We recently concluded a visit to Paris with an itinerary created and set up by Paris-Toujours. It was fantastic. Everything worked as planned and scheduled. Our accommodation, Hotel Saint-Pères was excellent with a luxurious room and breakfast. It was convenient to the major sites. Drivers were punctual and safe. Our guide for the tours was very knowledgeable and friendly. We worked with Paris-Toujours several months creating our itinerary. They were able to design an itinerary that met our needs and provided us time during our visit relax and enjoy and not worry about details. Manon was a pleasure to work with throughout the process and kept us updated with any late changes. We highly recommend this travel agency to provide a luxury experience of a lifetime.

Laurence created an itinerary that reflected our interests and that gave us a very special Paris experience, one we will never forget. Prior to putting the itinerary together, she called me to ask about our interests and preferences. Everything was perfect, down to the smallest details, including a beautiful bouquet of flowers waiting for us at our elegant hotel. The trip was perfectly paced so that we left Paris rested and with memories of our unique experiences – walking tours of secret places with our guide, a private cooking class complete with a trip to the markets to hand select the ingredients, a private day trip to Versailles, and a dinner cruise on the Seine to see the ‘City of Lights’ in all of its glory. Thank you Laurence and Paris-Toujours !
