Punti salienti di Parigi: tour privato a piedi di mezza giornata

I have been doing tours with April in Paris for the last 9 years and I will never visit Paris without booking a tour with April. In my last trip I brought my husband and daughter for their first visit to Paris so the Highlights tour was the perfect fit. I love that the tour starts right in our hotel or accommodations lobby which immediately offers context and interesting facts to the neighborhood you’re staying in. April also offers cute tidbits of French language, history, current affairs, and personal stories to make every tour special and unique. I could say so many wonderful things about the content of April in Paris tours, the fantastic organization and preparation, the personalization to the areas that mean the most to you, the tourist…. but none of those incredible highlights capture the lovely, friendly, hospitable nature of April and the guides themselves. A tour with April feels like a visit to a friend’s hometown which is such a welcome experience when away from home. Don’t second guess the opportunity to book a tour with April In Paris, you will not regret it.

April was just wonderful from the beginning until the end!

April was honestly one of the highlights of our trip. She was so kind, welcoming and generous with her time. She gave us heaps of great ideas for family-friendly things to do, shared local contacts, and helped us plan activities/restaurants that our kids absolutely loved. April was amazing with our children - so patient, engaging and genuinely caring - and they took to her straight away. Thank you for going above and beyond for our family. Your advice, warmth and local knowledge made such a difference to our time in Paris, and were so grateful. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend April in Paris tours to anyone visiting Paris, especially families travelling with children and foodies.

April is an amazing tour guide. She loves Paris and her enthusiasm for the city are contagious. We flew in to Paris from Los Angeles and went straight into the half day walking tour that afternoon. It's a great way to start a Paris visit. In addition to seeing attractions that day, April got us oriented with Paris geography and helped us get metro cards (we ended up using the metro the entire trip). April is a very warm person. I highly recommend her half day walking tour to start your trip to Paris.

April worked with me for months ahead of our visit to customize an extremely special set of experiences for my 60th birthday celebration. It was my first time in Paris and I cannot imagine it going any better. She was so knowledgeable, passionate and flexible, making changes on the fly as necessary. Everyday ended with April sending us pictures and a recap of our day. We are already planning our next visit and definitely plan on using April again!

Do not hesitate for a minute to hire April in Paris! We had the most amazing half-day tour in May. April led us on an incredible walking tour from our hotel in the Marais to Notre-Dame, through the Latin Quarter, to the flower market, back to Notre-Dame, and finally to Fleur de l'Île for lunch with a beautiful view of the cathedral. We were in Paris for a wedding that happened to fall close to our 10th anniversary. It was our first time in this magical city and I knew there would be so much to see that we needed some local expertise to help us make the most of our time. Our eight-year-old son also happens to be obsessed with Notre-Dame de Paris—to the point that my husband and I joked he was going on the trip for Notre-Dame and staying for the wedding and souvenirs! When I first reached out to April, I shared all of this with her, and she absolutely delivered. She communicated wonderfully throughout the planning process, explained what she had in mind for our tour, and made everything easy from start to finish—including letting us know when she arrived at our hotel so we could find her easily. As we walked through the Marais, April shared fascinating history and fun facts, including introducing us to FlashInvaders, a citywide game that lets you "collect" the mosaic tile artworks hidden throughout Paris. Knowing how excited our son was about Notre-Dame, she took extra time to learn even more about the cathedral so she could share some truly incredible details with him. She also told us about her personal experience of being in Paris when the fire occurred and what it was like to witness the city's response to such a heartbreaking event. April made our visit to Notre-Dame incredibly special and memorable. She kept our son's attention the entire time, which is no small feat! Afterward, she took some wonderful family photos and then led us to her favorite souvenir shop, where our son found the perfect Notre-Dame keepsake to bring home. As we continued through the Latin Quarter, April shared more stories and local insights and took us to the most delicious crêpe stand—one we're still talking about weeks later. (Two of us ordered sugar and lemon, and one chose butter and sugar.) We then visited the Marché aux Fleurs, which was absolutely beautiful and filled with stunning blooms. Toward the end of the tour, we stopped at the outdoor exhibit at Notre-Dame to learn more about the fire and restoration efforts and listened as our son and April enthusiastically discussed theories about the cause of the fire. It was such a thoughtful touch that she embraced his curiosity and excitement. Finally, April took us to Fleur de l'Île, helped us secure a table with a view of Notre-Dame, and made sure we didn't leave without trying what she called the "healthiest" and most delicious Berthillon ice cream. We had an absolutely wonderful time with April. She perfectly tailored the tour to our family's interests and made our first visit to Paris unforgettable. We would not hesitate to book another tour with her and hope to do so the next time we're lucky enough to visit Paris. Thank you, April, for helping create one of our favorite memories from an incredible trip.

Our family used April and her team for two tours - the Louvre and history of beauty and both were fantastic! Our family has two teens and both enjoyed the tours as much as the adults. The guides were great at engaging them and making history fun. I have one kid that loves art and another that would prefer never to see a museum and both said they loved the tours! They also make you feel so comfortable and like friends immediately which made the days just so easy and enjoyable. I would not hesitate to recommend April and wish I could visit again just to see her and her team. ❤️

I can only rave about April and Dunja as our tour guides! April led us on a walking tour of Paris, sharing stories that brought the city's rich history to life. Her deep passion for Paris is evident in everything she does. She has an incredible ability to uncover hidden gems and point out fascinating details that most visitors would otherwise miss. Beyond her knowledge, April is warm, kind, and exceptionally personable, making the experience feel less like a tour and more like exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend. Dunja was our guide at Versailles, and, just as she did during our visit last year, she brought the palace and its history to life with engaging stories, historical insight, and enthusiasm. Her expertise and storytelling transformed what could have been simply a beautiful visit into a truly memorable experience. She skillfully connected the people, events, and grandeur of Versailles in a way that was both educational and entertaining. Together, April and Dunja made our trip unforgettable. Their knowledge, passion, and genuine care for their guests set them apart. If you're considering a tour with April in Paris, don't hesitate; you'll come away with a deeper appreciation for Paris and France.

April gave the two of us an eight hour, 15 km walking tour (along with a couple of subway rides) of virtually all of the major monuments in Paris. She was really friendly and easy to talk to/get along with and very knowledgable. We had a tremendous day. What an amazing experience! I highly recommend her. Thanks again, April!

April is simply outstanding in every way. We spent 4 days with her in May touring Paris and Champagne; she could not have been more welcoming, informative, funny and genuine. She sized up our group ranging up to 88 years old and adapted accordingly, taking my mother-in-law aside for her own private tour at times so that we could explore on our own. From history lessons to the top finds in fashion and food, her years of living in Paris shine through. We even have a "Diplomate de Sabre" in our group to show for it! Well worth it, we hope to return for a repeat visit with April in Paris.
