I visited Paris for the first time and decided to book a full-day tour with Walid. It was honestly one of the best experiences I had on my trip! He customized my tour to fit what I wanted to see in Paris. As a solo traveler, Walid made the tour feel like I was exploring the city with a friend. He showed me the landmarks I wanted to see, such as the Louvre and Notre Dame, while also showing me hidden gems throughout the city. I tried the best croissants, raclette, and macarons I've ever tasted while on this tour. I learned the history of the places I visited and got suggestions of where I should go for the remainder of my trip. Another important thing I would like to mention is that the tour helped me with safety in Paris. I learned of common scams and how to keep my belongings safe while out in public. Overall, the tour was amazing and allowed me to make some beautiful memories. I would highly recommend anyone looking to book a private tour do so with DayIn! They will make sure you get the most out of your stay in Paris.We spent the morning with Walid and the afternoon with Clara. They are both kind and very professional. Their sense of humor and enthusiasm were infectious. Thanks a lot for your good vibes and this lovely day. We wish you the best!
