Paris Private Tour

Auto tour of Paris

Helena was wonderfully attentive and supportive of our group. She was very kind, knowledgeable and flexible!

Four hour tour of Paris Highlights

Helena gave us a very complete tour of Paris. We were able to see the sites in Paris in our four tour that we wanted to see and it helped us determine what sites we wanted to explore further. She showed us sites that I would not have thought to visit. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Walking tour

Helena was wonderful and knowledgeable We saw so many sites that we may never have seen We walked a lot but at 73 and 72 year old we did just fine We stopped for a delicious French coffee in a beautiful cafe Helena also gave us advice on other things including a reservation at her favorite restaurant We were thoroughly pleased with this tour

WONDERFUL HELENA - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I wanted to appreciate a wonderful guide the time we were at paris, Helena take good care of us, and shes a Good Friend too, we have learned a lot of things from her and our paris tour became more knowledgable w our guide helena, Thank you so much helena - Rheinz

Guide NOT fluent in English, frustrating to understand

The route was good but the guide was NOT a proficient English speaker (and also not a native of France) so we were only able to understand about 40% of the tour. Just to be as clear as possible, both my husband and I are fluent in other languages and able to understand most of the French people we encountered with little difficulty. This tour advertised an English speaking guide; I expected an accent, not someone for whom we needed to guess what she meant by the words "stained" and "human" among other words. Also, and most unsettling, she wanted to connect with us via WhatsApp instead of messaging through Viator, very unprofessional. To her credit, Helena tried her best but this was not the caliber of tour for which I paid. Very disappointing, wish I had used GetYourGuide instead... Lesson learned.

Wonderful tour in Paris!

Helena was absolutely lovely! I was on my first international solo trip and only had one day to explore Paris! She made my visit better than I could have hoped for - we visited all the iconic landmarks and she provided so much history/context. She also introduced me to some local French markets where we treated ourselves to coffee, macaroons, and eclairs! It was perfect. She provided so many recommendations for my next trip to Paris and helped me find my way back to the Gare Du Nord as well. Thank you Helena for everything! If you are looking for a tour guide with warm hospitality and a wonderful day altogether, please book her - you won't regret it!

Best private tour!

I recently took a tour with Helena. If you are looking for a fully customized tour, look no further. She will take you to places which big tours will not. She was very patient and knowledgable. It was a great experience and will definitely take her tour again next time when I am in Paris.

My guide Helèna is a very...

My guide Helèna is a very experienced professional guide. She is a native parisienne having a lot of knowledge about architectures, historical events, cultural details about all of the historical/cultural places we visited. I would recommend her as the guide to learn the city of Paris for everyone, even for the persons who have visited this city multiple times in the past.

Family tour

Our guide and driver made our world win tour through Paris fantastic. Helena was knowledgeable and patient. We were a group of 6 and she managed to answer all of our questions, wait for our stragglers and keep everyone entertained.

Helena's tour is a must

Helena is amazing and I could not recommend her more. She greeted us so warmly, spending time to learn about us and share some of her background. She guided us through the Paris, not only showing us sights but also providing some much history and color along the way. If we could have kept going after 4 hours we would never have stopped! A must for those who have never been to Paris or want to see it through the eyes of a local with rich background in history.

Worth every Euro!

Helena was an incredible your guide with endless knowledge. She was patient and attended to every need we had. The sights were breathe taking and her explanation of every detail was second to none.

Walking Paris Tour

Helena met us as planned and we toured the city by foot. We went to a museum and saw great art. Got a good layout of Paris. Bring good walking shoes! 👍

Recommend this tour

Helena is very patient and informative… We walked around Paris and saw most important attractions with her and we were so satisfied Totally recommend her if you have a short time in Paris

Great walking city tour!

Helena was a beautiful person, very knowledgeable about the city ant the monuments we visited. Was A+

A wonderful Paris experience

We had a Paris Private Tour with Helena. She was wonderful, warm, very knowledgeable and informative, and accommodating. She took us around Paris on a walking tour. It was perfect as we got to see the sights and monuments on our own time without being rushed. Helena gave us the history of every monument and building that time flew by without us noticing that she gave us more than we expected. She took us to a French restaurant as well to experience the real French cuisine. Nothing too fancy but the ambience was there. She made sure that we got safely back to our hotel. In the end we felt like we were saying good bye to an old dear friend. Thank you Helena!

Best half day tour

It is with a great pleasure to write this review for Helena. She is passionate about her work and wants her clients to enjoy what the beautiful Paris has to offer. From the moment we started our tour to the end, Helena made sure we were comfortable. It just happened to be that my family was unable to walk far distances, she arranged taxi just so we could explore and experience as much as possible on the tour. I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude for her great kindness. She went above and beyond in the level of service she had provided to us. We all had great time on this tour as it was completely different and customizable to our needs and time. Highly recommending Helena to everyone who is interested in exploring Paris. Thank you again for your time Helena.

Great

Had great time very helpful and learnt alot about all the city. I would recommend for everybody going to Paris

More Than I Asked For!

When I signed up for a tour of the city, I was nervous, because my French was not very good, and I only had one day to see everything. Helena was the perfect person for me to tour with. Not only is she able to speak both French and English, but she knows the bus routes to avoid traffic and crowds so that I was able to see every monument in such a short span of time. We saw every monument listed on her page and some sites that only a true local would know about. We saw a seasonal band playing on the river, stopped at an art school (something I told her I was interested in), went through a carnival where I got my first crêpe, saw one of the oldest restaurants in the region, and even got drinks in a bar where the locals were outgoingly friendly. I took eight years of French courses, and felt I knew a lot about the history of Paris, and I was still able to learn so much during the tour. Helana is one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever met about Parisian history. She has a connection to the location that is evident in her attention to detail and passion for sharing. Another part of my goal for the tour was to take photos for my social media pages. Helena was so gracious and helping me take both photos and videos. Everywhere we went. She even took reshoots to make sure I had exactly what I needed. Now I have more than enough contact for my social media posts! The photos she took of me were wonderful! It was easy to give her direction and to receive advice on great poses. I already showed them to my family, and they are thrilled at how beautiful they came out. I already know which images I want to eventually have framed. The tour also came with a meal. I was expecting to stop by a restaurant on the way, and quickly eat something that was considered French. Instead, I was greeted by a large, homemade feast of a variety of traditional French fruits. They were prepared and displayed better than, any restaurant I could have visited. I feel like I got to taste everything a native French person would consume. Conversation during dinner was one of my favorite parts. Helana is very personable, and it was easy to feel like I was not on a tour, but connecting with an old friend. She shared so much of her life, and gave recommendations on how I can continue to enjoy the area before I had to leave. During the tour, she also let me know what was considered reasonably priced, and what engagements I should look out for. Now I’m reflecting as I write this review. I already miss the sights, smells, and sounds I experienced from the tour, and all the laughter along the way. I am a digital nomad, and have been on several tours in the years that I have been traveling. I can confidently say that Helena is the best. If anyone has an opportunity to take a tour with her, take it! You’ll have a time that you won’t soon forget.

Our First Trip to Paris!!!

This was the first time my family and I decided to travel to Paris. We found Lena here at TripAdvisor and decided to book. We had so much fun. Helena is such a kind and fun person. She took care of us, took us to the most beautiful places in Paris. We had such a great time! Thank you Helena so much! Next time we’ll definitely book with you again!
