Victor (age 9) thought it was the best experience of our six-day trip to Paris. He learned a lot about the city and how to spot details on monuments and buildings. It was easy taking him around the city on all the other days, too—after all, he could hunt for Space Invaders! Rami, our guide, was outstanding; he was fully committed to giving Victor the time and encouragement to get involved. Highly recommended.

Itinerary
We start at the Stravinsky Fountain, where whimsical sculptures move like pieces of a giant puzzle. Here, your mission begins!
We pass by the Centre Pompidou - a bold architectural marvel in the heart of Paris. Home to Europe’s largest modern art museum, it houses masterpieces by Picasso, Kandinsky, and Duchamp.
We reach the Defender of Time, who holds the secret to your next challenge. It is a mesmerizing mechanical sculpture in Paris' Quartier de l’Horloge. Designed by Jacques Monestier, this kinetic masterpiece once came to life as a warrior battling the elements—wind, water, and earth—every hour.
Along the way, we uncover hidden symbols at the House of Nicolas Flamel is the oldest stone house in Paris, built in 1407 by the famed alchemist and philanthropist.
Les Bains Guerbois was once a luxurious 19th-century public bathhouse. A favorite retreat for Parisian high society, it later transformed into a stylish hotel and cultural hotspot. Here we find our next clue!
We will take a well-earned break at a charming French bakery, where kids can enjoy a delicious treat. Bo&Mie is a must-visit bakery for an authentic Parisian snack, blending tradition with creativity.
L’Écoute is a striking sculpture by Henri de Miller, located near the Saint-Eustache Church in Paris. Blending surrealism with urban charm, it’s a hidden gem that adds a touch of mystery and whimsy to the Les Halles district.
We step into the stunning Saint-Eustache Church, which has connections to Mozart, Richelieu, Molière, and Berlioz. This historic site hosted the funeral of Mozart’s mother, the baptism of Richelieu and Molière, and the grand premiere of Berlioz’s Te Deum with 950 musicians.
Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection is a stunning fusion of history and contemporary art in the heart of Paris. Once a bustling commodities exchange, this 18th-century rotunda has been transformed into a cutting-edge museum showcasing François Pinault’s world-class modern art collection.
Jardin du Palais Royal is a hidden oasis in the heart of Paris, offering a perfect blend of elegance and tranquility. Surrounded by historic arcades and the iconic black-and-white Colonnes de Buren installation that provide a playful setting for the next clue.
La Comédie-Française is France’s most prestigious theater, a symbol of artistic excellence since 1680. Located near the Palais Royal, it is home to the world’s oldest active theater troupe, founded by Molière himself.
The Louvre is the world’s most famous museum, a treasure trove of art and history nestled in a former royal palace. Home to iconic masterpieces like the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo, its vast galleries span centuries and civilizations. Here we reveal the secret of the quest!
A jewel of Napoleonic grandeur, the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel stands as a gateway to history. With its elegant pink marble columns and gilded chariot on top, this triumphal arch celebrates military victories while offering a stunning view leading to the Louvre.
We solve the last puzzle! Here you can decide if you want to continue the journey by boat (at your own expense).

This was a marvelous activity for kids! LJ was truly wonderful; he kept the kids' attention for the entire time (and kindly took a detour for a cold drink for my daughter on our very hot day). It got us all to pay attention to details we would not have ordinarily seen and was a welcome break from Paris' "big sights." I cannot recommend this enough for people traveling with kids.
This tour was perfect for my 10 yr old son and 7 yr old daughter. It was engaging, interactive and educational. We all learned some really cool things about Paris and those who live there. We ate scrumptious snacks while solving puzzles and rhymes. I would highly recommend this tour for any with 5-16 year olds. The fun spans many ages. Thank you Remi for being the best guide we have had!
A friend recommended this tour and I am so happy we did it. Rami kept our kids engaged and entertained throughout the entire experience - he was excellent! My husband and I learned a lot along the way too. My kids recognized and were on the hunt for hidden art for the rest of our trip. I highly recommend this tour for families with kids (ages 6+) to learn about Paris in a fun, nontraditional way.
Lily was a wonderful and interactive tour guide. My 11 year old daughter really enjoyed the tour and so did I! She knew exactly where to go to get us right in front of all the art exhibits we were viewing.
We had a fantastic experience on the Paris Family Adventure Tour. Noée, our guide, was fun and engaging. Our 3 children, ages 11, 9, and 6 were a bit tired and jet lagged but she immediately captured their attention and had them fully committed to the quests for the entire 2 1/2 hours in the hot Paris sun. We saw different sights and learned interesting facts about buildings and monuments while taking in the streets of Paris. It was a great start to our trip and had the kids loving all that Paris has to offer.
My 9-year-old and I both loved this adventure! Even when we got home that evening, my son was asking to Google some of the places and fun facts he learned about. The framing of being on a quest was perfect: solving secret codes, working as a team with the other kids on the tour, observing details that we would've never seen on our own.
Our tour guide Rami was really thoughtful and knowledgeable about Paris and the places we saw. He made the tour really fun for our girls. I had no idea what to expect with the space invaders but afterwards with his help we downloaded the app and my 10 year old daughter loved spending the rest of our time in Paris finding them. So great to find out about that art scene and to have something to do as we walked around. Highly recommend this tour. Rami was fantastic!
My kids (5, 8 and 11) had SO much fun with Rami. He kept everyone entertained and moving and they were very into the adventure. We had flown from the States earlier that day and I was a little hesitant to book such an active experience but it was a great way for them to explore Paris for the first time (and took pressure off of us to entertain them when we were so tired!). They had fun looking for pixel art for the rest of the trip — we even saw lots in Strasbourg and Colmar. Very fun and highly recommend!
Fantastic experience-hunting for pixels was the best part of our trip! Thank you to Nowah, our great guide!
Sasha and LJ were great with my very energetic 4 boys. The tour was really fun, even with rain and colder temps. They kept the kids engaged, covered a lot of ground, and taught the kids a lot without it feeling like a traditional tour.
Rami was excellent. He was knowledgeable and very engaging with our 7 and 9 year old kids. Many thanks for a great experience. The kids especially loved it.
Excellent tour! Sasha was an incredible guide who really got the kids interested and invested in the “mission”. He is really great with the kids - talks to them like they’re adults, let them figure out clues and puzzles with only a little help from him and remembered all of their names which really helped keep them engaged. He really focuses the tour on the children. Tour was silly and interactive and my kids (ages 5 & 9) really enjoyed. This is a great tour if you want to walk some Parisian city streets and take in some culture. Note this tour is lesser known sites/“secret gems” of the city and is *not* a tour of famous Parisian sites so make sure you check the itinerary and know what you’re seeing so you’re not disappointed.
A unique, heart-warming, fun and engaging discovery of Paris with a great guide, Sasha. The children, 7 and 9 , were " detectives " on a quest to find "objects" in the streets of Paris.
Belle is amazing guide. She kept the kids super entertained while showing us things that were never on our list that we are so glad we saw. 5 stars. Do this with your kinda under 12!
Sasha and his quest are AWESOME. From the moment my daughter met him, she was engaged. He prepares beforehand and makes it a memorable experience. My daughter (9) talked about the quest with Sasha during our entire visit and even as we were heading to the airport. We met with him the first day that we arrived in Paris. This was one of the highlights of the trip. Sasha is a gem and his quests are memorable.
A very thoughtfully put together tour, we had a great time with Sasha and my sometimes initially shy daughter warmed to him immediately because he is so great with kids. We were the only ones on our tour so it was essentially private and he also modified the difficulty of the clues to her level (she's almost 6 so on the younger side). It was a super cool concept and we learned a lot. He's put a lot of heart into creating this and it shows!
Rami is very knowledgeable and patient with the children. He made the tour so enjoyable for the 5yo, 9 yo and 10yo. This is definitely an under rated (for now) tour for people who wish to see Paris on foot and yet have fun along the way and I will highly recommend this experience.
This was wonderful way to introduce kids to Paris. To look and see what's round them in a new way. We took our 9 year old grand daughter and she loved it and so did we. We saw things we never would have on our own. Sasha was a great guide and made it fun and informative. Fantastic for the young and young at heart.
Booked this after reading great reviews and it did not disappoint. My 6 year old daughter had the best time and couldn’t stop talking about “finding the pixels!” She liked it better than our day trip to Disney Paris and all of the other activities we booked during our week in London/ Paris. My husband and I also enjoyed seeing new parts of the city and taking a seat back while Sasha engaged our kids! I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting with children ages 5-10 ish!
This was an awesome tour to get my kids (7 and 11) engaged in discovering Paris. Joseph was our tour guide and kept my kids engaged the whole time. They loved it and my 7 year old didn't want it to end (despite a decent amount of walking we did). He said he'd rather do another tour like this than another day in Disneyland, which might be the highest praise one can receive from a 7 year old. Grown ups loved it as well. As someone who has been to Paris several times, I still discovered new sights and facts.
We’ve done many tours with kids and this was by far the most memorable. Loved that we saw smaller Paris streets, not just touristy stuff. Our 12yo said it was “awesome”.
Best tour we’ve ever done! We were able to see major landmarks as well as learn about smaller pieces of art and corners of the city I’ve never explored. Sasha made the tour so fun and engaging for our kids - the scavenger hunt was perfect. We also used it as a way to make exploring the city fun for the whole week. If you’re visiting Paris with kids, can’t recommend highly enough!
Sasha was awesome and had the kids engaged from the beginning. Knowledgeable, professional and patient. Highly recommend for anyone with kids <12 that want to save Paris. Sasha does his research, has a plan and does the tour right! Highly recommend
It was a great experience for my 8 year old son and for me to get to know more nice places in Paris.
We weren’t sure if our 5yo would last the full 3 hours, but he loved it! The mix of storytelling, walking, and fun tasks kept him entertained. Great value for families. Took the tour with my 9 year old and his cousin. They said it was the best thing we did in Paris. Super interactive and creative, and just long enough. We had real fun.
Can’t recommend this enough for families. It felt like part tour, part escape room, part spy mission. Our guide was enthusiastic and kind, and the little gift at the end was a lovely touch. Did the tour with my three kids (4, 7, 10) and all of them had fun, which is saying something. Some parts were a bit tricky for the youngest, but she still felt part of it. Great experience.
Absolutely wonderful tour for families! My kids (8 and 11) were hooked from the start. The quest element was brilliant. Boat ride at the end was the cherry on top. Would do it again!
Our kids (ages 7 and 11) loved this tour. It was a miserable rainy day but they were fully engaged and the weather didn’t stop us. Sasha was excellent.
My 9 year old daughter had a great time on the adventure, whilst exploring and learning about Paris. Sasha and Mallory were amazing with the kids, patient, kind and engaging. I highly recommend for families, keeping both kids and parents happy.
We’ve done a few of kid focused tours, but this one stood out. Sasha was patient, funny, and really creative in how he structured the day. So glad we found it!
We booked this tour for our daughter’s birthday, and it was a hit! The group was small, and it felt very personal. Highlight of our trip, for sure.
I wasn’t sure my 6 year old would stay interested for a 3 hour tour, but he didn’t want it to end. Sasha kept things lively and made everyone feel involved. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Paris with kids. Sasha is an excellent guide and really knows how to connect with kids. We got to see some great spots along the way. Great job!
I booked this because the other reviews were glowing and it didn’t disappoint. Sasha was SO good with our kids (11 yrs, 9 yrs, & 6,5 yrs). I appreciated the historical information peppered into the fun storyline of tracking the invaders. Days later our kids are still looking for invaders and asking if we can call Sasha to meetup again. Really fun and 3 hrs wasn’t too long for our kids. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun activity and want to see Paris!
One of the most creative family experiences we've done in Paris! Sasha connected each clue with local stones and symbols. Ending with a picturesque boat ride completed our adventire beautifully.
Our 6 year old is still talking about the puzzles and clues. We learned about parts of Paris we wouldn’t have discovered otherwise. Really well thought out and great for families.
The perfect mix of play, history, and sightseeing. Our kids didn’t even realize they were learning something because it was so entertaining. A must!
A friend recommended this tour, and we’re so glad we booked it. Sasha is fun, professional, and knows how to work with kids of all ages. It felt more like an adventure than a tour.
Sasha was awesome! Really engaged my kids, especially the 9/12yo (and partially the 5yo). We spent the rest of our time in Paris looking for more Invaders!
This was my 8 year olds favourite activity that she did in Paris .We did A LOT in five days . So much so , that she wants to come back and immediately do the tour again . Sascha is GREAT with kids . This tour perfectly meshed a child’s imagination and opening their eyes to seeing Paris in a different way . Not to mention learning history without knowing she was !! She said the adventure felt like it was one minute , was sad when it was over, and is looking for invaders everywhere ! A Paris must !
This was by far the most thoughtful, engaging and worthwhile investment in making my six year old daughter's Paris trip absolutely magical. Sasha called her by name, knew her interests and attended to her questions with patience and genuine interest. She was completely invested in the mystery and tour Sasah curated. He kept her engaged for hours and she learned so much about Parisian history and culture. I highly recommend this experience when traveling as a family. Her uncle and I were also intrigued and engaged by the tour. Most importantly, we were delighted to see my duaghter so happy and enthusiastic about all the sites we visited.
Sasha is a wealth of knowledge and kept our 10yo engaged the entire tour. We saw sights we never would've found on our own! And we really liked ending with the Seine cruise and being able to stay on to see more sights including a great view of the Eiffel Tower. Thank you, Sasha!
Went with our 2 boys, aged 11 and 9. This was an outstanding, interactive experience. Sacha was fun, interesting and kind. Definitely do this trip! Our 11 year old really enjoyed it and he is a tough gig!
Recommend 100% It was a different way to explore Paris, especially if your kids don't enjoy traditional tours. We walked through areas we might've missed on our own and the boat ride was a nice break midway through !
This was a really fun way to see Paris. It was interactive, fun and full of little surprises. Sasha really knows how to connect with kids.
It was our best decision to get to know Paris better! In just a couple of hours, we learned a huge number of interesting facts about the city and about life. Sasha was funny, knowledgeable, and super engaging. Recommended!
Great tour! I’ve had a lot of fun, really nice experience:) Enjoy cool city sights and learned a lot of new things
The guest format worked so well for our kids. They were so curious and having fun the entire time. It also helped them learn the history. Sasha was charming. Big thanks!
We had two kids with us and they both had a blast. I actually learned a lot too! Great mix of famous sights and fun. Sasha clearly loves what he does, and it shows.
Our guide Sasha was wonderful! He kept our 7 and 9yos entertained as well as the adults! This tour was exactly as described... of the path with additional stories but also showed good views if the BIG landmarks. We enjoyed the quest and my son is still looking for the Invaders. This was a fun Parisian tour!
