ALEXANDRE CINDY

My wife and I are frequent Paris visitors, but for our recent trip, we wanted to show my father – 35 years absent from Paris – what the ‘big deal’ is. As we considered the mix of special experiences within the city and the day-trips that we had in mind, it quickly became apparent that the logistics was going to be overwhelming. I decided that I needed expert help. I started by researching the options. I knew that I wanted to work with a one-stop-shop, locally owned company, and I liked the fact that My Private Paris is a woman owned/led business. The reviews of the company were excellent, and I found all of my communications with the company to be productive and efficient. I especially appreciate the time that Ludivine spent discussing our preferences, family health issues, etc. In the process she helped us to assemble the sort of itinerary that our Parisian friends admire. We did seven days of touring. My Private Paris, provided a van and driver, a guide, pre-purchased tickets, and an app with daily updates on our itinerary. Considering that we visited everything from the Champaign region, Omaha Beach, Giverny, and Fontainebleau / Vaux-le-Vicomte, it’s quite remarkable that the company never missed a beat. The logistics were perfect. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. The days, while long, were never overwhelming. We did many outstanding things in Paris as well, including an astounding after-hours, private tour of Opera Garnier. If I could do it all again, I would change nothing. My Private Paris both guided us and had our back for the entire trip. So rather than administrate, I had the pleasure of enjoying the trip with my family.

An unforgettable first trip to Paris - all thanks to an incredible travel company! I can’t say enough good things about the team at My Private Paris that planned my family’s very first visit to Paris. From the moment I reached out, Ludivine at My Private Paris made everything feel effortless, thoughtful, and completely tailored to us. As first time visitors, we were a mix of excited and overwhelmed, but they turned what could have been a stressful experience into the most magical trip we have ever taken. Every detail of our itinerary felt hand picked with care - from the charming tours of Le Marais and Montmartre to the perfectly timed skip the line tickets at Versailles, the Louvre, and the Eiffel Tower. They even coordinated our airport transfers and private driver services between tours. What impressed me most was how attentive and responsive My Private Paris was throughout the entire process. Any questions I had along the way were always answered quickly and kindly. Thank you Ludivine for the google meet call prior to the trip to go over the itinerary. It genuinely felt like having a knowledgeable friend in my corner who wanted me to fall in love with Paris as much as she did. We want to give a special thank you to our tour guides Ludivine, Elliott, Raphaelle, and Marie D. You made our journey unforgettable. Your care, expertise, and attention to detail turned every step into something special. We are deeply grateful for everything you did. Thanks to My Private Paris, we didn’t just visit Paris, we experienced it. If you’re planning a trip to Paris - especially your first - do yourself a favor and book with My Private Paris. They turned a dream into a beautifully curated reality, and we are already excited to plan our next adventure with them. Lori Fraser North Vancouver, Canada

In 2023 we had a one-week, five-person girl’s trip and used My Private Paris for four tours plus an airport transfer. We had such a marvelous time three years ago, that we all decided to return for a second girls’ trip this past May. During our nine-day stay, we used MPP for seven tours (six half-days and one full-day) plus an airport transfer. Starting last fall I worked with Ludivine to create the perfect itinerary. She was a dream to work with — extremely helpful and flexible, offered great suggestions/information, and was always prompt with email replies. The guides provided (Lucien, Zach, Victor, and Flora, just to name a few) were nothing short of outstanding. They were very personable, extremely patient, had extensive history backgrounds, intelligent, passionate about the history of Paris, and just plain fun to be with!! MPP guides made history come alive for us, and we throughly enjoyed the detail, stories, and insight they provided. I also felt we were in good hands the entire time, and that they had our best interests at heart. Even when one of their guides became sick at the last minute for our evening Louvre tour, a substitute guide Maelle (a delightful guide we had in 2023) was provided with only a delay of 15-minutes. Even though she had already done two tours that day (and she must have been bone tired!!!), she provided a memorable and informative experience for us. Our tours with MPP were definitely the highlight of our trip … and we would certainly use them again for any future visits to Paris. (For context, our group consisted of two women in their late sixties and the others were in their early to late 30’s.)

We only had two full days in Paris, and My Private Paris made every moment count. We did three different tours with three different guides, and each one was fantastic: a half-day chauffeured sightseeing tour with Christina, the Catacombs with Raphaelle, and a Central Paris walking tour with Dina. We also enjoyed a private cruise on the Seine and arranged our airport transfer through them. From my very first Teams call with their planner to the clear communication throughout and the flawless execution of each experience, everything was wonderful. Thanks to their expertise, we were able to see so much more of Paris than we ever could have managed on our own. Highly recommended and absolutely worth it!

We had an amazing experience with our private day trip to the Loire Valley. Romain was an amazing guide, his knowledge and enthusiasm about our tour made it extremely enjoyable. Romain was very engaging with the entire family. From booking our tour to being dropped off at our hotel after, the entire process went smoothly and I highly reccomend using their services.

My partner and I celebrated our anniversary in Paris and booked four private tours with My Private Paris, based on a friend’s recommendation: 1) Full day at Versailles, the French Royal Domain (Guide: Romain); 2) 3-hour Louvre Museum Exclusive Private Tour (Guide: Romain); 3) 3-hour Explore Montmartre - the Iconic Hill of Artists and the Belle Epoque (Guide: Audrey); and 4) Napoleon Tour: Invalides & Arc of Triumph (Guide: Lucien). We spaced out the tours, with two per week. I worked with Ludivine over email about two months in advance to customize our itinerary, which she prepared and made available to us through a link. Her communications throughout the experience were prompt and professional and she answered all of my questions so that we were prepared beforehand. It was so helpful to not have to worry about the details for these experiences, since I was busy planning the rest of our itinerary—even better when we were in Paris and could just wake up and the only things we had to worry about were whether to bring an umbrella and getting to the meeting point (either in our hotel lobby for Versailles or a short walk away). We had an outstanding experience on our private tours. From start to finish, everything was handled with incredible professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail. We received reminder emails the day before each tour and friendly texts from our guides the morning of the tour, confirming they were in place at the meeting point. Our guides were extremely knowledgeable about the relevant history and culture and made every stop come alive in a memorable way. The guides were very personable and upbeat—to the point where we were sad leaving them! They personalized the itineraries to our interests and were flexible throughout the tours, adjusting the pace, and making sure we were always comfortable (asking if we needed a coffee/water or restroom break, etc.). Transportation (private SVU for Versailles, Driver: Walid, and the metro from Invalides to

My wife and I booked 4 private tours and were able to see and learn a tremendous amount of Paris in 5 short days. We made the most of our brief trip by taking private tours. Central Paris Private Walking Tour (Marie D)-fabulous orientation to the city and a deep dive into Montmarte. Very Best of Paris in a Day (Audrey)-Incredible tour and private driver allowed us to get in all the highlights. Louvre (Manuel)-We would have been lost without Manuel, who shared the Must See's as well as some history of the building and collection. Versailles Day Trip (Humberto)-A worthwhile trip out of the city with an amazing historian who also brought us to a local market. What we didn't initially realize is that Ludivine (Office Coordinator) made certain that each guide knew what the others had done so we had no overlaps. Ludivine also arranged our car service from the airport. My Private Paris is a full-service Guide Service with only the very best guides, most of whom know one another and have been doing this for years. The guides of My Private Paris were well worth the price. I heartily recommend this company and all our guides.

My partner and I booked 6 different tours with My Private Paris during our trip to Paris in March. Each of the tours turned up to be wonderful, and together they made our time in Paris one of our most cherished moments in our lifetimes. We would like to begin by sharing our favourite tour, which is the full day Versailles and Petit Trianon tour with our lovely tour guide Victor. We really adored Victor for not only his passion and knowledge, but also for his kindness, humor and attention to detail. He even gave us a sweet little surprise by bringing us French pastries for our indulgence while strolling on the Royal Garden. Throughout the tour, his great storytelling elevated our understanding and admiration of the Palace, the Garden and the Petit Trianon, and his care for us had made us feel very comfortable and at ease. It was a perfect full day tour, and we felt like we gained a friend in the end. We had another amazing full day tour when we did the Paris Highlights Tour with our delightful tour guide Soline. We greatly appreciated Soline for several things she had done for us. She went out of her way to reserve tickets of Notre Dame Cathedral for us, and she had also brought us to the beautiful Luxembourg Garden to fulfill our wish. Even more impressive, she walked us from the Luxembourg Garden, through Pont Alexandre III, and along Champs-Elysees to Arc de Triomphe. We cherished Soline for walking with us through the great distance, and for looking after us so well throughout the tour. Our quiet lunch at the Luxembourg Garden, under the blue skies will forever be etched and imprinted in our hearts. We would also like to thank our other amazing tour guides - Olek, for his passion and energy that turned Louvre and Orsay into a fun and fruitful journey; Lucien, for his great little stories and lead along the alleys of Montmartre; Manu, for his humor that warmed us up while being soaked in heavy rain at the summit of the Eiffel Tower; and Laure, for her intricate
