American Concierge

Fabulous personalized tours !!! Rich the head concierge was excellent.
My wife and I do not enjoy large group tours. That’s why we went with this service. We first skyped with Sharon and Rich to plan out our trip, mainly to find the best out of the way places.
We started the trip with a personal Airport pickup. Then we spent the next 4 days on some great private tours. First the Montmartre art & culture tour, then the Marais shopping tour (my wife designed her own perfume scent), then the Tuileries Waterlilies & Hot Chocolate Tour (love that Angelina’s Hot Chocolate). But the best part though, was when Janice (a Jazz singer her self) took us on a custom Jazz music tour to the best out of the way Jazz venues, and gave us the low down on the Paris Jazz culture.
We also wanted to to Marianne’s private gallery tour, but the timing was not right. We’ll do that one the next time, and probably the Cheese market tour, and (maybe) the ‘Gotta Dance’ tour.
Thanks Rich and
. We’ll see you next time we’re in Paris.

I love traveling outside the US. Having been to Paris before, I wanted a unique and personalized experience without having to spend a ton of time researching, reading guide books, nor stressing about getting to activities on time.
Rich and the team at American Concierge were a great resource before and during my trip. In advance of the trip, Rich saved me a ton of time researching things to do, making reservations, and based on our conversations, Rich offered suggestions for activities he thought I’d enjoy. When I told him I do yoga, he found the only studio in Paris offering a class in English (at Paris Yoga which I highly recommend!) and then made sure I arrived to class on time (following him on a city bike). Rich also recommended an evening/​night bike tour, which was amazing as well as a cooking class that included shopping a market with the chef, deciding what to prepare, cooking the food and then enjoying a fabulous meal… What a great night.
I rented American Concierge’s local cell phone to stay in touch with Rich, meet up with a couple of my friends in Paris and create a mobile hot spot so I could check email on my US phone and stay connected with my work.
Thanks to Rich and his team I was able to maximize my vacation, minimize the worry and stress of navigating a foreign city, and truly enjoy my time in Paris.
