It was a lovely tour around some of the places you would not walk. Also the history of the city was really informative

Adam is truly a rock star in the tour industry — he sets the bar very high. We’ve taken many tours all over the world since my sons were ten (now they’re in their mid-20s), and they absolutely loved his tour.
He keeps everyone engaged and makes art come alive. Thanks to his guidance, I now understand what to look for in the three masterpieces at the Louvre — with a true artist’s appreciation. His coaching gave us a deeper understanding not only of the art, but also of Parisian culture. He helped us navigate the cultural differences and made everything feel much more comfortable as foreigners.
He is witty, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable — not an easy combination to find in one tour guide, but he truly has it all.
Now we can only hope your tour guide is Adam ��

Antoine was great! It is a long day but he kept it fun and interesting! Great activity to do when you don’t have a lot of time in Paris or a good first day activity to learn more about the city and get recommendations for the rest of your stay!

Informative and open tour guides with great attitudes and knowledge. Ahmed was an absolute dream and is clearly passionate about Paris which helped us be more passionate about it too. 10/10.
Viator customer · Kayla · Feb 23, 2026 Excellent
Very enjoyable, our guide Ahmed was excellent. The pace of the day was perfect. We were unable to do the boat trip due to the high river levels which was a shame but that didn’t detract from a great day.

The tour I learn how to move around Paris. I was able take the metro and walk see the beauty of Paris. I was able cruise through seine river in Paris at night it was amazing seeing the city light of Paris.

We met our guide Antoine just before 9am and he concluded the tour at 17:01. He was an absolute star; he’s extremely friendly, he’s funny and his knowledge was unbelievable; we learnt so much in such a short space of time. I can’t recommend this tour enough. You’ll see so much of Paris, from the quaint little spots to the hustle and bustle of the City. We were taken to a local cafe for a short break and also had the opportunity to visit a local cafe or restaurant for lunch. The choice he recommended did not disappoint. The Louvre was busy as anticipated but the rest of the tour was quiet and relaxed, the busiest parts were the journeys in between spots on the Metro!<br /><br />Don’t hesitate to book this tour! And thank you Antoine!
