Day trip to Paris from London
Viva_B, Dec 2024
Our time with Walid was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our day in Paris however fast it was! Walid did a fantastic job guiding us through the museum given such a short time. Lovely to see artwork in person. He was very knowledgeable, personable and kept us on pace. We were saddened to not see the Eiffel Tower up any closer or the Seine, however with the Olympic restrictions it was understandable.
We enjoyed the chocolate mousse and boulangerie. We would've been lost and stressed to figure anything out to see in such a short time. We will have to come back someday to enjoy a longer visit.
A whirlwind visit we will never forget. Merci
Great guide

Great guided tour. took us where we wanted to go and gave us a ton of information about what we were seeing.
Wonderful half day Paris tour by Clara from Dayin!

My husband and I were only going to be in Paris for 3 and 1/2 hours, as we took the bus in from the cruise ship. We hired Clara from Dayin to be our guide for this short time, and we were so glad we did! Clara met us at the bus and we spent the next 3 and 1/2 hours moving quickly on foot and by metro. We saw the Arc de Triomphe, walked along the Champs Elysees, took pictures by the Eiffel Tower, crossed the Pont Neuf to see Notre Dame up close, stopped at the Louvre, etc, etc. All the while, Clara explained much of the architecture, as well as the history of these wonderful monuments and places. We even had a few minutes to shop for souveniers, eat a chocolate croissant from a local patisserie, and have a glass of wine at a brasserie! Clara and I had emailed beforehand, so she knew exactly what we wanted from our private custom tour, and wow, did she deliver! When we got back to the bus, other passengers could not believe how much we had seen. We have Clara and Dayin to thank for our unforgetable 3 1/2 hour Paris tour! Thanks, Clara! I highly recommend Clara and Dayin!
Convenient and Customized tour

Great tour, customized to our desires within the time constraints. We saw Montmarte, the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, walked Champs Elysee’s and much more. He gave us recommendations for restaurants and places, great personalized service.
Highly recommend this tour!

My husband and I really enjoyed our tour with Clara. We went to see all of the tour sites we wanted to see and Clara was very knowledgeable about each of them. We were able to go at our own speed and get lots of great pictures. It was a great day and I definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking for a private guided tour around Paris’s major tour sites.
