Thank you, Walid!

Brittany_P, Dec 2025

Oh boy, it was freezing, but Walid took us to some great places. The lights were spectacular and we were able to buy from the oldest bakery in Paris (delicious!). He even took us to a small Christmas Market at the end. Great tour!

Lou was amazing! She...

Lou was amazing! She showed me the beautiful lights around town, and was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of each area we walked. She was also super accommodating!

Finding Christmas Treasures

Juliette my guide, has a wonderful way of showing you the special beauty of Christmas in Paris. Her knowledge about the areas we see and her beautiful French add to this fabulous walk around Paris’ amazing Christmas must see locations.

Amazing experience and tour!

Kerrigan_O, Dec 2023

My husband and I absolutely LOVED this tour - probably the best thing we did during our time in Paris. Walid was the perfect guide and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour to anyone coming to Paris! Thank you!

Thank you so much Kerrigan! You also made the tour great for me, and I hope the pictures Briggs took came out great :)

Do not book unless 100% weather is clear

Tina_T, Dec 2023

Do not schedule this unless you are POSITIVE the weather will be good. It was raining and they would only refund half. We waited hoping it might clear up. But at the time for the tour it was pouring rain. Weather looked ok 24 hours out, but walking tour in pouring rain does not make sense. 50% refund is not accept. I was punished for booking ahead. Don’t make my mistake.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Hi Tina, The 24-hour policy is here to ensure we can pay our guides and that we don't block their time for nothing. The tour is at 5 pm, you could have checked the weather app the day before and said, "it's not for me", we wouldn't have been offended. However, you wanted to cancel 4h before the tour. We offered to reschedule for the next day, and you agreed and then changed your mind again 3 hours before the tour. We offered another reschedule, but unfortunately, you had to leave Paris. I know the weather wasn't the greatest that week, but come on, it's Paris in December. It's part of the experience, and we would have been smart about it (entering stores, churches, taking the train...). We had another family take the tour that day, and they had fun. We felt bad that you couldn't follow the tour, so we offered a 50% refund (although we could not have done so based on the cancellation policy). I'm sorry you felt punished, but we're a small business, and we try to be as flexible and understanding as much as possible, but we also have to make a living.

Fun holiday walking tour

Lynda_O, Dec 2023

Very interesting your. Walked to holiday markets and saw Christmas lights and learned some history. I would remind this tour

Emily, our tour guide was so knowledgeable and kind. She made the walking trip so much fun. It was a treat to see the lights of Paris on Christmas and to have such a great walking tour.
