April in Paris made my May visit fantastique!
scottyd724, Dec 2024
This was my first legitimate stay in Paris. I wanted to see it all! I reached out to April in Paris for a trip to the Louvre, a tour of Paris and its wonderful history and architecture and the piece de resistance - a trip to Versailles. All three tours were amazing and I was delighted with the experiences and the memories that were made. I can't recommend her more. She is personable and made every attempt to make my experiences the best they could be. Thanks April!

My husband and I were in Paris for a quick trip and a friend highly recommended that I use April in Paris for a tour. I am so glad that I did! April was veey knowledgeable about both current and historic Paris - we learned so much in a single morning with her! April met us at our hotel for the historic walking tour. She was an excellent communicator leading up to our trip and incredibly accommodating on our tour. She led the way, but allowed us to take detours and make pit stops. April has a fun, glowing personality and she really brought the history of Paris to life. In addition, April made invaluable suggestions for the remainder of our time in Paris and helped us make dinner plans for our last night there. We were grateful to have her help and spend the morning with her… we highly recommend her tours!

Best private tour at Vaux le Vicomte Castle
RomainJouvence, Dec 2024
My parents and I booked for the second time a Tour with April and we are still in love with her tours.
This time we wanted to give a special gift to my mum. April worked on a special private tour for us somewhere my mum didn't know at all: at the fabulous Castle of Vaux-le-Vicomte.
April organized everything very quickly and with such professional behaviors.
A private car took us to the Castle (45 min away from Paris) and there the magic worked.
April knew all the fun fact about the castle and the history of its owner. She even found a way to take us up all the way up on top of the roof of the castle.
We had a marvelous time. April knows how to make a family laugh even during historical tours !
We totally recommend April in Paris Tour !
Best regards
JR

April was terrific! She made the tour so fun and engaging. I would definitely recommend hiring her as your tour guide if you are interested in walking around/tubing around Paris wanting to learn more (in the most fun way possible)!

April inspires you to embrace the city of lights in new ways
barbarapI1639JF, Dec 2024
We only had 3.5 days in Paris and limited knowledge of what we wanted to do or where to go. April and our Travel Planner, Rachael w/For The Story Vacations, worked together to build an amazing few days during which time we were able to see just about every popular site. Along with the beautiful sights of Paris, April imparted amazing facts and wild history that really brought it to life.
She made us so comfortable even getting us to try Escargot 😊 We covered a ton of ground, made beautiful memories and a new fascinating friend. April gets you to really embrace the City of Lights and live in the moment. Not to mention, she humored me with stops along the way at which scenes of Emily in Paris were filmed 🥐 ❤️

Oh, WOW, Barbara! Merci beaucoup for the raving review! You sure know how to make a gal smile! I am so glad to hear that you and Tres had such a wonderful few days with me! It had such a great time being your guide and parisienne friend too! I hope you have taken your new escargot eating skills back home to practice in front of an Emily in Paris-athon one night ;) Thank again and come back soon!
