Our guide Tamara was very knowledgable about the places that we saw in Paris. We started out at Concorde, went down Champs Elysee, down Montaigne and all these little side streets I would have never known were there. She made a point to talk to each group (and in my case individually) about where we came from, it was very... More

We took the City free tour with Chris and found him to be the perfect guide. He is knowledgable, interested and humorous. Would recommend any tour that he leads. Also took a tour with Boris of the Bastille which I could not say the same. More

As a couple new to Paris - the free walking tours were a great way to orientate ourselves to an area and get to learn about the history at the same time. Chris and Tamara both were fantastic guides who have great amounts of knowledge and love answering questions. They are very laid back (in a good way) and personable... More

I want to thank this team, and especially Boris, for such a great experience in Paris! Me and my boyfriend went on the Marais Bastille tour with Boris, and were amazed with all the interesting stories he told us and all the beauties of the city he showed us. We were asking a lot of questions about the buildings and... More

Just wanted to add my praise. First time on a walking tour and the idea of it being free and tip based was new to me. I thought there must be a "catch" somewhere. Large groups or putting pressure on buying something There is not. First went on the Montmartre tour with Chris - small group and wonderful commentary. A... More

Chris is very knowledgeable! He is probably one of the better tour guides of Paris. His choice of facts is not about just the touristy things. He studies his topic. He weaves history and intellect into his tour. He can easily command a cost for this intelligence and the path he takes. On top of that he gives part of... More

We went on the classic walk with Tamara while in paris. She was the sweetest girl who made a point to talk to each little group separately within the whole group, apart from, of course, having decent knowledge about the places she was taking us to. she was considerate and patient too as she waited for another 15-20 minutes, before...

We went on the Montmartre tour with Chris today, who was nothing short of excellent. His knowledge backed up by his visual aids/photos was impressive. He was a brilliant guide, considerate of some less mobile individuals and rested often giving them a chance to catch up. He was interactive and invited discussion and questions. He was extremely friendly too. I... More
