This tour kinda made me fall in love with Paris—that’s thanks to Carla and the superb job she did showing us her city, with lots of great history and personal insights. The lights were gorgeous and the entire tour was a joy. Highly recommended!
Oh boy, it was freezing, but Walid took us to some great places. The lights were spectacular and we were able to buy from the oldest bakery in Paris (delicious!). He even took us to a small Christmas Market at the end. Great tour!
That was the best tour choice to make, as a first timer in Paris. Alex was very patient and knew a lot of secrets about the city. He also showed us places we would never go if it wasn’t for him. My parents also loved it! We strongly recommend!!
Lou was amazing! She showed me the beautiful lights around town, and was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of each area we walked. She was also super accommodating!
The Christmas walking tour of Paris felt like being welcomed into the city’s private winter diary. Our guide was deeply knowledgeable without ever being pedantic, weaving history, design, and gentle humor into every stop. As we strolled past glowing department store windows and softly lit passages, she explained the traditions behind the decorations, the architecture framing them, and the subtle differences from arrondissement to arrondissement. The pace was unhurried, perfect for lingering, asking questions, and truly seeing Paris rather than rushing through it. By the end, the city felt warmer, more intimate, and beautifully alive—less like a postcard and more like a place that had briefly taken us into its confidence. Thank you Clara for a wonderful tour!
Lou was exceptional explaining some history and showing us the Parisian Christmas lights around Paris and taking us on the metro to see more lights. She went above and beyond! Also enjoyed a special treat of hot chocolate and a candy treat.
Had a very relaxing Christmas lights and history tour of inner Paris. Plenty of information and history given, and time for pictures of Xmas lights at night.
Juliette was very professional and adjusted the tour for us and our needs. We recommend this tour, especially at the start of your stay in Paris.
Clara is a great tour guide. She has so much knowledge of the Paris city and French culture and history. Plus that she is very friendly and helpful in the whole tour. It was such a pleasure to join her tour group. I certainly would like to recommend her to my friends and colleagues.
Our first visit to Paris in winter. The lights are great way to explore the city and are gorgeous! I especially liked the shopping gallery, which has some really cute small businesses. Our guide helped us take some great pictures and we even stopped for food and drinks. I would also recommend going with kids, as they would love the Christmas markets and the rides in the Tuilerie garden.
