Absolutely worth doing the Trip with Paolo. Lots of interesting details. We were a family of four, the children being 17 and 20. Both not at all interested in being guided around, in arts and especially not that evening. In the end, they asked a lot of questions and told us, that Paolo was great and despite they didn't want to go out again, it was worth it participating. My husband and I loved the tour and the way, Paolo presented all the information. He was humerous, had lots of patience with the kids and didn't loose the good mood so in the end, all of us had a really good time. Thanks so much, Paolo!Adorable

Our family of five (with kids ages 9, 12 and 15) had a wonderful time getting an insider’s view of Paris with Paolo. Not only is he very knowledgeable about the history of the city (architectural styles, the monarchy, the Revolution, Napoleon and beyond), he also is great fun to spend the day with. He entertained all of us, made sure to engage the kids and shared interesting stories that we never would have learned on our own. He also gave us great tips for the rest of our stay, including texting us several outstanding restaurant recommendations after the tour had concluded. Paolo has a very warm and welcoming personality, and he is just a fascinating person in general, having lived in many cities around the world. By the end, it felt like we had a friend in Paris. Paolo’s tour was absolutely a highlight of our trip. I highly recommend booking this special experience with him. Excellent Local Guide

Our group had a great afternoon with Paolo. He shared a lot about the history of the area that we’d have never known. He had a very easy going personality. The tour was relaxed and fun, and of course he took us to some fantastic places for local food. The 3 hrs flew by and we all left very satisfied with the experience. Food tour in Saint Germain

The tour with Paolo was an absolute highlight of our trip to Paris! He is incredibly friendly and personable, and from the very first moment, we felt completely at ease. His passion for Paris is contagious, and his knowledge of the city, its history, and its hidden corners is truly impressive. We saw the iconic sights , but what made the tour special were the charming neighborhoods and hidden gems Paolo showed us—places you’d never find without a local guide. He shared fascinating stories and gave us his unique perspective on Paris—insightful, entertaining, and full of life. What we especially appreciated was how flexible he was, tailoring the experience to our tour. Bottom line: If you want to truly experience Paris, not just see it, Paolo is the guide you need. 100% recommended!Absolute highlight in paris

Paolo was relaxed , easy to hangout with , very flexible and very knowledgeable about the places he took us to. We had a great time with him and would recommend him anytime. He did his tour with us just before catching a flight overseas. That was very generous!Fun and informative NYE

My daughter and I had a great time with Paulo exploring Paris. Lots of history and covered a ton of ground in the time we had. Even managed to fit in some shopping and a lovely lunch. He was great keeping my 16 year old engaged. Paris tour

The title of this review says it all. Our large family 8 had such a wonderful time! The fact that it was frigidly cold didn't even matter! 😆 My husband and I have been to Paris once before, but the rest of the family had not. He is so knowledgeable about so much history and architecture of every building in Paris, he made every step a learning and exciting experience. I continually said, "I never knew that!" He was great with the kids- 10, 15 and 17, and encouraged questions of all types! We discussed history, current culture and daily life in Paris, and received the best recommendations for the remainder of our trip. If you're trying to decide who to choose for your guide - look no further. This man is wonderful! Thanks, Paolo!PAOLO. IS. EXCELLENT!
