Unexpectedly Wonderful Highlights Tour - Adam was our tour guide for our one day highlights of Paris tour. He learned everyone’s name first and foremost and tried to keep everyone engaged and entertained. I was dually impressed with his depth of knowledge and background (ballet, nuclear physics, art, history - wow!), but also his positive energy and humor. It poured rain for Sacré Coeur and Montmartre, but he made light of it and highlighted the positive that we were some of the only people out, so we got to see more in less time. He also let those who needed extra rain gear take some time at a shop nearby to purchase it. He went into high level details on things I highly doubt other guides would do, especially in between stops (why the buildings looked a certain way or why the street was different). At The Louvre he powered through the crowds and really explained the big 3 (and a few other items that were of import)/had us really look at them for what they were: Art, as opposed to just snapping a selfie with them and moving on. He left us with good tips for future more in depth visits at all of our stops, too. And of course, he willingly took photos for everyone in their groups so they could have complete memories of their trip. Team Adam all the way! 5⭐️

A Day well Spent with a Knowledgeable Guide - My teenaged daughter and I spent the entire day discovering Paris with our guide Claire. She was well-spoken, knowledgeable and most of all, just a nice person to hang out with all day. She was thoughtful about the participants in our group (some of the climbing and longer stretches of walking) and was genuinely interested in sharing her insights and facts to us. We traveled on the train, ate at a cafe and saw the Mona Lisa. It was a long day but certainly worth it.

Well worth it and great tour guide! - I was late due to my hotel being far away and the trains being late. Despite this, I was able to contact Walks and meet the group at the second agenda item. Claire was great! She was very knowledgeable and spoke both French and English very well. She also cared. I honestly can’t think of any issues. We were given radios and earbuds, which helped a lot, especially when part of the group would lag behind. Also, the fact that so many things are included compared to other tours that are much more expensive, such as metro tickets and louvre skip-the-line tickets. And I gotta tell you - being able to walk past hundreds of people was nice. Will definitely go with this host again for other tours!

Book it now! - It was a lot of walking but well worth it! Our guide Manny was phenomenal. He shared many of the Paris hidden gems with us and all of the history. You must reserve a day for this during your next trip to Paris.

Amazing Amehd - The guide on this tour, Amehd, was outstanding! He provided great information about everything that we were seeing and, because of his education in history, was able to fill in many details about the art and architecture. The tour was all-encompassing. We saw all the highlights and the tour ended with a boat tour on the Seine. A perfect day!
