How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
In a city known for its tightly-packed streets and fairytale architecture, do something a little unexpected: follow your local insider off the beaten track to laid-back Batignolles. An excursion through this quirky, village-esque district will show you a side of modern Paris you didn’t even know existed. There’s Art42, France’s first museum dedicated to street art, hearty Senegalese stews served at open-air organic markets, and the Place de Clichy – a lively intersection where you’ll swivel your head between giant cinema billboards. Ready to come down from the buzz? There’s nothing pretentious about a Batignolles bar, and a relaxing glass of wine and a small plate of charcuterie shared with your host is the perfect way to end the day.

Hristo was a great communicator and tour guide. We got to see the non-touristy side of Paris and enjoyed walking around to see some hidden gems.

My husband and I tour three countries. Paris was the only one that we got a private guide. It was a local. I wish we had done it on day one in the other countries. It was the best day we had overall by far! Roffy was amazing.

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!
