Latest reviews from our guests

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!

Elli is so wonderful at being a spur of the moment type of guide as well. If you decide that you want to see something else or you have questions about something that is not actually part of the tour, she answers everything and her knowledge is quite incredible. She is very responsive, very timely, very professional, and is wonderfully knowledge about Paris and it’s history.
