 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Paris by Emy provided an amazing experience for my first European trip- which was also a solo trip! I reached out to Emy in March and she took the time to interview me over zoom to truly understand what I was looking to do during my two weeks in Paris. She accommodated my schedule even though France is 6 hours ahead. She customized a tour for me which ensured I saw all the things I asked for and related items she thought I would also enjoy. She ensured I had front of the line tickets for Versailles, and the Louvre. Ensured I got to the top of the Eiffel Tower, champagne and a river cruise included.  She didn’t make my hotel reservations but did provide recommendations and the hotel I had was in the neighborhood of St Germaine Des Pres - with many restaurants options and a metro station right around the corner. It was a safe and quiet neighborhood so I wasn’t worried walking back to my hotel after dinner.  The first day Emy met me at my hotel and we travelled together to Montmartre. This allowed her to introduce me to my neighborhood. Set me up with a metro card and an introduction on how to navigate the metro. We started at Sacre Coeur where she told me all about the basilica. And then wandered down through where the artists are and then the famous cabarets. We had a fabulous lunch at La Madison Rose. She even gave me some time to shop in the curious shops of Monmartre. Emy also arranged for me to go to Auvers-sur-Ouse with a driver to see where Van Gogh spent his last days. And arranged a driver to take me to Giverny to see Monet’s water garden. My itinerary included a shopping day, Napoleon’s Tomb, the Rodin Museum,Notre Dame with specific instructions to go to Saint Louis Island for Berthillion ice cream after! Together she also arranged for us to see Chatres (which if you don’t know you must look it up!) and I also got experience a real Parisian nightclub when she arranged for me to have a VIP experience at Arc. I think the best part about my custom itinerary was Emy’s talent to anticipate my needs and built flexibility into my itinerary.  So I had an itinerary of things to do but not all of them required tickets so if I wanted to switch my days, or sleep in, or do something inside because of the weather- I had that flexibility. When I go back to France, and I will, I will be asking Emy to help me. When we were walking around together she mentioned for some people she has arranged “shopping in Paris” tours. Tours in the region of Champagne. And she and I have already discussed my thoughts on a multi-day trip to Normandy to visit the WWII sites. Emy is warm, engaging, super knowledgeable and a delight to tour with. I really appreciated her taking time with me but then also letting me truly travel solo and experience Paris in the most magnificent way.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I first utilized the services of Emy, my travel planner during my 2018 Christmas vacation to the “City of Lights”.  She provided me and my family with a highly professional and well-rounded two days of experiencing so many wonderful things about Paris.  So much so that I just returned from my second two-day visit (of course rebooking with Emy, my most favorite tour guide).  She is exceptional--her knowledge of Paris history and culture is truly impressive, and extends beyond the typical tourist requirements.  She seamlessly integrates fascinating stories and lesser-known facts, which makes my experience far richer than a mere recitation of dates and events.  As I began to initially prepare for my travels, she patiently addressed all of my concerns and wishes from the very beginning of my plan making throughout until the tour days came and went…perfectly!  While she is eager to see that all my needs are met, she is also efficient in making sure that mistakes are avoided.  My trip this time was in August, and when Emy noticed that I was looking a bit pale, from pushing through the summer heat and crowds, we took a pause at one of the loveliest churches in Paris.  She found a convenient church pew, and we sat and enjoyed a few minutes of a beautiful service that was taking place.  It was a spur of the moment brief change in our plans…yet while giving me a much needed break, it also presented me with an unexpected memory to cherish while in an awesome setting.  This demonstrates genuine concern and adaptability.  In addition, she later took me to a lesser known and uncrowded location in the Montmartre area that had a picture-perfect view ideal for photos.  She expertly connects historical events to the present-day social fabric, offering insightful perspectives.  And for all the above reasons I look forward to returning to Paris again someday to both my favorite destination and my favorite travel planner, Emy!!! Runette

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Je voulais découvrir Paris dans toute son authenticité, son histoire et ses grands classiques, tout en profitant d’expériences plus personnalisées. Paris by Emy a parfaitement compris mes attentes et a organisé mon séjour entièrement sur mesure. J’ai été émerveillé par les chefs-d’œuvre du Louvre, le château de Versailles, Notre-Dame et, bien sûr, la Tour Eiffel. Passionné par l’Histoire de France, j’ai particulièrement apprécié les visites qu’Emy a imaginées autour des rois de France et de la Révolution française de 1789. Emy m’a également recommandé d’excellentes brasseries parisiennes ainsi que de très bonnes adresses pour le shopping, ce qui a rendu mon séjour encore plus agréable et authentique. Emy est une personne extrêmement agréable, cultivée et passionnée, avec une connaissance remarquable de l’histoire de Paris et de la France. On sent qu’elle aime profondément transmettre et faire découvrir sa ville. Un immense merci, Emy, pour ce magnifique séjour à Paris ! La prochaine fois, ce sera la Normandie et les plages du Débarquement avec Paris by Emy ! À bientôt !

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We booked Emy for two separate days in Paris, and she made both of them highlights of our trip. Day one was street art, medieval Paris and the historic sites with real history behind each stop, not just a list of stops. Day two she took us through antique book shops, Officine Universelle Buly 1803, and a run of patisseries that I never would have found on my own. What set Emy apart was the feel of her tours. It was less like a tour and more like spending the day with a local friend who happens to know every insider spot in the city, and who also knows the classics well enough to fold them in without it feeling obligatory. She read what we were interested in and adjusted as we went. If you want Paris beyond the checklist but not instead of it, book her. We'd do it again in a heartbeat!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Emy transformed our trip to Paris into something we will remember for the rest of our lives. From the very first conversation, she took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and designed a completely personalized itinerary around our interests. Every recommendation—from museums and restaurants to hidden streets and local cafés—was perfect. As a licensed guide, her knowledge of Paris, its history, art, and culture is extraordinary, but what truly sets her apart is her warmth, professionalism, and passion. She doesn't simply show you Paris—she brings it to life with fascinating stories and insider insights you would never discover on your own. The pace was perfect, she adapted effortlessly to our requests throughout the day, and every detail was taken care of. We felt like we were exploring Paris with a knowledgeable friend who genuinely wanted us to have the best possible experience. If you want an authentic, stress-free, luxury experience tailored specifically to you, Emy is worth every euro. We have traveled extensively around the world and can honestly say this was one of the finest private tours we've ever taken. Without hesitation: 5 stars isn't enough. We would give her 10 stars if we could, and we can't wait to return to Paris for more exceptional private tours and unique experiences

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Since we had only hours to visit Paris, our tour guide Emy, accommodated us in every way possible. Our 4 hour tour included a driver in an air conditioned van with replenished water to help ease the heat of July. As we traveled to each location of interest, Emy gave us a detailed description of what we were visiting. The driver dropped us off, Emy would walk with us to tell the significance of each place of interest. We traveled to many interesting sights to get a true understanding of Paris. Emy accommodated us in shopping locations, Restaurants, outside Cafes, museums, tourist and local areas. Emy took photos of us at each location.  Having a private driver and Emy saved on travel time as well as physical walking time. At the end of our tour, we felt as if we had a great understanding of the city of Paris. We were so pleased with our private driving tour, Emy was then booked for a walking tour the next day. Emy’s expert knowledge and her keen eye for detail was so appreciated!  There was never a dull moment and Emy’s personality left us with feeling as if we knew her for years. No question was unanswered and no request was too much. Loved both of our personalized, private tours!!!  Emy is a wonderful tour guide and very experienced and knowledgeable with accommodating her client’s tour requests. Highly recommend Emy for any size group or private, one-on-one tour. Exceptionally professional as well as personable!!  Emy is worth it!!  5 STARS

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Emy was an excellent guide for us! I am so glad I found her online. I gave Emy only a general outline of what we wanted to see (some of the Catholic churches in Paris, and learn about any related history) and she filled our scheduled time together with other Catholic churches I was not even aware of that were in the city and were just stunning, beautiful in unique ways. It was a joy to be with a guide who clearly treasured the faith and shared the day's precious time at each church so respectfully and lovingly with us without being over zealous. Thank you, Emy, for making our limited time together so worthwhile! And thanks to Olivier too for the smooth ride and timely pickups at each stop. It was a wonderful day for sure.

She planned everything for our trip perfectly, taking all the stress out of the process. She arranged all of our transportation to and from the airport, our tickets to Versailles, and an amazing tour of the Veuve Cliquot cellars. She also gave us shopping recommendations and a private tour of Mont Martre. Her attention to detail, excellent recommendations, and seamless organization made our time in Paris truly unforgettable. If you want a stress-free and beautifully curated Parisian experience, I highly recommend her services!"
