Three generations of my family enjoyed a wonderful trip from Paris to Versailles under the guidance of Yaëlle from Meet the Locals for Families. Her knowledge of local history, combined with her love of sharing that history, made for a wonderful afternoon. She did not rush her tour, and customized the timeline to accommodate feedings, breaks for the kids, and coffee for Grampa. The tour started on the train, utilizing the time to educate the adults on the timelines for Versailles and to entertain the children with activity books. We are still talking about it 3 weeks later. I would highly recommend Yaëlle as she did a wonderful job.

Our guide, Sebastian, was wonderful. He made it very fun for everyone and very informative! We’d highly recommend this tour!

We have used Meet the locals several times over the last few years, including the Versailles Tour, the Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, and the Tower of London. This latest trip, we did the Tour of London with Manuella, and Versailles with Laurine. Both tours (And our guides) were amazing. Manuella and Laurine made the entire experience fun and educational for our girls (Who are 8 and 10) (And the parents!) - they were just incredible. Every single experience we have had with Tour by Locals has been phenomenal. They are absolutely the best! If you are traveling to London or Paris you absolutely need to book a tour with Meet the Locals!

Prior to our arrival, our communication from Thomas was so friendly, organised and prompt. Can highly recommend Laurine who took us on all our multiple tours. She was always prompt, engaging, helpful and really put us all at ease. The kids listened attentively to everything she had to share with them versus being completely deaf when I told them anything of interest! Each tour had a little booklet with activities they had to complete to reinforce their learning. Despite learning so much, they were having fun the entire time. Can highly recommend the trip out to Giverny and Monet’s Garden. This was a highlight of our trip. Visited this in the morning and Versailles in the afternoon. Laurine would accompany us for everything, but left us for lunch after walking us to wherever we chose to go. This was nice to have some family time on our own as well. Thanks Meet the Families and in particular Laurine, for a wonderful time!

Can't say enough good things about Christelle and our tour of Versailles. Just wonderful. Made the whole experience so much better having her to guide and inform us, and she did great with our 10 year old son, keeping him entertained and learning on the RER and during the visit. It was a highlight of our time in France.

What a great day this was! Our communication in booking and with all of my questions was super easy and they responded immediately. We took our family of 3 on the Versailles Palace tour and we had the most amazing guide, Laurine. She is a local and had such a great rapport with our almost 7-year-old boy. She was kind, engaging, and knowledgeable. Laurine answered our questions and kept the tour interesting from the train ride until the very end. Laurine also kept it fun for my husband and me. She used supplemental materials to help us understand the history and stories she told. She knows so much about Versailles and she was most impressive. We felt like we were talking to a friend. Not stuffy and she was incredibly easy to understand (accents can be tricky on other tours). I would, without a doubt, use this company again.

Marcela was a great tour guide. She entertained the kids on the train ride from Paris. We appreciated her meeting us at the train station located very close to where we were staying. Marcela’s tour was interesting and entertaining for the 4 adults and 2 tweens.

We had a wonderful time. Yaelle was so great with the kids and they were SO engaged. The Louvre was our first stop on our trip and it was so nice to learn as we went and see the most interesting things. The kids had a blast filling out the booklets. Someone even stopped us and asked where we got them! The day of our Versailles trip we were all a bit tired but Yaelle did a great job engaging the kids. I loved relearning French history and seeing all the beautiful rooms. I loved hearing a different perspective on Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Yaelle gave us some great recommendations for pastry shops and other little things to do around Paris. I would definitely recommend Meet the Locals to anyone traveling to Paris.

Great experience, Yaëlle was a very knowledgeable guide and very good with the kids. I would definitely recommend, and highly recommend booking multiple excursions with them as they’ll help put a more comprehensive plan together and single tour guide throughout makes the experience better.

I can honestly say that using Meet the Locals was one of the best decisions we made for our three days in Paris! Dominique was a pleasure to work with and she came up with a plan for a fabulous, no stress way for us to experience the highlights. She was so calm and reassuring when we were all trying to figure out how to work with the ever changing restrictions. Yaelle was our tour guide and she was so lovely and charming and my family adored her! She was so engaging and informative and my kids learned and retained so much from her. The best part was how seamlessly she fit in with our family and we all felt so comfortable with her. We can’t recommend Yaelle and Meet the Locals enough and would absolutely use them again in a heartbeat!
