Create a custom Paris perfume near Île Saint-Louis in 2 hours, blend 2 to 3 scents, and take home a carry-on 50 ml bottle.
“My daughter (14) and I (51) really enjoyed the session. The instructor was very informative, sharing interesting history while teaching us how to identify individual scents and understand why scent blends would be used when making our own perfumes. We both love the custom scents we created. I highly recommend this workshop!”
2-hour La Rochelle sunset sail on a 16-meter catamaran, wind-only sailing, sea views, city lights. Water included, bring snacks.
“pretty nice Guys, Professional and we Had a really welcoming good time. real sailing time without engines, would do again and thinking since that, how to get a own catamaran, real freedom. Not too crowded.”
A 2-hour Segway intro to Strasbourg, gliding past La Petite France, Neustadt, and EU viewpoints with an English guide.
“First time and absolutely loved it. Great way to see a lot of Strasbourg & have fun doing it! The team really helped me get confident & was very patient.”
A 2-hour private Louvre tour for families, with skip-the-ticket-line entry, a kids guide, and smart stops beyond the Mona Lisa.
“We had a great tour guide for our 2 hour "family" tour of the Louvre. There was a ton of traffic so we were running late but I was able to use the chat within the Get Your Guide app and someone was able to contact the local guide to let him know that we were on the way. Our guide led us to all of the major pieces (Venus de Milo, Hermaphrodite, Mona Lisa, Liberte, etc.) while providing interesting facts in a pretty concise way. He wasn't overly chatty but was happy to answer our questions. It was pretty crowded (and hot, not much air conditioning) so we kind…”
Ride Lyon in two hours on an electric bike with a local guide, cruising the Rhône, Bellecour, and Tête d’Or Park for great value.
“It was great to see a large amount of the city by bike! We were only in Lyon a short time so we got to see things we wouldn’t have otherwise had the time to make it to. Our tour guide, Eric, was great and knew a lot about the history of the city. He told us about the secret passage ways in the town too.”
A 2-hour Segway tour in Colmar with safety training, historic neighborhoods, riverside riding, and optional Martin Jund tasting.
“we loved our Segway tour. We had done one in a previous city and this was just as good. our guide was knowledgeable and funny. He made us feel safe and well looked after on the bisy streets of the old town. we saw all the major sights, including some that we definitely would have missed had we been on our own. using the Segway gets you round a lot more of the city and you can see more than on a similar length walking tour.”
Cruise Bordeaux’s UNESCO waterfront for a 3-course French dinner, city lights, and optional wine tasting on a smooth 2-hour ride.
“stunning views, good wine and interesting local cuisine, the last two nicely presented and explained by the waiter/guide. worth making, especially on a very hot evening like we had”
Two-hour Calvi sunset cruise to Revellata with a swim at Alga Beach, live history guide, and a Corsican aperitif included.
“Theo was a perfect guide and pilot. He made us share a moment out of time and we thank him. Isabelle and José”

“Lucy hat uns durch Montmartre geführt und uns tolle Ecken des Stadtviertels gezeigt. Spannende Erzählungen. Sehr empfehlenswert.”
2-hour e-bike tour of Lyon with a local guide, cruising Old Lyon, Saône and Rhône rivers, and Parc de la Tête d’Or in English.
“We absolutely loved Lyon! The bike tour was perfect. Don’t sleep on that gorgeous park. Our tour guide was Nate and he was great. He handled all of us wonderfully and was so patient! Go see it!”
A 2-hour Paris wine tasting with Nicolas at a stylish art deco shop: 7 French wines, 7 cheeses, baguette, and terroir lessons in English.
“Nico is so welcoming and knowledgeable - we left feeling like we had learnt a lot without realising as it had been so fun! The cheese and wine portions are beyond generous, which given the quality of the products he offers is a true testament to giving guests an unforgettable experience even over profit. The location is super cool (good area, comfortable, well decorated) and it’s such a carefully thought through and tailored experience unlike some other wine tastings I have been to. Nico if you are ever in Lisbon let us know, we really enjoyed getting to know more about wine and you across the tasting. Anyone considering booking…”
Electric pedicab tour of Lyon with a local guide, breezy views of Vieux Lyon and Presqu'île, silk history, and key landmarks.
“Liked the information our guide, Michael, shared with us about the city and the silk trade. Also showing us the Resistance short cuts. The weather, it was very cold, try and fix that and it would have been perfect.”
Private 2CV tour through Paris off the beaten track, with Marais highlights and Arènes de Lutèce in 2 hours for $129.
“Vivienne was a delightful guide. He drove us off the beaten path all through south Paris as we have seen the regular tourist sites. It was very educational and enjoyable. 2 hrs went so fast. He was very adept at driving w/a stick shift. He was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. I would definitely advise this trip for something fun and different. P.S. the champagne was a great addition!”
Hop through Paris highlights in a vintage Citroen 2CV with hotel pickup, French classic music, and a private guide. Up to 3 people.
“We had an amazing tour of Paris yesterday…the Citroen 2CV was an excellent way of seeing all the main sights that we wanted to see & our tour guide Baptiste was fun & knowledgeable telling us about all the sights. We went down narrow streets that most vehicles could not pass through & had great photo stops…We thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone 😊”
