Best Tour Guide in Paris - The ticketing process was incredibly easy. The website was simple to navigate — even for someone like me! The tour description immediately caught my attention, and I’m happy to say it absolutely delivered. Before the tour, Jeremy reached out personally to make sure I knew exactly where to meet and how to recognize him, which made everything seamless from the start. Jeremy did an outstanding job leading the tour. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the sights and had a great way of drawing me into the conversation to keep things engaging. The little nuggets of information he shared are things I’ll definitely be using later when I’m walking around with coworkers and friends. What really stood out was how natural the entire experience felt. It never felt scripted or rehearsed — it felt like strolling through Paris with a friend who happened to know all the insider details. When Jeremy mentioned we only had 10 minutes left, I was genuinely surprised. The two and a half hours flew by. I’ve been on numerous “free tours,” and Jeremy is by far the best guide I’ve had. I’ll definitely be booking with him again the next time I’m in town. Thank you, Jeremy!

Lovely tour - Fantastic tour. Jeremy was so kind to contact us and offer us an alternative tour because of the bas weather we would have had in our initial booking. And again, he was so kind to give us a private tour. With Jeremy and the new guise tour star, Iris, we walked for two hours in the sunny Latin Quarter discovering some hidden gems of the city of the lights. My daughter and I enjoyed the tour very much, thanks a lot.

It’d be rude not to ….. - Had a fab tour with Jeremy. He made the Latin Quarter tour totally interesting showing us around all the nooks and crannies. Restaurant, Au Vieux Paris d'Arcole, a definite Brucie Bonus. Stickers for guessing pub quiz style questions thrown in for good measure. Such fun was had by all (well two, basically a private tour)! Thank you

Paris most amazing tour! - We ended up having a private tour with Jeremy, as no one else showed up that day: we couldn’t have been luckier. It was one of the best walking tours we’ve ever had, and we’ve had many, full of fascinating anecdotes and delightful surprises we would never have discovered on our own. We definitely suggest it as one of the first things to do in Paris as it also helps in navigating the city. Thank you so much, Jeremy! We won’t forget you and hope to return to Paris someday.
