Excursion privée d'une journée à la parisienne

We booked this walking tour at the last minute on a rainy morning in Paris. Another tour company cancelled due to the rain but not Withlocals! Our guide was Anukool and he was such a great guide! First of all, we booked same day and he was so great about getting the late notice of our booking. He communicated with me to let me know when he’d arrive and I appreciated that proactive communication. Anukool really knew his history and shared so much of his knowledge in a fun and engaging way. We loved his style, his easy going nature and his ability to adapt based on what we had previously seen. We loved that he allowed us to stop at Angelina’s to get some hot chocolate since it was a little wet and chilly. It turned out being just our group of 7 and it was just perfect. He took the time to connect with each of us in some way and it made the experience that much more personal. We saw some great landmarks that we wouldn’t have seen had we not had a tour guide. I’d recommend Withlocals if all guides are like Anukool.

Lucien was a fountain of knowledge and catered for our family group of diverse ages by the information he shared. We may have walked over 7kms but it was an easy stroll filled with laughter and sightseeing.

Lucien was awesome to work with. Even before we arrived in Paris he was very responsive, gave us lots of recommendations for purchasing tickets ahead of time and great dinner spots. Once we met up with Lucien he was full of Paris history. We loved getting to hear stories and learn as much as we did and we never felt overwhelmed it was the perfect amount of detail. We also visited a basque restaurant for lunch with Lucien and the spot did not disappoint. As our day winded down he even taught us how to use the metro. If we come back we will 100% be booking with him again.

Lucien was an absolutely brilliant guide. We booked two tours with him (Latin Quarter and Les Halles originally). Not only was he gracious when I made an error on both days about where we would meet, he even agreed to change the tour to fit our needs at the last minute. Lucien had a playful wit, lovely countenance and he is very knowledgeable about the “off the beaten path” history of Paris. Our first tour was in the Latin Quarter, which gave us a depth of ancient Parisian charm. I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you Lucien!

Gelsomina was so interesting , informative, passionate and proud of her country!! Such a great experience. Would recommend her to all my friends and to anyone who is looking for a truly amazing tour of Paris !

Wonderful tour! He was very knowledgeable and share much history, but at the same time it was not overwhelming. Highly recommended !

Our guide, Maxime, was engaging and knowledgeable about the Latin quarter and the history of Paris, the Sorbonne, the senate and Luxembourg gardens and many many other points of interest. Our family enjoyed his tour very much and we highly recommend him.

Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and showed us many off-the-beaten track locations. However, we never got the promised coffee and onion bread.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Lucien was able to include several of the sites and museums that we were hoping to visit. He also gave us instructions on which ones were best to do on our own so that we were able to optimize our time together. Recommended an excellent lunch spot as well. My husband could’ve spent the entire week walking thru Invalides with Lucien! Overall, couldn’t have had a better day and so grateful that we found Lucien.

I had a great conversation with Gelsomina while she led me around the neighborhood, seeing a bunch of interesting architecture and getting a history lesson along the way. It was a really welcoming experience and I highly recommend it.
