Pickup details

There are a few logistics we need to get out of the way to ensure the best experience for you. First off we need to determine your timetable. Also, we need to know if you have luggage or if we need to check it into a locker at the airport. ... Please be advised that the airport is approximately 1 hour from the city. You will be required to purchase the RER tickets round trip for the airport, I will assist you when you arrive. We utilize public transport (RER & METRO) But if you have 4 people in your party the Taxi is the same cost as public transit and more comfortable. A private car is available as an upgrade. We will determine how much time ahead of the flight do you wish to be back before confirming the schedule. Please provide pick-up times and details such as airlines and flight numbers, this enables tracking for flight delays. Do you have anything that you must see? Other than the Eiffel Tower of course! Generally, we purchase some famous french baguette sandwiches to take back to the airport for maximizing your sightseeing time. If time isn't a concern, we can certainly stop at a cafe en route or at the end of the tour. We will end at the Fountaine du Saint Michel which is where the RER (train) will take you directly back to the airport. Your Uber app works as well. We will make sure you have tickets and board the correct train, you will travel to CDG on your own. The RER ends at the airport, so you can't get lost. Yes, it is a lot of information, but this will ensure the best tour possible for you. Looking forward to hearing back from you! A bientĂ´t! Read more â–Ľ

Paris in a Day!

Published on Apr, 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.

Simply the best

Published on Nov, 2023

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.
