Trocadero
We’ll begin our tour at Trocadéro, the perfect first stop to set the tone for your Paris experience. With its grand terrace and sweeping, unobstructed views of the Eiffel Tower, it’s one of the most iconic photo spots in the city. Arriving early means fewer crowds and soft morning light—ideal for capturing that unforgettable first impression of Paris. As we take in the view, I’ll share the fascinating history of the tower and the role Trocadéro played in shaping the modern Paris skyline. From here, we’ll set off into the heart of the city, already inspired.
Arc de Triomphe
Just a quick ride to our next stop: the majestic Arc de Triomphe. Standing proudly at the top of the Champs-Élysées, this monumental arch was commissioned by Napoleon to honor his army’s victories and remains one of the most powerful symbols of French pride and resilience. I’ll share the story behind its construction, the unknown soldier buried beneath it, and the ceremonial flame that burns in his honor every night. Whether we admire it from below or climb to the top for panoramic views, the Arc offers a striking glimpse into France’s storied past and Paris’s grandeur.

My boyfriend and I had an amazing experience with Tours Truly during our trip to Paris! We took a private tour with Andrew, who was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and adaptable to our interests. He shared great insights into the city’s history and culture, took beautiful photos of us, and even taught us how to use the metro—making sure we felt confident before we parted ways. We also received fantastic recommendations from Allison, who went above and beyond by helping us with reservations and personalized tips that truly enhanced our time in Paris. Highly recommend Tours Truly—especially a tour with Andrew and guidance from Allison. As my boyfriend said, “Allison’s recs don’t miss.” Thanks for making our trip unforgettable!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Allison is a fantastic guide. She gets to know you so that she can understand what you're looking for whether you're a total Napoleon geek or if you prefer the scandalous stories of history. She ensures that she knows her stuff and can tailor to you. You'll also have fun and enjoy the journey along with thoughtful stops to make sure you get a bit of rest and/or coffee so that you can bear your jet lag. I highly recommend Allison, and indeed I've recommended her to many of my friends visiting Paris. Great knowledge, customises her offering, and is extra thoughtful along the way. Huge thank you Allison.

Meeting Allison for our ’tour was a breeze from start to finish. She is very knowledgeable about Paris. Both the old and the new. Our tour was extensive and enjoyable. We are so happy we booked our tour with Allison. We feel that we probably saw much more than we would have on our own. We almost ran out of ‘wow’! Well worth every penny.

Allison was the perfect tour guide for my sister and I. What are the odds of finder her who happens to be a native OC! She made us experience the metro, train rides with lots of walking and blend in with the locals. She knows her stuff and a people person. If you are looking to do something for a day, please book it with Allison, no dull moments. She even made sure we took the right RER train to the airport! Thank you so much, my sister and I had a wonderful time! Take care!
