Alejandro was an excellent guide...has huge knowledge and delivered the passion.He enjoys his work and took good care of the group..even though it was many steps it was well paced. He also told us how to get back to our hotel using the metro...this was a wonderful..informative tour and the group members interacted well. This tour is highly recommended.

Completely satisfied with the tour specifics/highlights and our guide. Loved using the underground and while not visiting inside the sights it was a way to determine future visits. Our guide was pleasant and very informative. I would do this again. Very satisfied with the guide selection and the tour high.

The first stop is Montmartre, where highlights include the magnificent Sacre-Coeur Basilica. Next, stop by the Hôtel de Ville to learn more about Paris’ history before continuing to the Arc de Triomphe, Louvre Museum, Eiffel Tower, and Moulin Rouge, all of which you can admire from the outside.

Stroll around the atmospheric Latin Quarter, the picturesque Jardin des Tuileries, and along the famous Champs-Élysées before admiring the sights along the Seine riverfront. Finally, visit the Île de la Cité to see the Notre-Dame Cathedral before ending your tour in central Paris.

A sunny, beautiful day in Paris! What more could you want!

Karen_G, Sep 2026
My best friend Mikey and I really enjoyed this walking tour of Paris’s best sights. We had a small group, which made the experience highly interactive and gave us plenty of opportunities to ask questions—a huge plus compared to larger tours of 15–20 people. Our tour guide, Levon, was absolutely the best! He was warm, funny, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. We felt completely comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire tour. A massive thank you to Levon for making our day exploring Paris so much fun and incredibly worthwhile!

Noah was great!

Anthony_P, Sep 2026
One of the best tours we’ve ever done. Noah was amazing — knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about Paris. He showed us all the major sights while sharing great stories and local insights. Highly recommend doing this tour on your first day. It gives you a perfect overview of the city and helps you understand what Paris has to offer for the rest of your tri

Levon is the man!

Annie_S, Sep 2026
If you do this tour, you want Levon to be your guide! Funny, helpful and knows all the fun facts about Paris. The half day was enjoyable and not too long. Had a blast!

This experience was super...

Kimberly_E, Sep 2026
This experience was super cool! You get to know a lot about the city. There are stops along the way where you can grab a bite to eat too. Our tour guide Olivia was amazing and knew so much about the city

Alejandro did a great job...

Leslie_G, Sep 2026
Alejandro did a great job providing information and tidbits of all the sites we stopped at. Was very patient with some members of the group that frequently wandered off to take photos. Also pivoted becasue the Pope was in town and we couldn’t follow the typical tour.

Wonderful

John_H, Sep 2026
Beautiful city, beautiful sights. Lovely architecture, all the important Paris sites and extras make it worth it.

personal tour

Shirley_A, Sep 2026
Felt like a personal tour, Noah was really interesting and informative, good break for lunch, so glad we booked, delighted to see an actual Wallace Fountain!

Must do!

Heidi_D, Sep 2026
Noah was excellent and an engaging storyteller. Don’t hesitate if thinking about this tour. We had a nice pit stop for lunch at a lovely cafe that offered fresh baked croissants, quiche, and Jambon sandwiches.

Paris w Friends

Donna_W, Sep 2026
Saw a lot, more walking than I anticipated especially up and down the stairs . Guide was knowledgeable but I wouldn’t advertise it as a fun guide . We never laughed or saw or did anything entertaining . So a bit misleading there. Otherwise a good tour and learned how to use the metro

Great way to get your bearings in Paris

Christopher_G, Sep 2026
Our tour guide Lenor was great, blending knowledge and humour into his tour. Would recommend highly to anyone who is a bit daunted by finding the tourist sites and navigating their way around Paris.

Great Overview of Paris

Joan_H, Sep 2026
Great walking tour including using the Metro. Small group and a knowledgeable guide. Our guide provided bathroom stops and opportunities for snacks.

A good day for a long walk.

John_C, Sep 2026
For one day in Paris, we got a full taste of the sights and sounds. At times, we felt a bit rushed. Our guide was so friendly.

Amazing tour guide

Demetrio_M, Sep 2026
Our tour guide, Levon, was amazing! He knew so much about Paris. I learned so much and saw so much during this walking tour. And you could tell how much he loves his city and showing it to visitors. We had an amazing time!

Really Terrific, but please use a microphone and ear pieces.

Tammy_T, Sep 2026
Really great. My only suggestion is for the guide to use a microphone and the guests to use ear pieces. For the price and duration, the tour could spring for water, coffee, etc., at the break.

Waslee was Amazing!

Joan_B, Sep 2026
Our tour guide Waslee was top notch! Our tour on September 21, 2026 ran into multiple train delays and he navigated our tour professionally and with patience. He was knowledgeable, sweet, and fun to talk with. We HIGHLY recommend, he took great care of us. Thank you Waslee you were awesome! Best of luck to you in your future endeavors!

Visited all the sights...

Linda_K, Sep 2026
Visited all the sights outlined in the description. Guide was informative and adapted the pace to our needs. We were disappointed that our guide had only lived in Paris one year. Much of the narrative was prepared in advance.

Great tour!

Christopher_G, Sep 2026
We had a great time on our tour with Noah! He was friendly, engaging, and did a great job explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand and interesting. He made us feel comfortable, answered all our questions, and really made the experience memorable. We would definitely recommend Noah as a tour guide!!

Great way to see lots of...

whvj4jz7vt, Sep 2026
Great way to see lots of key sites around Paris in a short time. Our guide Noah was very helpful and was happy to help us with Metro tickets. He was also a great guide - very knowledgeable and kept a good pace for the day. We found the walking relatively easy, although it was uphill for the first part, it became a lot easier once that was done.

Great views & info

Kerry_D, Sep 2026
It was a lot of walking but had many stops so it wasn't hard. We used the metro system, which added to the tour experience. Levon, our guide, was GREAT! He knew the history of the area & delivered it in very charming ways. He was very friendly & helpful!!

Waseel is the best!

Lindsay_G, Sep 2026
Waseel was amazing!! Super knowledgeable and so sweet! We had the best time seeing all the important sites of Paris!

Trenton_C, Sep 2026
We had such a great experience exploring Paris with Noah on our first day. He was incredibly knowledgeable, but also just really easy to talk to and made the whole tour feel relaxed and personal. He gave us a great feel for the city and, just as importantly, helped us get comfortable getting around and using the Metro. Starting our trip this way made the rest of Paris feel so much less intimidating. We’re really glad we booked this tour with Noah and would absolutely recommend him!

A lot of history

TeresaB_R, Sep 2026
A lot of French history in a short amount of time. It was amazing to see places that I’ve read about in a book and seen pictures of but now I’ve seen the real thing!

This is great if you want...

Susan_T, Sep 2026
This is great if you want to know the places in Paris. Stories behind the places are not too strong, no time to linger at each spot. It’s efficient, hit, photo and go

Renate_S, Sep 2026
The tour was awesome! We learned so much about the sights in Paris. We even stopped for two snacks. Our tour guide, Olivia, was phenomenal! You can tell she really enjoys her job. I would highly recommend this tour. Ask for Olivia.

Great introduction to the city!

John_O, Sep 2026
Olivia was a wonderful tour guide with great enthusiasm, impressive knowledge and conveyance of information of her newfound home. We enjoyed every minute!

This was a great overall...

BilliJo_S, Sep 2026
This was a great overall tour. We were able to See so much and learn so much more than we ever could have by ourselves. Our tour guy was very supportive informative, humorous and accommodating. We would definitely recommend it!!

Great Tour - Book with Levon.

Devin_H, Sep 2026
Fantastic way to see the sights in Paris with limited time. Levon was a phenomenal tour guide and very funny. We’d highly recommend asking for him when you book a tour. Շնորհակալ եմ!

Awesome tour and we...

Awesome tour and we highly recommend! We did this tour right when we arrived in Paris, which I would recommend. We saw a lot of sites in the 4-hours and learned a lot about Paris. Highly recommend!
