We loved that he listened to our interests so tailored his talks and tour for our pleasure. James also engaged us during the tour so we felt as if we were conversing with a trusted friend while gaining our insight into the incredible city of Paris. A+ tour and guide.

5.00Starting our trip off in Paris with a tour by James was the best thing we could have done. He helped us get our bearings around the city and taught us fun things about the city we wouldn't have found out on our own. Aside from being a good tour guide, James is also fun to spend time with and was very eager to help us maximize our trip. We would enjoy our time with James anywhere in the world. Our trip to Paris was better because of him. Thank you!
Great way to learn about the city and its secrets!

5.00James was an excellent tour guide and shared constant communication with us from booking all the way until our time in Paris was complete. We were so fortunate for James sharing his knowledge of Paris with us on our first day in Paris. If you are debating doing this tour, select yes, because it was truly a great opportunity to learn, see, walk, and do. This is an active tour so please lace up your tennis shoes. 😊
