Our tour guide, Mehrdad, was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, helpful, considerate, and most of all, fun! He took us to the best places in Paris, and stayed flexible for our shopping stops!! he was absolutely the nicest person ever! He made our stay in Paris fantastic. We would recommend him and give Mehrdad 5 stars!!
An Enjoyable Tour of Paris with Mehrdad.

I had a 23-hour layover at the CDG airport and thought the Paris city tour would be ideal. As it turned out, my flight to Paris was 4 hours late and I thought I must cancel my tour immediately, now hours behind. I am so delighted I did not cancel! My guide, Mehrdad convinced me to take the tour although, it would be later than planned. He adjusted his time and schedule giving me precise directions on how to get to the city for the tour.
Mehrdad is a very knowledgeable, kind, and respectful young man. I had a wonderful time with him, seeing most of the 12 sites originally planned. He made me feel safe and comfortable hopping on and off the trains and visiting various locales.
Despite the delay in my flight the tour of Paris led by Mehrdad made it a most memorable and fun time in Paris!
Thank you, Mehrdad! Excellent job!

I contacted a Viator agent requesting the services of a private driver. The agent said yes this tour is a driver but she is also going to be your guide. Fine enough. I book it using the link the agent sent me and the next day a nice woman shows up with no vehicle, expecting me to take five children on a five hour walk in 32° temperature. Almost $700 and they would not refund me my money. I would not use this company.

Dear Arien,
We're sorry you were upset with the tour. It's a walking tour with the use of metro, and it's clearly stated in the tour description that it's a walking tour.
Please let us know if there's anything we can do for you
Disappointed with Guide
Kim_L, Dec 2024
Sorry, but have to say that I was disappointed with our guide. Compared to other tours we did, she was just not up to the standard we had did with the other guides. Felt like we had to pull information out of her. Disappointed we paid so much for this tour.
Responses from FriendlyLocalGuides
Dear Kim,
We are sorry you didn't quite enjoy the tour. We are a bit confused too, because on tour you told the guide you liked it and send her the message after the tour thanking for the tour.
The guide did her best, covered all program of the tour and shared all kinds of facts and stories with you.
Please let us know if there's anything we can do for you, we will be happy to
The perfect Paris Tour!
Arik_R, Dec 2024
Jean provided us with the perfect walking tour of Paris! We got to take amazing photos with most of the City's major landmarks, walked some of it's trendy/unique neighborhoods, and even had time to stop and enjoy some amazing wine, beer, and other local delicacies at an "annual harvest fair" we randomly visited along the route! An absolute must!
