Our guide Sashka was very knowledgeable she took us seamlessly around the city and explained the history of the iconic landmarks. We also feel more confident on the Metro now too. This is a great way to see Paris and we would highly recommend this tour.

Went with my 22 year old daughter. So nice to learn how to use the metro and also learned so much about the areas visited. Would do it again

We were first time visitors to Paris, and were only there for a couple of days, so this tour worked perfectly for us to get to the must see items on our list. We covered a lot of ground, both on Foot and the metro. We saw many of the “major“ sites – Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Arc de Triumphe, Moulin Rouge, and our wonderful tour guide Marielle gave us history on them all. She was very friendly and made the tour highly enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Stacey_D, May 2026
A lot of walking, 4 metro rides. You see a lot of the biggest landmarks in Paris. Highly recommend taking this tour in the beginning of your trip to Paris so you can get your bearings in the city. Convenient meeting point!
Sayyad_A, May 2026
I actually checked the reviews before booking this tour and i actually got very disappointed. Considering that we were going to have only 2 and a half days in Paris, this was a good tour to see must visits of Paris, however, not enough information about the city and places that we visited was provided to us. Our guide would just give us a very brief overall info about the sights, where, I believe we could easily learn a lot more if we searched ourselves… our tour guy, Barbara, was not enough entertaining.. during our walks from point to point, she would not communicate at all. Considering that we were group of 4 in the tour, it could definitely be a lot easier for her to take control of the group…

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We’re sorry to hear the experience did not meet your expectations, especially when your time in Paris was limited and you chose this tour to make the most of your visit.
Our tours are designed as fun, fast-paced sightseeing experiences covering many of Paris’ top highlights in a short time, rather than in-depth historical lectures at each stop. That said, the guide should absolutely still provide engaging commentary throughout, so we’re sorry if this felt lacking on the day.
Barbara has guided many guests successfully, but we do take comments like yours seriously and will review this feedback with her. We appreciate your honest comments and are sorry we didn’t deliver the experience you were hoping for.

Sara was excellent. She gave us great insight and knowledge to not only the things in the tour but additional sights as well.
Toni_A, May 2026
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, funny and friendly - thank you! We were late arriving due to an emergency at our hotel. The operator accommodated us to join later.
John_P, May 2026
It’s a great way to hear about the major attractions in Paris. Our tour guide, Jazmine, was fun, attentive and vey knowledgeable! Would definitely recommend!
Janet_P, May 2026
Jasmine was a wonderful and informative guide. I would highly recommend a tour with her.
Be prepared to climb a lot of stairs in and out of the metro.
Tina_g, May 2026
Great tour! Our tour guide Yasmine was very knowledgeable! We learned how to use the metro for the rest of our trip!
Brett_P, Apr 2026
The walking tour was a wonderful introduction to the city! Our guide was from New York actually and she was so fun, knowledgeable and knew exactly what information tourists need to navigate Paris well. She also made sure we had snack and bathroom stops (very important in a public toilet sparse city)!! We took funny pictures holding the Eiffel Tower and most importantly, rode the metro, allowing us to familiarize ourselves with the process and become proficient at getting around on our own. Highly recommend this tour!
Carol_S, Apr 2026
Great way to be introduced to the great structures of Paris, some interesting facts and the history of them. Daniel did a great job in explaining how to navigate the public transportation system and where you were if you decide to come back later on further explore some of these landmarks in great detail. Highly recommend for the beginning of your stay in Paris.
Angela_D, Apr 2026
This experience felt less like a traditional tour and more like an orientation to Paris. Our guide walked us through different districts and highlighted what to see in each area, on our own time after the tour. We were shown how to navigate the subway. We received other recommendations for places to visit, eat, and explore independently. One other noteworthy item- this is the first time I’ve experienced a guide requesting tips which was unexpected. I will say that I generally give tips, however, explicitly requesting them was surprising.
Gabrielle_B, Apr 2026
Our guide was nice and very informative. The only reason it is not 5 star is because there was not 15+ sites
David_S, Mar 2026
This was a great introduction to Paris! We saw many highlights in 3 hours. We also learned about riding the subway which was very useful. I recommend this tour at the beginning of your visit so you get a preview of many of the wonderful options to see in Paris.
We were a small group of four so we got to see a lot and ask many questions of our guide.
Aurora was running just a few minutes late because she was completing a previous tour. So we contacted Viator and they reassured us immediately that our tour guide would be there in just a few minutes. And she was! Great customer service.
Aurora was charming, knowledgeable, and yet quick to admit if she did not have an answer for us. I love the fact that she was from Norway so I could speak Norwegian with her.
Mary_H, Mar 2026
Yasemin was enthusiastic and fun. She shared a wealth of cultural knowledge about all of the sights. Learning how to ride the metro was invaluable. Be prepared for walking and lots of up and down stairs!
Monica_V, Mar 2026
It was a great experience. You got to learn the history of the most important tourist places in Parish with a fun and knowledgeable tourist guide. Olivia was excellent, fun, patient and very knowledgeable. She didn’t make you feel rush you, but got to show you everything they mentioned when you booked the tour.
We gave Olivia a 101!!
Thank you Olivia 👍
Dorinda_W, Mar 2026
The tour was okay and the guide was very good, but the tour title is misleading. We did not see, pass by, or hear stories about 15+ attractions. At best we stopped, photographed and heard about half; the other half were pointed to in the distance with little to no commentary and a couple of these had no mention or location identified at all.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your feedback, and I’m really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the guide — I’ll be sure to pass that on.
I’d like to clarify how the tour is structured, as there can sometimes be a misunderstanding around the “15+ sights” format. The experience is designed as a fast-paced overview of central Paris, where guests are introduced to a wide range of landmarks within a limited timeframe. This means some sights are stopped at and explored in more detail, while others are pointed out, explained, and placed into context as we move between locations.
This approach allows us to cover a broad number of highlights in a relatively short tour, which is exactly what many travellers are looking for. That said, all locations listed are included within the route and commentary, even if not every single one involves a full stop.
We do take your feedback seriously, particularly regarding clarity of explanations and visibility of certain landmarks, and we will review this with the guide to ensure all points are clearly identified and properly introduced.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts
Kristin_K, Mar 2026
Great guide who was very knowledgeable and gave great tips for navigating the metro, restaurants and more. Also took great photos amass knew all the good spots! Highly recommend
Theresa_V, Mar 2026
Olivia was a great tour guide. We learned so much about the city and each area. It was very fun and we covered a lot of ground. Also liked learning how to use the Metro.
Pranitha_S, Feb 2026
The walking tour was very comprehensive and covered major attractions in 3 hours. We learnt a lot from this tour. Our guide was helpful and volunteered to take pictures whenever we asked
Meg_M, Feb 2026
Our tour guide was not very enthusiastic, started 20 minutes late with us as another couple booked privately with her earlier, and did not have a deep knowledge of anything. It was a disappointing tour.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that this tour did not meet your expectations. We always try to give the best of ourselves and on the occasions failed:-(
Punctuality and engaging, knowledgeable guiding are very important to us, and your comments have been shared internally so we can review what happened and improve. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know.
Carolyn_S, Jan 2026
Well worth it! My tour guide was Chiara and she was excellent! She took the time to answer all my questions and was very personable. 4 1/2 hours is a long time to spend with someone and the time flew by. Very knowledgeable and I feel like I got to learn a lot about the important spots in Paris.
Manan_B, Jan 2026
Good tour that covers many of the major attractions. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and friendly.
Sandy_F, Jan 2026
We got to see the highlights of Paris in just a few hours. Our guide adva was wonderful, knowledgeable and fun
Shelby_H, Dec 2025
This walking tour is the best for your first activity in the city!! It helps you get acclimated to Paris, teaches you the Metro & you get to see the most sights in just a few hours. This helps you learn & see what you may want to return to & how! We landed & went straight to the walking tour & it helped us stay awake & beat jet lag too.
Olivia_B, Dec 2025
Chiara was fantastic! She was very personable and took the time to explain things to us, take pictures for us, and Crack jokes! She was extremely knowledgeable also. Definitely recommend Chiara!

It was the best tour we have ever had. Our guide was great teaching how to understanding the city. We got a great course in how to use the metro so easy. It was unfortunate for our guide it was just me and my wife but it was so great for us. She made us feel like we had our own personal guide. Great information about the city and the history of what we saw. Great overview of the most important attractions. Would recommend this for any first timer to the city to get a great overview.
Susan_L, Nov 2025
Great experience. We saw all of the highlights of Paris in just a few hours. We recommend this tour!
Rachel_H, Nov 2025
This was a good way to get around to so many places! We would have never been able to navigate all of this transportation and see all the places.
