This tour was fun,...

Maya_A, Jan 2026

This tour was fun, engaging, and the perfect amount of history. It was well paced and made Paris come alive without feeling overwhelming. Rami was a fantastic guide. He is knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely enjoyable to listen to. Highly recommend!

A must do while in Paris.

Margaret_G, Nov 2025

Our tour guide Alex met us at the appointed location promptly. Alex was pleasant and extremely knowledgeable of Paris and its history. She navigated our group through the Metro effortlessly. We learned so much about the different districts and even sang us a popular French ballad. We highly recommend this tour. Scott and Maggie November 2025

Great tour!! Highly recommend for first day in Paris.

kim_c, Jul 2025

It was a great way to get a taste of Paris and also taught us to use the metro. Rudy was amazing!! Gave us a lot of history along the way.

Good introduction to Paris

Michael_U, Jul 2025

This is a good introduction to Paris for a first time visitor. You will "see" all the popular or important sights. Our guide, Guy, was engaging, funny and informative- very happy with his style and vibe. He also kept us at a good pace, with only one 20 min stop for a snack and bathroom break. I appreciate this because a 5 hour tour that spends two hours constantly stopping for restroom and lunch and shopping is not what I signed up for - so excellent on that point. You will see a lot of things, you will do a lot of walking. A LOT OF WALKING. Be prepaired for that. You will also become more familiar and comfortable navigating the Paris metro. You will not, however, enter any of the stops, so this is the downside. This tour is strictly "pass by". I guess that I imagined we might enter some buildings. The itinerary list stating "admission included" implies you will enter the buildings. But, I now realize that the time does not allow for this. That said, you will get a full five hours of sightseeing with guided commentary. So, all in all, I would recommend for someone with only one day in Paris who want to say they saw everything or for first time visitor on the first day who wants a taste of the city to decide what and where they want to explore in more depth later.

Good

Thabo_M, Jul 2025

Eric_P, May 2025

So informative and interesting. Wassel was probably the best guide have ever had. Very intelligent young man.

Fabulous way to see Paris

Brittany_M, May 2025

Wow!! What a wonderful tour! We were short on time so this was a fabulous way to see all of the highlights of Paris! It ended up just being us on the tour so that was nice! Our guide, Juliana was ABSOLUTELY LOVELY!! She was a wealth of knowledge and it was like walking around with a friend who knew everything about the city! I highly recommend this tour and Juliana!! It was nice to do this our first day to get a lay of the land and to have someone explain the metro, that was invaluable!!

Just do it when in London

Tony, Apr 2025

Was a good tour. Guide knowledge but tells some corny jokes at time. Very knowledgeable of the hosts and knows the good spot to take photo of the changing of the guide

Charles_S, Feb 2025

Olivia was great! Well, organized attentive made sure all guests were pleased with the experience. We were very happy with the tour.

The big 5 in one day, Paris style!

Graham_B, Oct 2024

Excellent tour, great knowledge and certainly a fun group. A delayed start was recovered by the quality of the Guide. Although the hour delay did leave us no time to use the Arc Du T tickets, with a packed schedule.

Great overview of Paris, lovely informative guide

Dianne_S, Jun 2024

Long walking your with several Metro trips allowed us to see the main Paris highlights and get a better idea of the layout of Paris Excellent

Great way to see a lot and get around on day one with little stress or confusion.

Heath_M, Jun 2024

Very much appreciate our tour guide reaching out with a phone call to ensure we knew where to meet and allowing us to join after the tour already started. Our flight from Barcelona was canceled so we arrived late in Paris. However we were still able to enjoy a good portion of the tour. Nice to be treated well and accommodated. Thank you Jasmine and Daniel.

Fun overview of Paris!

Mark_W, Jun 2024

The day was so fun! Our tour guide Nicco was amazing! Learned the metro system to feel confident on my own. Great overview of Paris to see what we wanted to explore on our own. Great experience!

Well worth the experience.

steve_a, Apr 2024

Hugo is excellent guide and host. He offered great insight into life of the locals and historical culture. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Great Intro to Paris

Heather_L, Mar 2024

Lydia was our tour guide for the day and she met us just where the directions said to meet. It was an easy to find location and Lydia navigated us through the streets of Paris with ease. She had a good knowledge of the city and it was a great tour to do on your first day of Paris. We got to see all the main sights and were introduced to some of the more popular neighborhoods in Paris. Altogether a great experience!
