We have lovely tour guides who told us all about Notre Dame and MontMarte. Very informative and gave a personal touch. I would do more of the tours if they had them in more cities! Superb!!!!! More

Camille was the perfect guide to Montmartre, I wanted to move there right away! Camille really knew Montmartre, and the rest of Paris, and gave us a very interesting tour indeed. Lots of information about Montmartre and the different landmarks there. The tour is free, you can give a tip after the tour if you like and trust me, you... More

We went on both free tours of Montmartre (Philippe) and Notre Dame area (Alex) Both were excellent in their own unique way. And both were special because both were given by locals in that neighborhood! Philippe was very sassy and witty in his tour that you can't help but laugh and listen during the tour. Montmartre, which was already an... More

I took 2 of Discover Walks free walking tours on this trip, one of the Opera Area and one at Notre Dame. Both were fascinating. The tour leaders, Phillipe and Alex, were steeped in knowledge of the areas they took us to. We learned a lot in a very short time for very little money. We did give them generous... More

Our family took a private tour with Bertrand and our four children are all still repeating the stories we learnt. We had requested a tour which concentrated on the people of people and memorable stories from history and our Latin Quarter tour did exactly this. We all enjoyed learning about an interesting part of Paris and had fun. It was... More

I wanted to see a different area of Paris and my friend has an interest in interior design. We did the walking tour of "Les marches aux puces de St-Ouen". Located in the far reaches of the 18th, we had a great time learning about this fascinating place from the young & enthusiastic Thomas. Despite his youth, he really knew... More

We did the Montmarte and Latin Quarter tours with Alex. Both were fun, informative and excellent. Alex was born and raised across the street from Notre Dame and speaks perfect English. His insight and unique stories were very entertaining. I would highly recommend these tours and to tip generously as the tours are free. Its a win-win. More

We could not recommend these great people highly enough, we did the Notre Dame tour and the Flea Market tour, in both cases we were delighted with the wonderful insights and local knowledge plus lots of tips and good advice about what to do in Paris More

Even though I had been to Paris before, I had always simply wandered aimlessly around. With Discover Walks I got the inside scoop from native Parisians. We took 4 out of 5 of their tours and they were all fantastic. The guides are smart, well informed, fluent in English,and totally charming. You haven't seen Paris until you've seen it with... More

Today is the last day of my first ever trip to Paris . I took the Marais tour with Eglantine and it was fabulous in so many ways. It was the perfect way to learn about Paris from both a historical perspective and current day. There were people in my group who had taken several other of these types of... More
