this is a pick-and-choose program. Here is the program that generally works best. Starting with Notre-Dame. All the way to Tuileries Gardens
Where Paris was born - and Paris' best ice cream...
pace is important, we don't go inside - but you learn everything from when the Louvre defended Paris to what happened to the Mona Lisa during WWII
"Paris with kids" is a private tour custom-built around you and your kids. You tell us what your kids are like. We propose activities and attractions. You decide what and when. A boat cruise on the river Seine is a sure winner. And we know the shortest of all the cruises.
"new bridge" is Paris' oldest bridge. Plenty to pay attention to. Just across the way is the lovelock bridge - best 360° view ove Paris, all the way to the Eiffel Tower.
Where Roman ruins come alive.
the queen's garden - a good, a very good, ending point for this half-day family adventure.
Hands down our absolute favorite experience in Paris! Felt like we had an insider view. We were picked up directly from our hotel and escorted throughout the city. Helle was an incredible guide—exceptionally knowledgeable and effortlessly kept our 6- and 9-year-olds captivated from start to finish. Truly went above and beyond. We couldn't recommend Helle more highly!
Benjamin was great- seeing the Palais Royal and the Latin Quarter was fabulous! Would definitely recommend.
Helle was an outstanding tour guide! She customized the tour to appeal to everything my 7YO daughter was into. We had so much fun, highly recommend!
We did this tour on our first morning in Paris and it was the perfect way to get acclimated to the city while learning about it along the way. Our guide Helle was kind, knowledgeable and customized the tour for our interests and for our 9 year old daughter. We started at our hotel and walked for 2 hours but the time flew and none of us were ever tired or bored! We all learned so much and this was the perfect way to kick off our stay in Paris.
What a wonderful way to see Paris. Our guide was Adrian (might be spelled wrong) and he was wonderful. Engaging, let us modify the tour as we wanted. He showed up at our hotel about 10 minutes early and we left right on time. Took the Metro and then started our tour. We saw so MUCH it was almost overwhelming. My only complaint is that communication was a little spotty. We booked this in May and it was not until about a week before that the company started to respond and we could discuss what we wanted to see. Further, they only wanted to communicate through Viator and would not communicate directly. I understand the reason for this but it made communicating difficult.
Discovery Walks did an amazing job creating a very personal experience for our 9-year-old as well as mom and dad. We asked for a tour that helped our son learn what it is like to be a similarly aged child in Paris and they knocked it out of the park by creating a very impactful opportunity for our son to attend a bi-lingual school in Paris. It was a very special experience for us all. Thank you for an amazing experience!
Very expensive for what was provided. There was a guide and that’s it. I had to buy the metro tickets and the ice cream. Of course no admission to museums but it was $200 an hour for someone to walk with six people….two of us being former French teachers. I could have easily done what was provided
We had a private family tour with Thibaut and it was worth every penny. My 7 and 10 year old were engaged and he made it really interesting by taking us off the beaten track a little to discover some parts of paris I would never have thought to visit. Loved it.
Floriane, our guide, was excellent! She was entertaining and knowledgeable, and she helped us get our bearings on our first full day in the city. She kept our kids (13, 7) engaged as well as me and my wife.
Our guide was top notch, friendly and best of all, answered every single one of our daughter’s questions. He let her be the “leader” and it made the day that much more enjoyable!
Adrian was excellent. We all really enjoyed the tour. My children were attentive and never bored. Ty
What a fantastic tour of the greatest sights in Paris! Our tour guide, Camille (unsure of the spelling) was super excellent with our 10 year old and we covered a lot of ground during our 3.5 hours. We walked from the Place de la Concorde to the Louvre with any stops in between. We even did this awesome sneaky rooftop view at the Gallerie Lafayette where you could see the Opera House to the Eiffel Tower. We did a lot of walking on a sunny day, the half day tour was plenty for our kid. We had lots of breaks, options to stop for water and snacks. I would highly recommend this intimate tour for a family so you can have the best 1:1 experience learning about the beautiful city of Paris!
Patrick took us on one of the best tours I have ever been on. I booked a 3 hour kid friendly walking tour of Paris and we definitely got our monies worth. We started at the Concorde where we learned about the history of the site. From there we walked through the adjacent gardens toward the Louvre. The surrounding gardens and buildings were full of history and Patrick knew everything about them. We walked through to the Louvre where we got a secret sneak peak inside the museum. I have a 5 year old, so unfortunately did not think going through the Louvre was not something I thought he could handle but next time will definitely be booking a tour with Patrick to see all the paintings. We walked through to the Louvre pyramids where Patrick taught us about the architecture behind the building and history of who lived there. Patrick was kind enough to take many amazing photos of me with my child and was great in keeping the kiddo entertained. After the Louvre, we trekked over to Norte Dame and Patrick showed us a secret spot to get these beautiful photos of the church. Patrick is extremely knowledgeable and you can tel he really enjoys sharing all he knows during these tours. Highly recommend and will be booking with him again when we return.
Romain was terrific. Reminded me of a real life Linguini from Ratatouille! Very nice with kids. Had a great time on our walking tour throughout the city. I recommend meeting at one of the tourist spots as this is a walking tour. No vehicles are used.
We had a limited time in Paris and booked this tour to show some highlights. This might have been the best tour of the trip. There was a last-minute change to the tour, but the operator provided great communication and a partial refund for the difference. Alex - our tour guide - was wonderful. He was incredibly knowledgeable and great with the kids. He showed us both major highlights of the city and hidden gems that only a local would know. He helped us explore the neighborhood we were staying in and was just great. Couldn't recommend this more.
Camille was an EXCELLENT guide. She took the time to ask about our tour wish list, objectives, etc. to customize the perfect tour for our family. She was prepared with plenty of information along the way and took great care to include our daughter in the tour. I would highly recommend Camille!
Walid did a wonderful job showing us the Paris we wouldn’t have seen on our own. He was flexible, patient and helpful in getting us the pictures we wanted and even pick up speciality gifts along the way. Great tour! There is so much to see but I recommend the half day for parents of your teens and children and the whole day for anybody else that wants more time and information! It was wonderful!
The tour was informative and fun and my 11 year old daughter enjoyed it as much as I did! Sean, our guide, looked after us really well
From start to finish our tour with Discover Walks was truly magical. Camille handled the booking and communication. She did a outstanding job. Sean, was the perfect fit for our group. I think we were a little more to handle than what he was bargaining for, but he was very professional. I am so appreciative of both Camille and Sean. Our group kept saying over and over how things would have been harder without them. I most definitely would say you should hire this group to tour you around Paris. We will for sure hire them again on our second trip.
excellent!!! Thank you Raquel, Kenya, also to Brenda and Vitai for taking such loving care of our boy Federico, we will continue to enjoy it until next Tuesday, we had an incredible time The super comfortable room The mini club is the best!!!!
Wir durften eine auf unsere Wünsche abgestimmte Tour erleben, die sowohl für unsere Kinder (5 und 12) als auch für uns unvergesslich sein wird. Alles war perfekt, keine Frage blieb unbeantwortet und unser Guide Audrey ging sehr herzlich und geduldig mit den Kids um. Mit den besten Maccarons und der leckersten Schokolade im Gepäck verließen wir Paris voller einzigartiger Erinnerungen. Merci!
Es war sehr informativ unser Guide Camille war sehr nett und pünktlich, konnte viel erzählen sie ist auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen alles war top! Leider waren keine Eintrittskarten für jeweilige Museen inklusive das wäre noch schön wenn sie das auf der Website ergänzen würden
Die kleine Details, das Fachwissen und die Freundlichkeit Ecken die man sonst nicht entdecken würde, Bars, Geschäfte und Sehenswürdigkeiten abseits des Trubels der Touristen
Nous sommes ravis de cette experience. Un moment unique avec un guide vraiment extraordinaire et sympathique! Pas de visite “pompeuse” mais un tour ludique rempli d’anecdotes historiques pour le plus grand interet des petits et des plus grands. Un grand merci a Jean de nous avoir fait profiter de ses connaissances et de sa curiosité incroyables! On resigne des que possible! :)
