Margot was full of knowledge and expertise…amazing tour and at a very cheap price
Flo was an incredibly experienced guide, having lived in Paris for over 40 years. She started off with the history of the city's creation and evolution, beginning with the construction of the Roman walls. The tour covered everything from ancient history to modern fashion brands and included all the iconic tourist spots and landmarks. For first-timers like me and my wife, it was a fantastic introduction to the city. Flo’s way of explaining things was both funny and engaging. She encouraged us to ask questions and was very knowledgeable, answering everything in detail. She even made us guess some answers, which made the tour interactive and fun. I’d definitely recommend it!

Full description
This tour brings you to Paris’ top landmarks, in English, in a small group, rain or shine. Our tour is popular for so many good reasons.
This tour takes you from the backstreets of Notre Dame through historical Paris and to the hidden underground of the Louvre palace. We see the old island where Paris was born, Notre Dame, Sainte Chapelle, Conciergerie, the Pont Neuf bridge, and Old Louvre and New Louvre.
We also see hidden gems. Like the French Mint. The Palace of the Immortals. Kilometer Zero. That underground wall of the 1300's And so on.
Meet Napoleon, the sun-king, Marie-Antoinette, Quasimodo the hunchback and so many Paris legends - both imaginary and historic.
Because this tour is in a small group, the guide can answer all your questions. How was Paris born? Why is Notre Dame so important ? do the French like Napoleon to this day? Can you help us with photos? Where should we have dinner?
