Great activity our guide Ewan was very knowledgeable about everywhere we walked and even in between. He adjusted himself to our style and developed a rapport with us quickly. We took the tour on our first visit to Paris as a way to get to know the city quickly and learn the metro also ticked off those boxes plus just a great tour.
Unfortunately, another group that was supposed to join did not show up but luckily for us, we had our own private tour. This is the best way to get an incredible feel for Paris in a very short period of time. We learned so much and enjoyed this tour immensely. Great guide!
Thanks a lot for this lovely review, it was a pleasure to spend a day with you!
Ewan was an excellent guide to the sights of Paris. The pace was perfect, we saw so much, and he was very informative. It was great to be able to ask endless questions, and his recommendations have given us a taste of what we’d like to explore further. Thanks for a great day.
Thanks Judith! I'm very glad you enjoyed the tour! I hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip!
Ewan is an exceptional guide with a very comprehensive knowledge of Paris. He's passionate and has many anecdotes and surprising details to share at every street corner. We were immersed in history; it was a true journey through time! Ewan is also very pleasant, funny, and witty. We had a wonderful time with him as a family. He knows how to capture the attention of parents as well as children and teenagers! We absolutely recommend him!

An absolutely helpful tour that gave a wild variety of city experience-including riding on different metro lines! Our tour guide was flexible, knowledgeable and kind.
This tour was incredibly engaging and educational. Even though I've been to Paris several times, I was excited to uncover fresh and intriguing details and stories that enriched my appreciation of the city. I can honestly say this is my most enjoyable tour of Paris so far! Would highly recommend.
We were only in Paris 2 days, so we wanted to see as much as possible. Ewan was very informative. He took us to all the major sites and allowed time to stop for coffee and snacks, explore and take pictures.
Very interesting and informative tour. Having visited Paris many times, we were so glad we did this tour as we learnt so many interesting facts and stories to give us a deeper insight in to the city. Ewan’s wit and extensive knowledge kept even our teenagers engaged. Definitely recommend it. Thank you! Sarah and family
It was a pleasure meeting you and your family Sarah, happy travels!
