    Le Marais and WWII

    We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Marie! We learned so much about the history of Le Marais and the experiences of the Parissenes during world war II. We were able to see all the sites we wanted to see and others that we did not know about. She was flexible and let us spend time at a place we wanted to visit. She also recommended a delicious lunch spot. And on top of being a wonderful tour guide she was also just a fun person to chat with. Highly recommend this tour!

    Response from the operator: Bonjour Robin, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review. Marie is a fantastic guide and it makes all the difference when you visit an area with such history. We are all very proud she is a core member of our team !

    The best decision

    Thank you Florent for this wonderful tour! We experienced Paris in a much more meaningful way with this WWII era tour. Florent is knowledgeable, professional and shared interesting stories . Our teenagers 15/16y enjoyed the tour as well and would like to do more. We booked our Paris trip last minute and My Private Paris organized this tour for us on 1 day notice only, they also were flexible when we had to move the time - great customer service, we will be definetely booking other tours with them.

    Response from the operator: Bonjour Krisztina ! Merci beaucoup for this wonderful review about our local expert guide Florent and this private tour on Paris during WWII. I'll be more than happy to help you arrange other tours of Paris next time you're in town ! A bientôt !

    Paris and Parisians During WWII | Private Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Paris and Parisians During WWII | Private Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $282 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 Paris and Parisians During WWII | Private Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Paris and Parisians During WWII | Private Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Paris and Parisians During WWII | Private Walking Tour?

    +

    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 Paris and Parisians During WWII | Private Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Paris and Parisians During WWII | Private Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 1 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Paris and Parisians During WWII | Private Walking Tour 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.
