This was a last minute add for our Paris trip (another tour was canceled the night before). Kiera was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Kept the group engaged. Lots of walking!
Best tour to take when you arrive in Paris. Learn about the history of the city. Knowledgable and passionate tour guide
Not only was Alberto very knowledgeable about Paris history and its monuments, his stories made the history come alive! He has an amazing gift to be able to provide just the right amount of facts. What a great tour.!
We scheduled this for our first morning in Paris and it was a good way to get our bearings in the city. Robin was full of information and we enjoyed the history lesson. Going in, I though it was going to cover more ground, but I didn’t realize how large and spread out the city is.
Sanaa, our tour guide, was so informative and communicated clearly. Be sure to wear good walking shoes because we covered a lot of territory! Learned a lot in a short amount t of time!
Interesting tour around the center. Make sure to take comfortable shoes, water and go to the toilet beforehand.
A fabulous walking tour of central area of Paris. Our tour guide Sanna, was an excellent guide and all of us thoroughly enjoyed her sharing of the amazing history of Paris
A thoroughly-enjoyable and informative walking tour. Our guide, Harry, offered a terrific combination of history, architecture, and a fresh open-minded perspective. Harry was very knowledgeable and super-friendly and approachable. It was a warm, sunny day, yet he managed to find shade for us when presenting. Highly recommend this experience!
It was a great way to start off the trip! We learned a lot and found our footing so we could move more easily through Paris!
Alberto was a great tour guide, with a great attitude despite the blazing heat. This tour is a great way to learn about Paris’ notorious landmarks in the city centre
Our tour guide provided lots of information about Paris with a side a theaters, which helped the people in our group who were not very interested in history enjoy the tour as well. We tipped the guide at the end. Give what you feel the tour was worth to you and your group.
Alberto was FANTASTIC! Our group was mostly Americans and he clearly knew how to deal with us - manner of speaking, pacing, and informational depth. He was happy to answer questions and provide tips. The tour covered a bit of ground starting near Notre Dame and ending at the Louvre. As tip-based tour, there is not a set amount, but for Americans, a sum of $20-30 per person seems reasonable, although $10-15 may be okay. He did NOT pressure anyone on the amount and he was gracious. Very much appreciated!
Great walking tour. Very entertaining guide Francesca, able to keep the large group engaged. We enjoyed it so much we took a second tour with her the next day.
Sanna was truly an exceptional guide! She was extremely knowledgeable, easy to understand and extremely pleasant. She far exceeded our expectations! Would highly recommend this tour with Sanna!
Francesca was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and fun. Moved at a great pace. Very enjoyable for us.
We thoroughly enjoyed our city center walking tour with Alberto! He was engaging and a great storyteller. We learned a lot about so many Parisian sights!
Great walking tour! We learned so much about the history and all the stories of Paris with Nancy! So fun to do.
This was a fun, informative way to begin our trip to Paris. Saw some of the major sights, got an insight into the history of the city. Throughly enjoyed our guide, Daniel, who spoke excellent English, had lots of tidbits of knowledge to share and a great sense of humor. Many thanks, can recommend.
Really friendly informative and interesting guide. She took account of the boiling heat and I think we all really enjoyed the tour. Would definitely recommend it.
The guided tour by Francesca was very good. We covered most relevant aspects of the monuments. It is a bit of a long walk (being a 3 hour tour !), but a good way to get oriented with central Paris and its key destinations.
Francesca did a great job keeping it fun and knowledgeable. We all learned a lot! The history went pretty deep which we appreciated.
Professional informative walking tour with lots of interesting facts and humour thrown in for good measure, would highly recommend for anyone who wants a quick highlights tour of Paris
Alister was an excellent tour guide! A great voice made for the profession. He was very professional and knowledgeable about history and was a pleasure to listen too. Highly recommend the tour!

I had a wonderful time walking around Paris with Sanna as our tour guide. She knows so much about the history behind the landmarks we visited and shared it in a way that was fun and easy to follow.
We walked from about 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. It was a fairly long walk, but Sanna made sure we had chances to rest our feet along the way. She also shared lots of interesting stories about France—definitely nothing boring!
I actually booked this tour because a friend of mine, who loves history, highly recommended it after taking it years ago. I'm so glad I listened. My teenage son came with me, and he was completely engaged and all ears whenever Sanna was talking, which says a lot!
We enjoyed the tour so much that we immediately booked another walking tour with the same company, and we were thrilled to find out that Sanna would be our guide again. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Paris.
Very knowledgeable and interesting tit bits added to the ganeral overview
Have been on many tours. This was one of the best
Daniel was a great tour guide in all respects. Highly recommend. Very in depth knowledge, excellent communication skills, great sense of humour.
Excellent tour, excellent guide, very knowledgeable and very articulate
My wife and I are tour guides at a presidential Library and appreciate the extra care our guide, Sarah performed
Informative, informal and relaxed tour of Paris centre. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgable and entertaining in bringing history and facts to life.
This was a wonderful walking tour, it was easy to hear and engage with our guide, Saana, who brought Paris to life with captivating storytelling. Our children were absolutely mesmerized, listening intently throughout—a testament to her engaging narration and genuine passion for the subject.
Saana's knowledge of history was impressive, and the fascinating tales told appealed to both adults and children alike.
Even though there are no head sets, it was easy to hear as she has speaker.
We would absolutely recommend this tour to know knowledge about various historical buildings in Paris.
We had a wonderful time touring Paris with Alister! The walking tour was informative, engaging, and full of fun historical facts and stories that really brought the city to life. We especially loved seeing Notre Dame and exploring several beautiful areas of Paris along the way. Alister was knowledgeable, funny, and kept the group entertained throughout the tour. Despite the heat, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and the midway water stop was such a thoughtful and appreciated touch.
