Our 5-hour tour with Paolo in Paris was far more than just sightseeing — it was a journey we’ll carry in our hearts forever. For me, it was a chance to rediscover a city I’ve always loved. For my 13-year-old daughter, it was her very first time in Paris — and what an unforgettable introduction it was. From the very beginning, Paolo made us feel like we were stepping into a storybook. He took us through the heart of Paris — from world-famous landmarks to quiet, hidden corners that only a true local would know. Every stop came alive with his deep knowledge of history, culture, and architecture, and he had a gift for storytelling that kept both of us completely engaged, both in Spanish and English. What truly stood out was the way he connected with my daughter. He didn’t just talk to her — he involved her, asked her questions, and made sure she felt part of the experience. We laughed, we tasted delicious macarons and crepes, we learned, and we connected — not only with the city, but with each other. Paolo even helped us capture the moments of the day that we might’ve missed otherwise — turning them into lifelong memories. Thank you, Paolo, for creating such a beautiful chapter in our story. This mother-daughter trip was everything I hoped it would be — and more. We can’t wait to come back to Paris… and next time, we’ll bring the whole family to share it with you.An Unforgettable Day in Paris

We had a very enjoyable tour of the Marais with Paolo. It has long been our favourite district of Paris and we had visited it several times, but we saw and learned so much more during our tour. Paolo is hugely knowledgeable and makes his tours very interesting but also fun. We felt like we’d had a fascinating conversation rather than a ‘one size fits all’ tour. We thoroughly recommend Paolo. Excellent tour of the Marais

Nous avons adoré notre visite dans les rues de Montmartre en apprenant sur l'histoire de ce magnifique quartier de Paris! Paolo a rendu ce tour des plus agréables avec ses connaissances sur l'histoire, l'art et quelques faits intéressants qui ont marqué ce quartier. De plus, nous avons été chanceux car la température était parfaite! Merci beaucoup Paolo pour cette belle visite! 😍 Visite super agréable avec Paolo!

Paolo exceeded all expectations. He has a gift for distilling complicated histories into understandable explanations. His passion for art and history are immediately apparent. He guided us through the foundational elements for a first time visitor to Paris, all the while, explaining the significance of everything we passed. He wove in the history of Europe as we strolled. Do not hesitate to contact and book Paolo as your tour guide. You will not be disappointed in the slightest. Thank you, Paolo for welcoming us to Paris!Magnifique!!

5 horas caminando por París con placer y disfrute. Iba con mis padres y al principio tenía miedo de que se fueran a cansar, pero Paolo domina totalmente las calles, lugares, historias,… tiene un ritmo y manera de mostrarte joyas ocultas que ni sentimos el tiempo. Es un guía extraordinario. Caminata inolvidable
