We had booked a pilgrimage to Lourdes and Fatima for late February/early March 2026. We decided to come a few days early and see Paris before meeting our tour in Toulouse. Emy was so helpful and really understood what we wanted to see - we agreed on one half day with a driver and one half day on foot. Sadly all the planning went out the window when a blizzard hit New York and our 72 hours in Paris dwindled down to less than 24!! Emy was so good to us - she was able to change our two mornings into a 5 hour afternoon tour with a driver that allowed us to see what we wanted to see! Our tour was so personal!! Our driver got us so close to the sites which saved us precious time! We had a wonderful tour of Notre Dame, which we were so excited to see! Then up to Sacre Coeur - so beautiful! From there we were able to see the relics of St Genevieve at Saint Etienne du Mont - such amazing architecture! Then we finished at the Chapel of The Miraculous Medal - also on our “really hope to see” list that we feared we might miss! As we lingered there, well past our agreed on 5 hours, Emy then hailed us a taxi and made sure he would get us to our Seine River cruise - so kind!! We cannot recommend Emy enough! She really helped us start off our pilgrimage in the most wonderful way!!

Emy made the planning effortless and the trip truly unforgettable. My 75-year-old mother and I worked with Emy to plan a special mother–daughter trip to Paris over the Christmas holiday week in 2025, and we could not have had a better experience. From the very beginning, she guided us through thoughtful pre-planning, preparation, and consultations so we felt confident and excited heading into the trip. When we arrived in Paris after a 12-hour flight, the experience was nothing short of incredible. At 6:00 a.m., we were met by a greeter who escorted us past all the lines at Charles de Gaulle, carried our bags, whisked us through border control, and had us in a chauffeured car within 30 minutes. It was such a gift—especially after a long international flight. Emy helped us build a realistic, well-paced day-by-day itinerary that balanced sightseeing with breaks, downtime, and flexibility. She truly understands how Paris works and how to make the most of your time without feeling rushed. We also booked a custom tour with her, which ended up being our favorite part of the trip. Emy is incredibly personable and deeply knowledgeable about Paris. With a chauffeured car, she guided us through the city, shared fascinating stories and local insights, and tailored the experience entirely to what we wanted to see and do. She shopped with us, pointed out details only a local would notice, helped translate during in-depth conversations at boutiques, and read information boards we were curious about—all while remaining flexible and happy to adjust plans on the fly. Having Emy available via WhatsApp for questions and recommendations throughout the trip was also incredibly helpful and reassuring. If you’re looking for a thoughtfully curated Paris experience that maximizes your time while still allowing freedom and spontaneity, I can’t recommend Emy enough. She helped us create memories we will cherish forever.

I requested a personalized Christian art tour at the Louvre. Emy was the perfect tour guide for me because she’s a very down-to-earth person and not intimidating or snobby in the least. She was very comfortable to spend time with and because she is relaxing to be around, I continued to feel as though I was on vacation even while being with a stranger. I had fun with her and am glad she was the one taking me around such a large museum. I didn’t need to know anything about art for her to be a good teacher. She did only give me two hours of her time even though some of that time was spent standing in line or having to ask employees how to get around certain blocked entrances. I appreciated that she was efficient and kept on teaching me even while we were in line, etc. and I know she did some homework to prepare for her tour with me. I only wonder if she might consider extending how much time she spends with her clients to 2 ½ to 3 hours for the same price to get to see more art pieces. But overall, I would say Paris by Emy was one of my favorite experiences in Paris in 2026!

Emy is awesome! My extended family of 10, ages 4 to 78, visited Paris in November. We booked Emy for two tours. A walking tour of Notre Dame Cathedral and a driving tour of Paris attractions. Emy was super knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. The arrangements she made for the driving tour were 1st class. In addition to the tours, Emy provided input and ideas to help us build out our full itinerary. The cost of her services was very fair and reasonable for the personalized top-notch service we received. I would highly recommend Emy's services for anyone looking to book private customized tours of Paris.

Our time in Paris with Paris by Emy was truly exquisite! Emy went above and beyond to make our trip comfortable, educational, and unforgettable. We were traveling with my almost 80-year-old mom on her first visit to Paris, and Emy made her feel completely at ease — she even got her to try escargot (and she liked it!). The private, licensed guides Emy arranged for Versailles and the Louvre were outstanding — knowledgeable, engaging, and full of passion for their work. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, allowing us to simply enjoy and take it all in. Our custom tours of Paris landmarks and the food-focused afternoon in the Marais were absolute highlights. Emy’s insider knowledge, warmth, and humor made Paris come alive — she wasn’t just our guide; she truly became part of our experience. If you’re looking for a custom, one-of-a-kind Paris adventure crafted with care, expertise, and heart, look no further than Paris by Emy.

Emy made my trip to Paris smooth and stress-free from start to finish. She was incredibly responsive and really listened to what my family and I wanted to see. Every tour ticket was purchased in advance, which made each excursion effortless. She also gave excellent restaurant recommendations and helpful tips for early bookings. Our virtual meeting before the trip added a nice personal touch, and the car service she arranged was perfectly on time. Emy checked in often to make sure everything was going well. I highly recommend working with Emy for your Paris travel plans — it was my first time in Paris, and having someone who truly knows the city made all the difference. I would have been lost without her and look forward to planning my next trip with her again!

Emy was incredible! She made the tour so enjoyable with her wonderful knowledge about the areas we were seeing and injected excitement with each area. My wife and I learned so much from her about the city of Paris and the monuments we got to see. Highly recommend using Emy for your tour in Paris.

Paris by Emy made out trip absolutely magical. From the start, she took the time to understand what I wanted and created a personalized itinerary that went beyond the typical tourist spots. Every recommendation felt thoughtful and authentic — like discovering Paris through the eyes of a true local. Her attention to detail, warmth, and passion for the city made all the difference. I felt cared for every step of the way. If you want a custom, meaningful Paris experience, Paris by Emy is the way to go!!

Emy was terrific. She is very knowledgeable. She gave us a tour of the major basilicas in Paris and gave historic perspectives as well as catholic and christian faith perspectives. She herself attends the churches and serves as a great religious guided tour unlike many tours that are strictly factual and may include opinions that are not welcome. She is also very pleasant and a great guide overall. We loved our tour. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a Catholic / Christian faith based perspective. And even aside from a faith based perspective she is an excellent tour guide.

I found Emy online. She was responsive and I really benefited from a paid planning call with her a few months before my trip. I travel regularly to France for business but wanted to make the most of a few days as a tourist with my teenage daughter. Emy nailed it! She pointed me in the right direction for things we did on our own (Versailles and Catacombs) but most importantly we spent two days riding the metro, walking the streets of Paris, going to the perfect boutiques and patisserie's on the left and right banks. I'm most grateful for the way Emy inspired and engaged with my daughter. I highly recommend Paris by Emy. She is a great value, responsive, and just a fun person to spend your holiday with.

We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Emy, during our family trip to Paris. Our group of seven included three generations: my wife and me, our 9-year-old daughter, and both sets of grandparents. Emy was incredible with everyone. Over two mornings, we were driven around the city in two comfortable vans with professional drivers, and Emy showed us many of the highlights of Paris. She was especially sweet with our daughter, telling her stories and sharing the history of the city in a way that kept her engaged and excited. Emy was warm, knowledgeable, and made our time in Paris truly memorable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great guide in Paris.

Emy is a gem! We first asked her for hotel recommendations, which Emy found in an hour for the whole family during the high season and which we loved. From there we requested a package - highlights included a private magic show for our grandchildren, a private food tour, and a private Louvre tour! The TOP!!

Wow!! What a wonderful day we had with Emy! I was traveling with my two daughters and wanted to surprise them with a totally unique custom tour - Emy worked with me to create an experience where we visited all the iconic Paris sites, designer and boutique shopping areas and the settings of all the famous scenes from Sex in the City and Emily in Paris! It’s apparent that Emy is passionate about sharing Paris with her clients, is energetic and lovely, and speaks English with ease- I highly recommend Emy for any type of tour you are looking for- she also provided wonderful restaurant recommendations- Excellente!! 💕🇫🇷

Paris by Emy What a fabulous trip to Paris thanks to our planner and guide Emy Bonnes! This was our first time traveling to the city of lights and it couldn’t have gone any better. My wife and I have done a fair bit of traveling, especially now that our kids have grown. This was a special 5 day getaway for just us. We had a list of several “bucket list” items, but I left the planning and arrangements to the professional. It’s easy to be over ambitious with a trip, but Emy was able to schedule everything accordingly without feeling rushed or have too much downtime. From the moment we arrived, we were met with a very professional driver and comfortable vehicle (same one for our departure). We stayed at the Relais Christine (phenomenal location, rooms, and staff) which served as our base for the trip. Most of our activities were within 4-25min walk or a short taxi ride. One day we spent in Versailles, but it was a comfortable taxi ride and she provided a detailed guide on what to see and how to do it written by Emy. She also had links and instructions on our catacombs, and Louvre tour. But the highlight was a 5hr personal guided tour with Emy herself. We strolled through neighborhoods, shops, and Notre Dame all while getting her insight and recommendations. She was both knowledgeable and professional, but it was like talking with a friend as we roamed the streets of Paris. A trip can be enjoyable or stressful depending on your circumstances. For us, it was wonderful for many reasons. First, we started with Emy, who arranged all of our connections to and from the airport, purchased our tickets to the cabaret show, dinner cruise on the Seine, Louvre, Eiffel Tower, and made dinner reservations, and organized our entire itinerary. Everything went smoothly. But I will say part of it is up to the traveler. We’re not the loud, demanding, Americans that are looking to be entertained. We came no kids, an open opinion of the French people, and a willingness to learn and experience the city. For us it was a success! I highly recommend Paris by Emy and look forward to coming back and using her services again.

Our group of six took the Eurostar from London for a private tour with Paris by Emy, and it was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, everything was well-organized, seamless, and tailored perfectly to our group. We took the EuroStar from London to Paris and Emy and our driver was right there waiting for us. Emy crafted an incredible itinerary, allowing us to experience some of Paris' most iconic landmarks: ✅ Montmartre & Sacré-Cœur Basilica ✅ Champs-Élysées & Arc de Triomphe ✅ Trocadéro for breathtaking Eiffel Tower views ✅ Eiffel Tower (up close!) ✅ Latin Quarter & the Panthéon ✅ Louvre Pyramid ✅ Notre-Dame Cathedral Our driver knew Paris inside out and the clean and prepared vehicle was never far away when we made stops. His kindness and consideration was evident with every turn, every accommodation. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the tour feel personal rather than rushed. Every stop was thoughtfully planned, with plenty of time for photos, exploration, and soaking in the beauty of Paris. If you're looking for a private, customized Parisian experience, Paris by Emy is the way to go. Highly recommended!

Emy was incredible! She planned a fantastic trip for me and my family. We had my mom, who is older, and my 8 year old son, but that was no challenge for Emy! She was able to curate a trip that was truly for everyone. We all were able to do something that they loved and we all learned along the way. Emy was such a lovely human too and we enjoyed our time with her all over the Paris streets. Some of our favorite things are pictured below. We did a cooking class and we had a private tour of the flea markets. Emy also took us to some amazing churches that we would never have known to visit. If you’re smart, you’ll use Emy for your next trip to Paris.

As a tour operator to France and Belgium, I used Emy for a half day Catholic oriented walking tour of Montmartre. We decided on Sunday morning when she could firstly take my clients to Mass before showing them the sites of Montmartre. My clients were delighted and very, very happy with Emy. I will definitely use Emy again whenever the opportunity arises.

EMY was the most amazing trip planner ever! It was like planning a trip with a girlfriend who knows you really well and the city really well. We spent half a day together seeing the sites and giggling, and all of the tours that she arranged for us, came off seamlessly. She recommended a guide for the Paris flea market who in two hours helped me spend a ridiculous amount of money… Which I thoroughly enjoyed! The private boat tour was wonderful. The restaurant recommendations were on point. Definitely have her arrange for a private greeter at the airport, we were whisked through customs like rock stars. From start to finish she did an amazing job if I could give her more than 5 stars I would!

On a recent 3 day trip to Paris a small group of friends and I engaged Paris by Emy for private tours of the city . A truly great choice! The first day was a general tour of the city with stops at all the top tourist spots. What made it particularly special was the addition of a number of “hidden gems” that only a Parisian would know. Emy’s bubbly personality and kindness made the whole experience a joy! Her flawless English and extensive knowledge of the city surely added to the experience too. The next day was spent at Versailles with an extremely knowledgeable guide who not only informed us about the palace but also explained the political and historical aspects of the place and time. The third day was a tour of a few of the neighborhoods of Paris. Again adding stops at places one would never see on a regular tour. Totally charming! So if you want a personalized experience with a lovely knowledgeable guide who is happy to adapt your experience to your interests you can’t go wrong in choosing Paris by Emy!

Our group of 5 friends from Fort Lauderdale organized a riverboat cruise in southern France followed by a 3-day stay in Paris. Since many of us had never been to Paris, we wanted to see and experience as much of the city as possible in our 3 short days there. We hired “Paris by Emy” as the most efficient way to do this as a group. She was able to adjust our tour to show us exactly what we wanted to see and make adjustments on the fly. Emy was outstanding. She gave us a half-day driving tour on day 1 and a half-day walking tour of the Les Halles, Pompidou and Marais areas on day 3. Day 2 was spent at Versailles. Besides the tours, Emy recommended two charming Parisian Bistros for dinner and made the reservations for us. She also secured tickets to a musical review one evening, booked us a private half-day tour of Versailles (with an excellent historian as a tour guide), and topped off our visit by booking us a spectacular evening dinner cruise on the Seine River on an exceptionally beautiful boat. One unexpected side benefit from the trip is we found out that Emy spent 4 years studying at college in Cincinnati. Four out of the 5 of us lived in Cincinnati at the same time she was studying there. So there were lots of Cincinnati memories for us to share. If you want a fun, personalized, high-quality, and efficient tour of Paris, then “Paris by Emy” is the way to go. Thank you Emy.

Emy’s curated tours are magnificent! We highly recommend her if you are visiting Paris. My wife and I spent two days with her and a private driver (the incomparable Ramsey)! We had a blast and saw and learned more than we would have in a month! Emy is funny, knowledgeable and adapts to your pace. Her customer service and attention to detail are simply amazing. She even followed up after the tour with some recommendations for our remaining vacation days. She does it all, sit back and relax. Merci Emy!

My wife and I spent a wonderful day with Emy when she took us, via limo, to Normandy to spend the day at the D-Day Beaches. As we started our trip, Emy provided us with the full day itinerary along with the histories for the areas we were visiting. Emy was extremely knowledgeable and she provided us with a first class tour. It has always been a dream of ours to visit Normandy because both of my mother and father served in the Navy during WWII and Joyce’s father served in the Army in the South Pacific and Philippines. I am also an history teacher and have taught about WWII for many years. Emy took all this into consideration long before the tour and she went out of her way to find facts that she shared with us about the D-Day landings. We would highly recommend Paris by Emy as part of your travel plans if you are ever in Paris.

I had the pleasure of hiring Emy from Paris by Emy as my personal tour guide during a one-day trip to Paris, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. If you're looking for an unforgettable experience in Paris, Emy is the guide you need.From the moment we met, Emy's friendly and approachable demeanor made us feel at ease. She speaks both English and French fluently, which made our interactions seamless. But what truly sets Emy apart is her deep knowledge of Parisian history and culture, which she shared with us in an engaging and insightful way. She took the time to ask what was important to us, and she tailored the tour to our interests with remarkable flexibility.One of the highlights of our trip was Emy's ability to make my son feel special. He had a particular wish to capture photos at the Eiffel Tower with the Olympic rings, and Emy went above and beyond to make this happen. Her attention to detail and genuine care for making our experience unique was evident throughout the day.Hiring a personal tour guide like Emy is an investment in your travel experience. If you're willing to invest, I highly recommend her services. Not only did she make our day in Paris special, but she also arranged a private driver who took us around the city with ease. Every moment was well-organized and enjoyable.I have no regrets about hiring Emy—her exceptional service and warm personality made our Paris adventure one to remember. If you're considering a tour guide, look no further than Paris by Emy. A special thanks to ChatGPT for recommending her services to me. It was the best decision we made for our trip! Best time ever!

Nous avons rencontré Emy pour la première fois à Paris pendant les JO and nous sommes ravis de la recommender à toute personnes intéressé pour des visites guidées. Nous l’avions contacté environ deux mois à l’avance pour discuter de l’itinéraire car nous ne voulions pas visiter de musées mais plutôt découvrir l’histoire de Paris (Napoléon Bonaparte, etc…) Elle nous a régalé par ses connaissances sur tous les coins les plus sympas de Paris, sur l’histoire de Paris (du 5eme au 20eme siècle). Elle vient toujours préparée (doc, images, etc….) et est honnête quand elle ne sait pas la réponse. On la sent passionnée et toujours à l’écoute. Elle nous a recommandée les cafes et autre restaurants lee plus emblématiques de Paris. Elle nous à même reservé des tables pour après la visite! Bref, idéal pour ce type de visite. Hautement recommendée!

EMY PROVIDED THE BEST PARISIAN GUIDE EXPERIENCE~EVER!!!! My goodness, where to begin. From the moment we met Emelyne we knew we were in for a treat! She knows every nook and cranny of Paris and she will research everything you require for a bespoke tailored experience of Paris. Emy met us on a Sunday afternoon at the Gare de l'Est train station with a van and private driver for our family, including my 93 year wheelchair bound father. She had a wheelchair assistant with her as we got off the train and helped us into the van ride to our first destination, Notre Dame de la Croix, for their 6 pm Mass. We had made arrangements with Emelyne months in advance to attend a Mass there so we could also sign the Baptismal Records. It was a historic event for our family, seven years in the making. It would not have happened without Emelyne Bonnes. Emy worked for seven years to change the hearts and minds of those in charge of the sacraments for the Church of Paris to allow me to be her Godmother. So I am a bit biased...:) We also visited all the best shopping neighborhoods, ate at Le Sergent Recruteur, a Michelin one star restaurant in the I'lse de St. Louis and ate our way through Paris, all including my father. It was the best Paris trip~! Thank you dear Emy. Linds xo

We had a wonderful time traveling Paris along with Emy. Emy helped organize our week long trip, filled with food, site seeing, and cooking class recommendations. We are a family of 4 - 2 kids aged 4 & 6 came with us so it was critical to plan and select activities with this in mind. From when we landed to departed Emy was supportive throughout the whole process, readily available, and knowledgeable about our needs. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for support in planning and assistance to all things Paris and France! Thank you Emy for all the planning! It was wonderful to get to know you and will definitely reach out again the next time we are in Paris! Merci!

In November we travelled to Paris to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We contacted Emy before we left on our trip and from the moment we reached out she provided us with excellent recommendations for hotel accommodations, restaurant reservations, and provided us with a variety of tour itineraries. The entire tour experience we had in Paris with Emy was exceptional. Our time exploring the beautiful city was truly enhanced by her knowledge, enthusiasm, and friendly demeanor. During our visit to Montmartre, Emy skillfully guided us through the charming streets, providing insightful historical and cultural information about the area. Her passion for the city and its rich history was evident, and it greatly enriched our understanding and enjoyment of the tour. The night tour of St. Germain was another highlight of our trip. Emy effortlessly navigated the enchanting streets, creating a magical and memorable experience. Her ability to weave stories and historical anecdotes into the tour made it not only informative but also engaging and entertaining. What truly stood out was Emy's exceptional friendliness and personable approach. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and catered to all of our requests and interests. Touring Paris with Emy felt like we were traveling with a friend. Her warm and approachable nature added a personal touch to the tour, making it a standout experience for us. We wholeheartedly recommend Paris by Emy to anyone seeking an excellent and memorable tour experience in Paris.

A tour with Paris By Emy was the highlight of my trip to Paris - she is truly an angel. She cares so much about her clients and her work and was so happy to make a custom trip and accommodate us Americans in any way with no problem! Plus she spoke incredible English which was so helpful for us visiting from the states. Not only did she show us wonderful sights and tell us about the history of major Parisian monuments, she took us to local neighborhoods and bakeries to get a feel of living in the city. I cannot say enough incredible things about EMY, she is such a sweet and sincere person who I absolutely will be contacting next time I am in Paris - I feel like I made a new friend after using her service. THANK YOU EMY!!

My wife and I came to Paris to celebrate our 9th anniversary. Leading up to the trip, I was searching for ways to enhance the trip and make it special - especially since neither of us had been to Paris before. I found Emy via a google search and decided to reach out. She was very responsive and helpful and planned a wonderful visit that was customized to our needs and likes. She has SO many contacts to enhance your trip: want to go shopping at a luxury boutique and avoid a line? Emy knows someone for that. Want dinner at a nice restaurant in town and don’t know where to go? Emy has someone for that. Want to see all the sights of Paris in a day? She can set you up with a personal driver AND join you for as your guide. We HIGHLY recommend and I look forward to visiting with her again - and maybe even having her come visit us in the states! Book her - you won’t regret it. You’ll enjoy every minute!

My wife Barbra and I want to express our sincere gratitude to Emy for an outstanding experience while on our short stay in Paris. She is very knowledgeable of the area and most importantly went out of her way to take us to places that we were most interested in seeing as well as providing suggestions to enhance our experience. Emy arranged for us to have lunch at a small, typical French restaurant in a beautiful park-like setting away from the busy city streets. She is a wonderful person to be with and we highly recommend her services.

Emy was delightful! The perfect tour guide and host to a city she lives in and loves! We were going to be in Paris for a river cruise and based on past experiences did not want to use the cruise company’s excursions to see Paris. I contacted Emy and heard back almost immediately. She was so excited to help us and so willing to get us the perfect experience that she not only communicated often with emails but made several personal phone calls to us during the planning stages. I told her the days we would be in Paris, both in the hotel and on the ship. My husband and I then presented her with a very very long wish list. And Emy made it happen! She knows the language, the people, the city…she’s the perfect Parisian hostess! Emy gave us the option of having a personal driver. We decided that it would be worth the extra cost and it was the right decision. Emy coordinated everything with the driver and it allowed us to see and do more with the time it saved. Emy is reasonably priced, prompt, knowledgeable, organized, pleasant and just really fun! We had a blast seeing Paris with Emy as she shared her city with us! We highly recommend PARIS BY EMY!

The tour was absolutely fantastic! Emy was so friendly and welcoming. It made the tour feel like a friend gathering rather than a structured tour. All of the places were spot on with my desired destinations and some! I highly recommend Emy to anyone wanting to get an insider tour with a kind local. When I go back to Paris, I will definitely be touring with Emy again!! Thanks Emy!

I had an Amazing Emily in Paris tour with Emy!! We were taken to many places that were filmed in the TV show and Emy was very knowledgeable about the surrounding area as well! I would recommend this to anyone who has seen the show or just wants to see Paris it was very informative about the show and Paris in general!

Emy was wonderful! She catered our trip to include everything we wanted to see. I was with my niece and nephew and we did an Emily in Paris tour. The tour exceeded all my expectations and Emy made us feel safe and comfortable in a foreign city. I can’t wait to go back and use her again. I highly recommend Emy. She made a fabulous trip even better.

If anyone needs a bit of help navigating Paris, please look up Paris by Emy and you will not be disappointed. You be taken care of by a thoughtful, well-versed english speaking Parisian that will go out of her way to show you her beautiful city. Emy actually interviewed us over the phone prior to our trip & then she developed a custom itinerary for our stay in Paris based on our interests. We were able to do so much more than what we could want. Thank you Emy!

Emy did a fantastic job of helping me organize and plan a “girl’s trip” to to Paris for my daughters, sister and I to enjoy. The plan for our trip that she made worked beautifully and we were able to see and experience so many things while we were in Paris. She got all the tickets for us to the places we wanted to visit and all the tickets worked out smoothly throughout our time in Paris. We LOVED Emy’s guided walking tours of the city. She was very knowledgeable and showed us so many cool places. She was very kind and very fun to get to know during our tours. We had an amazing time and I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting help planning a trip to Paris.

Emy helped make our Paris experience great. This was a three generation trip of grandma, aunt and 3 teenage girls. She made suggestions for our itinerary from tours, restaurants, landmarks, transportation and special activities Her services includes making bookings and reservations. Our day with her in Montmartre was especially wonderful and enjoyed by all of us. We all wanted to spend more time with her. She was easily available throughout the trip by phone, message or email to make suggestions or a booking.She researched alternative activities in Versailles when the Palace closed at the last minute before opening due to the strike. Emy made planning and enjoying Paris much less stressful by doing the work for me. I highly recommend Emy for planning your trip to Paris. She plans based on your needs and interests.

What can I say, Emy was the best! She booked some great experiences for us and when some fell through due to protests she went out of her way to send us a number of alternatives! And even called ahead to the place to say we were coming. We had extra special service due to this!! On our walking tour we did with her it was like being out with close girlfriends! We had a blast! If ever back in Paris I will be calling her again. You cannot go wrong with Emy!!

The private tour organized by Emelyne was an amazing experience for us and our friends, all for the first time in Paris.She showed us places we certainly could not have seen without her recommendation. It was a very pleasant trip and we will definitely contact her on our next visit to Paris.

We had the best experience with Emy! She far exceeded any expectations I had. From the moment I booked to the time she dropped us back at our hotel, the experience was wonderful. After I booked, she called me and we figured out our plans. She was at the hotel exactly as promised the day of our tour. She went above and beyond making sure we saw everything possible in four hours. Even when we slowed down or saw something else we wanted to do, she would go with the flow. I learned more about Paris in four hours than I could have hoped. I highly recommend Emy to give you a glimpse of the beautiful city she loves!

Emy Bonne goes out of her way to please her clients. My wife and I asked for a food and market tour and a tour of Montmartre. Emy designed the food and market tour in the Marais neighborhood, and she featured the finest boulangeries, fromageries, chocolate shops, patisseries in the world, and other things of interest to foodies. Our tour of Montmartre was equally well researched and designed. Emy's knowledge of French culture and history added to the relevance of the tour. We began the tour with a walk through the Basilica of Sacre Coeur de Montmartre and ended the tour at the bottom of the hill with a view of Moulin Rouge. Our tours with Emy were a portion of two days, but she was available the entire seven days we were in Paris for consultation and advice. We highly recommend anyone visiting Paris whether it is a first visit or a multiple visit to use Emy's services. She is extremely knowledgeable, puts her clients first, and most of all, has the heart of an angel and wonderful to be around. John Griffing, Gulf Breeze, FL (USA).

My family was visiting Paris for just a few days and I wanted a tour guide to help make the most of a short amount of time, and I came across Emy's website. Her page covered so many different places, ideas, and themes, I knew she was an expert. We set up a time to speak and were able to come to a custom tour route with chauffeur around Paris, which included everything the family agreed was a "must see/do". A few members of my group were age 70+, and the visit was during the hottest days of this summer, and Emy kept everyone engaged and in good spirits. Everyone really hit it off, and Emy really made that brutally hot day a treat for all. Thanks Emy!

My husband and I have been very fortunate to have taken some amazing vacations; we’ve visited a majority of the US states and most of the continents. We decided to spend my 50th birthday in Paris. I get intimidated when traveling to countries where I don’t speak the language and had never used a local guide before (although for some trips, we should have). After staring blankly at each other about what to do, we searched for a guide and found Emy. After a few email exchanges, I could see how helpful she would be and how authentic she is. We had visited Paris before and wanted to do something beyond the expected tourist offering, Eiffel Tower, Louvre, etc. Emy is so personable and truly took the time to understand who we are. She completely removed the guess-work. She customized our trip which included some time with her where we explored the different neighborhoods and experienced a taste of local life (I enjoy my chocolate). Emy also set the itinerary for the time we spent on our own which including lunch/dinner reservations, tickets to venues, etc. She suggested something for my birthday that I would never think to do: a dinner cruise on the Seine with a Michelin star chef. Emy helped make our trip to Paris one of the most memorable and enjoyable trips I’ve taken. We truly appreciated how Emy shared her city with us and helped us appreciate how much more we want to do there. We are looking forward to working with Emy on our next trip to Paris 😊

Without a doubt Paris by Emy is an amazing tour guide that my children and I experienced having just a short time in Paris. Not only did Emy catered our Itinerary to what we wanted to see and do, but she was also flexible to our needs in such short notice because of our time in Paris. Emy did not just showed us the main parts of Paris but also some hidden parts around the city and a story like the La Bonne Franquette! Best guide ever! Very knowledge and most of all a very warm personality that my 18yr old teenager daughter and 11yr old son admired. Many, many thanks Emy and I highly recommend Paris By Emy to everyone!!

I visited Paris for the first time in April. EMY spent the entire first day with us shopping, walking us through the city, visiting museums, getting us comfortable with various transportation… all while sharing her knowledge and local history. EMY created a fantastic personal itinerary for our stay with our interests in mind. Everything was perfectly organized and spaced so we got the most of our stay and saw everything on our list. She’s a gem and her spirit is so fun and kind. She made our vacation everything it was with her knowledge and attention to detail. 5 star Experience

Emy was the reason our trip was so wonderful. My boyfriend and I have never been to Europe and were a bit nervous to travel. We met Emy on our first day with a beautiful tour and she put our minds at ease. She helped us with tickets to the sites, exceptional restaurant bookings, helped us with maps and suggestions and tips and was there to answer any questions. We could not have been happier with her services and she is a lovely and interesting person to talk with. We highly recommend engaging Paris by Emy! Kelly, United States

My aunt and I visited Paris for the first time in August. Emy hands down made the entire experience! She's such a warm, bubbly, and humble person! It's easy to say we are grateful for the experiences we had with her. She made our entire vacation a dream. I am extremely glad my aunt and I were able to meet such an accommodating trip planner, who we now call our friend! Merci Emy!

Recently, my wife and I made an 8 day sightseeing trip to Paris and wanted to utilize a trip planner to help negotiate our way to sights around Paris in what was our first trip to this beautiful and historic city. It was our best decision of our stay to enlist the services of Paris by Emy. We immediately felt an immediate connection to Emy as we communicated via email prior to arriving. After arriving Emy met us at our hotel and promptly gave us an overview of the highlights of Paris. We used her services for parts or entirely for 3 days. Emy provided us with suggestions for unusual and historic cafes, unusual local Paris attraction seldom visited by tourists and, of course, all the major attractions with her own thoughts , insights and fun facts into those attraction. One of the most beneficial things Emy provided us with is how to use Paris's version of the subway (Metro) system which proved quite valuable to us. Emy made it clear to us that had we contacted her earlier she could be most helpful in planning daily our entire trip including suggestions on hotels and food. This I do know....Emy loves Paris and she loves people and couldn't be more thoughtful. By the end of our trip we were sad and felt like we were saying goodbye an old friend. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Emy and her services. We will miss her. .

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Paris in the summer, it truly was one of the best holidays we have ever had. We drove to France from the UK, something we hadn't done before as we usually fly to places, but our destination (an hour outside of Paris) was very easy to get to. We were a family of three; me, my wife, and our six year old daughter. I had personally never been to Paris, so wanted to contact someone professional who could arrange all the site tours for us. PARIS BY EMY was the one stop shop for everything we wanted to see. Emy met up with us at the train station when we arrived, was very friendly and kind, and communicated effectively so we got to experience all the charms of Paris. My daughter was keen to go to Disneyland obviously, and she had a blast, but it was a separate trip couple of days before as it took the whole day. From the beginning, we felt Emy's customer service was exemplary, and personally I felt the cost of everything we paid for site tours was rather economical. She really was the best tour guide ever. She was very knowledgeable about the city, and managed to show us everything we wanted all in one day, stopping by picture-perfect spots. We really loved the boat cruise too. I can't recommend PARIS BY EMY enough, we sure will be back. Prateek & Joanna Adhikari Sheffield, UK

Paris has been my #1 bucket list item for as long as I can remember. Although I normally travel to foreign countries with a large group, I decided for Christmas 2018 that I would travel to my dream destination with just my husband and my son. Once I started planning the trip; however, I realized that I would not feel comfortable venturing so far away from the United States, with just the three of us touring Paris on our own. As I began to search for a tour guide, I knew all of the things that I wanted to do while there that would make this trip designed perfectly to meet all MY needs (and, because I also enjoy shopping; I didn’t want to be stuck with a traditional sightseeing tour). From my very first contact with Emy, I was absolutely sure that she was the ideal person to provide the services we required. I had told her exactly what our desires were for the visit, then she provided us with a detailed itinerary which outlined not only how we would be spending our time while there; but also adding in many very helpful tips and informative facts that we were able to benefit from during the duration of our stay. Emy absolutely LOVES the career that she has chosen, knows so much about this wonderful city, and there was an immediate connection as soon we met. She made every effort to do everything she could to insure a successful, safe and memorable time for each of us. So many positive words come to mind in describing her: enthusiastic, kind-hearted, patient, understanding, trustworthy, dependable, and so much more! She even made herself accessible by offering her support if we were to run into any problems as we left Paris to journey further in Europe. Her services went far beyond what I had anticipated, or what was required. This family vacation was my absolute BEST ever, because we were fortunate to locate Emy as our private tour guide; and it is without any reservations that I highly recommend her to meet all of your travel needs too.
