Paris: the city of love, lights, and a whole lot of historical drama. If you’re looking for a tour that sugarcoats the past, this ain’t it. But if you’re up for a politically incorrect, humor-laden stroll through the heart of Paris, welcome to the Rude Bastards Tour.
History isn’t just dates and facts—it’s full of scandal, intrigue, and absurdity. Our guides don’t shy away from the messy bits; they revel in them. Expect a tour that’s as enlightening as it is entertaining, with a healthy dose of irreverence.
tarting from the historic neighborhood of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, we will walk to the Notre Dame Cathedral, crossing he romantic Seine into the Île de la Cité, one of Paris's two natural islands. We will end the tour by walking up to the Louvre Museum and through its yard.

5.00My 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 :)
Great experience

5.00Iris 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!

5.00Jeremy 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.

5.00Jeremy 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.

5.00The 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!
Lovely tour

5.00Fantastic 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.
Great Banter & Tour
