We had a very nice time viaint some of Paris's famous spots, and unlike a lit of French tours, Sébastien speak perfect English and was and absolute pleasure to spend time with, and had great recommendations of places to visit or eat in Paris. I absolutely recommend his tours without hesitation, especially if you are an American in Paris!

Unforgettable Montmartre Experience with Sebastien - My boyfriend and I had the most amazing tour of Montmartre with Sebastien. His perfect English made the experience enjoyable and easy to follow. Sebastien's passion for the area and its hidden gems shone through as he guided us through the beautiful little streets, sharing fascinating stories and history along the way. His enthusiasm was infectious, making the tour both informative and fun. We left with a deeper appreciation for Montmartre's charm and unique character. If you're looking for a top-notch guide who goes above and beyond, Sebastien is the one to choose. Highly recommended!

Great way to visit a new city - We hired Sebastian for a private full-day tour, and he took us to Montmartre and the Marais. Both great neighborhoods! It was our first time in Paris, and we loved having our own guide to show us around. It made navigating the city so much easier (we don't speak french) and we learned so much!

So much more to see than I thought - I had already been to Montmartre a few years ago with family, but I didn't realize how much I had missed. This tour was very interesting and a lot of fun. I especially liked the Moulin de la Galette and the stories that Sebastien told us. I highly recommend!

Amazing - Montmartre is one those places that gets even mor magical everytime you visit. We did it as a part of a Birthday gift to one of our best friends visiting Paris, and Our host Sebastien made it extra special and took us places that we as locals didn't know they exist. Thank you

Exceptional Parisian Exploration with SLL: Wine, Wonders, and an Absolute Blast! - It was a blast! The wine shop visit was a major highlight and the Montmartre tour was just as phenomenal! Quick lines made it smooth, and Sebastian was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable with answers to even the most random questions I had! I'd most definitely push for getting crepes! And ask for nearby suggestions of either restaurants or bars once you finish the tour! In short, I highly recommend this tour for an insightful and enjoyable true Parisian experience!
