The tour was very interesting and we learned alot about Paris. The only negative was for myself there was too much standing. I found it difficult. I realize she needs to stop and talk with us but I wish we would have had a chance to sit once in a while.

Pierre met us at l’hotel de ville and took us to Notre Dame as well as several other places on l’ile de la cite as well as the Louvre. He was very energetic, engaging and a wonderful storyteller. I loved the types of rare tidbits he shared that got us to know his beloved city better.

It was a good tour, very complete and the tour guide gave us a lot of information about Paris’ history over the time! However, I missed some kind of actual information about the city itself, such as good neighborhoods to eat, typical food, places to walk around, local areas…

We take note of all this to continue improving our service. Thank you.

Lucie was AMAZING! She knew the history of Paris very well, gave us some fun facts, shared the perfect amount of history, and gave us great recommendations. Her perspective on the city was phenomenal and I can honestly say this is the BEST walking tour I’ve ever done!

Jay it is a very amazing person. He is much more prepared and the way he did the tour was funny easy going and good. I specially like when he took us to a places were no tourists were. And i loved the way he talked about "Henry"and the "lady with the smile". It's a funny way to remember many thinks. Congratulations Aka Jay! I hope i can meet you again in another Walking Tour.

One of the most entertaining yet highly informational walking tours we have attended in Europe so far. Dawie was attentive to each one of us and had funny anecdotes about most places. The group was small, maybe because we went during off season, but that was great for us because we were able to interact with each other well. 100% recommend as your first walking tour in Paris.

We had a very thoughtful guide who made sure that we'll be able to learn a lot about Paris. He also was fun and very approachable. It makes huge difference to see the city through the lenses of person who truly loves it and more than happy to share their experience. We definitely were impressed and enjoyed the all the time we spend together. Best of luck.

This is a must in your trip to Paris. First thing you should do, no doubt. Thomas is a great guide, you can see how passionate he is about his work. He takes you back and forth in time through Paris’ history, while you walk around its most significative buildings. Most importantly, he shares many tips and tricks that will really make your visit to the city better than any other tourist who didn’t take this tour.

The free walking tour in Paris exceeded my expectations! The knowledgeable guide showcased iconic landmarks, hidden gems, and shared fascinating historical anecdotes. The route was well-planned, and the tour offered a perfect balance of information and leisurely exploration. Highly recommended!

I can't remember the name of our tour guide but his name is from Normandy, anyway the tour was everything I expected it to be and more, it lasted 2 hours so a little less than promised, regardless of that the explanations were great, he had an answer to every single question and was also a really funny guy, I 100% recommend taking this tour

We had Dawie and he truly was the best tour guide we have had in a long time. This was our 7th tour in our trip through Europe and the one we won’t forget. He was so thorough yet comical, he was very engaging and energetic kept everyone paying attention. We also enjoyed the punctuality, attention to detail regarding warning us about pickpocketing, how to safely cross the roads, etc. We learned so much about Paris and wished we had booked more tours with him! Highly recommend!!!

Make sure to take this tour with Thomas. It is just amazing. It was the highlight of my visit to Paris. The best walking tour I ever had (and I have had a lot). Beside being very handsome, Thomas knows how to keep you entertained with good jokes and interesting information while visiting some of the most important sites in Paris. Thanks Thomas for this wonderful tour .

It was great, Dawie was very informative and gave a great introduction to the city (I recommend doing it at the start of your trip). Tour helps you decide what to do for the rest of your Paris stay. Definitely didn’t cover everything in detail, it’s pretty basic but awesome to be free (with a tip!)

Thomas was magnificent! He was insightful and humourous (British style so you have to get used to it). We particularly liked the way he did some sketches all by himself to get the stories across (you will get it if you know a little bit of French). We were truly happy with the tips and hacks he gave for Senne cruise and literally showing the tunnel to bypass the queue to the Louvre. Do this you won't regret. Oh ya, instead of a yellow umbrella, Thomas came in a minion bag and an Irish flag.

Gida jatorra, azalpen interesgarrik ta txapa askoipe. Zuhaitz geneologikok ta datak neurrin, ta garaien garaiko herritarran bizimodukin ta gizarte gaiekin lotura aproposak. Ateoa da, ta eskertzea jainkoa gora ta bera ez ibiltzea. Ta kontatzen dittun kuriositatek e interesgarrik. Pega bakarrak nahiko talde haundie ginela gaur, ta rekorridoa nahiko motza dala (deskribapenen azaldutakoa) Paris dan handiako. Translate this opinion into English.

Friendly guide, interesting explanations and lots of badges. Genealogical trees and dates in measure, and suitable connections with lifestyles and social issues in the people of the times. He is an atheist, and thank God for not walking. And the curiosities and interesting things he tells me. The only downsides are that we were quite a large group today, and that the route is quite short (explained in the descriptions) Paris is big. Opinion translated. Show original.

Alexa was a great guide. She was engaging and entertaining. She spike knowledgeably and was able to clear misconceptions about historical events. Alexa had a clear voice which was very ably projected through her speaker. She explained things well and asked whether we had any questions, engaging willingly with her audience, looking them in the eye and understanding difference between people. Her couple of pages of special notes and info about Paris were excellent, her ‘tips’ were very useful.

At the start of the tour our guide Thomas Carter asked us if we were ready for the best day of our lives. I won't go that far but I can say without hesitation it was certainly the best tour of my life. Thom delivered his impressive and seemingly infinite knowledge of Paris - a city he has only lived in for 6 years - with the wit, charm & effervescence of someone who truly loves history, culture and indeed people. From public executions to Emily in Paris, Thom knew it all. Superb guide

Thomas was excellent!! It went by so fast! We got a LOT of history, and he explained it in a funny way with pop culture references, making it easier to understand and remember. 10/10 recommended for those who want to look around and get to know Paris and its amazing history. Also a good opportunity to ask anything you want. Thomas was amazing!!!!!

Really good English tour with Eva! She was really fun, enthusiastic, and filled with specific details that made the tour fantastique! she was even carrying her iPad and showed us a lot of pictures of how it used to be for reference. Although it was a really big group, we enjoyed Paris streets a lot :)

Our walkative tour was really excellent. The Guide.. Eva she is friendly, interactive, and extremely passionate what she does. While in the walk tour not only she spoke about the french and Roman history about all the famous monuments but also shared a lot tips how to plan your visit at Paris. We covered the main city center places e.g , Paris Tourist office. Norte dam cathedral, Palasi Royal, louvre museum, the glass pyramid, and the lock bridge. A must recommended tour on 1st day at Paris.
