Walking Tours in Paris

Had a wonderful time with the family. Easy access. The place is very well maintained and everything is clearly explained. I recommend it even with young children—everything is provided for.

It was all impressive and magnificent. Excellent service, incredible artists, wonderful choreography and costumes. It's well worth the price. Totally justified. The champagne was delicious.

It was a show worthy of a cabaret! There was a wide variety of performances, costumes, dancing, acrobatics, and excitement! The atmosphere alone makes it worth it.

The truth is that the experience at the Eiffel Tower was great, even though the weather was pretty bad and gray. The best part was that we didn't have to wait at all; there was no line, and we even went straight through the fast line reserved for guides, which saves a lot of time and makes you feel very secure with the entire access protocol. A key tip for other travelers is that, even though they give you a meeting time, you don't actually enter the monument until about 15 minutes after the initial meeting time, so don't despair. We know that tickets to the top by elevator are sometimes hard to come by, but the Headout website makes everything much simpler. We walked from the first and second floors to the top floor via elevator. Our guide was great: although the tour was officially only in English, she was super friendly and made a huge effort to speak to us in Spanish so we wouldn't miss anything. We had a great time and the views, even with clouds, are totally unbeatable.

Our guided tour of the Eiffel Tower was outstanding. The guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the history feel alive rather than scripted. We skipped the chaos, learned real context, and enjoyed incredible views. Easily one of the highlights of our Paris trip.

Our tour was very enjoyable. Our son is a tennis player, so it was his dream to see that place. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and shared many great details. It was a wonderful memory for us.

My visit to the Musée des Invalides was a real dive into history. Upon arrival, the architecture commands respect and silence. Each room tells a piece of France's military past. The armor and uniforms are impressive in their precision and condition. One can imagine the soldiers who wore them and the battles they fought. The cannons and period objects bear witness to centuries of conflict. The atmosphere is both solemn and captivating. You move slowly, almost naturally, to take everything in. The explanations help you to better understand the historical issues at stake. Some periods stand out more than others due to their intensity. The place invites reflection on war and its consequences. The richness of the collections is impressive. Every detail seems steeped in memory. The tour is dense but well organized. Time flies by. The calm contrasts with the violence of the events recounted. The visit becomes almost introspective. Arriving at Napoleon's tomb is a powerful moment. The place commands deep respect. The grandeur of the site is immediately striking. You feel the weight of history. The light and space reinforce the emotion. It is a moment of pause and contemplation. You leave with many images in your mind. And above all, with new knowledge. The visit leaves a lasting impression. It makes you want to learn more. An essential place to understand the history of France.

I was in Paris for a week and had planned to just find the Emily in Paris locations myself and kind of do my own little tour, but when I saw this tour, and how reasonably priced it was, I decided to do it, and I'm so glad I did! Our guide was Natalia, and she is American, born in Italy, but living in Paris for I think she said 30 years, so she spoke perfect English. She was very friendly and knowledgeable about both the city of Paris, and Emily in Paris. The tour started near the Pantheon, and the first stop is just around the corner, which is Place de L'Estrapade, where both Emily's apartment is, as well as Gabriel's restaurant and the boulangerie where Emily gets her first pain au chocolat (at this point, each person on the tour was given a pain au chocolat of our own). Next, we walked to the Jardin du Luxembourg where Emily sometimes jogs. Unfortunately, it had snowed a bit this morning and it was quite cold, so the park wasn't open and we couldn't go in. From there, we walked to Cafe de Flore, where Emily meets the snooty guy (at the restaurant, they're sitting at separate tables and bond over trying to figure out if another couple is a romantic couple, or mother and son). The tour then proceeds up Rue Bonaparte to the Seine, across the river from The Louvre. Natalia pointed out to us where the recent jewel robbery happened and talked a little about that and The Louvre. We crossed the Pont des Arts bridge, waking through the buildings that make up The Louvre, arriving shortly at the Jardin du Palais Royal, stopping at the bench where Emily first meets Mindy and also the Colonnes de Buren/Les Deux Plateaux, where Mindy and Emily pose for pictures on the columns as part of her last hurrah when she was going to delete her Instagram account. I should point out that Natalia offers to take pictures of you at each of these spots and helps you recreate shots from the show. She has a binder with photos from the show at each location and shows them while talking about the locations. I chose to recreate a Mindy/Emily picture on the columns with a woman from Germany who I became friends with on the tour (we now follow each other on Instagram). The final stop on the tour is the offices of L'agence Grateau. As I mentioned, Natalia not only talks about the show, but along the way, she points out interesting Paris history. A cute "Paris by Emily" tote bag is included, as well as a polaroid picture in a little Emily in Paris frame. You can choose to have your polaroid taken at any of the tour stops. I had mine done on the bench in the Jardin du Palais Royal. This tour was so much fun and a great value for the cost. I also came away with 2 new friends, Tanya and Sarah, so I'm very satisfied with it. If you're going to Paris, I highly recommend taking this fun tour!
