The tour was fantastic & the guide ( Thor) was the best guide ever! We walked, took the metro & bus. So many memories of the day! Definitely worth it.

Darla_S

Thank you Thor! You made our first afternoon a true learning adventure. Your assistance guiding us on using modes of public was excellent. I came to our meeting with a week long schedule of tours and reservations. You helped map out how to get to destinations, time needed, which stations to transfer at and what to avoid. You are truly a hidden gem in Paris. You took us to magnificent city historical locations that only scholars, seasoned travel guides, or locals would know about. Your attention to detail, guidance, and regard teach subtle nuances is a trademark of a fabulous educator. Merci!

It was very helpful to have help with planning how to get everywhere and getting the Metro all sorted for us with tickets etc. Thor was also flexible with timing when we needed to change times. He also sent us an email beforehand that pointed out how to prepare for pickpockets which was helpful.

Holly_F

Perfect way to start your Paris vacation! This helped orient us to the city, including the metro. If you will be taking the metro, which you will, take this tour. Our guide Thor was great.

Joanne_B

This is a great tour for first timers to the city! Thor, our guide definitely went above and beyond helping us get our bearings and making sure we understood the transit systems we would be using during our 10 day trip. The metro was a breeze after his thorough explanation, and we saved tons of time using all options available. He met us at our hotel and tailored our tour to exactly what questions and guidance we needed. Highly recommend!

Neil_G

First trip to Paris. Thor was very patient with our family and made sure we learned how to navigate the City. I would recommend the tour for any first timer.

Clifton_G

Thor was great! He walked us through the process of the Metro and bus system. Since we are traveling with two small kids it was extremely helpful to make the rest of our trip easier.

Ashley_S

Thor was so patient and explained details of things you wouldn't even think of! He was so kind, patient, and even entertained the kids!! Would definitely do his tour again!! At the end we felt familiar with Paris to take the metro home and use it next day!! Awesome tour!!

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.
