Great Walking Tour

5.00This was perfect for us since we had only 2.5 days in Paris. Felicia was a phenomenal guide. She is an artist herself, and it's obvious she loves the city and its beauty. The pace was perfect, and I especially liked that we could break for lunch on our own. It is a ton of walking (15,000 to 20,000 steps), so wear your most comfortable shoes.

5.00I am so glad I booked this walking tour. Our tour guide moved at a comfortable pace, we never felt rushed and were able to keep up the entire time, we also took the metro which was a great experience, if it wasn’t because of this tour we probably wouldn’t have rode it on our own. This is a great way to experience Paris, I highly recommend if it’s your first time visiting. Felicia our tour guide was really great. We did this tour with 9 people which in my opinion was perfect. The timing for everything was well planned.
Amazing

5.00Simon was a wonderful tour guide. He gave great insight into all the areas we visited and his passion and knowledge of the arts was very impressive. Simon spoke and understood English very well and I can definitely recommend him for any future tours. If there was one thing I would have liked was to have spent a bit more time around the Montmarte artists square but that is no reflection on Simon as I understand we had a lot to do ❤️
Paris in a Day with Adam was absolutely incredible

5.00If you only have one day in Paris, this is the way to do it. The pacing was perfect, nothing felt rushed, yet we covered so much of the city. Every stop felt intentional, with great stories and context that made Paris come alive instead of just feeling like a checklist. Adam was knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about Paris. He knew exactly where to take us for the best views, hidden spots, and classic landmarks, and they made the whole day feel effortless. I loved how organized everything was while still feeling relaxed and fun. By the end of the day, I felt like I had truly experienced Paris, not just seen it. I’d recommend this tour to anyone who wants to make the most of their time in the city. Worth every minute.
Great day spent in Paris

4.00VERY IMPORTANT!! Meeting point address was incorrect. It took us to the hospital. We had to walk about 20 minutes to get to the train station meeting point. We were able to call and reach a person who could direct us to the correct meeting point. I was calling internationally so more expensive and was not planning to walk run to the tour site. We kept collecting people along the way due to the location error and something else happened with the train so our guide was a little delayed which helped us. The guide, Stan was very good and nice. We went on a drizzly day, but had ponchos so it kept us fairly dry. :) We thoroughly enjoyed the tour!! I would have preferred to stop for coffee ☕️ 🥐sooner, but we enjoyed the place we stopped. Lunch spots were very good too. Stan, our guide, was also very kind and generous to offer to take our photos 📸 and took some great ones! :)
