He has a great personality and knows the city wells!

We had a great tour of the Montmartre area! Our tour guide, Elli, contacted us weeks before our arrival to find out specifically what we wanted out of this tour. My wife is a photographer so Elli designed the tour with that in mind. She pointed out all the interesting and iconic places, buildings and statues. What is so special about this tour was it was was designed just for us and our interest. Elli is very knowledgeable and highly educated, as well as lots of fun! As we walked the Montmartre area she explained the culture and history of the area and was easy to understand and talk to. A great tour! Also, because we were a bit apprehensive about taking the subway back to our hotel, Elli went with us! Took us to within 2 blocks of our hotel and showed us a great place to have lunch! This was definitely not part of the tour. Because of Elli this tour was way beyond what we expected!

We had a great tour with Elli! We walked the Marais area as Elli pointed out highlights and iconic places, buildings, and statues. She pointed out great places to eat and drink as well as educate us about the cultural make up and history of the area. My wife is a photographer. Elli knew this because of a questionnaire we filled out before we arrived in Paris. Elli also contacted us weeks before our arrival to find out what we wanted to do and see on this tour. She took us to and pointed out places that would be great to photograph and patiently waited until we finished taking photos. Elli is very knowledgeable and educated but very easy to talk to and communicate with . Because of Elli we absolutely got the maximum value from this tour!

My guide Jill was wonderful. She set the pace and route of our tour exactly as I had hoped. Having a private tour allowed me to engage more and ask lots of questions. Jill answered them all with knowledge and generosity.
