Bastille Day. La Marseillaise echoing through the boulevards. Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité etched into city walls. The Revolution is everywhere etched into the very stones of Paris.

Paris is a city not just of beauty and grandeur, but of rebellion, ideas, and reinvention.

the guide made the tour

For us the guide was great, knew his stuff, clearly enjoys what he does and was good fun and kept the group nicely organised. I do think the tour could benefit from a tighter focus/main thread but Thom was excelent.

Excellent tour

Excellent and very interesting tour providing historical context about the events leading up to and during the French Revolution. We were absolutely drawn into the story. The guide was bilingual (English and French), articulate and easy to understand as well as very knowledgeable. I can definitely recommend this tour!

Very informative tour

Our guide was very informative! He gave us a great overview with detailled stories of the history and context of the revolution, the backs and forths of power and the symbols involved and relevant until today. If you are into history and trying to grasp this important part of french history, I would definitely recommend!

Historical Tiur

Excellent walking tour covering 19th century history of Paris not just the French Revolution. So many dates and names I wont remember but definitely some stories I will. Toto is an excellent guide. Lots of walking.
