tour of Paris

We’ve been to Paris a few times before, but our private walking tour with Carlos gave us a completely fresh perspective. He took us to hidden corners and lesser-known gems we had never discovered on previous visits. Carlos was fun, engaging, and easygoing, with a great smile and a warm energy that made the day truly enjoyable. He tailored the tour to suit our interests and pace, making it feel completely personal. Along the way, he shared fantastic recommendations for restaurants, museums, and galleries to check out during the rest of our stay — tips that turned out to be spot-on. It was a perfect introduction to Paris, both for first-timers and seasoned visitors. Highly recommended!

Helpful & kind

G was awesome. Knew the city and gave "insiders" info on the city. Helped us navigate the RER and metro, shared info about the French people, customs, history, education system. Well worth the money!

Rachelle was amazing. She is warm and engaging. It felt like we had a new Parisian friend. She took us around Le Marais and St. Germain des Prés and Luxembourg Gardens. It was so wonderful to hear about the places, culture, history and little known facts. She showed us her favorite croissant bakery, macaron shop, and book store. We even went to the pharmacy and she showed us the French skin care products we must take home. She was great with my teenage daughter too! I wish Rachelle could have come on the rest of our trip!
