We spent 1.5 incredible days with Celia and her driver William exploring Paris, and it was truly one of the best guided experiences we’ve ever had. She led us through Montmartre, Sacré-Cœur, Notre Dame, and the Louvre—where she arranged skip-the-line access—and even took us to the perfect hidden spot for a family photo with the Eiffel Tower in the background. As we drove between sites, Celia shared fascinating historical context and stories that made Paris come alive for both the adults and kids. And talk about going above and beyond, she helped purchase tickets to a river boat cruise of the Seine River and William dropped them at our hotel so we had them as soon as we arrived in Paris!
She also went out of her way to ensure our children—who can be very picky eaters—found cafés where they could enjoy something familiar, which made all the difference in keeping the experience fun and relaxed. Her ability to balance deep knowledge with flexibility and warmth made our time in Paris unforgettable.
To cap it off, we joined Celia for a half-day tour of the Palace and Gardens of Versailles. Celia’s insights brought the grandeur of the site to life, and thanks to her planning, we entered through a special side entrance—no lines at all! William was a fantastic driver, and even coordinated perfectly to drop us off right at the doorstep of our next activity, a croissant-making class. It was the perfect end to an exceptional few days. We couldn’t recommend Celia and William more highly for anyone looking for a personalized, thoughtful, and memorable Paris experience.
