Maria led the first half of our tour and was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and super friendly. I felt like I had a personal friend showing me around the city. She had a lot of valuable knowledge that I could not have gotten on my own. I highly recommend this tour to anyone. Lili led the Louvre part of our tour and she was perfect for that role. She was such a great ambassador for LivTours as well as The Louvre itself. She is especially knowledgeable about the history of the art, etc. P.S. She escorted me right in the front for the Mona Lisa. Just WOW! Also, we loved being about to do the River Cruise the next day as we were exhausted after walking all day. But the River Cruise was a MUST DO. After hearing all about everything and being up close - seeing it from the Seine was a joy.
Our guide, Diane, was very knowledgeable and very personal. We were especially grateful to have a private guide to the Louvre which greatly enhanced our visit. We could not imagine navigating it without Diane’s expertise. Our one suggestion is that the tour should indicate that it is quite physically demanding for anyone with mobility issues.
Great tour! We drive along the gardens in a golf cart, this was fun for my kids. Then we walk through the palace. Excellent tour guide!
Phenomenal tour, hit all of the major sites and the guides were amazing and structured the tour to our group. The guides were very friendly and spoke very good English
This company stepped up in a huge way to make our tours perfect! I can’t recommend them highly enough. We had Dianne and Sophia and Anna throughout the day. Our day was thrilling and wonderful and so memorable
LivTours is the ultimate tour company. They customized it just for our group and had additional tour guides for our group where necessary with transport from site to site. We really were the VIPs and made it so easy to see so much of Paris so quickly.
Dear Michael, we're thrilled to know you enjoyed your personalized tour of Paris. Thanks for acknowledging our efforts to provide a seamless and enriching experience. Safe travels!
Went on this private tour our 1st full-day in Paris. The meeting time was 8:30AM at Moulin Rouge and because we didn’t want to navigate the Metro this early, we took an Uber. Our guide, Amber, was excellent. She was so full of knowledge about history and we learned a lot about the culture. We then walked towards Montmartre. It was a slow uphill walk with plenty of stops so it was a pleasurable. Saw the two remaining windmills then the next stop was the Sacré-Cœur Basilica. We then took the Metro with our guide to Île de la Cité. We spent time admiring the facade of the Notre-Dame Cathedral since it is still under construction. Lunch stop was at one of the restaurants in Place Dauphine which is public square located near the western end of the Île de la Cité. Nice, quieter area with lots of restaurants to choose from. This tour was advertised with a visit to the Louvre but I requested an itinerary change during booking. We went to Musée d'Orsay instead. See my separate review of the Mona Lisa First Viewing | Private Louvre Tour. We parted with our 1st guide and was handed off to another guide. I liked Ana and her expertise showed. She took us through highlights of the museum for 2 hours and we were exhausted by the end of it. We chose not to take the cruise this day but instead went back to the hotel to rest. We were able to use the cruise vouchers a few days later when it was more convenient for us. Overall, I would recommend this tour. It allowed us to visit so many places without having to plan the details.
Our family of five started our Paris visit with this whirlwind Paris in a Day tour. It was a full day, but absolutely worth it. We had three kind, engaged and knowledgable tour guides who set the stage for the rest of our amazing visit to Paris and adapted their tours to the interest and energy of our teenagers (thank you Maria, Georgia, and Avi - all amazing!). Our tour guides went out of the way to share ideas and suggestions for our visit, in addition to being a wealth of knowledge on the neighborhoods, sites, architecture, history, and art of Paris. We also appreciated that the River Cruise had a flexible date, as we waited until the next day to take the boat tour along the Seine. Lovely tour guides made all the difference for our full day adventure around Paris. Thank you!
Angel was great.He is Very knowledgeable and it was fun to start in Montmartre and end up at the Louvre. I would recommend Angel and this trip for great perspective of the city and its many wonders.
What an amazing way to see some of the highlights of Paris and get the history and knowledge behind the sites you see. The tour guides were phenomenal and ending the day with the relaxing river cruise was perfect! While there is no way to fit all of Paris into 1 day, it was definitely a way to take a lot in.
