Private driver/tour guide in Paris
 
When we went to Rome we had a driver for the day and take us to all the sites in Rome. It was great! Does anyone know of anyone in Paris that does this?

Bonjour,

I know someone who does this type of car tour.

If you want, send me e-mail, and I can give you his contact e-mail and you might be able to work something out.

On this site, where it says "Search this Forum", type Michel Osman and then do the drop-down screen for France. Try very hard to get in touch with him. When we went a couple of years ago, he wasn't available when we where there but he recommended a friend and that young man was just fantastic!!! So, I'd say, whatever Michel recommends, go with that! Don't hesitate to accept a substitute he recommends if he's not available. It was just a great experience.

If you want an excellent tour guide, I can recommend one. Send me an email at [email protected]. I'm not comfortable posting her information on boards like this, but she knows every stone in Paris and is wonderful.

As for a driver, I have to think that that would be a hard way to see the sights of Paris, unless traffic jams are considered "sights." Wasn't that a problem in Rome, too?

thanks for the info. Actually the traffic in Rome was not that bad. We were there in September. I guess this guy just knew where to go to miss traffic. Thanks

Tuleppy,
My family used the services of Michael also, but we used public transportation to see the city. He made our trip!
Could you post the name of your driver that you used in Rome. I'm working out a trip with my family early summer and would be curious to contact this driver possibly. Did he also offer touring information?
Thanks
