About this tour
This three-hour private walking tour trades the Louvre queues for a Parisian's honest take on their city. You'll tick off iconic spots—the Louvre, Palais Royal, Place de la Concorde—but the real payoff comes when your local guide steers you toward backstreet discoveries most visitors miss. A local drink or food tasting rounds it out. Small groups, carbon-neutral operations, and guides paid fairly mean your euros stay in the neighbourhood.
Highlights
- Walk the iconic Louvre and Palais Royal with a local perspective
- Discover quiet streets and neighbourhood secrets off the main drag
- Included local drink or tasting at a favourite spot
- One-on-one with your guide; no large tour groups
- Carbon-neutral tour operation
What to expect
Expect a brisk three-hour stroll on foot, covering ground at a steady pace. Your guide will anchor you at famous landmarks first—orientation points you'll recognise—then pivot to the Paris they actually know: a café where regulars sit, a courtyard tourists walk past daily, a market or back alley with genuine character. You'll be talking, not listening to a microphone. The local treat breaks things up naturally. This isn't a museum tour; it's a neighbour showing you around.
Good to know
Wear trainers; cobblestones are unforgiving. The tour starts from a meeting point (transport is your responsibility—metro stations nearby). Bring a reusable water bottle. Not suitable for heavy pushchairs on narrow streets, though smaller prams work. Moderate fitness needed; you're walking the whole time.
