Felix was absolutely amazing! His historical knowledge was impressive. He was very engaging and patient with our group. He made sure we understood the information he shared with us and would frequently ask if we had any questions. He knew the layout of the Louve and used our time there well to make sure we saw specific artifacts. It was also fun to travel on the railway. Thank you for such an enjoyable day!! I would highly recommend this tour, especially if you can get Felix as your guide.
Felix was very informative and entertaining with a sense of humor.
Be mindful as it was not clearly stated by Viator that the Louvre is not open on Tuesdays. We thought this tour included the Louvre. BUT we did get the tour of Orsay Museum to which our guide Adam was so good!!!!
I took this tour last year and it was very good. This time I came with a friend and it was even better. The only blot was not being able to get into the Louvre because students had blocked off the entrances. Abby was our tour guide and she was absolutely incredible! Her fund of knowledge was impressive. She was truly charming, interesting and able to put his historical facts in context with what we were seeing. Truly an excellent tour guide! I recommend this tour for anyone who is a first time visitor or a return visitor, who maybe needs of refresher course in the lay of the land. While we did not end up going to the Louvre, Abby improvised by walking us through the Marais.
Worth every penny. It was my first time ever doing a guided tour of a city and it was so fun and interesting! Adam was so entertaining and kind, and he was so, so knowledgeable about everything. I genuinely feel like I learned so much and the tour went by so quickly. Even when we had to deal with some slight chaos from the metro system, Adam sorted it out so quickly and we were still able to get to the Louvre in time for our reservation there. Even with such a small amount of time in the Louvre, we were able to go really in depth into the things we focused on, including its history, techniques, as well as the angle for each work and how to get it. It really felt like getting an insider view of Paris with not only history, but also food recommendations and places to visit. Such a fun experience, I would 100% do it again and would recommend it to everyone visiting Paris and wanting the highlights.
Amazing guide. Team Adam for the win. Adam kept us all on track while providing great insights and kept it fun and informative
It was a great day. Adam is a perfect guide.
Adam was so informative and I’m definitely recommending him and want him to do my next tour!! He was the best!!
Wow!!! What a fantastic way to get an overview of the city & the Louvre. Adam was one of the best guides we have had! So knowledgeable, personable and funny. He made the day easy and very informative. Getting his guidance on navigating the metro was extremely helpful. We now feel confident to go back to see and do more around Paris. Go Team Alex!!
Our tour with Adam was phenomenal! His breadth and depth of knowledge is truly impressive. A wonderful experience all around.
Adam was absolutely amazing. He was so knowledgeable, charming and warm!
Adam was absolutely phenomenal! He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. Highly recommend.
Our guide Simon was excellent, Very knowledgeable and explained all sites in detail and answered all questions. However the tour description was misleading. It did not say, it required 7.6 miles of walking. Three older people had to drop out of the group. Since no buses are involved and participants do the walking why does this tour cost 160 Euros? Expensive for the services provided.
This was a terrific day. Quite long and a lot of walking but incredibly interesting and informative. Our Guide Manny shared his love of Paris and art and really helped us understand the city and its people.
Positives: Dan was excellent at guiding a group of us 20 travelers and explaining everything along the way. The tour starts at Montmartre, and covers another 3 major sites of Louvre, Notre Dame, and the Eiffel tower, with visiting inside of the Louvre museum being the crown jewel of the tour. Negatives: I messaged specifically about checking out the Moulin Rouge since we are already near the Montmartre area before the tour, the tour support team confirmed it but we did not end up actually passing by that spot. Another down vote for me personally is the time management, I am totally fine with the one hour lunch time given in the middle of the tour; however the 30-40 minute cafe break before that was totally unnecessary, since the tour starts at 9, people would already have grabbed coffee and/or even had breakfast before, instead that time can be easily compensated by adding another stop or two along the tour (Moulin Rouge maybe?), or more exhibits inside the Louvre Museum?
You get a lot out of the experience - a touch of everything and some really helpful commentary. They gave us lots of time to see things, have a snack and lunch, and packed a ton of things into one day. I loved the seine cruise being flexible so we used it as a treat on our last night. Daniel, our tour guide, was witty and helpful!
A great way to experience Paris! We learned how to take a metro and where different neighborhoods were located. A background history of the city also helped us to understand and appreciate Paris more.
Title is very misleading as 7 of 9 of us in tour thought we were including Mountbatten, seine cruise etc.
This was a half day Paris walking tour with Metro and Funicular tickets included to get you to and from the different landmarks in the city.
Abby was our tour guide, she was outstanding! She very knowledgeable about the history of Paris and all the sites she took us to see. I loved the way she directed us through out the day.
A wonderful full day walking experience. We hit the highlights with fun insights and history from our great tour guide, Dan. If you are short on time but want to pack in the sights, this is the tour for you.
Felix was fantastic—very knowledgeable, pleasant, and took the time to understand our needs and expectations. He ensured we saw everything we wanted to see. This was my granddaughter’s first trip to Paris, and he made sure she experienced everything she hoped for and left completely satisfied.
We loved our tour! Our guide was excellent and very entertaining he gave us the real scope of Paris and it was the best tour we have had on our 14 day Europe trip.
This tour was a terrific introduction to the city for our first full day in Paris. We packed in a lot in 4 hours! Our guide, Lily, was wonderful - engaging and knowledgeable. Takes notes. The tour is fast paced and you might lose track of all you saw. We visited the famous sites and many that were lesser known. There was more walking and stairs than I expected. Easily 5 miles. Great tour! Highly recommend.
Adam is amazing. We had an awesome time. So much history learned in 8 hours!! Would highly recommend this tour especially those only in Paris a short time.
We absolutely loved our full\-day tour of Paris with Adam\! He is professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and truly passionate about what he does\. His enthusiasm made the entire group engaged and made the experience even more enjoyable\. I especially remember when Adam told us at the beginning that if we didn’t return to the designated meeting spot on time, he wouldn’t come looking for us\. 😂 But he actually went out of his way to find one of our group members who was missing, and luckily, we managed to reunite with them during the last leg of our tour at the Louvre\. That really showed how much he cared about our group\! Thank you, Adam, for all the helpful tips, fascinating knowledge, and wonderful insights you shared with us\. And now we finally understand that the French aren’t really rude after all\! 😂🤣 We would definitely recommend Adam to anyone visiting Paris, and we’ll happily book another tour with him whenever we’re back in town\. Thank you for making our Paris experience so memorable\! 🇫🇷❤️
The tour was beautiful and never felt overwhelming. Our tour guide, Adam, is very knowledgeable of the city and very pleasant to be around.
Adam is an amazing tour guide! His level of knowledge, and expertise significantly elevated the tour experience. He was entertaining and fun! We learned so much more than what we had expected for a day tour. The tour was incredible and we will be Team Adam for life!!
This is a great tour if you would like to get some exercise and see all the major sites. Our tour guide Karen was wonderful.
Adam was the BEST tour guide ever!!! ❤️ We had the most amazing time exploring Paris with him and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We got to see SO much of the city, discover beautiful places, and learn so much fascinating history along the way. Adam made everything so fun, engaging, and memorable with his incredible knowledge, personality, and genuine passion for what he does. He made us feel so welcomed and made the entire experience feel special. We left with so many wonderful memories and a much deeper appreciation for Paris. If you’re visiting Paris, I cannot recommend Adam enough! He is an absolute gem, and we feel so lucky to have had him as our guide. Thank you, Adam, for making our time in Paris so unforgettable! 🇫🇷❤️
It was a long day so one must be prepared and physically able. Our guide, DANIEL, was absolutely the very best. His knowledge and sense of humor made for aa wonderful day.
Amazing tour. Lots of interesting stops with a professional guide. Abby anticipates everything and you really get to experience a wonderful day getting acquainted with Paris.
This tour exceeded our expectations! Our tour guide, Simon brought Paris’s rich history to life through his incredible knowledge of local history and personal storytelling, sharing things we never would have discovered on our own. He managed the pace of the group perfectly and kept everyone engaged throughout the day. He was punctual, warm, and exceptionally knowledgeable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a more memorable experience!
Fantastic day! Adam was our Tour Guide, he was so knowledgeable and fun! He made the day perfect. Gave such good insight to each attraction. He shared history in such a good way making things interesting and fun. Highly recommend!
Felix is the best. We’ve seen so many sites in a short span of time. History came alive. Thanks to Felix for making this day memorable. Keep up the good work. You are truly amazing😊
The day walking tour was outstanding - mostly due to our amazing tour guide, Adam. Incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and able to remember the names of all 18 members of our group and where we were all from! Would highly recommend!
Adam was exceptionally knowledgeable of French history and art! I learned So much on our tour and enjoyed it so much. He was very engaging, well prepared and entertaining. 10/10 experience and would highly recommend touring with him
Adam is 10 stars amazing! A perfect day in Paris
It’s a lot of walking . Make sure you are up to it. It takes you to all the best locations and you have ample time to see anything you want.
We had a wonderful experience on our private walking tour of Paris! Our guide was so knowledgeable and did a fantastic job showing us the beauty and history of the city. We visited incredible places, including Sacré-Cœur, Montmartre, Notre-Dame, and the Eiffel Tower. She even taught us how to navigate the Metro, which made getting around Paris so much easier! We also loved having the flexibility to enjoy the riverboat cruise on our own time. This tour was the perfect way to see so much of Paris while learning along the way. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Paris!
Adam was the best tour guide I have ever experienced in my over two million miles of travel. He was knowledgeable, passionate, and committed to ensuring we experienced true Paris. I heartily recommend him and the tour for anyone coming to this beautiful city
Adam was awesome!! The tour was amazing.. Adam was very thorough & went far and beyond to make Team Adam safe & informed!
So worth it. Our guide, Felix had the perfect energy and humor (very charismatic): super knowledgeable. Great English. We battled a some weather and Felix made the best of that too. A lot of walking which we were prepared for. We took breaks at well paced times. The sights and itinerary was well curated. Admissions and navigating the Metro were also a breeze.
What an awesome tour to see so much of Paris on one day. Our guide was fantastic, engaging, and entertaining. We loved this tour.
It was a very long day… Pretty much 80% walking. I was able to see the main attractions in Paris ..our guide was amazing. Her English was perfect and her knowledge was above extraordinary
The information was unclear. I received it late and we missed the tour. But we did get to go down the Seine river later in morning.
It was lovely getting to see the main highlights of Paris. My favorite part was having someone give a focused tour of the Louvre because there is just too much ground to cover in that giant museum. Our guide Avi was awesome and provided a lot of historical knowledge specifically about the art which I really enjoyed.
This tour was a great way to see a lot of Paris in one day. Bel made it an experience to remember with all the history, stories, and laughs. Be ready to walk A LOT. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and clothes (layers are a must in Oct). I would recommend this tour for anyone with limited time in Paris.
Avi was amazing and so informative, I would recommend asking for him if you are doing this tour. Kim New Orleans
