We spent three glorious hours winding through the streets of Paris in a vintage Citroën 2CV, and it was another highlight of our trip. It is magical exploring Paris through the window of one of France's most iconic cars. We enjoyed the open road as Paris unfolded around us. Nico is an absolutely brilliant host. He is knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely passionate about the history of the city. He brought every neighborhood, monument, and hidden corner to life with detail. He had an incredible knack for making the tour feel personal rather than scripted. The three hours flew by. We covered so much ground but never felt rushed, and Nico timed everything perfectly. Do not hesitate. Book it, show up, and let Nico show you the Paris you came here to find. Absolutely a wonderful memory! On y va!🇫🇷
Pretty awesome way to view Paris. Got to go places and stop where the big busses cannot venture. Love the classic car look, feel, smell and sound. Great for car enthusiasts and couples who want a more intimate tour of Paris. When roads we blocked Noé (driver) was able to quickly improvise on the spot and take interesting detours.
I can’t think of a better way to see the sights of Paris than in one of these cool open topped automobiles. Florian Is so friendly, smart, & funny. My wife and I had the best time with him & learned a few things on the way. we even got some Emily in Paris gossip. also got our best photographs in all of Paris
We had such a wonderful time on this trip. I was a bit worried that it would be very touristy, but it was so well worth it. Our guide - Florian was so friendly and had such nice gems to share. It was a perfect way to interact with a local but w/o the crowds and really see Paris from a very different lens.
My mother doesn’t walk well, so this was an ideal way for her to see the city that she grew up in (she now lives in Paris, Texas. Go figure). We were picked up at our door and promptly swept away into the streets of Paris. The highlight was the Sacre Cuer, but the entire 3 hour trip was fantastic. Highly recommend this tour, and supporting their small business.
We took the 3 hour Grand Tour this morning. Nico was our guide. Nico was an excellent guide, very informative and fun! He stopped several places and took fabulous photos of us. A great introduction to Paris! The whole tour was perfect! Highly recommend!!!
I am not sure why, but I had pretty low expectations for this tour. However, it actually turned out to be a lot of fun and one of our best tours on this trip! It was so much fun to ride around in the 2CV with everyone looking, pointing and taking pictures. Our driver was great also, telling us interesting stories about Paris and the places we were seeing, going down narrow streets where no other car could fit and generally doing a great job driving. We took some cool pictures and really enjoyed the tour.
The tour we had quite fun and exciting, we saw quite a bit in the three hours. Kind of felt like we were in a movie. An great way to see Paris. The stops for Photos was great and we travel through streets and neighborhoods that a normal tour wouldn’t be able to get to and through! The guide, a Parisian from birth was exceptional! We will do it again!
As this was my teen age daughter's first trip to Paris, we thought it would be fun to have a private tour in this classic car. The tour was fantastic! Florian was our guide and he was excellent. He knew lots of history, made some stops for photos and a special stop at a patisserie for amazing treats. It was so fun to see how people reacted to the vintage car, lots of smiles and photos as we passed by. I highly recommend this small company. The tour was a highlight of our trip!
Nice tour in a classic car. Informative and fun with Florien! Glad we took the time to experience this
