A magical Paris tour in a beautiful vintage Citroën! The car was stunning and the guide—truly the best in town—made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommended!
This was the best way to start our first visit to Paris! Benjamin was great, he was kind, funny and super informative about the history of Paris. He drove us all over & showed us all the big sights and let us stop to take pictures. Great way to get an overview of Paris in a few hours. The car was so cute too! 10/10 experience
Wow! What a great experience! Benjamin was amazing! This is by far the best way to see Paris. The classic car was beautiful and comfortable, the open roof made for great viewing. The tour was very informative, Benjamin was wonderful. He was very responsive and easy to communicate with. He made everything super easy. This was the highlight of our trip and a must do! I highly recommend!
Hi Danielle, thanks you so much for your review. It was very nice to meet you. I wish you the best
My husband's favourite car - this was the perfect birthday present. Benjamin was held up in traffic but regularly texted us to keep us updated on his progress. He was charming and full of information about the sights along the route. He kindly extended the tour to take us to our next destination to make up for his late arrival (not his fault) and allowed us plenty of time to take photos in a beautiful location. Would definitely recommend
Thanks you so much for your kind review and for your understanding about this busy day. Was very nice to spend this time with you guys. All the best
Benjamin was super attentive to our requests! A tailor-made tour! A thousand thanks to him! Relevant, efficient flexible and generous! Go ahead!!! Unique experience!
Merci beaucoup !
Sacré-Cœur was the highlight. We were able to get out and admire the cathedral and the view. Our guide/owner, Benjamin, was most informative about the history of the church and Paris, which he clearly loves.

Hello ! I think this comment is a mistake, but that's okay, I remember about you, I sent you a text ;) Was very nice to meet you. Hoping to see you next time !
I cannot say enough amazing things about Benjamin and this fabulous tour. He is so knowledgeable and talented!! It feels like you are just driving with a friend who has a really cool car-no tourists here! We even got to have some champagne! I can’t say enough about the car-it felt so cool and cute to drive the streets of Paris in such a well-preserved and gorgeous vintage car! We were able to see so much of Paris and learn so much as Benjamin knows so much history and information on Paris. I can’t wait to book this tour the next time I am in town-I am recommending him to EVERYONE!!! Merci Beacoup Benjamin! Xoxo
Hi, thanks you very much for your kind review :)
We liked the idea of an overview of Paris. But the traffic was horrible(as usual) and we were stuck in it much of the time. Half the time we couldn’t hear or understand what our guide was saying. He needed a mike/audio system. Definitely not worth the high price.
Hello Steven, Thank you for sharing your opinion, even bad, it always helps me to improve the quality of my tours to provide an unforgettable experience to my clients. I understand your disappointment. First of all in terms of heavy traffic, Paris is a very busy city (since the 19th century and this has made its history and its anecdotes!). We have to deal with that to visit Paris anyway, and the 2h duration includes time lost in traffic jam. So we saw all the places the tour promises us to see. Despite heavy traffic I don't do short tours and we saw what you paid for, doing breaks and taking our time for every places, with historical narration. Second, you told me during the tour that you were deaf and that I needed to speak loudly. That's what I did, I spoke very loudly, almost screamed, to make sure you could listen to my historical narration. I really did my best for you. Im very sorry but I think the problem here is that you mentionned yourself you had some difficulties to hear. The problem here doesnt come from me. So I fully understand your disappointment, you are pointing out 2 problems here that are out of my control and have nothing to do with the quality of my tours. I don't think that's so fair, but regardless, it was nice meeting you, and I hope you enjoyed your trip to our beautiful city. All the best, Benjamin
What a fun and lovely experience! Benjamin is a kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating host, and his beautiful Citroen DS was a sight to behold! Benjamin was prepared with an interesting and comprehensive tour agenda, and was also happy to discuss any additional questions we had. He maneuvered the car through Paris main and side streets, people taking our picture everywhere we went because this car is just gorgeous. The pre-seatbelt back seat was plush and comfortable, and we lucked out with a sunny spring day for riding around with the top open. He offered photo ops at some stops and it turns out that he’s also an excellent photographer! What a special way to launch our Paris vacation - we would recommend this tour without hesitation.
Thanks you very much, it was really nice to meet you
