Paris Like a Local: Full-Day Custom Tour with Private Guide

We had a great day with...

We had a great day with our guide Wallid! He was very informative and provided us with a full, relaxed itenarary. He was very personable and we enjoyed getting to know him.

A very full day tour!

Our guide was Emilie and although young, she was a perfect fit for me and my niece. Emilie was able to relate to my 17 year old niece which made the tour much more personable. We covered a lot of the different areas of Paris in 7 hours with my favorite being the Luxembourg Garden and the Marias area. The restaurant choice was very charming and we had a great meal.

1 day trip in Paris with driver

Clara was awesome !! She set up a one day trip perfectly. Hit up all the most exciting monuments and photo spots. If any one wants to do a trip with a guide that actually cares about your day and explains things well and is extremely knowledgeable of Paris and its history. Look no further She also set up a trip to the palace to save time before we arrived in Paris so we didn’t have to back track !! Thank you Clara for a great and unforgettable experience!!

Stress Free

Our Tour Guide, Clara, was very sweet. She was knowledgeable and did her best to accommodate requests. She was exceptional at keeping in touch before our arrival and the day of our tour. She was also very willing to assist in helping with other aspects of our visit to Paris. She provided all of the Metro cards needed and met us right at our accommodations to start the tour which was very nice, making for a stress free day.

Shaunna's Review

The tour was amazing. Our guide showed us all the the places we requested and he was so knowlegeable about history. He was able to answer all of my questions. He was well prepared and friendly.

First Time in Paris

This was the first time in Paris for our family and we could not be happier that we chose this tour. Our guide was Vincent and he made our day perfect from start to finish. We only had one day in Paris, but he managed to show us the most beautiful places and he was so knowledgeable about all of the history, which my daughter and husband loved. I would use this company again and again and we would request Vincent every time if we could. This tour is worth every penny!!

Fun, adventurous and interesting day for the whole family teens through seniors!

Andrea was exceptional. We were a three generation family group of six ages 14 to 72. We already had plans for sites like arc de Triomphe, Louvre and Eiffel Tower on our own so we wanted an entertaining and informative day about neighborhoods like Montmatre, street art, culture, etc to round out our experience in Paris. The teenagers were totally engaged and up front listening and walking with the guide… as were we all! Of our nine days in London and Paris, this was a family favorite!

Great walking tour of influential neighbourhoods of Oaris

Interesting walking tour with relevant commentary from guide. Clara (guide) provided commentary on the history and the development of France as told by it's neighbourhoods and architecture.

Full day Paris City tour - family with children

We had a wonderful full day city tour with Walid. He met us (my wife, I and our 3 sons 11, 7, 5 yrs old) at our hotel and we completed the tour either on foot or by metro (tickets provided). Walid was so knowledgeable and personable. He put us all at ease and paced our walks with the youngest so he would be comfortable. We visited the Opera Garnier, Mont Martre with lunch at a restaurant tailored to what we wanted to eat (My son wanted to try escargots and frogs legs), followed by the Arc de Triomphe (walking up the steps to the top), Quartier latin and the exterior of the Pantheon. He threw in some interesting additional spots like the dome of valerie’s lafayette and its terrace which has lovely views and even an art deco public toilet which was very interesting. My wife had mentioned that she loved the hot chocolate at a particular patisserie which was too crowded and he took us on a small detour through a beautiful garden to get to a branch that was considerably less crowded so she could get one. We are grateful for his expertise which allowed us to see a number of our to do list places relatively efficiently for our short trip and we truly felt like we were being guided by our friend in Paris. Amazing tour and a must for families on shorter trips. Merci Beaucoup Walid!

Best Tour Guide Ever!

Walid was absolutely incredible. Mine and my husbands first trip to Paris, we booked Walid for the first full day we were there and the whole experience was incredible! He took us to so many places, places tourists don’t know about. Booked reservations for us, even when we weren’t with him and filled us with facts and history about Paris! I would rate it 10000/10.

Brilliant day in Paris with a very entertaining and knowledgeable guide.

I had an absolutely brilliant day with Walid in Paris last week. He and Clara worked out the perfect itinerary to take in all the things I wanted to see at the pace I wanted to go. Walid is incredibly knowledgeable and full of interesting and quirky facts and stories which I never would have learned on my own or through a pile of guidebooks. I also feel like I got an insight into life in the city both in the past and today. They even managed to find me a vegan lunch! I will definitely book another tour to explore more of this beautiful city when I am next there. Can't recommend them enough!

A MAGICAL DAY IN PARIS!

We only had 24 hours in Paris but it was a day we won’t soon forget! We arrived in Paris by EuroStar and Walid met us at our hotel around 8:30 the following morning. Our walking tour began at the Arc de Triomphe. From there we took the metro to the Louvre where Walid got us in at a back entrance that very few patrons know about. That turned out to be wonderful because although it was still early morning, the crowds had already begun to form and we were able to see the Mona Lisa before the long lines started! After the museum, we visited Angelina’s for the best drinkable chocolate we’ve ever had!! From there we took a quick tour of a nearby Catholic Church. After that Walid thought it would be nice to see a Parisian market, and what a treat that was to see!! From there we had a beautiful lunch and tried several French wines at a neighborhood restaurant. From there it was time to see Notre Dame Cathedral. ( We were only able to see it from the outside due to the fire last year) Afterwards we walked to a boat dock where we were able to take a Siene River boat cruise but not until after seeing the Eiffel Tower. What we enjoyed most about the day was how Walid was able to keep to our itinerary while still hitting a few surprises that we asked about earlier in the day. We were able to purchase delicious macaroons & as I said above, even visit Angelina’s for the drinkable hot chocolate. Both of these stops were not on our original itinerary but Walid was able to make it happen. Walid was warm, engaging and had a lot of knowledge to share about the sites we visited. His English is very good and that made us very comfortable. He was hospitable and very kind. When we asked about a few extra stops as I mentioned, he never said no. He was very willing to be flexible and absolutely gave us an outstanding Parisian experience. We can not say enough our MAGICAL day in Paris with Walid! If you are considering taking this tour we highly recommend Walid and his tour company. They care about their clients and are committed to giving the best experience possible. A GEM! THANK YOU WALID! WE WONT SOON FORGET OUR TIME WITH YOU!

Museum and walk around Paris

I was really happy with this tour. We discussed what we wanted to do ahead of our trip and ended up visiting a museum and walking around Paris. We discovered parts of Paris I had never been before! We'll definitely book again!

A great day and chat with the guide

That was a woooonderful experience! I knew Paris was beautiful, but this time it went beyond all expectations. Thanks to Walid, our tour guide, who showed us places besides conventional touristic attractions, places which are popular among locals for different reasons, but maybe those you wouldn’t find in a regular tourist guide. And the way he tells a story is very captivating, we learnt so many little cool details, funny facts and just had a great chat! Hope to have another tour with Walid and his team next time :)

Authentic experience of Paris!

We had such a lovely day with Walid! We started off the day by walking around Montmartre, then headed for Le Marais where we had an amazing lunch. Afterwards, he took us to the Latin Quarter, showing us all the secrets of this student area, and we ended the tour near the Luxembourg garden. We wouldn’t have been able to see so much on our own!

Must-do tour in Paris

We had very little time in Paris, and I managed to see a lot thanks to Walid. He's been very helpful and informative. I can only recommend!

Hassle-free experience!

I liked how DayIn made my trip hassle-free and convenient. They planned everything for me and met all of my expectations. I would definitely book again!

Unique and memorable experience

It was my first time in Paris and the team managed to make it unforgettable. They picked me up at my hotel and made everything smooth, fun and informative. We got to see Montmartre, le Marais and live the full Paris experience. Thank you Clara and Walid for such a great work.

Incredible

Thank you Walid for this perfect day !! discovering Paris by your side was a great experience, which I recommend to everyone. Walid is a nice, relevant and funny guide!

Paris through your eyes

Spending 3 days with Walid, was a memorable experience, we wanted to see Paris through his eyes, not just the usual attractions, but Paris that most people do not get to see. It was even more special that we could have imagined. Walid is very knowledgeable about the Paris most people do not get to see, even wine and cheese in a park, what a wonderful way to spend my Birthday.

Paris, je t'aime big time!!

Absolutely wonderful. Paris is such a beautiful and complex city. Visiting without a good tour is such a shame. Walid was an exceptional guide who took us to lots of hidden spots we could never have seen alone. We had a great laugh too. Highly recommend. Thanks Walid!

Amazing experience !

I spent an exceptional day, and I couldn't have asked for a better way to discover Paris. Walid, our guide, was patient enough to answer all our questions, and even took the time to show us some extras. His love of Paris is transmitted during the visit. I recommend this experience to everyone! I will gladly return 😁❤️🔥

The best way to explore Paris

My experience of Paris wouldn’t have been the same without this tour. Our guide Walid was very dedicated and resourceful, full of anecdotes and stories. He obviously loves his job and Paris, and we inevitably love Paris in return once explored through his eyes. I will definitely recommend the tour or any other tailored tours that you have in mind during your stay, I am sure he will be of great help.

Best Tour in Paris

I visited Paris for the first time and decided to book a full-day tour with Walid. It was honestly one of the best experiences I had on my trip! He customized my tour to fit what I wanted to see in Paris. As a solo traveler, Walid made the tour feel like I was exploring the city with a friend. He showed me the landmarks I wanted to see, such as the Louvre and Notre Dame, while also showing me hidden gems throughout the city. I tried the best croissants, raclette, and macarons I've ever tasted while on this tour. I learned the history of the places I visited and got suggestions of where I should go for the remainder of my trip. Another important thing I would like to mention is that the tour helped me with safety in Paris. I learned of common scams and how to keep my belongings safe while out in public. Overall, the tour was amazing and allowed me to make some beautiful memories. I would highly recommend anyone looking to book a private tour do so with DayIn! They will make sure you get the most out of your stay in Paris.

Unique experience you must try in Paris !

We spent the morning with Walid and the afternoon with Clara. They are both kind and very professional. Their sense of humor and enthusiasm were infectious. Thanks a lot for your good vibes and this lovely day. We wish you the best!

Estupendo

Súper simpáticos y profesionales. No nos tuvimos que preocupar de nada. Hicieron posible lo imposible. Hablamos con muchas compañías y todos nos pusieron pegas, con ellos todo facilidades. Nos recogieron en el hotel, nos hicieron un tour personalizado y después nos acercaron al aeropuerto. Fue una suerte encontrarles. Walid adopto las explicaciones y el tour para que fuese ameno para las niñas. Y las acabo de conquistar llevándonos a probar los dulces típicos de Francia con su chocolat. Gracias por todo chicos.!!!
