What you get

    About this experience

    Escape the crowds that linger on Paris’ large avenues to a neighborhood filled with bucolic scenes within the city. On this audio tour, the local Comte de Saint-Germain will show you a side of Paris that most people don’t see. You'll wind your way through streets adorned with art nouveau mosaics around Parc Montsouris in the 14th arrondissement, to a small plaza in the 13th arrondissement that'll remind you of Provence. Along the way, he’ll tell you about Paris’ complex water system and let you in on where the city’s drinking water comes from. (Here’s a hint, it doesn’t come from the Seine River!) Allow 1.5 hours for this walk. There are several stops, some with benches for you to rest on, and public restrooms along the way. You can download the tour on your phone and do it at any time to enjoy virtually using VoiceMap's Continuous Play option or on-site where the GPS will guide you: just listen to the stories of diverse locals and follow the Comte’s directions.

    Delightful secrets

    We had a great time following this audio tour. Even though we got momentarily lost in a couple of occasions, it was great experience. Discovering such interesting and hidden parts of the area was so enjoyable.

    Pretty Little Paris

    My Mum and I were not sure how to spend our last hours in Paris, when I came across this self guided tour. How lucky I did, we thoroughly enjoyed it We loved walking down back streets looking at the pretty , quaint houses as well as seeing some sights and history that we were unaware of. The app was easy to install and being able to hear and read the information was very handy. The only improvement I would add is giving instructions how to get to the metro, tram or bus as we had an anxious time trying to work out how to get back to our accommodation.

    It’s still a secret because we saw nothing!

    Hopeless! The entire excursion was a disaster. A complete waste of a morning in Paris! The audio was confusing and we were unable to progress past the first bit of the audio. If we faced the wrong way or could not locate the walking area it would tell us er were lost. This happened continually until we gave up and caught a taxi to our hotel. I am very upset and angry that this was so extremely difficultly follow! We are experienced travellers too!

    Response from the operator: Hi Katie We're sorry you had difficulty getting the tour to work. It's a well-enjoyed tour with countless five-star reviews on VoiceMap. Could you please get in contact with us directly about your experience so we can investigate what happened? Thanks, Alicia

    Enter the spirit of Paris

    I have lived in this area of Paris for five years, and discovered lots of new sights and history. The tour really takes you off the beaten path, and makes you look at things with fresh eyes. Highly recommended, and hoping the Count of Saint-Germain does more tours soon!

    A Self-Guided Audio Tour Around Parc Montsouris: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does A Self-Guided Audio Tour Around Parc Montsouris cost?

    +

    Prices start at $12 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 A Self-Guided Audio Tour Around Parc Montsouris take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 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 A Self-Guided Audio Tour Around Parc Montsouris worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule A Self-Guided Audio Tour Around Parc Montsouris?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is A Self-Guided Audio Tour Around Parc Montsouris suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book A Self-Guided Audio Tour Around Parc Montsouris?

    +

    Around 2 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does A Self-Guided Audio Tour Around Parc Montsouris 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.
