France Private Tour Guides

“Disappointing on multiple levels”

We booked a private tour of the Louvre for 2.5 hours for us and our two kids (12 and 14 years old) for 275 Euro not including admission to the Louvre. When I booked, I made clear that we wanted a tour that appealed to our teens. When we met our guide, I repeated that request. Unfortunately, our guide had no idea how to make the Louvre interesting for teens. In fact, she was extremely inflexible: she had a lot of facts and wanted to tell them. And that was the second disappointment: in a small private tour, I expect a dialogue, not a monologue. But she didn't seek a conversation with us. In fact when we stopped a few times to look at a painting, she kept going and talking. And now we're at the third disappointment: we had headphones on and she had a mic. Unfortunately the quality was awful. I mentioned this twice. First she switched some headphones and then the mic. We said it was still hard to understand and she apologized, but insisted on using the poor equipment instead of just talking directly to us in a small circle. After that I asked her twice to speak slower and she said she would, but didn't. Finally, although her English grammar was very good, her accent was very, very hard for us to understand.

Dear Neal, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations, especially as your friends had recommended our tour to you. Unfortunately, on the day of your visit, we did not have a German-speaking guide available, and we fully understand that following a tour in English — especially for teenagers — can sometimes be a challenge. We regret if this affected your enjoyment of the visit. We also sincerely apologize if the guiding style felt too factual and less interactive. Our aim is always to adapt to our guests’ interests, and we’re sorry if we fell short in creating a dynamic and engaging experience for your family. Regarding the audio equipment, we regret the technical issues you encountered and appreciate you bringing them to our attention. Teenagers’ reactions in museum settings can indeed be unpredictable, and while many families and young visitors enjoy our tours, we recognize that expectations and experiences vary. We genuinely value your feedback as it helps us improve, and we hope we might have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future under better circumstances. Warm regards, Christian

“Beautiful day in Antibes and Cannes”

We used Anna for two separate tours during our trip to the South of France, and we’re so glad we did. On our first day, we explored Nice, Èze, and Monaco — places we never could have covered so efficiently or enjoyably on our own. On the second day, we visited Antibes and Cannes. I honestly can’t say enough about how much more enjoyable both days were because we spent them with Anna. I’ve traveled extensively, and Anna is truly one of the best guides I’ve ever had. Her English is excellent, so communication was seamless. The tours were well-paced, never rushed, and even included time for souvenir stops. Anna also coordinated perfectly with her husband, who picked us up at various points, making the logistics smooth and maximizing our time. Anna's warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made our time in the South of France even more special. I wholeheartedly recommend Anna and her husband — they were a true highlight of our trip.

Your kindness, curiosity, and warmth made guiding an absolute joy. Wishing you all many more wonderful travels — and I hope to welcome you back someday! Warmly, Anna

“2 days with Ana”

We used Anna for two separate tours during our trip, and we’re so glad we did. On our first day, we explored Nice, Èze, and Monaco — and there's no way we could have covered so much ground on our own. I’ve traveled extensively, and I can honestly say Anna is one of the best guides I’ve ever had — truly exceptional. She is a consummate professional and did a fantastic job understanding the dynamic of our family of four. She was especially great with my teenage daughters, making the experience both fun and engaging for them. One thing that really stood out: we never once had to ask her to take a photo. She instinctively knew all the best spots and always offered to capture the moment — a small gesture that made a big impact. Her English is excellent, and communication was effortless. The tours were perfectly planned — she never rushed us, made sure we had time for a souvenir stop, and coordinated seamlessly with her husband, who met us with the car at various points to save time and energy. Not a single moment was wasted. I wholeheartedly recommend Anna and her husband. Their attention to detail, warmth, and professionalism made our time in the South of France even more memorable.

Dear Amy, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a thoughtful and generous review! It was an absolute pleasure to spend those days with you, your husband, and your two wonderful girls. I'm so glad you enjoyed both tours and felt that everything was well-paced and tailored to your family — that means a lot to me. Your daughters were a joy to guide — curious, kind, and full of positive energy. It was lovely to see them so engaged throughout the day! And I’m thrilled to hear that the little touches, like helping with photos, made a difference — capturing memories is part of the magic, after all. Please send my warmest regards to your family. I hope our paths cross again one day — the Riviera will be waiting! With best wishes, Anna
