Before you book, anything else, book this tour for your first full day in Paris. Thor will show you the ropes! Not only did we get to see all of the best neighborhoods in Paris, learn about covered passages, get amazing restaurant recommendations, and learn some history, but we also got a lesson on how to use the metro and the bus system. This in and of itself was worth the price of the tour ticket! We used what we learned all week and I’m sure it saved us a lot of time and a lot of money. I thoroughly enjoyed the sort of “unstructured” nature of this tour in that we started at our VRBO in Paris and the tour organically unfolded from there. It felt like we met a friend of a friend who was showing us around his favorite city! I took lots of notes along the way so we could have the best week possible in Paris. Be prepared to walk A LOT. It’s the best way to see all that Thor has in store for you. I can’t recommend this highly enough!!!!

We enjoyed our time with Thor. We traveled all around ver Paris via bus and metro. The highlight was ending the tour with a rooftop view of the city.

This was a great tour, and I think a must do for anyone new to Paris that wants to use the metro, trains and buses. Thor was prompt in meeting up with us, and took us to the train station and helped us buy our Navigo passes. We then rode the RER, metro and a bus with him to see how it all worked and to get tips and tricks from him. We explored the Latin Quarter a bit, and were able to find our way back to our hotel, on our own once we were finished. We bought daily passes and had no problems navigating Paris after our time with Thor. Thanks!

Steven_L

Thor was great! This tour helped us learn about navigating the transportation systems to get around Paris. Awesome job!

Stephanie_M

A great first day in Paris. Thor took me all over the city, helped me purchase a Navigo card and tried out the metro and busses. Lots of historical knowledge and a native English speaker. I’m traveling solo, so was really helpful in making me feel confident in using public transit (none where I live) and getting around. Definitely worth every penny!

A must do when you arrive in Paris. Thor was absolutely exceptional. He taught us how to maneuver the public transportations, gave us tips and told us what to watch out for. He asked what our plans were and made sure we knew how to get there. He was a lifesaver.

Brooke_H

This is a great little tour for a first timer to Paris who plans on using the public transport system. I have managed to get my mother & I around the city using public transport as a result of this tour. Suggest doing it on your first day in Paris. We were also given lots of little hints & tips that have come in handy during our time here.

Danny_W

Great tour! He personalized it to meet our needs for our quick 4 day stay. He showed us the ropes with the subway, told us the best way to get to the sights we wanted to see, pointed out highlights and hidden gems along our planned routes and was just an all around nice guy. Not only was the time we spent with him fun, it set us up to see and do the most we could in our short, introductory trip to Paris.

Thomas_D

Thor was our guide and he was awesome. I highly recommend this tour if it is your first time in paris. I would also recommend if you can have him for the whole day. very informative and very fun to hang out with.

Nigel_H

Thor was fantastic, went over and above, a great start to our Paris visit, giving us important information regarding moving around Paris and visits to many important places.
