My family of four enjoyed learning about the history and arts of Paris with Dominque. She spoke in a way that my children were engaged and enjoyed the experience. It was also interesting for my partner and I.
Annabelle was excellent and we had a fun morning. Very interesting to see all the intricacies of MonteMarte. She was amazing and the family enjoyed the walk. Keep in mind it's hilly in Montemarte so we were weary of my son making it but he did....barely!
Dominique was outstanding. She showed us all the sights and made the tour very interesting for my 8 year old
Literally, the worst experience you could ever imagine. In line for 90 minutes, after the guide decided to talk about the Eiffel Tower in a wind tunnel instead of doing the “guided tour” in a long line which would have been a better use of everyone’s time. After risking pneumonia with small children, we proceeded to get in line that didn’t move for 70 minutes. Then we were told the elevator was stuck. Then ushered into another elevator bank with people cutting in line and then our guide disappeared even though she said she would take us to the 2nd floor and then show us the line for the summit. Everyone in the group was besides themselves and stunned at the inefficiency of the guide and the workers of the Eiffel Tower. An F - if that is even possible. A nightmare of epic proportions. Never use aviator again. Total fraud and ruined our vacation.
We had 2 tours with Laurita, the Highlights of Paris tour and the Montmartre tour on 2 different days. Both were excellent. She did a great job of showing our family notable places in Paris that kept everyone’s attention ( kids are 6 and 2). The highlights of Paris was great to do on our first day to know more about the city. She also gave good recommendations on how to use our time and what was good for kids. The montmartre tour was excellent as well showing us a totally different area of the city. We would definitely use the service again. Laurita was especially good at tying things together with art, architecture, and the politics of the time.
Our 3 hour city walking tour with Maeva was wonderful! She was so funny, and our kids (aged 7 and 9.5) took to her immediately. She offered kid-accessible info and now even weeks after our tour, the kids remember so much of the history she shared — and I attribute that to her kid-friendly approach. She was extremely knowledgeable and was able to give my husband and I extra historical details as well. In addition to the history, the kids loved the stops for (the award-winning) croissants and (the oldest in Paris) ice cream as well. Overall, the tour was a highlight of our trip and we can’t thank Maeva enough!!!!
Guide was tremendous with the kids, although the actual day didn't match the itinerary that was on the booking. We ended up going through Notre Dame with its re-opening, but had to change other booked tours to account for this change. We would have been better off clarifying ahead of time exactly what we were going to see. During the day itself, our guide was great with the kids and we loved the experience
Our tour guide, Helene, was amazing with our 8-year-old daughter. We went to a playground in the royal gardens, we saw the major landmarks that were on our bucket list and thanks to Helene's suggestion, we were able to have lunch at a cute cafe near the Eiffel Tower. It was a wonderful day for all of us.
Maeva was an absolutely wonderful host and tour guide. Our family (including 7 and 9 year olds) enjoyed the tour thoroughly - even in the very cold weather. Maeva made the tour engaging, fun, and interesting for all ages. I highly recommend this tour (especially with Maeva as a guide)!
Our guide Agathe was very friendly, communicated ahead of time to make some changes due to the preparations for the Olympics but ensured we got to see some amazing sites.
