Tours are in English, and they are all free – tips & donations are welcome. You can do all 3 walks in one day by starting with Landmarks/Right Bank.Guests say Discover Walks are like exploring Paris in the company of a local friend. « less

My husband and I did two Paris walks ,one around Monmarte and the other from the Paris Opera house. Both were led by Caroline,who was friendly and very imformative as well as passionate about her beautiful city. I highly recomend these walks as they take you on a journey of the less well known sites and history of the areas. More

I took the Discovery Tour of Notre Dame, and had planned on taking three other tours with the company. The guide was friendly and informative, although not all of his information was correct (Heloise and her lover are not buried in the house; they are out at the Pere Lachaise Cemetery). Made me wonder if his story about the barber... More

I recommend the Discover Walks 100%! I did the Latin Quarter tour with Flora on a rainy day in January. This was my third time in Paris, yet I felt doing the tour was really worth it, as I learned a lot of new things and had a lot of fun. I was there visiting a friend who‘s French herself... More

Young Parisians showing their loved spots, who can ask for more? They talk about what they love and at the end you decide how much to remunerate. It is a perfect way to walk around this beautifull city. Very very recommendable!!! More

DiscoverWalks This is from someone who does not know the history of Paris. I was a solo traveler from New York when I went to Paris in March 2011. I read about DiscoverWalks through Tripadvisor and read about two years worth of reviews before I decided to give them a try. I wasn't exactly sure where to meet because their... More

We took 4 of the 5 Paris Discover Walks on our recent trip to Paris. We found the guides quite friendly and passionate about their city.I liked that the walks were mostly small groups and the guide made an effort to really educate you about the sights. My favorites were the Monmatre, Latin Quarter, and Monuments tour. If you are... More

If you love to hunt for "treasures" this is the place. It is so large (2,500 to 3,000 stalls) that we had a guide from Discover Walks ( they do great tours all over Paris - no reservations just show up - fantastic) with Alex Gourevitch. He was fantastic. He walked us through many of the different markets that make... More

I went on two of these walking tours, the first around Montmartre, and the second from the Paris Opera. Both tours were good and it was nice to hear that only local guides run the tours. Both tours went for more than an hour which was nice, though make sure you ask the guide how far from the end of... More
