About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Tourist6860960 contributionsEfficient way to see the main sites + get your touristy photos in one go, but not at all worth the moneyI paid ~$50 bucks for this tour, singificantly more than I would for a normal "free walking tour with tips at the end", in the hopes of getting a more substantive tour with a more knowledgeable tour guide. Instead, the guide didn't offer any more information than I would expect from one of those basic free walking tours, and couldn't answer follow-up questions well. The only benefit of the tour whatsoever was to be efficiently herded through the metro to the main photo-friendly spots (Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Arc du Triomph, etc.), which frankly I think any reasonably organized person could plan themselves, or cover through a hop-on hop-off bus, and we still had to pay for our own metro passes anyway. If you literally just landed here, might be nice to be shown how to use the metro with a guide, but it isn't that hard to get the hang of. Don't enjoy being this negative, but I really paid a lot more than I normally would for such a tour to provide fair pay for the tour guide and avoid the predatory practices I've heard about how free walking tours may pay guides, but I don't feel like this was a superior experience at all.Written November 30, 2024

We were able to book one day before and the instructions were clear and there was no hiccups in the tour. We met Adva and she was very knowledgable and patient. She would tell us everything we needed to do and we even learned how to ride the train in Paris. That was the best thing because we felt like real Parisians. There was a lot of walking involved but we loved seeing all the places we traveled to! Thank you for an amazing tour!Written July 17, 2024

This was a fantastic way to see Paris. Sam was our guide and she was brilliant - she’s a French Canadian and actor/performer who has lived in Paris for about 5 years. The tour took in pretty much everything and was great value, lasting a full 4 and a half hours. There was plenty of time for photos, and a stop for coffee and pastries. We finished with crepes in the Latin Quarter. We will recommend this to everyone!

Great Tour. Our guide was Ewan, he was very knowledgeable in regards to the history of France & Paris. We spent some time in Montmarte then after a short break we moved onto city centre, the Latin Quarter before culminating at the Louvre. We would recommend this tour to anyone who has never been to Paris or if you are here for a short time…well worth the money

Just a fantastic tour for anyone looking to get an overview of the top dints one the city. Highly recommend that first time visitors book this tour on the first day, along with one or two other “must do” activities for following days. There will be something from the 30 Plus tour they you will want to return to later in your stay.
Alba, our guide, was simply perfect. She was friendly, humorous, informative without sounding like a history professor, patient, and accommodating to all. If you have her as a guide, you are in great hands.

This is gonna be a rather honest & long review and what motivated me was… Lea.
i had a phenomenal experience w. both Daniel & Lea. I was lucky enough to book this experience with realistic people who were extremely understanding. Not being from Paris & having sucky ass t-mobile service, Daniel was able to connect me with Lea, who was communicative & compassionate towards her group. Lea was down to earth & really patient with my mom in law who has really bad neuropathy on her feet (don’t worry, she actually enjoys walking & received her birthday foot rub once it was over lol). Lea was able to educate me so well regarding the landmarks we visited, that i was able to educate my family members! This was my first AirBnb tour… my first tour EVER actually & it was amazing. I really enjoyed the part where we took the train, it felt super authentic. I’m from NYC where drivers are loco, tons of walking, public transportation so I felt comfortable, especially because Lea made sure we didn’t get lost and stuck together. Wanna know a funny story? I was wearing a neon green long sleeve shirt, so my group had no issue keeping up with us lol. I appreciated the fact that Lea spoke to everyone in the group, she made me feel welcomed and not like this was just a job.
Lea, thank you so much for an amazing experience. you made my mother in law’s 16 year old dream come true. She was able to finally come to Paris and truly experience an activity like this. Thank you for being our photographer (3 pictures with my neon top). I wish you nothing but the best & whenever you’re in NYC, lmk & i’ll definitely treat you. 🎭
Daniel, thank you so much for contacting me and helping me get to Lea when I was low-key having an anxiety attack because of my service. I can’t tell you how grateful I am because it was at a perfect time. I’m humbled. truly. 🙏🏽
I would ABSOLUTELY do this again. I would definitely recommend this activity. I would also recommend bringing a light jacket like Daniel says beforehand, weather can surprise you at times. Personally, I stood as long as i could but my mom in law ended up leaving & I didn’t feel weird with the group. I really had a blast with them. It wasn’t weird. it was a chill & small group. With all that being said, thank you so much. Yellow is out #MyGroupGetsIt 🤍

What a wonderful overview of the city, my husband, 2 teenage kids and myself did the walking tour today. He did a wonderful job, not only did he know all about the major tourist attractions he also knows lots of smaller fun facts. It moved along at a good pace, the weather was terribly hot and after about 2 hours in the blazing heat 36 Celsius I asked if we could take a break and sit down and have a cold drink. I was so pleased that he accommodated us. We were all rejuvenated and finished the tour. He was very knowledgeable and friendly.

We had our tour with Claire, she was an incredible story teller and an amazing guide. There is no way we would have covered so much in a day. She knew a lot about the history and had cute stories behind some of the more quirky things around the city.
Claire also shared great tips for navigating the metro and recommendations for restaurants.
Highly recommend doing this on your first day, it's a great way to orient yourself in the city.

We loved this tour!! Andrew our guide was very knowledgeable, kept the group moving, was patient with photo requests, train ticket questions and was highly entertaining. I would highly recommend this tour as we had people of all ages in our personal group (22-58) and EVERYONE raved about it. This was such a great way to see several of the top sights and give us an idea of things we may want to spend more time at later. Book it, you will not be disappointed!!

Rami was amazing! Got up early in the morning and walked over to the meeting point of this tour. From the first stop to the last, Rami was so informative and really knew his stuff and was very careful on seeing to it that we all got on and off at the correct metro stops. He was also very good at letting us know to watch our belongings to prevent being pick pocketed and because we did this tour on our first day in Paris, was also a great way to learn how to get around the city. He took us to all the highlights and gave great commentary at each stop. He even stopped at a bakery for us to enjoy some delicious treats! I would highly recommend this tour!

Andrew was our guide for the day and let me just say that he was nothing short of amazing!! Andrew was personable, getting to know and speak with all of the guest. He was a wonderful storyteller, providing so much historical detail on our destinations. The pace was manageable and he made sure to keep track of each of us. I’m sure that was challenging because we were like marbles rolling around the streets of Paris and he kept us corralled. 😀 The personal touches, especially the meringue are unforgettable. This was a stop-over trip for me, to include Belgium and the Netherlands and this experience packed in so many landmark and historical locations, I couldn’t have asked for anything more. We were lucky enough to have this experience on a wonderfully sunny spring day. This experience is a must!!

Hi. We are staying at garden Elysee, 12 rue Saint didier. Will it be easy to find/ get to the meeting point from there?
Written July 16, 2023
Yes. They meet right outside a metro stop, so it is easily accessible from just about anywhere in the city. We stayed close to where you are and it only took a few minutes to get there.

Yes they did have Spanish only tours as well!

Is this tour in French or English?
Written August 21, 2022
We took it in English. Our guide was a transplanted, highly knowledgeable, articulate American. Believe it prompts you to choose from multiple language options.

Where exactly do we meet our guide for a 3 PM tour. It says outside the Anvers Metro. Will the guide have a sign? How will we find them?
Written June 28, 2022
For me, this info was sent in an email a day or two before the tour, along with a photo of the kiosk outside the metro station, which was the meeting place. There was also a photo of the tour guide we could expect to see. Very helpful. Have fun!
