We had a great day touring the sites of Paris! Our guide was Simone and he was so friendly and full of knowledge. He made learning about the sites, history and even the metro system fun. He had great humour too.
The great thing about the tour was that we were a small group which made it nice to talk to everyone on the tour.
You do walk a lot!! So make sure to wear comfy shoes :)

Be on time.
It's a walking / subway train tour you wouldn't want to miss.
This tour highlights the important Paris points of interest in a nutshell. Warning: If you are not into walking, you will not enjoy this tour.
I totally enjoyed everything, especially our tour guide.

This was a good tour. I have done it before in Paris. Guide was kind, informative and kept great pace. We hit all the highlights but couldn’t spend time in Monmarte and the Louvre was closed so it was mostly information about many things but not always actually experiencing them. Cafe chosen for the break was not great. Americanized, far away from interesting points. Would prefer a nicer choice.

Highly recommend! Valerie was a great guide. My wife and I were able to check multiple things off our list that we wanted to do. We learned how to use the metro which we were afraid to do on our own and they even gave us one extra ride to get back to our hotel. We saw Montmarte, walked through a lot of Paris, saw the notre dame and Eiffel Tower. Even got a 1 hour seine river ticket good for a year. We were too tired after the Eiffel Tower and went the next day. The dock is right by the Eiffel Tower if you want to end with that. We did the one without louvre and it was around 4-5 hours. Expect to walk around 10,000 steps.

Make sure to wear very good walking shoes- it covers a lot of the city - Felix was an excellent guide- learned so much about history and saw beautiful sights along the way. Very comprehensive tour of France with all the main attractions highlighted. Louvre was incredible- but you don’t get much time in there. The best things about tours is that the group does not wait in the long lines to get into these places like you would if you went on your own. Having a knowledgeable guide is worth every penny! Highlights were Montmarte- Sacre Coure- the Lourve - the Eiffel Tower. Highly recommend

Belen was our guide and she was absolutely wonderful! She had so much information and insight on the history of France and Versailles.

We really enjoyed this tour. Antoine was a kind, friendly and fun guide with a constant stream of informative information and anecdotes about the route, buildings and art. Well worth the money and it was hugely beneficial to beat the queues at the Louvre. We enjoyed the river cruise the next day too.

Felix is an excellent tour guide! He is adept at combining historical information with humor to make this a tour worth taking
