high-concept, uncommon tours, tastings, and experiences that dare you to fall in love with paris
Locals in Love with The City of Lights
We started out as a few friends taking visitors around like we would for our own friends in late 2018…and now the world has taken notice.
And filled our little shelves with awards:
☆ Top 10% Worldwide for Expertise ☆
☆ 2019 Paris Experience Award ☆
☆ #1 in Europe, #2 Worldwide on AirBnB Experiences ☆
☆ Over 6,000 Five-Star Reviews ☆
And yet we don’t have a huge Instagram or Facebook following. We don’t have a noticeable presence on TripAdvisor and GetYourGuide…We simply focus on making every tour memorable. (we might be the only ones in town without a TripAdvisor award…). Instead we check in on locations where we visit, find out about a new wine pairing, see the renovations a hidden little spot has accomplished and discover new things for our guests to enjoy.
Word of mouth. (And a bit of press…)
We spent our time not on marketing but on getting to know our guests and something very ~vintage~ happened … Word of mouth. Many of our guests have been to visit with us more than once. Guests we meet for the first time often tell us it was their friends who came on the same tour and shared the secret. It’s a bit different from how things are done generally. We don’t have thousands of reviews on sites where large operators and marketing agencies hold sway. Just north of 6,000, verified, 5-star reviews on AirBnB and Google. No marketing agency. No advertisements.
Our secret is no secret at all!
We use our expertise as writers and researchers of an indy guide to visiting Paris #notlikeatourist — PARIS > D E F I N E D MAGAZINE (currently in beta) — to craft cool little touches that can’t be replicated for mass-tourism platforms.
We take how it’s been done before and re-imagine everything — the routes, the places visited, and make ‘Paris-ing’ more eclectic, comfortable, and fun.
This is the Paris you were promised.
