Description

Ah, Paris, the capital of elegance, chic, love, art, and science. Its architecture and ambiance are truly iconic, and its people are famous for their achievements and... sense of pride.

The city rose from its humble beginnings as a marshland settlement, became a Roman colony, and seat off the early Frankish monarchs to finally set trends as the biggest medieval city in Europe. Home to many revolts and societal changes, it evolved as the capital of the free thinkers and... the most famous revolution changing the political landscape of western civilization forever.

Toto was très amusant!

We really enjoyed the tour and the history presented by Thomas "Toto". I learned a lot about Paris that I didn't know, and it was so enjoyable despite the heat.

Excellent tour through pretty Paris

Loved my tour with "the Vampire" of Paris, despite my 4th time in the amazing city still such a great way to learn and see new things and find the hidden gems from local experts. Had a wonderful morning and was lots of fun, definitely recommend.

Good Tour through Paris

We had a good Tour through Paris. It was informative and parts of it funny. Our Guide used some movie and TV Show references and recommend us some spots and places we should have to visit. He always kept a good eye on the large group, so we didn't loose anyone. After the Tour you wil have a good Overview over the historical context of the City.

A great intro to Paris

I joined the walking tour shortly after arriving in Paris. It was a whistle stop tour of all the sites which I then went back to visit with more time. ‘The Vampire’ was a great tour guide, good energy with interesting stories about Paris and very inclusive of everyone within the group. As well as encouraging us all to mingle, which was a nice touch for the solo travellers within the group. He also gave us some tips on where to go for proper Parisian food & drink, and takes great photos should you need a personal photographer ????
