Guided tour of Montmartre for Australian students learning French

Elisa was the perfect guide for our school group. She offered an interesting and well-paced visit that kept the interest of the students and allowed them to understand her easily in French. I would recommend Elisa without hesitation. Merci !

Covered galleries tour with Elisa Jehanno

We did the covered galleries tour with Elisa - and we absolutely loved it! Elisa was very well versed in the history - and made the tour fun and interesting. We could have easily spent all day with her. Highly recommend!

Elise was wonderful! She gave us a private tour of the Louvre. She took us exactly where we needed to go to see the most famous pieces. She also included the history of the Louvre and described how it was set up. I could not have imagined trying to navigate the Louvre without her as a guide.

Fun and fine tuned tours of Paris.

Elisa is an excellent guide. She's very engaging and energetic. The details she knew made the sites even more interesting. She was very kind and accommodating in finding elevators when I needed one due to an old knee injury. She's very professional and yet friendly. We enjoyed our tours very much.

 

Private walking tour of Ile de la Cite, Sainte-Chapelle and the Conciergerie

Our three hour walking tour with Elisa was absolutely excellent and a genuinely “5 star” experience. Elisa is an extremely knowledgeable, personable and warm. She provided us with a wealth of interesting historical insights about everything we saw, and also provided recent contemporary information, bringing the sites to life. The three hours passed in a blink of an eye. It was a highlight of our trip and we have kept Elisa’s details, as we would seek her out for when we return to Paris in the future. Finally her English was very good so we understood every word too - important because we unfortunately don’t speak a word of French.

This tour was absolutely fantastic. Elisa was wonderful! She was truly delightful and was an expert with so much knowledge! We were on a small private tour for five hours and she kept us engaged the entire time with fascinating stories. She is also extremely professional. I would highly recommend! When we come back to France, we will definitely take another tour with Elisa.

Great Morning at the Museun Thanks to Elisa!

We loved our tour of the Musee d'Orsay with Elisa! She was such a delight and so knowledgable of everything we saw at the museum. She guided us through the galleries efficiently, showing us all of the best highlights and providing in-depth commentary on each piece we viewed. I learned so much about the history of the museum itself, as well as all of the impressionists (and pre-impressionists)...and all of their greatest hits displayed in the museum. Her knowledge on art history and art composition is extensive and impressive. We definitely left the tour feeling enlightened! Elisa is very friendly and organized and made our morning at the museum fun and educational. I'd also like to add that her English is absilutely perfect, so she was easy to understand and to communicate with during the tour. Thank you, Elisa!

A private tour of the Louvre

Elisa was our tour guide for a private tour of the Louvre and did a phenomenal job. Elisa began our tour by giving an overview of the museum's layout and then provided us with a detailed history of the Louvre buildings. Our guide ensured we saw the exhibits on our bucket list and provided detailed insights into each exhibit's creator and history.

The headphones provided and her excellent command of English gave us a crystal-clear ability to hear and understand her even in a crowded room. We came away from our time with Elisa at the Louvre feeling completely satisfied with our visit. This was a five-star experience, thanks to Elisa. I highly recommend letting Elisa guide you, and you won't be disappointed.

Giverny and Paris private tours

We had an amazing two days with Elisa in Giverny and Paris. She is incredibly knowledgeable, speaks impeccable English, is kind, thoughtful, efficient and timely. We’ve used a lot of guides across many trips and she is right at the top. We wish we could have spent more time with her at the Louvre and Musee d’Orsay given her amazing fund of art knowledge. She was very flexible and responsive to our priorities…this is not a cookie cutter tour. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Art Guide!

Elisa was a wonderful guide for our tours of the Louvre and Musée d’Orsay. She has outstanding knowledge of art and art history, but was able to successfully balance her knowledge and to keep things moving and prevent us from getting “museum fatigue” as can happen in these very large art museums. She was very prompt, friendly, and helpful. It was really nice to be able to bypass a number of lines with her and to to have professional help in seeing the major highlights of the museums and still have time to explore on our own once the tour was complete. Elisa provided excellent guidance on how to purchase tickets and the entire process was very easy and convenient.

Elisa arrived in good time and gave an overview of the history of Versailles before the tour of the Palace. She was extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions without hesitation. Due to the length of the tour a short drinks break would have been appreciated. However without doubt I highly recommend Elisa as a tour guide.

Thankyou Elisa for a fabulous tour of the Opera House. You made the building come alive with your knowledge and enthusiasm.

25th Anniversary Virtual Tour of Paris

Elisa made our 25th wedding anniversary truly special. Her virtual tour was the highlight of our celebration. We had always wanted to visit Paris for our anniversary but due to several reasons, we were unable to travel. When the tour started, I thought to myself that a virtual tour was not going to be any different than me doing a Google Maps search. But I was wrong! Elisa's knowledge and preparation made me feel as if I really was in Paris.
Elisa took us through both Le Louvre and the Musee d'Orsay. We booked tours over two days and on each tour, Elisa relayed interesting facts, told stories, and inspired us to plan a future trip. She provided us with tips as to which museum had which exhibits, which was less crowded during certain times, how to tackle such a large collection, and provided us with the highlights on our virtual tour.

We will definitely seek her out for another tour in person when the time comes. Thank you, Elisa! We highly recommend her for an informative and fulfilling tour!

Louvre museum

Elisa provided a spectacular tour of the Louvre for our group of 10 in October 2021. It was on the first day our 3 week visit to northern France and I can't think of a better way to have started the vacation. Her tour was of both the museum's history and the art work that was as comprehensive as I imagined a 3.5 hour tour could be of the Louvre. She even managed to point out the significance of one art piece not on the tour but requested by one of us. Elisa's exceptional work started before our trip as she helped with questions regarding covid that we couldn't find answers to from our websites or our travel agent. I rank Elisa's tour at the top of a highlight filled 3 weeks.

This was a two hour tour of the Musée d'Orsay and it flew by. Elisa, was so entertaining and well informed.

I would thoroughly recommend her as your guide.

Louvre museum

My fiancé and I visited Paris & booked a private tour of the Louvre with Elisa. This visit was so much more memorable than my first time! The way Elisa explains art, giving context, is amazing- she tailors the tour to your level of understanding/experience and to what you wish to see, and keeps an amazing pace while she does so. 2.5 hours in the Louvre felt like 1 (this is a good thing!). We saw just the right amount of pieces that we gained a good understanding of the Louvre’s essence, but not too many that it all started swimming together. I cannot recommend Elisa enough & will do so to anyone I know visiting Paris! (She does tours of other sites as well- just ask!).

Virtual tour of Paris from the rooftops - Team event

I had the opportunity to have this guided virtual tour experience around famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and other monuments. Despite of the fact that I've visited them before, Elisa show us an incredible view, even remote, and at the same time, told us some curiosities about them. I think that in current days is a good idea to visit or re-visit this beautiful city and with Elisa's interactivity is even better! Tatiana

 

It was quite interesting. I was in Paris more than 10 years ago and it was an opportunity to revisit the city as it is today and learn some history about the city. Elisa was excellent, very clear and communication was very noticeable. Rui

 

The tour was good, it gave you a taste of what you can see in Paris. We have started with the Eiffel Tour and it was very educational. Elisa told us lots of peculiar information it. I felt that the others places were not presented in the same way, but I understand this is what was possible to with the time we had. We had access to parts that we probably would not have access to on a regular tour, for i.e we we able to "go" inside the Grand Palais. Elisa was great, it was pleasant to listen to her, she was friendly. Her honest smile gave the human interaction we needed for this virtual tour. Thanks again and wishing you success for the tours to come! Ana

 

It was really nice to see Paris without leaving my house. Learn the buildings and Paris history it is always a nice experience. I really liked it and recommend it. Mariana

 

A really nice virtual tour and very clear explanation. I have already been to Paris a couple of years ago and to be there again - even if virtually - was a really nice experience: I was shown some monuments i had no time to visit during that long week end trip. I recommend the tour and I would enjoy virtual tours of other towns, or for example the Loire Valley. P.s. the tour reminded me to avoid visiting such big cities with new shoes :) Silvia

 

Was good relieving some of the sights of Paris and also very surprised about some facts like Montmartre's story! Rui.

 

Elisa has made me truly travel. Her immersive descriptions and carefully chosen and narrated stories abut the places and buildings chosen to present Paris really made me feel there and involved. I felt connected and it was very good. Thank you and keep up the good work! Vicente

I book a visit of the Orsay museum as a birthday gift to a friend and something fun to do together. 

We both LOVED it! It was very entertaining, and Elisa did an excellent job at giving us interesting context for both the museum itself, and the paintings she showed us.

My friend told me after the tour: "I was a bit skeptical.. how good can a virtual tour of a museum be? It turns out the answer is: awesome! I could practically smell Paris." A huge compliment from someone who had visited Orsay multiple times before. Highly recommended!

Awesome Virtual Tour of Versailles

Our family was looking for something enjoyable and educational during this challenging time staying at home for weeks, and Elisa's virtual tour of Versailles was perfect! My family in California, my parents in Florida, and my sister's family in the Carolinas all joined Elisa for a one hour live guided tour through Versailles Palace (using Google Arts and Culture's 3D mapping so it was like being there - but with no other people/crowds!). Elisa's commentary and insights, and her eagerness to respond to questions, made the experience interactive and engaging for our tri-generational group. And, at only 80 Euros for the hour, we received a lot of value for our money. Cannot recommend enough.

A very different view of Montmartre

A few Saturdays ago, some very good friends asked if we would like to join them and their little dog on a 2-hour guided tour of Montmartre [...]

It was an excellent visit. There were so many little side streets that I had never been to; buildings I knew as a “site”, but not in terms of their history; little parks; who the statues were and why they were there; the old entrances to the metro stations and much more….also she introduced us to Flashinvader [...] but beware, it is addictive, though if you are bringing kids, then it’s a big bonus

She did not bother doing the normal sites; that was not the purpose. Rather it was about the long gone, hidden history. During my French studies all those years ago, I had read most of the books and poems we discussed; since when, I had probably seen most of the art referred to (BTW, just don’t miss the Musee d’Orsay or even the little museum in Montmartre itself) and heard the music

She was very patient, answered all our questions, had enlarged photos of everything so you could understand what Montmartre used to look like all those years ago ie being outside of Paris then

One more thing. We all speak fluent French, but she spoke seriously good English, both in terms of vocabulary but also accent, which is just as important for understanding

Oh, wear sensible shoes - if you didn't know, its very up and down

We had a great time and fully recommend Elisa to you

Paris by Foot!

We toured the Ile de Cite area of Paris with Elisa for several hours. She had to substitute Saint Chappell for Notre Dame which was very interesting to see . Her information was excellent and she answered all our questions. She knew exactly where to go at the right time to avoid the lines. Elisa was very adaptable to changing anything we needed along the way to be sure we were happy with the tour especially in The Louvre. She even followed up with suggestions by email for some shopping areas we needed

Highly recommend her as your Paris on foot guide. Sadly we forgot to taker her photo as we usually do with our guides so I am posting one of me from our walk with her along the Seine .

Praise for Elisa

If you are looking for a guided tour in Paris I highly recommend Elisa. She is a real professional and will cater to your group and agenda easily. She is punctual. We did not have the benefit of making early arrangements with Elisa but she worked with us to make the most of our visit(s). I have not visited the museums in Paris for several years and things have changed. You must book your tickets online and well in advance. The Louvre was closed to people who did not have advance, online tickets. We met a couple who arrived days earlier and still had not been able to buy tickets to the museum on site. Thankfully, Elisa had taken care of us and we breezed through the gate and security.

At Versailles we had a limited amount of time but more than enough for us to have a great experience. Elisa arranged for us to be there just at the right time to see the fountains running. I have been to Versailles a few times before but never saw the fountains working. It was special.

Excellent Guide

My wife and I spent a part of two days with Elisa during our short visit to Paris this past holiday season. If you are visiting a place for the first time, I highly recommend investing in the services of a professional tour guide like Elisa. Doing so takes away a great deal of the stress that some might feel when visiting a new city, particularly if you are on a tight schedule!

For our visit, Elisa proposed itineraries for each day that struck a good balance between "see all that we can" and "have enough energy to enjoy the end of the day". She showed up with skip-the-line tickets. She knew the right places to meet. She brought with her an iPad loaded with supplemental material. For the noisy Louvre Museum, she provided us with personal headsets so that we could hear her explanations as we moved through the crowds.

She is very educated on the history of Paris and she knows the highlights of the Louvre, the Orsay Museum, and Notre Dame Cathedral very well. We came to know of Elisa through word-of-mouth. The person that referred us to Elisa was equally pleased with Elisa's services and has referred multiple people to her.Thank you Elisa!

Phenomenal Guide; Knowledgeable; Flexible; Easy to Work With

We booked Elisa for a 5 hour private tour of the Versailles Palace (including the gardens and Trianons, etc.) and had an unbelievable time. We wanted to keep the group small (just me, my wife and mom) because of my wife's pregnancy and mom's advanced age - and it was the best decision we could've made.

Elisa made the history come to life with her great anecdotes and historical knowledge. She was very easy to talk to and has a wonderful personality that made the long day extremely fun. Though we were all tired after walking thousands of steps, Elisa remained upbeat the entire time and helped make Versailles the favorite part of our trip to Paris. The other guides that I've used in Paris cannot compare and we'll definitely make sure to try and book her for other Paris trips in the future!

We truly enjoy our waking tour with Elisa! We had young children and she was really great sharing history of the places we visited. Highly recommended.

Two excellent tours: The Louvre and Montmartre

We went to Paris with our 13 year old granddaughter and visited the Louvre and Montmartre with Elisa. It was a great experience as her knowledge and delivery were excellent, specially with a young teenager. Very light and informative always with an easy smile.

3 Hour Walking Tour with Elisa Jehanno

This was the highlight of our trip to Paris! Elisa is extraordinarily bright, highly intelligent and very well educated. Her English was perfect and communication was never even a question. I learned more about art and history in 3 hours walking around Paris than any class I have ever attended and there was no test! Her delivery is easy and unassuming, she answered questions with ease and tied so much of it all together.

 TOTALLY DELIGHTFUL & EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE

Elisa took us on an early morning tour of Montmartre, followed by an extremely insightful 2 1/2 hour visit to the d'Orsy Museum, and then a visit to Notre-Dame Cathedral. Elisa is a wonderful person & extremely intelligent tour guide. You can not go wrong by touring Paris with her!

Really interesting, good explanation, ensuring you see the best of the Louvre!!

Our whole family (10 people) joined this tour that has been a very good experience! From my 5 year old daughter to the 69 year old grandfather we all enjoyed the visit and the high quality of the entertaining explanations. Extremely recommendable, and very good level of Spanish from Elisa!
