What an AMAZING tour we had! We could have spent all day in Paris with Jeremy! He is so knowledgeable and was just such a pleasure. It was just my husband and me in this particular tour, but I will made sure to reach back out to Jeremy when we return to book another tour. I highly recommend! And for 5 Euros...come on! Just book it!

Jeremy was an excellent guide! We learned some interesting and not typical historical information about the area and had a great time with him! We traveled with our adult children.
Jeremy was an amazing guide and we enjoyed his tour very much! We learned so many things that we would never have learned on a typical tour and stopped to enjoy some time at the oldest restaurant in Paris! He truly helped make our family trip with our adult children unforgettable! We’d love to thank him for the time that he spent with us making us feel more comfortable in the area and learning some interesting history that we wouldn’t have learned otherwise. We would definitely take another tour with him!
This was truly an awesome tour! Our tour guide, Jeremy, was incredibly well informed and had an awesome personality with great stories throughout the tour! We stopped at the oldest restaurant in Paris, met the maître d’ and had drinks and the best potato pancakes! Thanks for making the experience amazing and for all of the great stories and info! We will be back and will take another tour!
My friend and I had a fantastic private walking tour of the Notre Dame area with Jeremy! He was fun, engaging, highly informative, and kept in great touch before the tour. The meeting spot was super easy to find, and we learned so much history we never would have discovered on our own. Highlights included seeing Paris's oldest tree, the oldest restaurant, the outside of Notre Dame, and Shakespeare & Co. bookstore (just keep an eye out for the angry Irishman working there 😅!). A truly wonderful experience with a great guide—highly recommend! Merci beaucoup, Jeremy!
Had a great time exploring Paris with Jeremy, he was very informative and knowledgeable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again, great value for money and some of the the things I learned over the 2-3 hour tour I wouldn’t have known otherwise.
The guide was extremely informative and friendly. He got to know everyone in the group and made the tour super fun and interactive. Always offered to take pictures. Would 100% recommend to everyone. Thank you
Jeremy gave us a brilliant morning’s tour with loads of interesting facts and fascinating stories.He took us to some wonderful places that were away from the main attractions and had a great knowledge of some super stories that brought in a whole new perspective. The tour lasted just over two hours and whilst the initial cost of the tour seemed very cheap, even with the tip that we chose to give- it was still fair value ( especially as we were fortunate that it was just the two of us) Would certainly recommend for a chilled vibe and good sense of humour.
This was a perfect tour to hit some of the highlights without it being a generic history tour! Jeremy was a blast showing us some really cool off-the-beaten-path spots, and throwing in some great humor and history tidbits. He took the time to explain so much more than the places we were seeing and we even had time for a drink at the oldest cafe in Paris. My wife and I loved everything about this tour!
Jeremy was an amazing tour guide! It was wonderful walking through the city with a new perspective after learning about why certain features exist, fun traits, etc. Love being transported back in time!
Jeremy was an amazing guide! The tour was fun and informative. We learnt many fascinating facts about the city :)
Having gone on over 30 tours in Paris I can honestly say the Rude Bastards tour offers something unique. It felt like we were walking around the city with an old friend, but one who had hundreds of stories to choose from. My partner and I love some niche topics - and alongside the pre-existing tour Jeromie was able to offer some incredible stories about our areas of interest. We are already planning our next rude bastard tour and will be telling all our friends to join Jeromie on their next trip to Paris
Please do this tour of you're in Paris. Jeremy rocked it, was loads of fun and really interesting and unique tour. 11/10! Also Jeremy has loads of other tours, we're 100% going to do the others when we come back to Paris.
Excellent tour around Saint Michel. Interesting local stories and our guide Vincenzo was engaging and kept our interest all through the tour.
This tour was a really fun and interactive way to learn about the history of central Paris. Jeremy was very friendly and I appreciated that he regularly threw questions out to the group, so it wasn’t just him talking for two hours straight. The Rude Bastards tours are such a fun way to experience history and they don’t shy away from all the beheadings either.
Great Jeremy, i was so interesting and funny. Really really recommend this tour
Our tour guide Iris was fabulous! She shared some great stories and showed us some hidden gems we would have never known of! A fun way to see some classics and off the beaten path spots.
We had a lovely tour with Iris! She was so insightful! I enjoyed all the stories she shared stories about the city which I’d never heard and pointed out details in its architecture that I had previously missed like mother in law gargoyle !!
We had the best time visiting Paris with our tour guide Iris! It was the perfect mix of history, culture, and getting to chat with a local!! Thank you for all your tips on Paris and your great energy - highly recommend!
Iris was a fantastic guide for an overview of the history of Paris with a great focus on the fun more risqué stories you wouldn’t find on any other tour! We got to learn some things we didn’t get the previous day on a food tour that covered some of the same areas. Iris is clearly knowledgeable on the area and even saw a great opportunity for us to get into the Shakespeare and Company book store when normally there’s an insanely long queue! She went above and beyond and helped out with some recommendations for later on in our visit to Paris!
I took this tour with my family when I was in Paris visiting, and it was amazing! We had a fantastic tour guide named Iris and she made each story so much fun. The time flew by and I learned so much! I would 100 percent recommend and can’t wait to take another Rude Bastards tour.
Had a great tour of Paris with Jeremy (a Rude Bastard), as he took us to familiar AND unfamiliar places and regaled us with background stories we had not known (even though we’ve visited Paris many times before). Jeremy was very personal and responsive to our (many) questions. Highly recommend this tour for those who want to learn about Paris — especially about some sights and places not highlighted in your typical guide book!
I did the tour a few months ago but still can’t get over the great sights and stories I learned! Iris is a wonderful tour guide - I highly recommend!
I did my tour back in Feb. I had Iris as my tour guide. Honestly very knowledgeable person. Great thing is that she takes notes of what people in the group say so that she can review it and use it as material for another tour! So that’s great to feel like you’re participating in building her tour. Highly recommend 5 ⭐️
It was a great way to experience Paris in a more engaging way. We saw some sites we wouldn’t have visited on our own and some interesting things along the way. Love the different stories about various past layers of Paris and some of the people who have been part that. We brought our teenage kids and it was well suited to them as they enjoy a gory story. Jeremy was a great guide who had some good personal insights share.
After waiting at their arranged place to meet - they never showed up or answered their phone. So annoyed!
Fantastic tour, lots of great information on Paris historical and quirky. You are shown things that you would normally walk straight past. Jeremy was a great bloke and made sure we had a great time. Highly recommend this tour.
Hello all! I was hunting for something different than a standard historical tour, and Rude Bastards absolutely delivered. We met up near Notre-Dame and the humor they added to the area's history was top-tier. Our guide, Iris, was incredibly knowledgeable and sharp-witted, sharing the kind of "rude" Parisian insights you won't find in a guidebook. If you want a tour with actual personality and a lot of laughs, this is it.
Iris was very warm and friendly, she took us to see the main sights of Paris and had educational and funny stories about them. She also recommended some good places to eat to meet my dietaries. 11/10!
Great fun, lovely tour guide! Lots of nice niche spots, got to ask lots of questions. Got some recommendations for what else to do in Paris as well
Unforgettable experience, 2 hours passed by as a sec, rich knowledge about a subject and great narration.
The tour was great, Jeremy was fun and knowledgeable and made me discover a side of Paris that I didn’t know at all. Highly recommend!
Jeremy was a great guide and we had an excellent walk around learning about the great city of Paris. Would highly recommend him.
Jeremy was such a lovely guide! He had excellent anecdotes, engaging us with fun question games and was overall pleasant, super knowledgeable and personable! Would definitely recommend the tour and I walked away with deeper knowledge of Paris and had a ton of fun :)
My friend and I ended up having a private tour with Jeremy, and the 2.5 hours just flew by! Jeremy is a great storyteller who keeps you engaged the whole time and really draws your attention to hidden gems you likely would have missed; like our favourite fun fact, the mother-in-law gargoyles at Notre Dame. We also loved that he had us guess historical facts, and we got stickers if we got them right. A great way to keep this motivated :D On top of that, he is also just super sweet and easy to chat with. Thanks again for the lovely tour, Jeremy! We had a great time :)
Arriving in Paris? This guide tour is the best early plan! Great experience walking Paris streets while learning about history and culture with Jeremy, a amazing guide. With him you get information, recommendations and a lot of fun:)
Iris was an exceptional tour guide! She is Parisian so is incredibly knowledgeable about the city. She was funny and quirky too! Her English is fantastic - as she studied in the US - and thus could banter with our group and ask great questions! Also she has the trivia that only a Parisian will really know about. THANK YOU IRIS!
Jeremy gave us a good tour of various areas of Paris with interesting detail, some amusing antidotes too. The book shop and little quirky restaurant were fabulous too. Easy pace, no rushing. Just wished we'd had time to go inside Notre Dame.
Jeremy is an amazing, knowledgeable, and funny tour guide. If you want to learn about the history of Paris beyond what you find in textbooks, this tour is absolutely worth joining. Jeremy was entertaining, friendly, and incredibly engaging throughout the tour. I’ve joined many tours before, but he was by far the best tour guide I’ve ever had.
The ticketing process was incredibly easy. The website was simple to navigate — even for someone like me! The tour description immediately caught my attention, and I’m happy to say it absolutely delivered. Before the tour, Jeremy reached out personally to make sure I knew exactly where to meet and how to recognize him, which made everything seamless from the start. Jeremy did an outstanding job leading the tour. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the sights and had a great way of drawing me into the conversation to keep things engaging. The little nuggets of information he shared are things I’ll definitely be using later when I’m walking around with coworkers and friends. What really stood out was how natural the entire experience felt. It never felt scripted or rehearsed — it felt like strolling through Paris with a friend who happened to know all the insider details. When Jeremy mentioned we only had 10 minutes left, I was genuinely surprised. The two and a half hours flew by. I’ve been on numerous “free tours,” and Jeremy is by far the best guide I’ve had. I’ll definitely be booking with him again the next time I’m in town. Thank you, Jeremy!
Fantastic tour. Jeremy was so kind to contact us and offer us an alternative tour because of the bas weather we would have had in our initial booking. And again, he was so kind to give us a private tour. With Jeremy and the new guise tour star, Iris, we walked for two hours in the sunny Latin Quarter discovering some hidden gems of the city of the lights. My daughter and I enjoyed the tour very much, thanks a lot.
Jeremy was a great guide who was very informative and provided a great tour and history of Paris with the welcome addition of some good old banter. I would recommend anyone to book Jeremy’s tour when visiting Paris 👍🏽
Jeremy was a brilliant tour guide and very helpful. He took us to a lovely place for a drink mid tour and he told us so much information.
Had a fab tour with Jeremy. He made the Latin Quarter tour totally interesting showing us around all the nooks and crannies. Restaurant, Au Vieux Paris d'Arcole, a definite Brucie Bonus. Stickers for guessing pub quiz style questions thrown in for good measure. Such fun was had by all (well two, basically a private tour)! Thank you
We ended up having a private tour with Jeremy, as no one else showed up that day: we couldn’t have been luckier. It was one of the best walking tours we’ve ever had, and we’ve had many, full of fascinating anecdotes and delightful surprises we would never have discovered on our own. We definitely suggest it as one of the first things to do in Paris as it also helps in navigating the city. Thank you so much, Jeremy! We won’t forget you and hope to return to Paris someday.

had an exceptional experience with this tour guide company in Paris. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and truly passionate about the city’s history and culture. Every stop was well planned and engaging, with plenty of interesting stories and local insights. We felt safe, welcomed, and inspired throughout the tour. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting a memorable and informative way to explore Paris!
We had a fantastic time with our guide Jeremy. We discovered places around Paris that we didn’t know existed and his enthusiasm for the city and its history shone through. Would highly recommend taking this tour it’s a great way to get to know Paris and its history.
Amazing tour with Jeremy! He’s definitely a passionate guy and it shows. Lots of interesting facts, weird and dark ones too! We’ve been on 5 tours in the past week and Jeremy was definitely one of the better ones.
we learned, laughed and loved every second! i don't want to spoil anything, but if you can join Jeremy's tour.. DO IT! he showed us interesting spots and told stories you would probably miss or would have never thought about. he made sure we had time to look around and even made time for a short break and a hot drink to warm up while snow coverd Paris this past week. history can be fun when you join the Rude B's tour!
Excellent walking tour with Jeremy who is originally from the USA but is clearly fascinated and highly knowledgeable about Paris. He took us round many of the key sightseeing and provided loads of unusual and interesting historic facts! Thanks - really enjoyed it.
