Joann is the best tour guide I have ever had! She was so thorough and explained every historical detail (we are history buffs!) She graciously extended our time since we ended up being able to stay longer on our tour. She helped us maximize our time at the famous bookstore Shakespeare and Company and helped us pick great keepsakes for our kiddos, who are avid readers and fans of Hemingway. I will rebook with Joann every time I go to Paris.
Dear Joe, your kind words truly mean a lot to us — thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback. We're so glad to hear that Joann made a lasting impression with her knowledge and warm hospitality. It sounds like a wonderful day, and we hope your kiddos are enjoying their keepsakes! Your highest compliment, saying you'd rebook with Joann will absolutely make her day. She’ll be over the moon to hear it. Until your next adventure, we wish you and your family all the very best.
Jo met us on time, in place & put us right at ease immediately with her personable style. Walking & chatting with Jo was a great way to see & hear the history of the old part of town, the Kings & Revolutions, even touching on the Nazi occupation during ww2. There weren't any questions Jo couldn't answer. Coming from Australia, it was comforting to have such a wonderful time learning about Paris, upfront & personal. We learnt many interesting facts & tidbits we will surely recount over the coming years to friends & family. Again, thanks Jo, it was a marvellous few hours.

Jo was one of the best parts of our Paris trip. The tour she gave us was incredible. She was full of knowledge and you could just tell she loved what she did and who she worked for. Throughout our whole trip we referenced back to things Jo taught us - she was incredible! Honestly, book her - was worth every penny!

We had an incredible time on this tour with our wonderful and charming tour guide Joanne! Our two daughters (age 7 and 9) were mesmerised for nearly 3 hours by all of the fascinating and entertaining history we learned (including sitting at the location where French fries were invented and following in the footsteps of Charles Dickens). I would highly recommend this for all ages, particularly curious young children who want a different experience in Paris.
Dear Afsane, thank you so much for your heartwarming story! We're so pleased to hear that you and your daughters had such an enjoyable time on the tour with Joanne. It’s wonderful to know that she made the experience both fascinating and entertaining for even our youngest of guests. We’re delighted that your daughters were captivated by the history and enjoyed the unique stops, from the birthplace of French fries to following in Charles Dickens’ footsteps. It’s exactly these kinds of memorable experiences we aim to provide. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’re grateful for your kind words. We look forward to the opportunity to create more exceptional Travel Curious adventures for you and your family in the future.
Our tour began with statue of Henry IV at Pont Neuf where French history unfolded as a collection of stories told by our expert guide, Jo. She far exceeded our expectations, loves questions and weaves answers into her narration with joy and ease. It was an absolute pleasure! My husband and I loved every minute.
Dear Cornelia, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with Jo on our tour in Paris! We're thrilled to hear that Jo exceeded your expectations and made your exploration of French history so enjoyable and engaging. It sounds like her passion for the subject and her storytelling skills really brought the tour to life. If you have any photos from your time with Jo, we would love to see them! They would not only capture the memorable moments of your tour but also inspire others to discover Paris with Jo as their guide. We're delighted that you and your husband loved every minute of your experience. Your satisfaction means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for more adventures with Travel Curious in the future!
Georgia was an amazing guide that made our honeymoon in Paris extra delightful. Not only was she knowledgeable, but she made history and culture come to life by explaining so thoroughly as we walked in Paris. We were running 15 minutes late in the beginning but we truly appreciated when Georgia went above and beyond by giving us a longer tour than anticipated. We enjoyed the Seine River cruise after the tour and thanks to Georgia's tips on Paris, we were able to skip the long lines and explore the local attractions. A huge thank you to Georgia and Travel Curious for making our honeymoon in Paris a beautiful experience.
