Yahoo for Yohann and the Sight Seekers Paris Tour Company!
Sight seekers Paris is a local tour company that provided a fantastic tour for me and my friend. We booked the "Piece de Resistance" tour which explored the history of men and women who fought for Paris during the Nazi occupation in WWII. Yohann was our great tour guide! He was personable, kind, and knowledgeable about the sites around Paris and their relation to WWII. He also told personal stories about his grandparents and people he had met who had experienced the horrors of the Holocaust, which lent a personal feel to the tour. Because the nature of the tour could be overwhelming and sad, he brought appropriate levity throughout the tour at the proper times. Yohann was also considerate, often stopping so we could sit if we wanted during the three hour tour. We highly recommend Yohann, the tour company, as well as this specific tour. When I return to Paris, I will take the Jewish tour of the Marais district with Sight Seekers Tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! You make my job a pleasure. You are learning from me as much as I am learning from you. See you soon! A bientôt!

Outstanding French Resistance walk
I highly recommend the French Resistance Walk; it was fascinating! Stephanie was excellent and I was so impressed by her depth of knowledge and ability to convey it in both an interesting and detailed way. Sometimes tour guides don’t provide in-depth info or talk too slow, but she did neither! I have taken many walking tours and this was truly one of the very best!!
Response from the operator: Thank you! I will pass on the comment to Stephanie. She is a well of knowledge. I am glad you had a good time.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Paris in World War II: Resistance Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Paris in World War II: Resistance Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at €80 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 in World War II: Resistance Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 in World War II: Resistance Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 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 in World War II: Resistance 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 in World War II: Resistance Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Paris in World War II: Resistance 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Paris in World War II: Resistance 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 Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based), Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX. 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.
What is included in Paris in World War II: Resistance Walking Tour?
+
Included: Guide. Not included: Tea and coffee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Paris in World War II: Resistance Walking Tour?
+
In front of the metro Cité, right next to the flower market Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Paris in World War II: Resistance Walking Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Paris in World War II: Resistance Walking Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Paris in World War II: Resistance Walking Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+

What happens to Paris in World War II: Resistance Walking Tour if the weather is bad?
+
