Traveller reviews
My husband and I had an awesome experience with Queer Tours France. We booked 5 tours with them (Paris Walking Tour, Notre Dame, The Louvre, Orsay Museum and Orangerie Museum). Each one was outstanding. The tour guides (Doina, Alex and Edwardo) were extremely knowledgeable. They had extensive backgrounds in the subject matter backed by impressive educational credentials. There wasn't a question they couldn't answer. We appreciated how they weaved in queer history into each tour, relating stories and situations that you wouldn't get on a typical tour. I had several email exchanges with Doina when planning the trip in which we related what we were most interested in seeing. She was able to craft together customized tours/lectures which provided a historical and queer context for what we were seeing. In addition, they were great people to spend time with...fun to be with! They also provided some hints on what to do on our own, where to eat, local queer establishments, and how to get around. We highly recommend Queer Tours France! I would definitely rebook tours with them on our next visit to Paris!
They were so easy with communication, it only took a wire transfer from western union to book the tour and we were able to find Alex outside the Louvre at the meeting place and had THE BEST time with him. The louvre is massive, it was my first time there, and I was taking my mom for her birthday on a tour of Paris. I wanted to support an LGBTQ business while I was there and heard about this from a friend, I cannot recommend them enough. It was one of the best parts of our trip, Alex is lovely and a phenomenal tour guide! I would recommend to anyone and book them again if I was going back.
We had an amazing time, everything was well-organized. Johanna was a fantastic guide, she kept us engaged the whole way through, we love how she blended the general history of Paris with LGBT stories. We would definitely book with the company again on another trip.
I absolutely loved this visit with Eri. This small tour company is a must for those interested to discover Paris with an LGBTQ lens. We took a look at the main monuments of paris from the Place de La Concorde to Les Halles. I can't wait to go back and do the Louvre version. I am a full on Parisian with ancestors dating back to 1593 and I still learned a ton.
Very nice visit & beautiful insights on the Queer community square in the heart of Paris! Special mention for the end in front of the status of Joan of Arc, unifying emblem of our country.
Thank you for visiting the Louvre mid January. 3 hours visit while remaining fun and light, it is more than perfect. Thank you for making us travel from Mesopotamia to the Renaissance without telling us any salads (private joke or not, it's up to you to discover the magic of these stories).
Big big kiff for this beautifully animated visit. We discover so many dates and people who have marked the history of LGBTQIA+ minorized and sexized people and especially their struggles that go back well before our century (no it is not a fashion ha ha):D Thanks again for the welcome <3
Very informative and exciting tour led by a very friendly, dynamic and very skilled Guide to communicate his many historical knowledge! THANK YOU very much and to the next visit!
