Karina helped make our trip as smooth as possible for our Christmas holiday. From stocking the refrigerator to setting up a Christmas tree, she helped make our trip a memorable one. Very helpful and quick to respond to requests.
My family of 4 traveled to Paris for Christmas, and Karina arranged for the most beautiful Christmas tree for our apartment! It was decorated and lit up when we arrived, as it remained throughout our vacation. My emails were always answered right away as we planned for our tree, and she sent photos for me to choose from. The tree really made our stay in the apartment feel magical.
I didn’t realize until too late that Karina could have assisted me with restaurant reservations and itinerary planning. If I had, I would have used her services for sure, because I spent hours and hours pouring through tour and restaurant reviews, making all my own reservations online. It was a bit stressful and incredibly time consuming.
Next time I head to Paris I will work with Karina again, taking advantage of all she offers!
Karina is great! A pleasure to work with, and fountain of knowledge of all things French anyone could ask for. Have had the pleasure of working with her before and hope to again in the future.
I went to Paris this September 2022. It’s a trip I have been dreaming about for 24 years.
This group was an amazing resource and the gem it offered me was Karina Clarke with Travel Light Paris. You can read all about her services in her page. What the page won’t tell you and can’t explain is how amazing her response time is, her knowledge, her ability to grasp exactly what you need and what you want. her transport services for the airport are superb! Robert was equally vested in our vacation as she was. He went above and beyond ensuring we didn’t miss a beat from the moment we arrived to the airport check in process when we left. Feeling “safe” and in good hands when traveling to a new destination is always a welcomed feeling and with Karina we felt like our very own family member was helping us get a lay of the land. you will definitely get more than what you paid for.
Working with Karina at Travel Light Paris was a dream. She coordinated the activities for our family to allow us to utilize our time efficiently and enhance our experience in Paris.
Karina arranged for many wonderful private tour experiences. She also kept in touch with us throughout our time in Paris to make sure all was going well. Thank you Karina for making our trip so memorable.

My daughter and I visited Paris to celebrate her graduation which had been delayed due to Covid. We had been planning where we wanted to visit for quite some time but Karina made the magic happen. She is a true professional and made our trip one we will never forget. We had skip the line tickets, very knowledgeable tour guides (especially at the Louvre where we were whisked to the front of the line by our wonderful guide Iris). Karina booked our 2CV tour, Moulin Rouge tickets, tickets to Dior Gallery, Arc de Triomphe to name a few but the best was left for the last evening – a truly wonderful dinner cruise on Le Calife with exceptional food and service. Karina made most of our restaurant bookings (confirming them for us the day before). I cannot fault a single thing. If you are thinking of visiting Paris, please do not leave your tours, dinner reservations, tickets etc to chance. This wonderful lady made our trip truly memorable and for that I will forever be in her debt. Thank you Karina.
Karina at Travel Light Paris was recommended to me by Paris Perfect, and I credit the success of our wonderful trip to her excellent services. My husband and I were traveling with our 14 year old grandson and planned to spend 5 nights in Paris
(Aug 1-6th, 2022). I presented Karina with a daunting list of my grandson’s and my requests to work with. We communicated back and forth refining and modifying the itinerary. She made tour recommendations and arranged for fabulous guides.
She suggested things to do and places to see in keeping with our grandson’s interests in transportation. She discouraged unnecessary tours and over planning a day’s activities. She assembled an amazing itinerary, complete with transportation directions and restaurant recommendations/reservations for breakfast, lunch and dinner that accommodated our grandson’s less-than-adventuresome culinary tastes. She included walks around various neighborhoods.
Karina went above and beyond in continuing to answer questions and make arrangements even after she’d left Paris for her visit home. She made everything hum along perfectly and helped me alter plans in response to questions or changes we wanted to make once we’d arrived. I truly can’t recommend her highly enough. Karina is a real find. She’s delightful to work with, extremely knowledgable and a master of her craft.
We met Karina on the first day of our six day stay in a beautiful Paris apartment next to the Eiffel Tower which we rented through Paris Perfect. Her neighborhood tour was so informative and useful that I would highly recommend it.
Our stay was enhanced with the knowledge Karina imparted to us. We began the tour in our Paris apartment where we discussed all our plans of what we would like to see and Karina provided advice and answers to all our questions. Then we went out to stroll our neighborhood. We loved the award winning boulangerie Karina showed us, which we may never have found on our own. She explained when grocery stores near us were open and pointed out the best restaurants, wine shop, meat shops and fresh produce all within walking distance from our apartment. Karina even helped us shop when we needed a few essentials, and the grocery store was closing in the afternoon. We split our shopping list and Karina found what we were unable to find just before the grocery store closed.
Karina took us to our closest Metro station and explained the various pass choices and which was the best buy to suit our plans. Having Karina’s neighborhood tour when we first arrived in Paris was like having a friend help you to have the best time ever in Paris. I would highly recommend Karina’s tours.
Karina was such a pleasure to work with! We were in Paris in July 2022 and she helped us brainstorm itineraries that were flexible and varied! She helped book restaurants, museums and the most amazing food tour! I would 100% use Karina again and will recommend her to anyone traveling to Paris!
Karina planned our amazing Paris vacation this past June. We enjoyed everything that was on the itinerary and did not feel it was too packed with activities for our family. The pace was perfect for our 5 day stay and the restaurant recommendations were fantastic. She checked on us multiple times during our visit and responded to emails quickly from beginning to end. She is very trustwory and we would absolutely recommend her to everyone.
Karina at Travel Light Paris made my (our) trip to Paris perfect! I was traveling to Paris with four members of my family for a one week visit. I wanted to see what I wanted to see comfortably. I am a 86 year old woman and I was traveling with my daughter-in-law, her parents and my grandson, age 14.
We were in Paris to visit my granddaughter who was there for her Junior Year of college. Not knowing if I am going to get to Paris ever again, I had a few items on my “bucket list” that I wanted to see. I was so lucky to get in touch with Karina at Travel Light Paris and explained what I needed. Karina was FANTASTIC! She understood what I needed and we worked
together to set up a plan for my week stay. The plan had options for everyone in the group, even ideas for the 14 year old grandson. It ended up that everyone wanted to join Karina and me as we spent three days visiting the sites on my list. Karina mapped out the itinerary, got the tickets, picked me (us) up at the hotel, took us to the museums, knew where to get lunch, and how to maneuver the travel from place to place. Karina was so pleasant, helpful, fun to be with, and efficient–we could not have managed without her and her knowledge of Paris. I recommend hiring Karina for any of your travel plans in Paris.
Karina was incredibly helpful and I wholeheartedly recommend her and Travel Light Paris. Karina accompanied my father in Paris for two days, taking him to places he wanted to see, suggesting sites he had never visited, navigating public transport, and helping him renew his sanitary pass. My father, who has been to Paris several times, was delighted by her suggestions and enjoyed her company. She’s accessible, friendly, and very helpful.
