Paris Private Custom Tour: Half-Day Experience with a Local Guide

Great guide

Great guided tour. took us where we wanted to go and gave us a ton of information about what we were seeing.

Wonderful half day Paris tour by Clara from Dayin!

My husband and I were only going to be in Paris for 3 and 1/2 hours, as we took the bus in from the cruise ship. We hired Clara from Dayin to be our guide for this short time, and we were so glad we did! Clara met us at the bus and we spent the next 3 and 1/2 hours moving quickly on foot and by metro. We saw the Arc de Triomphe, walked along the Champs Elysees, took pictures by the Eiffel Tower, crossed the Pont Neuf to see Notre Dame up close, stopped at the Louvre, etc, etc. All the while, Clara explained much of the architecture, as well as the history of these wonderful monuments and places. We even had a few minutes to shop for souveniers, eat a chocolate croissant from a local patisserie, and have a glass of wine at a brasserie! Clara and I had emailed beforehand, so she knew exactly what we wanted from our private custom tour, and wow, did she deliver! When we got back to the bus, other passengers could not believe how much we had seen. We have Clara and Dayin to thank for our unforgetable 3 1/2 hour Paris tour! Thanks, Clara! I highly recommend Clara and Dayin!

Convenient and Customized tour

Great tour, customized to our desires within the time constraints. We saw Montmarte, the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, walked Champs Elysee’s and much more. He gave us recommendations for restaurants and places, great personalized service.

Highly recommend this tour!

My husband and I really enjoyed our tour with Clara. We went to see all of the tour sites we wanted to see and Clara was very knowledgeable about each of them. We were able to go at our own speed and get lots of great pictures. It was a great day and I definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking for a private guided tour around Paris’s major tour sites.

Start off Paris the right way!

Being first timers in Paris, we took this private four hour tour the day after we arrived in Paris. Before our arrival, Clara was quick to communicate via WhatsApp inquiring our interests on what we would like to see. We decided to skip on the touristy museum stuff and picked Montmarte area to explore. She took us to some main spots and gave us interesting history on the area. Clara is very personable and we HIGHLY recommend choosing this tour! It was a great kickstart to our stay in Paris!

Charming Paris tour

We enjoyed a wonderful tour of historic sites in Paris. Our guide Clara was charming and very knowledgeable. She took time to tell us the history behind every site we visited. I would definitely recommend this tour and Clara.

Great Guide

Justine was extremely knowledgeable about our itinerary and was also very accommodating to our needs. We appreciated her thoughtfulness.

The Real Feel of Paris

Justine was so well versed in the history and relayed the sites so well. She was very friendly and responsive to requests.

Great half day!

We (3 of us) requested a guide to the Louve and Orsay for half a day. Walid was our guy and provided the prefect service for our needs. We wanted a big brush overview of all the artifacts-art and statues which he provided. Would certainly use him again!

Fun, personable, and customizable

I had a fantastic time! Wallid is super knowledgeable and considerate and makes the experience so customizable. We had a phone call about a month before the trip planning everything I wanted to see. This tour was during a layover between flights, so I was a little nervous about the timing, but Wallid was super efficient and effective, and I saw so much without feeling rushed. And as a female solo traveler, I felt very safe with this tour; he even gave great advice on helping me get out of the airport and to our meeting point and ensured I got something to eat before and after the tour. Wallid is super personable. During the tour, I felt like I was walking around the city with a friend. He makes a lot of the history a conversation and leans into your interests instead of a straight info dump. I went on this tour solo in November 2022, but it was so much fun I'm booking another with my husband for this summer.

I highly recommend Wallid

We had a fantastic tour experience of Paris . My tour guide Wallid was amazing, reliable, friendly and super knowledgeable.

The perfect day !

We spend a fantastic day with Walid. He is a great storyteller and has many funny anecdotes to say! I recommend it absolutely if you want to visit and understand the city!

Half a day in Paris!

Walid and Clara were very nice, hospitable, engaging, and committed to providing the best tour experience. I would happily join their city tour again.

Fabulous historical tour

We had a fantastic half day personal guided tour with Walid. He took us around several different districts, allowing us to sample the different vibes in each. We enjoyed listening to his stories about the historical significance of certain areas, buildings or even small decorative architectural features. Walid was very knowledgeable & extremely personable. As this was our first time in Paris, we didn’t really have a plan and simply asked him to take us on a history tour, but that we could go the most obvious places (the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, etc.) ourselves. Walid created and adjusted the itinerary as he guided us, picking up on the things that interested us as we went along. His service was excellent & I would highly recommend to anyone to have a personal guided tour of the city by a real Parisien, in order to get the authentic experience of this wonderful city. Thank you very much, Walid!

Great Day in Paris!!

This was the best walking tour we have ever had! Wallid was a gracious, informative host for his city. We learned big and little things along our walk. Wallid tailored the tour to our interests. We highly recommend!!

Amazing Walking Tour in Paris

My wife, 3 teenagers and I had a wonderful experience with Walid in Paris. He took us to a great mix of traditional tourist sites (Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, etc) but also many, many hidden gems that would have been unknown to us. We spent most of our day on the left bank and would have been lost without his guidance. We saw so much more of the city than we would have otherwise - it is a really efficient and informative way to spend a day. We highly recommend doing a tour with DayIn.

Best experience of Paris with Walid

Loved the experience! It was the best experience ever. Thank you Walid for making our Paris 1day trip so good and totally worth it. Couldn’t have imagined a better way to tour Paris than this. Definitely coming back and definitely referring Walid to anyone traveling to Paris. :) Thank you!

Discover Paris with sweet people 😊

Such a lovely day ! We booked a tour with Clara and Walid to discover the latin center, it was sooo interesting ! They showed us Notre Dame, the Panthéon and many other good points of view with a specific historical background. Both of them really know their city, we can feel how much they love Paris. They also gave us a couple of good recommandations of places to visit during our trip (higly recommand the Carnavalet museum). You can book a tour with Clara and Walid with your eyes closed ! I'll book again with them the next time I come to Paris.

Wonderful tour

I had a wonderful visit! Highly recommend. Walid was super friendly and knowledgeable and customized my visit based on what I wanted to see.

Immersive experience in Paris with Walid!

Wonderful experience touring the streets of Paris with stops at memorable and iconic monuments/buildings. Our guide Walid was very charming and knowledgable on all things Paris including restaurant recommendations !! We visited the Place de la Concorde, the Hotel des Invalides, and the Louvre Museum (inside and out!). All in all a very pleasurable experience that we will definitely recommend to friends and family.

Amazing!

I learned a lot and had a wonderful time with the guide Walid and the people I met on the tour. Very well organized we had the opportunity of seeing a lot in a short time but never be in a rush. I loved the fact that the guide took our demands into account and organized the tour based on our preferences. So if you come to Paris, I highly recommend you to chose DayIn!

Hâte de revenir à Paris pour faire un nouveau tour avec DayIn !

I saw Paris in a new light, and I'm pleased I booked this tour with Lou. She's a passionate guide and makes everything look and sound interesting. Her tips and stories will stay with us for long. We booked a half-day with her, which was awesome from start to finish.

Paris was amazing with Walid

Very kind person, good communication skills. We were in Montmartre, very romantic area in Paris. Walid took time to explain us all details on street, monuments.

Best food tour ever !

This food tour around french specialties was just so good! Walid told us everything we needed to know about how the food is cooked and produced around Paris. We can't wait to come back and do another tour with him.

The best way to discover Paris

I went on half-day tour of Paris with Walid from the DayIn team and loved every minute of it. He took care of everything for us and made it easy to navigate from one place to another. Walid is passionate about his city and he clearly enjoys sharing it with others. I especially enjoyed his interesting anecdotes about the art pieces we saw at the Louvre. We even got to try some of the best coffee and pastries I've ever had in a quaint area. Would definitely do another tour with DayIn when I'm back.

Must do tour in Paris

We had a great tour with Clara! We couldn’t have wished for more, from planning the tour together, to showing us the best parts of the city, it was an amazing tour!

Amazing Paris Tour

Fantastic tour in Paris

Fantastic experience with Clara, super helpful and knowledgeable, they will guide you all over Paris with a lot of anecdotes. They are super accommodating and friendly. I couldn’t recommend more!

Great custom tour!

We had a fabulous tour with Walid. He is very knowledgeable and we were able to see so much of the city. I was able to enjoy myself without having to figure out all the details and my 3 daughters loved it. The Louvre with a guide is the way to go!

Perfect customised experience with a local Parisian!

I booked a custom cocktail tour with friends and it was honestly the best! The DayIn team really went above and beyond to prepare us this tour. We visited 4 different bars around Paris, and finished on a beautiful rooftop, just wow. The guide was awesome, funny and knowledgable. We got to talk culture and history with him and it was just a great evening overall. I really recommend booking with DayIn, they will make your stay in Paris a memorable experience.

You Must book a visit with this tour guide!

I recently went on a visit around the neighbourhood of the Louvre and the Tuileries and I just have to say, it was the best 2h spent! I've lived in this area for 2 years and yet I learned so much about the place, how it used to be and how much it actually changed over the years. The guide was really fun and knowledgable, he made us feel like we were visiting with a friend. Whether your a tourist or a local you'll enjoy this tour, highly recommended!

A wonderful expérience

It was amazing, the tour was customized and this make the difference! I had a really good experience and learn a lot about the local culture. Highly recommend☺️

Best custom tour in Paris, highly recommend!

I tried the custom tour with DayIn and I'm glad I did. They were very reactive and contacted me right after my booking to help me plan my trip. They had really good tips and recommendations. They made sure that I had the most out of my trip in Paris! As for the tour, the guide was very knowledgeable and fun ! He showed me some of his favorite places in Paris and areas I would have never found on my own. Highly recommend! Best wishes, William
