Not a professional tour
Emily_F, Dec 2024
Fair warning - this is not a tour with a trained guide. It’s gets three stars because I’m blaming myself partially since I probably should have read the ad and reviews better. Otherwise this was a 2 star experience and 1 star for value. We basically flushed our money away. The local “guide” guiding us really didn’t know too much history - maybe a few fun facts he googled. He didn’t give us any opinions or recommendations because he said everything in Paris is beautiful and delicious. Sometimes he’d lose his way taking us around. But about an hour into the tour, we were both ready to stop it. But didn’t want to be rude and endured the next two hours. I felt the guide was boring himself as well. Surely there are better walking tours.

Great time!

Great to chat and walk around with a local to the area!
We hit the highlights of Paris from the view of a local. Heads up, there are no tickets involved. In the description it says they are, but the inclusions does not have tickets. Kinda confusing, but it was a great time!!
Walking and talking, Latin Quarter Paris

Easy to book, and meeting place was easy to find. Our guide Olivia walked up to us like a long lost friend up and a quick chat about us and what we wanted and we were off. Seeing historic places is one thing but having stories told about everything you can see and hearing the past was truly immersive. It was my first time using withlocals and I will use again. Highly recommend Olivia. So much local knowledge and I could no have asked for a better tour, or tour guide.
Wonderful morning walking tour in Paris

Loved everything about this tour. Really got to feel the essence of Paris. Louis was exceptionally knowledgeable and entertaining. It is worth having a knowledgeable tour guide. There are so many hidden stories and information which one is sure to miss without a tour guide.
Excellent local perspective on Paris!

Iza was excellent! My kids said this was their favorite tour we took in Paris, and my husband and I agreed. We really got to see a local’s view of the city, and she gave us some amazing local recommendations too, mostly things tourists wouldn’t know about. She was friendly, helpful and super knowledgeable. We loved the insight and experience just learning from her!!
