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!

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.

sallypadilla

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.

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!

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.

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

Susan_M

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

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!

Kristen_R

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.

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