hidden corners we loved

Our guide, Agnes, tailored the tour to explore a part of Paris we hadn’t seen before. She knew charming little spots to stop at—these weren’t the usual tourist places, but unique locations with lovely moments and perfect photo corners only a local would know. She also kept sharing historical details and context throughout the walk. A very kind and stylish guide, who we highly recommend.

Loved it

Wonderfully unexpected, honestly. One of the most engaging experiences we’ve had. It was our first time in Paris and Camille’s energy and depth of knowledge, from hidden cafés and bookshops to street art and local spots, made everything feel really special. She shared the city in such a natural, easy way that it never felt like a typical tour. I recommend this tour!!

Fantastic start in Paris

Clara was wonderful! We chose to do the tour on our first day in Paris after a long overnight flight, and she kept us engaged and moving the whole time. She knows the city incredibly well, has a lively attitude, and connected easily with our family of four, including our two teenage daughters. We covered many of the main highlights and it was a perfect way to see the top spots.

Perfect Tour

Isabella was an incredible tour guide! My husband and I had just arrived in Paris and chose to book a tour to get familiar with the city. Isabella met us directly at our hotel and delivered a top-quality experience. She was extremely knowledgeable about history while also sharing personal perspectives on local culture and activities.

Unforgettable

We’ve traveled through Europe many times and have met some great guides, but honestly, Isabelle stood out as the very best. Her deep knowledge of the region, her enthusiasm, and her genuine curiosity about us made the experience unforgettable. The pace of the tour was perfect — relaxed yet full of fascinating stops and insights. We discovered so many hidden gems that we’d have missed on our own. I only wish we’d had more time with Isabelle

Couldn’t Have Asked for a Better Paris Guide

We had the pleasure of exploring Paris with Hugo as our guide, and the experience couldn’t have been better. His wide-ranging knowledge of the city added so much depth to our visit. Hugo effortlessly engaged everyone in our group—from age 10 to 70—which says a lot about his talent and approach. Truly a top-notch guide and highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy Paris in a meaningful way!

A casual stroll through...

Fantastic tour, even better guide!!

This tour was absolutely fantastic, and not only because Paris is amazing — Achraf was himself a hidden gem!! We thoroughly enjoyed our time seeing all kinds of things we never would have considered otherwise, and in the company of Achraf these things were even better. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable, but was genuinely a joy to spend time with. If you are considering this tour, and especially if you’re considering Achraf, know that you can’t go wrong and will remember the experience for years to come!
