Neda was a fantastic guide! She was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared so much interesting information about Paris, its history, and its culture. I had taken this walking tour before and enjoyed it so much that I booked it again for my family on their first visit to Paris. They absolutely loved it as well. Neda made the experience fun, informative, and memorable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Paris, whether it's your first time or a return trip!
Thank you for taking the time to share such kind words! I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour and the stories about Paris. It means a lot to know that my passion for this city made your visit special. I hope you enjoy the city and rest of your trip . Best regards Neda
I came from Canada with my family, we booked a tour with Neda, and we received essential information about Paris's culture and history. Neda is an incredible guide who took great care of us throughout the entire excursion.
Merci beaucoup pour vos si belles et attentionnées paroles. Ce fut un véritable plaisir de vous rencontrer. Je vous souhaite un merveilleux voyage à travers l’Europe Cordialement Neda
We are from Canada and we decided to take a guided walking tour. This three-hour tour was very informative and our guide gave us the necessary information on the fundamental points of the city of Paris (culture, history, anecdotes, and restaurants). I highly recommend all visitors book this tour because it gives you a very good overview for a first day in the capital. Thank you very much to our very friendly guide Neda.

Neda was very nice. I love the walk we did and the sites we saw. I would have preferred a more in depth explanation of the history that occurred at the sites we saw. It was just pointed out and described as 16th century without much detail.
Thank you very much for your review. Please note that there are certified guides who can provide more in-depth historical information, but they are naturally more expensive. My tour is a walking tour designed to cover five areas in three hours. Given the limited time, it’s difficult to go into great detail about the history of each place while visiting them all.
What a great tour! Very informative but also fun. Neda was a brilliant guide and I would definitely recommend taking this tour.

There are people who guide you through a city, and there are people who quietly change the way you walk through it. Walking through Paris with Neda, the city seemed to speak softly again. Neda shared its cultural stories not as a guide, but as someone who had learned to listen to its silences. When the tour ended, it felt less like leaving a guide and more like parting from a companion who had lent us her eyes for a few hours. Paris remained the same city, yet somehow we returned home with a different one. And all these things, were possible because of her knowledge, her insight, and her rare ability to reveal the invisible life of the city. Thank you Neda 💐

I had an outstanding experience with Neda in Paris. She was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging, bringing the city’s history, art, and culture to life in a way that felt both informative and personal. Rather than she shared fascinating stories and insights that helped us understand Paris from a deeper perspective. Thanks a lot Neda.
