Can't give enough praise to Martine, our Paris Greeters guide. She is exceptional. She met us in front of Notre Dame and walked and talked with us for hours, in and out of Hotel Dieu, Notre Dame, Saint Gervais, Hotel de Beauvais and through the streets of Marais. It was fascinating. She has a vast amount of knowledge of the... More

I found out about this service less than 14 days before my trip in Dec 2011 and therefore they were nit able to schedule a trip. They did offer to put my request 'out there' to see if any of their greeters could accommodate me. Stephane emailed me. We coordinated a 2 hour trip through the Latin quarter. He promised... More

This was our(my wife and me) 4th time in Paris and we had already covered the majority of the well known touristic places. Then we decided to book a stroll with Paris Greeter and i must say this was the smartest thing we did. We met our hostess as scheduled and we what a nice and kind person she was!... More

Our guide was reluctant to take our money, but he was such a great tour guide we had to show our appreciation! They ask you about your interests and then suggest a tour for you. We really enjoyed our tour of Luxembourg Garden and the Latin Quarter. Parisien du Jour is the Paris Greeter organization, part of the Global Greeter... More

Booked Paris greeter a few weeks in advance. A lady named Valarie showed us round the Bastille area. She shared her passion for the district and showed us all sorts of hidden passages and interesting thinks. Could not recommend this more. More

What you get is a private tour around one of the sections of Paris with someone who lives there. We toured the Marais with a life long resident and saw the area in... More

We signed up just a week before we planned on meeting our greeter, and we got a response within 48 hours from a volunteer! He was a retired CPA who showed us the old neighborhood called Belleville which became part of Paris in the 1860's and now makes up parts of the 10th, 11th, 19th and 20th arrondissements. For more...

I booked a tour with Paris greeters many months in advance. This is a free tour but you are welcome to donate the company at your leisure. I got an offer to go on a tour away from the tourists spots and I denied it thinking I won't have much time to see the "musts". I thought that once I... More

This free half day tour was a highlight of our 2 weeks in Paris. At the website: http://www.parisiendunjour.fr/ I filled out a form that helped the organization match me with someone who had volunteered to show 1-4 tourists around/his or her neighborhood. I could then reject or accept the tour proposal. Once I accepted the proposal,all contact was with my... More
