"Our pastry tour with Rachelle was the perfect way to kick off our time in Paris! Not only did we get to indulge in some of the most delicious pastries and treats across the city, but we also came away with a deeper understanding of history and culture that enriched the rest of our trip.
Rachelle was warm, engaging, and full of fascinating stories — she had a wonderful way of connecting with everyone in our group. Since it was our first day in Paris, her advice and local tips made a huge difference for the rest of our stay.
Above all, what made the tour so special was how much Rachelle clearly loves Paris and her passion is contagious! This experience was an absolute highlight and we’d recommend it to anyone visiting Paris, especially at the start of their trip!"
"We had the absolute pleasure of touring the Louvre with Hugo as our guide, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Paris. Hugo is a wealth of information — incredibly knowledgeable, articulate, and passionate about art and history. What impressed us most was his ability to engage every member of our group, from my teenagers to my 80-year-old mother. He struck the perfect balance between education and storytelling, bringing the museum to life in a way that was both accessible and captivating.
Although Hugo was open to customizing the tour to our preferences, we asked him to lead the way and show us what he thought we shouldn’t miss — and we’re so glad we did. He gave us insights and context we never would have received on our own, making the artwork and exhibits feel meaningful and alive.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Fe. She was able to direct us to pieces of interest rather than us trying to fumble our alway through by ourselves. She was very informative and engaging especially with our children who are 14, 12 and 9. Thank you Fe"
"Paola was a fantastic guide - we learned so much from her. She was also excellent with our kids when 8, 10 and 12, sharing stories and facts that they’d understand and remember. "
"Paola led our family of 5, 1 with a cane, 1 sulky teenager and an enthusiastic 9 year old on a wonderful tour of the louvre. She kept our kids engaged and the pacing was appropriate for our party. My wife and I had done the louvre by ourself years ago and the experience with Paola was noticeably better. Overall perfect tour."
"Julien was a wonderful tour guide! He really explained the meanings behind the art and was able to engage my children in all the paintings and art that we saw! Now the whole family will look and view art differently! Thank you Julien!"
"My family of four-including two tween girls- are so glad we booked this guided tour of the Louvre with Paola. From her welcoming greeting, she effortlessly led us through the intense crowds. Her highlights tour was informative & engaging, like talking with a knowledgable dear friend! Also appreciate she took family photos & shared her tips for taking great pictures of the artworks themselves. Highly recommend!"
"Paola is a great guide and lover of the ‘story’ or history behind the artist and the art object being viewed. She used her iPad as an adjunct to display explainations of art pieces she was describing, mading history come alive!
Her knowledge was excellent and extensive. Paola was also gregarious and very considerate of our physical needs to stop and rest now and then. She interceded when our view was obstructed, and made the ‘overwhelming Louvre’ manageble. The Louvre art made us ‘Awe struck and inspired’. We highly recommend Paola as a great guide!

"Our family of four loved our Louvre tour with Emilie! I told her our daughters' ages in advance and she prepared a special tour for them, and made sure to point out things of interest for their age level. She saved us a TON of time from skipping the entry line, to being able to use the group visit rest room, to making sure we saw all the important works within our two hours there (the kids can only really muster so much time in a museum before they start losing it :)). Her knowledge of the art and the history was fantastic, and she answered all our questions patiently. She really explained the history behind each painting and made it interesting for all of us. We learned a ton and she was worth every penny. I highly recommend her!"
"I took a Paris Pastry tour with Rachelle. The tour was originally for my daughter, granddaughter and me, but a heat wave rolled into Paris and the two girls wouldn’t go. I asked Rachelle to give a shorter tour for me because of the heat, and we visited 4 lovely bakeries/patisseries and she gave me an abbreviated history behind the pastries and the Marais neighborhood. All the pastries were delicious!
Rachelle is friendly and engaging and speaks perfect English. She even let me try out my rusty French. Marais is a very charming neighborhood and I would highly recommend this tour. "
