Fantastic 5 star Tour - We did the Pere Lachaise Cemetery tour with Audrey. She was actually the best tour guide of our entire trip to Paris. The meeting place and time were accurate. She asked us if we had any personal preferences or choices for the tour. She was friendly and professional throughout the entire tour. She possessed great knowledge about everything we saw and was very open to questions and conversation. She also gave us some great recommendations for restaurants in the city. This is a great tour and we would highly recommend this tour with Audrey!

Amber is an exceptional tour guide. She has the knowledge, the stamina to walk all those miles, and the love of her work - We learnt a lot about the history of France, how it started and also about great men and women who lost their lives for the church and country, including nuns. The views are very beautiful and we took loads of pictures

Our tour with Daniel the Irish guy - Our walk with Daniel The Irish Guy was terrific. To start, he shared information about the Louvre, just enough so as not to spoil our tour of it in a few days. He shared French & Parisian history as we made our way to Sainte Chapelle, where he gave us a fantastic, in-depth tour inside and out. The history and information continued as we walked to Notre-Dame de Paris. No question of ours went unanswered! We had a few minutes to enjoy a drink together (a Spritz and a beer - so refreshing!) before boarding the large group tour boat for a short ride down the Seine. TIP for the short trip on the Seine - go straight to the counter to order your crêpe first so that they have time to make it!

LivTours' Adam brings Paris alive - We recently booked a half-day Paris City Tour with LivTours. It was fantastic. Our tour guide, Adam, was amazing. He’s a Canadian relocated to Paris and is truly in love with the city. He has a master’s degree plus a PhD in nuclear medicine, but his passion is being a tour guide and presenting Paris. He enthusiastically engages you and brings you into the history of Paris and what it is today. In all of our travels we have never experienced a more knowledgeable and passionate tour guide as Adam. If you are planning a trip to Paris and really want to get the feel of the city and its history, book your tours through LivTours and make sure you ask for Adam! Enjoy!!

Educative and fun - I loved walking through Pont des Arts and learning about the little island from which Paris City started to grow and be built. The boat cruise from Pont Marie was a perfect way to wind down the afternoon; short and breezy😊

Amazing Ferit! - I took this tour last Saturday. We were 6 in a group, perfect size. Ferit is the best guide! He has incredible knowledge, but it was far from boring lecture, he was very natural and friendly, and it all felt like hanging out with a very interesting friend, who shared many interesting anecdotes. The tour was very entertaining. I will recommend it to all my friends!

More than expected - We have been to Paris before and thought we had seen everything we needed to see. Our friends recommended LivItaly, which is now LivTours, so we game them a try. We are so happy we did! So much information from our guide and places we actually didn’t get a chance to see last time we were in Paris. I regret not booking a tour before. We are using them in Barcelona next!
