Don’t bother

Claire_A, Sep 2025
A road was closed due to a parade, we arrived 5 minutes late but they had already left without us. You would have thought knowing the number of people on the tour they would have waited. Called the number, they told us to go to Notre damn bridge to find them so we did. Called them back as we could not find them, then they told us to go back to the start and “someone” would come for us. We waited for an hour but no one came. What a waste of money. We were really looking forward to it as well.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience. Unfortunately, due to the parade that day, it was a particularly difficult situation for both guests and guides to manage. Our guides are usually up to 10 minutes at the meeting point. We truly regret that communication didn’t go smoothly in this case. Best regards, Walkative! Team

The tour guide gave nice...

The tour guide gave nice information but also talked a lot about silly stuff. I could see with another guide it could be better.

Great tour of historic Paris!
