We hebben een erg leuke tour gemaakt met Joao Luiz die van de wandeling een mooie fotoreportage heeft gemaakt. Hij heeft op ons verzoek zijn tour nog aangepast om een specifieke bistro te bezoeken. Joao is een sympatieke gids en een creatieve fotograaf. Erg leuke ontmoeting

We're a family of 4 from the US and I wanted to tour Montmatre so after doing some research, I decided to book the photo shoot/walking tour/food tour with João and he did not disappoint! He was on time and met us by the metro station. After a brief introduction, the tour promptly started. João is very knowledgeable and professional. He showed us and recommended places that only locals would know. The photo shoot was amazing too, my daughters really loved it! 2 hours went by very quick and that's when you know the tour was amazing! I definitely recommend booking with João, it's like 3 tours in 1! Photo shoot/walking tour/food tour

Joao was a wonderful guide. He was friendly and showed us some lovely places around Montmartre. He was also very accommodating. We had our 9 year old boy with us, who was fascinated with Photography. Joao was very patient with him and encouraged him to take photos too. We all had a wonderful afternoon and our glad Joao was able to help us make some memories in Paris together.Friendly, Accommodating, Wonderful

We booked with Joao for a walk and photos of our family of five (two adults, three children ages 4, 7, and 9). The walk itself was lovely, we all really enjoyed seeing the neighborhood and stopping here and there for a few sweet treats. The photos were also really wonderful! He did a great job capturing some natural pictures of us all. I would definitely recommend! lovely stroll and great photos

Joao was a wonderful tour guide! Our family of four loved strolling the streets of the iconic Montmartre neighborhood. He showed us all the greatest local spots. It truly felt like we were hanging out with an old friend and the huge bonus is that we have pictures that captured one of the best experiences on our trip. Our kids ages 9 and 11 loved it too!Amazing Tour
