About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- sulliclm0 contributionsFamily Chocolate tour in St GermainWe had a wonderful time with Blandine! She was incredibly patient with our kids and made sure we got to hit all the spots even though we were running a little long. The kids loved all the treats and we got some great history of the city along with tips for other parts of our trip. It was definitely a highlight of our time in Paris for both us and the kids!Written September 2, 2024
- kimberlyfF8412MS0 contributionsGreat experience!Sonia was absolutely fantastic. She was kind and very engaging. She was good at tailoring the tour based on our kids' interests. We had a really great time on the tour and learned a ton! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone with kids. Without this tour, we would have been overwhelmed and the kids would probably have been bored and complained a lot!Written August 6, 2024
- dicelees0 contributionsTower of London Scavenger HuntWe booked the Tower of London Kids Tour for July 26, 2024. The booking experience was easy, and communication with Albane was great right from the very first click. On the day, our guide Mehru created an amazing experience for our multi-generational group of five (ages 7 to 77). We really appreciated how she was able cater the tour to our group, sometimes even on the fly when our daughter surprised us by being a little more scared of the gruesome details of history than we all expected. Mehru was able to find places for us to sit, take photos of our group at the best spots and even offered to video record us climbing up a very tiny spiral staircase. I won't spoil any of the really creative details of tour, but needless to say, more daughter loved the special touches. Even though the tour was a little on the expensive side, we could definitely recognize the difference in quality service, Mehru's impeccable knowledge of the different towers and layout of the Tower of London, the history of all the people who have inhabited the castle, and it's greater importance within the history of the City of London. We absolutely could not have replicated the experience on our own. This was definitely the best tour we booked of our entire two week trip. If I could give more than 5 stars, I definitely would. We highly, highly recommend, and will hopefully have the opportunity to book another tour the next time we visit the UK or Paris.Written August 5, 2024
- 573oliviag0 contributionsSuch a memorable experience!Booking our tour was so easy and accommodating. By taking the tour with Doina I feel we recall a lot more of the magic of Versailles and this period in history. Doina’s knowledge of Versailles and French history meant our questions could be answered and the handy workbook for the kids meant they took home a special memento of their visit. Thanks to having a dedicated guide we have some very special family photos to remember the visit. We visited on a Sunday and the lines weren’t too bad but still very handy to be able to skip these on a hot day with little people.Written June 28, 2024
- E4689LNmaryw0 contributionsFull Day Tour of Paris!Nathalie TRES BONNE!!!!!! Ma fille l’aimait et Nathalie est favourite! She was the perfect way for us to start our Paris and French vacation! Nathalie was great connecting with our daughter who started out quiet and shy...we learned so much about the city and spent some nice time in Montmarte, which is where I (mom) was most interested in, as I knew we wouldn't get there without a guide! HIGHLY SUGGEST!!!!Written April 26, 2024
- C1482AUdave0 contributionsGreat companyI highly recommend this company. Dominique helped organize a wide variety of tours for my family in Paris including the Louvre, the Orsay, Versailles and Montmartre. She was super responsive to my emails and calls and made sure all the details were worked out before we arrived to Paris. The guides that did the tours were great with the kids and we had a blast.Written April 2, 2024
- M2805ZEbarbarah0 contributionsThe best!Meet the locals provided my family with the BEST tour experiences in Paris. I would recommend this company to everyone and anyone! Our children will never forget each and every thoughtfully planned out activity that MTL planned for us.Written March 29, 2024
- kathyjU4637GH0 contributionsYaëlle was a wonderful guideThree generations of my family enjoyed a wonderful trip from Paris to Versailles under the guidance of Yaëlle from Meet the Locals for Families. Her knowledge of local history, combined with her love of sharing that history, made for a wonderful afternoon. She did not rush her tour, and customized the timeline to accommodate feedings, breaks for the kids, and coffee for Grampa. The tour started on the train, utilizing the time to educate the adults on the timelines for Versailles and to entertain the children with activity books. We are still talking about it 3 weeks later. I would highly recommend Yaëlle as she did a wonderful job.Written March 20, 2024
- BreareyFam0 contributionsGreat tour for the whole family!We had a wonderful tour with Tifenn! She was extremely knowledgeable and made learning really fun for our boys (8 & 10). We loved the clues and activity books, and our boys loved working for the ‘treat’ at the end. Thanks for a memorable tour!Written January 8, 2024
- ElisabethLeiderman0 contributionsThe best private Paris Chocolate/Sweet Tour.Our family LOVED our Sweet & Chocolate tour with Nathalie. The tour with Nathalie was excellent. She was wonderful and we give her the highest ratings. She was so kind, nice and professional. She took us to so many food stops (more than any other 2 hour food tour our family has been on in other countries). We had a large amount of food which was fabulous as we all were hungry. She paced us well and did not rush any food stop. The tour had many/varied types of French chocolate and desserts. We would not change anything and hope many more families can enjoy this tour with Nathalie!!Written January 3, 2024
- 535hestern0 contributionsGreat Experience with Laurine in ParisWe had booked multiple tours (Chocolate and pastry tour, Versailles, Louvre and a Tuk-Tuk ride that ended in Montmartre) with Meet the Locals during our stay in Paris. I was glad we had Laurine for all the tours. She was engaging with my kids and kept them interested in everything that we did. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history of Versailles and the art in the Louvre. The chocolate and pastry tour were so much fun, and we were able to taste different things. I highly recommend Laurine and Meet the Locals. It felt more like our friend was taking us through Paris then a regular tour guide!Written November 14, 2023
- Everyopportunity0 contributionsPerfect tours for families!We had the most incredible time with both Nathalie and Sebastien. They were just wonderful people to go on the tours with and they both engaged our teenage son Zach, who speaks fluent French and mixed up the French and English brilliantly for us as we don’t speak French. When we visit Paris again we will definitely be booking another food tour. We returned to the area where we had the tour to grab more of the delicious goodies we tasted. We also did the side car tour, to the absolute delight of everyone involved, and the tour of Versailles. If you are after unique and memorable experiences, you can’t do better than Meet the Locals.Written November 2, 2023
- D2879FPes0 contributionsJust Book ItWe did the Louvre, Sainte Chapelle, & Eiffel Tower Tour. Ms Cindy was great! Fabulous communication from a few days before all the way through the end. She was able to keep the attention of our 6yo and teens as well as us adults. We also had booked the Versailles tour, but it was cancelled last minute due to Versailles closing for safety reasons. Ms Cindy met us as planned, let us know the situation, but it officially closed before we made it out there. Without question we were totally refunded. I’m typically very hands on and will plan everything and buy all tickets on my own. I am so thankful we trusted Meet the Locals for these activities as I know we got more fun and less stress from going with them instead of relying on myself.Written November 2, 2023
- A3765AEbetsyc0 contributionsFamily FriendlyOur tour was absolutely FABULOUS! Nathalie was fantastic. The clue game kept my son (and all the rest of us) engaged and excited to explore the Montmartre area. She gave us such great information and was so kind. It was an absolutely wonderful experience!Written September 25, 2023
- Lori E0 contributionsBest London guide!We had the most amazing guide named Steven while we were in London! He took us around the city as well as the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey. He was sooooo knowledgeable about all things London and was so great with the kids too! 5 stars all the way!Written July 25, 2023

We did a two-week tour through Europe and this was my daughter’s favorite activity. Sean was an excellent guide; teaching all of us things we never knew about the museum and the beautiful works of art within. He focused a great deal of energy on our 10 year old daughter; enthusiastically connecting with her like few tour guides could.

We booked the Family treasure hunt private tour at the Louvre, timed entry. Our tour was suppose to start at 9am. Our family arrived on time at 8:45am. Our guide was a little late, few min. We waited to enter and then proceeded. Our tour didn’t actually start until 9:20am and it was suppose to be for 2hours. Our tour ended at 10:55am. I was expected actual two hours with our guide exploring the Louvre, and instead we got 1.5hr. She had an activity book for my two young ones but basically ended it went the 2hr window was over. Beware it’s not actually two hours, but they include the time it takes to enter. I also had a teen louvre tour booked for the same time. We were a large party and the tour guide on that one had to check in her battery for her bike and we all entered at the same time. She also finished about 11:15 am (only 2hours instead of 2.5hr). I think the guide should have been able to show more and explain more. And for what the company charges, I felt it was very expensive and I didn’t get what I paid for. Beware that your actual tour will be shorter than the time listed.

Two hours would never do justice to the Louvre of course - but we chose this to ensure our 13 and 11 year olds got a feel for the place whilst not missing out any of the most famous exhibits. Cindy was very personable and knowledgeable about the museum and its contents, as you would expect. She did an admirable job maintaining a level of enthusiasm and engagement with two children who had not slept enough the night before. For the purpose for which we purchased the tour, I would not hesitate to give it five stars. One point which could be made clearer is that you may still need to spend 20+minutes at the start clearing security as the entry tickets get no special treatment - which was a little disappointing given the price of the tour. Other than that minor niggle - five stars and highly recommended as a first taster of the Louvre.

We were so happy with our Meet the Locals reservation experience. It was very easy to set up the private family tour about a month before our trip. We communicated via email and paid ahead. On the days leading up to the tour, we received confirmation emails and then the day before, we received information on where to meet, along with a landmark outside of the museum. Marcel was our tour guide and she was right on time. She was lovely! She took us to the line (tickets were purchased on our behalf ahead of time) and we were inside in no time at all. We did a 9:30am tour and we liked being on the early side, less crowds. Marcela made the tour interesting for me and my husband and our 12 year old son. She was very knowledgeable! Highly recommend!

Our whole family enjoyed the Louvre Treasure Hunt with Marcela. The activity books and questions kept our young kids happily engaged, and the adults learned a lot too. We visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art a couple months later, and our kids were pulling knowledge and insights from the tour and applying them to what they were looking at in their hometown museum!

The six of us, four adults and two young children, recently visited Paris for six days. We wanted to visit both Musee d Orsay and the Louvre. We didn’t want to spend most of the time waiting in lines and we wanted a plan to see the good stuff. So we engaged Meet the Locals to guide us. A wise choice
At the Musee d Orsay Fernanda was our guide. As an employee there she got us through the lines and knew the place like the back of her hand. Her English was perfect, she was personable and knew her subject matter. She explained the great works with just the amount of background to keep us all engaged. An outstanding young lady!
At the Louvre we signed up for the Treasure Hunt to engage the grandkids. Our guide was Tatiana. She completely captivated our grandchildren. They were excited about the hunt, had fun and learned a lot about the art.
Two days well spent producing a lifetime of memories.

We had a wonderful time. Yaelle was so great with the kids and they were SO engaged. The Louvre was our first stop on our trip and it was so nice to learn as we went and see the most interesting things. The kids had a blast filling out the booklets. Someone even stopped us and asked where we got them!
The day of our Versailles trip we were all a bit tired but Yaelle did a great job engaging the kids. I loved relearning French history and seeing all the beautiful rooms. I loved hearing a different perspective on Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.
Yaelle gave us some great recommendations for pastry shops and other little things to do around Paris.
I would definitely recommend Meet the Locals to anyone traveling to Paris.

We did multiple tours in Paris and London over ten days with seven family members of three generations. It would not have been possible without the expert assistance starting with Dominique, who planned our visit and Sonia in Paris and Catherine in London, who were excellent guides. They engaged the teenagers and made sure the grandparent using a wheelchair was accommodated. Every tour was informative, well paced, and fun! They took such good care of our group, making adjustments as needed for traffic, kids' jet lag, etc. The kids' favorites were the Street Art and Baking Macarons workshops in Paris and the speedboat on the Thames in London. Everyone loved the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Tower of London and Hampton Court. There was just the right amount of history and fun facts to keep everyone going. Thank you to Meet the Locals for making this a trip of a lifetime for our family.

We had a fantastic tour with Nathalie at the Louvre.
Started out as a parenting fail, as we arrived at 1pm with 3 hungry and already tired kids (13, 11, 8). Nathalie enthusiasm was able to revive them and we had a fantastic tour.
The scavenger hunt was entertaining as well as educational and was at a level appropriate for both my 8 and 13yo. Nathalie was so patient with the kids and answered all of their many questions. She was also able to describe and explain things at a level they could understand but also kept my husband and I interested and informed.
The kids say it was one of their favorite experiences in Paris and we have already recommended it to others.

Written June 25, 2018
Best to go to the Meet the Locals in France website to price out your tour with the desired dates. You could also email the principal, Dominique, to ask her about tailored tours for you and your family. It isn’t cheap, but it is definitely worth it.
