Great idea for a layover!

Michele_B, Nov 2022

Perfect tour of Paris during our 7 hour layover. David provided lot of area specific information which was very nice! We got to soak up Paris as much as possible in a few hours.

Perfect tour guide

Victor_E, Oct 2022

David was the best tour guide we could have imagined. He was extremely accommodating, gave crystal clear instructions and tailored a tour in our time restrictions. He was friendly and very knowledgeable. Stop your search and book him NOW, you will not regret it!

Life is what you make it - David helps you live it

Nichelle_B, Oct 2022

I was looking to experience the highlights of Paris and a few hidden gems during my 10.5 hour layover. David did not disappoint. He picked me and my carryon luggage up at the airport (CDG), was patient as I navigated through the airport. Drove me around to see some of the best of Paris while providing key historical details along the way. He was very attentive and made the experience memorable as a first time and possibly only time visitor. His insights had me purchase the skip the line ticket for the Louvre where I saw the Mona Lisa and so many other beautiful art pieces. If you have 5+ hours this excursion is where it's at.

Best Idea

Lonna_M, Oct 2022

This was one of the best investments we made during our week vacation in Norway. We had a 9.5hr layover in Paris and David made it a whole experience to remember. He loves his job and he makes it evident. He knows so much history and let’s you in on little secrets. If we hadn’t booked our trip with David, we would’ve seen only maybe 1-2 things, but instead we left with the Big 4 checked off. Thanks, David!

Amazing experience!

Lindsey_S, Sep 2022

David provided a fantastic tour! As a solo traveler, David made me feel very comfortable. He was friendly and knowledgeable, and it is easy to tell that he truly loves Paris. Highly recommend this if you are short on time and still want to see the city.

David was the most...

Jennifer_W, Aug 2022

David was the most amazing tour guide! We had a long layover in Paris and wanted to take advantage of it by seeing at least a little of Paris. David picked us up at our terminal, showed us so much more than I was expecting, and dropped us back off at our departing terminal with plenty of time left to relax before our next flight. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone having a long layover in Paris! It was absolutely wonderful!

Taste of Paris

Thomas_W, May 2022

Had an early arrival at CDG and David was there and ready to show us the sights of Paris. A fantastic sampling of Paris and David was a super guide, intelligent, fun and genuinely excited to share Paris with us. Thank you and we will be back because a small taste of Paris isn’t enough!!

Great

Betsy_S, May 2022

Wonderful tour. A bit short due to our plane being delayed. David helped us see the highlights of Paris at 12 midnight

Excellent Tour of Paris

Malia_M, Apr 2022

David packed so much into our short layover tour, and was pleasant and knowledgeable. We were really glad we booked! He stayed in the car the entire time, and always circled back round to us quickly when we indicated we were ready to move on from a site. He took us through some crazy traffic that we definitely would not have wanted to navigate on our own. Paris was beautiful and this experience is one to remember for sure.

Taste of Paris in little time

Sarah_C, Apr 2022

To start we had an amazing time on this tour and would highly recommend. David made things convenient and easy. David had great communication from beginning to end, easy to find from the airport with his instructions and dropped us off right where we needed to be. Wish we could have seen more and spent more time but with only a 9hr layover David was able to help us make the most of our time and really fit in a lot of sites of Paris. He was very knowledgeable and provided interesting information about Paris throughout the entire tour, answered questions about Parisian culture and offered additional tips. If you only have a day layover in Paris this is a great way to spend it!

Great Paris layover tour

Marc_F, Mar 2022

I don't think we could have had a better experience with our Paris tour. While we thought we had plenty of time during a 10 hour layover, between passport control, having to get COVID tests and needing to be back in time to airport to go back through security for our flight we ended up with only 4 hours for our tour. I had already been to Paris, but no one else had, so there was so much they wanted to see in so little time. David could not have been a better guide. He was able to get us to all of the highlights in the allotted time without difficulty (considering having to navigate Sunday morning traffic). His knowledge and ability to answer our questions was impeccable. He couldn't have been more pleasant to 4 people who could have been a little grumpy for there 9 hour flight from Africa with still another 9 hours if flying together home. I would recommend this tour, and David in particular, to anyone without reservations.

Our tour guide David was...

Mimi_P, Mar 2022

Our tour guide David was the best! He knew a lot about the places he took us to which made our excursion not only fun and exciting but very educational whcih I like. He was also super friendly. He picked us up and dropped us off at the airport without any trouble! I’d recommend this excursion with David to anyone who is interested in getting a taste of Paris with a limited amount of time.

Take this Tour!

ROBYNNE_S, Nov 2021

Our first trip to Paris was less than a 24 hour layover, however David was so informative that I know this will not be our last visit. You definitely get your moneys worth on this tour. David is personable and professional. He was able to show us most of the major sights where if we never get the opportunity to return we have an memory to take with us for the rest of our lives.. My husband and I feel like we made a new friend in Paris! Thank you David!

Perfect Layover :)

kldwall, Oct 2021

What a wonderful time in Paris we had thanks to David! Right from the beginning, he gave us instructions to maneuver the airport with ease, then took us and gave us the best of Paris giving us plenty of time to enjoy every stop without having to worry about the time that we had to go back to the airport. The perfect layover! We highly recommend his services.

Family

Lucinda_C, Oct 2021

We were picked up at the airport on time with good instructions for meeting point. The tour covered all of the major sights. This allowed family members an idea of where they might want to revisit. David was informative and helpful.

Paris in a blink !

Kaithlyn_P, Aug 2021

We had a short layover in Paris of 7 hours. David made sure that he arrived right on time and communicated with us once we arrived. He educated us on history, neighbors, and monuments in Paris. By the end of the tour he made sure we arrived with 2 hours to check in back in the airport for our connecting flight. We will definitely be visiting Paris and will be contacting David for our private tours! Can’t recommend him enough !

Class act!

Kristi_S, Jul 2021

David was an amazing host! We were only in Paris a short time, but we will definitely schedule a longer trip and hire him to show us around. Highly recommend!!

Recommend!!

Don_G, Jul 2021

This tour is Highly recommended if you have 7+ hour layover in Paris. David was on time and was very knowledgeable of the city. Thanks again David for giving my family and I a taste of Paris.

Fantastic day tour of Paris!

Liz_H, Jul 2021

My friends and I took advantage of an 8 hour layover in Paris to do a day tour with David. We chose him based on his excellent online reviews, and I can confirm that he deserves every single one of them! France had just opened up to international travelers a couple of weeks previously, so we were a little concerned that we'd run into problems. All went perfectly smoothly and easily. David picked us up at a clearly designated exit door at CDG airport. On the drive into the city, he shared lots of interesting information with us. Our first stop was for a nice coffee and croissant at a charming little cafe in Montmartre. From there, it was a pleasant and short stroll to beautiful views of the city from the steps of the Basilica Sacre-Couer. From there we drove all over Paris, with David pointing out landmarks and sharing his extensive historical knowledge with us. Our tour ended with a photo stop at the Eiffel Tower. David got us back to the airport in plenty of time for our connecting flight. He was an amazing host, with lots of entertaining stories and a great sense of humor. I'd highly recommend his tour to anyone who wants to see Paris. Thank you, David!
