Paris in a Day!
B7374ADmarias, Dec 2024
Our guide was amazing. She was knowledgeable and took pictures at different locations of the Eiffel tower, The Louvre, Notre Dame, and Arc de Triomphe! She took us to four famous monuments in one day! She was so informative, took us to a cafe for lunch. She knew where to take us shopping for souvenirs. I will return to spend more time and see more sites on my next trip.

If you find yourself with a short layover in Paris and want to make every moment count, I highly recommend Allison's layover tour. She'll not only help you see the highlights but also leave you with a genuine appreciation for the beauty and culture of this incredible city. Thanks, Allison, for turning our quick layover into a Parisian highlight reel!

Allison is without a doubt the best tour guide ever. That's not hyperbole. She just is. Paris can be overwhelming for anyone, even for the French, but Allison felt like the cool cousin who knows all the best of the best places to eat, visit and shop. My girlfriend and I are the kind of people that like to keep it moving and Allison with her knowledge and ability to navigate the city effortlessly is essential if you want to experience Paris without feeling you're missing anything. Allison was fully engaged with us, and told the best stories about the city and its history. Not just things you can Google. She spoke to my gf and I as a couple and told us things individually that would be cool to us specifically. I remember we stopped by the Shakespeare & Co. book store. I didn't give it two thoughts but my gf lost her mind because it's in one of her favorite movies. Seeing my gf happy and excited made it awesome to me. If you want to visit Paris without feeling overwhelmed, or constantly wondering what to do next, get Allison. You'll be happier with your trip.

Wow, thanks so much for the kind words! I really enjoyed our time together and am so happy to see it was as much fun for you as it was for me. I hope it was the kind of day that makes you want to come back and visit again. Until then, I'll always be your cousin in Paris;)
We had an awesome time!

We loved this tour and Allison was the best tour guide! She was very knowledgeable, has an enjoyable personality and made the most of our time. We were able to see all the sites we wanted and Allison gave us history/info. She was also very considerate of when we needed breaks. She took a lot of pictures for us as well! We had a great time! Highly recommend.

Paris in A Day with Wonderful Allison
HMDaffodilMBahani, Dec 2024
We love Allison! She was very very accommodating from organizing to communicating every detail, to going beyond by getting us lunch to making sure that everyone was in our own walking pace to making sure no one was left behind during the tour... It was fast but wonderful tour around Paris with the beautiful, knowledgeable and wonderful Allison.
