My family and I just returned from nearly a week in magnificent Paris, on a skip generation vacation with myself and young adult grandchildren. Parents left home. Bertrand D’Aleman of My Private Paris was and is our private guide who, with charm, skill, and an enthusiastic entertaining style, can also maximize your time in and enjoyment of Paris, a very large and very crowded city.
Ten years ago, we took our then thirteen year grandson to tour Paris with Bertrand for the first time. We have had Bertrand as a private Paris guide for the third time since.
We have recommended him and his company, My Private Paris, to all of our friends and family during these 10 years, who thoroughly agree he is the best private guide and tour company for Paris. His knowledge, planning and recommendations include unique ideas and experiences, and knowing where to be when for the most enjoyment of Paris.
Our Paris included an electric powered, thus quiet, private boat tour on the Seine while we sipped champagne, and our second oldest grandson had the opportunity to be the captain and drive the boat beneath the iconic Paris monuments and buildings.
The ease at which you maneuver Paris with Bertrand, even the most crowded elevators at the Eiffel Tower, will astound you, as it did us. The best spots to take photographs to record your journey appear. VIP tickets and private early exclusive access to sites and locations, such as Marie Antoinette’s Trianon in Versailles before the crowds descend, and secret locations, make you too feel like royalty.
Bertrand D’Aleman and his expert team of Bertrand trained guides and specialized travel designers can assist with the largest or smallest requests and needs in Paris and in France beyond. Recommendations for shopping, reservations for restaurants, and your entire itinerary are tailored to your tastes and desires. Your family will see the highlights of museums and sights in the most superb, engaging, and efficient means possible. You can see and do more in less time in Paris with Bertrand and his guides guiding you.
Bertrand D’Aleman
I give Bertrand D’Aleman, private Paris guide, the highest five star recommendation. He and his company, My Private Paris, are worth every penny to optimize your time and make your time in Paris perfect. He loves Paris and you will too if you are lucky to find him and his team available. Book early to acquire his extraordinary services.
Joy,
Mema
