“The best tour guide!
Jun 2025 • Solo
I loved my whole morning with Yves! He showed me all the historical landmarks of Paris and gave me a morning of history I’ll never forget. I can’t wait to return to Paris!“

“Highlight of Paris!
Sept 2025 • Couples
I am so glad that I came across Yves when looking for a Louvre tour guide because he made the experience one of our best moments in Paris! Yves cares deeply about art and history but he also cares deeply about making sure we enjoyed our time. He tailored the tour to our interests and was the perfect balance of insightful and humorous. In 3 hours he showed us much more of the Louvre than we could’ve seen ourselves and tied all the different sections together thematically. I cannot recommend Yves enough for any Paris museum tours!
The knowledge was really impressive, but we were equally impressed by how fun the tour was. We were a little apprehensive heading into the tour, as 8 hours is a long time to spend with someone you’ve just met. Yves quickly put our fears to rest with his friendliness, jokes and charisma. The day flew by and not once were we bored or hoping for it to be over. It was a shame when the tour came to an end.
Highly recommend a tour with Yves and we look forward to booking on again whenever we’re next in Paris. Thanks again :)”

“Incredible 8 hour walking tour!
nov. 2024 • En couple
My partner and I had the pleasure of going on a 8 hour walking tour round Paris with Yves yesterday and loved every second of it!
The tour was originally meant to be with a focus on Napoleon, however, after Yves learned that my partner didn’t have much knowledge in this area and I also had an additional interest in Ancient Rome, he adjusted the tour to make it suitable for both of us. This didn’t detract from what we wanted to see originally and instead we ended up seeing so much more than we originally thought we would.
He was filled with knowledge and anecdotes about different areas of Paris that I think would be impossible to replicate if you were to try and explore Paris alone.

“Tour Excellence
A highlight tour for us – educational and engaging. Yves is a teacher at heart and provides an insightful look at the history, architecture, and art of Orleans, aided by visuals, storytelling, and his obvious passion for the topics at hand. There is so much to learn about Orleans beyond Joan of Arc and Yves made the city come alive for us through a tour that accommodated our specific interests and questions. We highly recommend his services. With gratitude.”

“Great Experience!
Our group had an absolute blast – it’s not every day you find yourself laughing and learning at the same time. Yves has this fantastic ability to make history feel like a lively chat among friends. I left the tour not just with a head full of facts but also with the feeling that I had just spent a day out with a group of old pals. For anyone even slightly intrigued by Napoleon, or just looking for a fun, informative day out, I can’t recommend Yves’ tour enough. It’s history, but with a hearty dose of humor and charm!”
“The highlight of our trip!!
“This was the best investment and hands down the highlight of our trip!! We booked a tour of the Louvre with Yves. The Louvre is huge and there is so much to see. In two hours, Yves managed to show us an incredible amount. He is deeply knowledgeable about art history, and it was amazingly helpful to have him contextualize what we were seeing for us. We are already planning to book with him again the next time we are in Paris. Don’t hesitate—this is an experience that is worth every penny!!”
