We will be going to Paris in late May early June and I was wondering if anyone can recommend a tour guide we will only have three days in Paris and it will be our very first time there

Paris is one of the easiest cities to see on your own in all of Europe; second only to London, IMO. Rick's guidebook is all I've ever needed, even on my first trip. He even has some excellent walking tours and audio guides.

Paris Walks does a variety of tours. I was very impressed by the guide who led one that I took a few years ago. I notice that they do regularly scheduled tours, as well as private tours. Here is their website: http://paris-walks.com/index_m.html
I have also heard good things about A French Frye in Paris - https://afrenchfryeinparis.com/
Food tours can be really fun. Here’s one company that I have heard is good:

I also recommend Rick Steves guidebooks to do some things on your own. Most of his books include some recommendations for local guides.

For my first time in Paris we researched our city preferences from RS Guidebooks and and felt we had enough info to do most on our own. That said, we like to supplement by hiring guides. So glad we took two walking tours with Sightseekers Delight. Our interests were Montmartre and Jewish history. We took both tours and felt it was money well spent. The guides were very knowledgeable and engaging. Guides are great resources as well. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwijivCq3L78AhVYIzQIHdnFDcMQFnoECA8QAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsightseekersdelight.com%2Ftours%2F&usg=AOvVaw3kcZs86qesotzkHq-xZEpf
