Great tour! Ask for Jean to be your tour guide!

Our 2 day private tour with Jean in Paris was fabulous! Jean was extremely knowledgeable about Paris with the history & in general everything to know and show us. This is a walking tour so be prepared to do a lot of walking with some subway transportation too. My suggestion would be to book this tour and ask for Jean as your tour guide. You won’t be disappointed he will be sure to show you all the sights you want to see!

Got to see everything on...

Got to see everything on this tour! All walking and public transportation (subway) which we like. Our guide, Camila, was terrific!

Full Paris walking tour experience

We traveled by foot and metro to see the sights of Paris. We asked for an additional stop at Les Invalides and our guide accommodated us. Count on 15000 steps per day with this tour.

Short but Sweet Visit

We had only 2 days to go around Paris, but we were able to cover most of the beautiful spots we wanted to visit. Each day is a different tour guide. First day was Aurelie and second day was Camilla. Both friendly, easy to get along with and very accommodating. I was able to customize my tour. No dull moments. I felt at ease and safe with them. I highly recommend this tour for visitors with limited time in Paris.

We loved ❤️❤️ our guide...

We loved ❤️❤️ our guide Aliya!!! In the 2 days in Paris, she navigated us thru streets and history and made our tour come alive. We saw everything we wanted and more unexpected things that gave out tour a surprise. We booked the tour because language and directions are not our forte, she helped us to see the highlights for first time travelers to Paris. We loved the tour!! We loved her!!

2 Days in Paris with a Friendly Local Guide: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.

How much does 2 Days in Paris with a Friendly Local Guide cost?

+

Prices start at $495 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does 2 Days in Paris with a Friendly Local Guide take?

+

Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.

Is 2 Days in Paris with a Friendly Local Guide worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days in Paris with a Friendly Local Guide?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is 2 Days in Paris with a Friendly Local Guide suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book 2 Days in Paris with a Friendly Local Guide?

+

Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does 2 Days in Paris with a Friendly Local Guide start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Paris?

+

Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Paris?

+

April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Paris?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
