Our guide picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. He was very knowledgable and friendly, took us to all the sights we wanted to see ( and more), and we were able to stop at those we chose to take a closer look and get photos. We were only in town for one day, so this was a great way for us to see Paris. The van was very comfortable and air conditioned (it was very hot outside, over 100 F). I would highly recommend this tour!!!
We had a great experience on this tour because of our driver/guide Hicham. He entertained us with all the history of the iconic places he took us to. Not only did he stop at these places but he also allowed us time to quickly pop in to view the inside of Sacre Couer and to take photos by the Eiffel Tower. He timed it so that we would be there when it lit up but unfortunately the tower didn’t cooperate! C’est la vie! Hicham was also very accommodating in regard to pickup location and drop off. This tour is a great way to see “most” of Paris. We highly recommend it!
Fantastic Tour. Our guide, Rafiq, actually covered for the owner of the company. He could not be any better !! He took us everywhere, explained all that he could and offered his own experiences as well. We even hired him to take us to the airport the next morning and took his card to contact him whenever we are back in Paris. Again, a wonderful experience thanks to a fantastic guide. We highly recommend him.
Our family took the 2 hour tour. The driver, Hicham, was very accomodating. He offered interesting facts and stops. He allowed us ample time to visit Notre- Dame which was a top on our must see list. Very comfortable way to see sites. I highly recommend them and give a thumbs up on their green efforts using electric.
Thank you very much for your kind review! I’m delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed the tour Thank you again for your recommendation, and I hope to welcome you back in Paris in the future!
Very pleasant; the driver was attentive at all times. Due to a setback, the Spanish guide could not carry it out, but he put all his effort into translating the places we visited. 200% recommendable. Leaving and taking photos with us
Muchísimas gracias por su comentario. Me alegra mucho saber que disfrutaron de la experiencia. Lamento nuevamente el pequeño contratiempo con el guía en español, pero hice todo lo posible para que pudieran disfrutar cada lugar visitado. Gracias por su amabilidad y les agradezco mucho su recomendación y espero volver a verles en su próxima visita a París, esta vez en español :) Un cordial saludo Hicham
We had an excellent experience on this private Paris tour in the electric London cab. What really made it stand out was how flexible and accommodating the entire experience was for our family, especially for my mother, who can only walk short distances. The tour was completely customized around her mobility needs, and the driver adjusted stops, pickup locations, and timing without hesitation. The cab itself is fantastic for sightseeing. The large windows and panoramic roof give you much better views than a regular car, and the spacious interior easily accommodated our walker, shopping bags, and all six passengers comfortably. It’s also wheelchair accessible, which would make this a great option for many travelers who need a more accessible way to experience Paris. Our driver was knowledgeable, easy to understand, and incredibly patient. He shared great history and background information at each stop, answered all of our random travel and translation questions, and always gave us as much time as we wanted to explore. We even added pastry stops along the way, which became some of our favorite moments of the day. This tour works perfectly as a first introduction to Paris, but for us it was an ideal way to see everything we had missed earlier in the trip. It would also be an excellent option on rainy days since you still get such great visibility from inside the cab. One thing that especially impressed us was the flexibility. Our visit to the Musée d’Orsay ran much longer than expected, and the driver easily adjusted both the pickup and drop-off locations to make things easier for us. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a comfortable, personalized, and stress-free way to explore Paris. The combination of the unique vehicle, knowledgeable guide, and exceptional flexibility made it one of the highlights of our trip.
Thank you so much for this incredible and detailed review. I’m especially happy to know that the tour was comfortable and enjoyable for your whole family, particularly for your mother :) It was a real pleasure answering your questions, sharing the history of Paris, and adjusting the day so everything worked perfectly for you. I hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you and your family again on your next visit to Paris See you soon
Excellent time. Very knowledgeable. We even Stop for photos. Went to all the top tourist attractions Would highly recommend this tour.
Thank you very much for your kind review and for your recommendation. I hope to see you again on your next visit to Paris!
Hicham was the absolute BEST! We initially met Hicham on a short return taxi ride to our apartment. Completely impressed by his roomy car and his very informative and interesting narrative of historic and interesting places we passed on our way home, we asked for his contact information so we could schedule with him for future rides. We scheduled with him to take us to the train station when we were departing Paris for London on Eurostar. My husband is 90 years old and Hicham was beyond helpful!! He navigated a very circuitous route to pick us up at our apartment on Il de la Cite when Pont Neuf was completely closed to traffic due to road repairs. He handled all of our luggage for us and went to great lengths to keep us dry in the pouring rain by getting out of the car in front of Gare du Nord station, while insisting we wait in the dry car, as he went to find a porter with a luggage trolly to haul everything to passport check and customs. My husband and I could honestly not have managed without the help of Hicham. Hicham is proud of his beautiful city of Paris, takes great pride in his work, great care of clients, and has a dream to go to San Diego, California to visit his friends. I hope that when he gets there he is received with as much graciousness as he showed to us.
Thank you Robin from the bottom of my heart for this incredibly touching message. I’m especially grateful for your trust, and I’m very happy I could make your journey to the station comfortable and stress-free. Take great care of yourselves, and I hope to see you again one day in Paris. With my warmest regards Hicham
The best thing about our trip so far. Thanks to the driver for all the great knowledge he gave us. He was the best did everything we wanted him to do.
Thank you so much Jeffrey for your kind words! I’m really happy to hear that this was the best part of your trip and I hope to see you again on your next visit
We spent a weekend in Paris, with very little time and far too many things we wanted to see. On Sunday afternoon we still had four wishes left on our bucket list, but time was running fast and the Paris Marathon was making traffic a real puzzle. We thought we would have to give up something. First stop: Montmartre. Then we would decide. And that is where Hicham entered the story. He took us to Montmartre, kind, cheerful, and instantly pleasant to be around. We explained our ambitious mission: after Montmartre, we still dreamed of seeing Notre-Dame de Paris, Eiffel Tower, and Arc de Triomphe. He reminded us about the marathon, the road closures, and how difficult it would be. Before leaving, he gave us his phone number in case we needed help later. After visiting Montmartre, we checked the time. We still had a couple of hours. Why not dare the impossible? We called Hicham: “Can you come back for us? We’d like to try!” Just fifteen minutes later, there he was again. He picked us up and navigated the traffic like a captain steering through a storm, cleverly avoiding every blocked road. One by one, our three dream stops appeared before us. Along the way: laughter, photos, stories, and explanations about the monuments and neighborhoods we passed. We said goodbye near the Arc de Triomphe, with huge smiles and unforgettable memories. We now have his contact details... and honestly, on our next visits to this wonderful city, we won’t be calling anyone else.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. It was a real pleasure meeting you and being part of your Paris adventure! I remember your “mission impossible” very well, and I’m so happy we managed to make it happen together despite the marathon and the traffic challenges. Thank you again for your trust and your kind words. See you again soon, Hicham
