Most travelers think they’ve seen Paris after visiting the Eiffel Tower and main boulevards. But what if I told you the city’s true magic hides in its quiet streets, hidden corners, and stories only a local can share?

Exploring alone, it’s easy to miss the history and details that give Paris its unique character. You might leave thinking you’ve seen it all, while the city’s real soul stays just out of reach.

Our Walking Tour in Paris changes that. Your guide tailors the experience to your interests, showing both iconic landmarks and hidden gems. Discover Paris beyond the surface, like a local.

We did a 3 hours walking tour and discovered the city center and Montmartre. It was super interesting, our guide told us a lot about the history of Paris and the different monuments we saw. What a beautiful day, there was snow and sun. Really a great experience. I warmly recommend this tour.

2-Hour Center of Paris Tour with Major Highlights : Great tour through the center of Paris! We learned a lot about the history of the city and had a lot of fun with our guide. We visited the main highlights, and along the way our guide showed us many lovely hidden spots that you probably wouldn’t see on a classic tour. I can only recommend Local Tours Expert. Big thanks to our tour guide, Sylvia, -we had a fantastic time !

Paris is all year-around destination even in January. Our guide Sylvia started the tour at the Louvre, telling us a lot of anecdotes of the formers kings and queens who lived there before it became a museum. We continued via the courtyard of the Palais Royal and discovered Paris oldest theater. "Les passages couverts" are something special I havent hear of before, and Sylvia showed us the most beautiful one (Passage Vivienne). My personal highlight was the newly opened library Richelieu, I added a photo and recommend everybody to pass by there, the entrance to the Oval salon is free. What I liked about Sylvia is the pleasant manner in which she shared small details with us and showed us hidden places such as the old theater. Before our tour ended after 2 hours at the Opera Garnier, we got a lot of restaurant recommendations from her to discover Paris amazing kitchen.

I had the pleasure of joining the Guided Walking Tour in Paris, and it truly exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, the guide was welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the city's rich history and culture. The group was small enough to ask questions, take photos, and enjoy a relaxed pace. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to go beyond the touristy spots and experience the city through the eyes of a local expert. A must-do when in Paris!
