Zoya did a wonderful job taking us around Paris to see the highlights which was difficult at times with traffic and various road work closures. In the afternoon we visited the Louvre and her knowledge about the history of the building was amazing. She was also able to take us directly to various masterpieces that we wanted to see. Our only drawback was that Zoya spoke very fast and so it was difficult at times to understand everything that she tried to convey. She was very willing to tailor the tour to meet our wishes and physical needs also her vehicle was very comfortable. She provided bottles of water and picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel.

Wow wow wow, I don’t even know how to start explaining how great this was and I can’t recommend it enough. My fiancé and I were only in Paris for one day and we were shown all the highlights, was booked an amazing lunch, and was given an absolutely wonderful tour filled with interesting information. I can’t praise Zoya enough for the wonderful job she did and how flexible to our day she was. I can’t recommend her enough.

Passionate and delightful is how we describe Zoya as a tour guide. She is passionate about her work, has deep knowledge of history of France and also the lore about the personalities involved in the history of the site. This made the tour interesting and very enjoyable. She is always aware of the pace of the tour and is making sure that it is to the liking of her clients. She is very organized and every moment of the tour is well spent. She has a delightful personality and engaging personality.
