Departure Time10:00am Departure PointCentral Paris Return DetailsConcludes at Notre Dame at approximately 2:00pm Very nice walking tour., Travis our tour guide is very gooooood. Highly recommended. 2011-11-07 imelda ,  The Walking Tour was brilliant. A lot of my friends had told me that they didn't like Paris. That they went to all the sights and it just "wasn't for them". However, we discovered that ooking at a famous monument is very different to looking at it and being informed of the history of it, how, when and why it was made and what impact it had on the city during the occupation, reigning of different kings etc. This tour changed our perspective of the city. It was definitely the highlight of our trip. We have advised our friends, if they go back, to take this tour and one or two have agreed to go back with us in the new year and give Paris a second chance. It is a beautiful city and this tour really opened our eyes to that fact. Our tour guide was really friendly and upon invitation, recommended great restaurants to eat at, the closest metro stations to the sites and the best ways to get around the city. (Thanks Travis!!) I would highly recommend the tour to anyone visiting Paris for the first time. 2011-10-31 Edel , Great tour! Will do this type of tour the first day I travel anywhere as it gives you an idea of what sites you want to spend more time at. Our guide, Jackson, was very knowledgeable and personable. There were only 13 of us in our group, so the tour was very interactive. 2011-10-24 toiv0009 , Greatest guide ever...so much knowledge and he really knew his way around. We all enjoyed this so much, would do it again in a heartbeat. 2011-10-24 LINDA M , this was one of the best trips we booked and would do this again in whichever city we visit 2011-10-08 chris , This is a great tour for an overview of Paris and to get a good idea of where many sites are located. We had a great guide, Travis, who took his time explaining and describing the history of the various sites. Although the tour was long and covered a wide area, there were enough pauses along the way for it not to be tiring. The outdoor cafe lunch was also very delightful and relaxing. We were very fortunate to get Travis again as our guide on the Latin Quarter Walking Tour the next day. Highly recomend both tours for a great overview of the city. 2011-10-07 Linda , Excellent. Best way to see the city and great history lesson from the guide, plus his assistance ordering lunch at outdoor cafe. Left you where you could do more indepth exploration of what you had just seen. 2011-09-25 Irene , This tour was just perfect. A good amount of history mixed in and Gil is probably the best tour guide we have ever had on any our past trips to Europe. He is gold. Keep him. 2011-09-21 Peter W , Our guide Travis was the best. 2011-09-20 Trice , Gil was a great guide.
He brought us to the sights mentioned in the write-up of the classic walk tour and was knowledgeable to narrate the history of the places, yet it was in a light hearted manner. The places now left a deeper impression in me. In addition, he added his own small stories and anecdotes which made the content even more entertaining. The tour and its guide is definitely a gem for the price paid! 2011-09-12 CECILIA C ,
