About this experience
Paris, a city once consumed by Nazi occupation, forgotten wartime secrets linger, waiting to be uncovered. You’ll come to understand the haunting complexities of life beneath Nazi rule. As you wander through these storied lanes, you’ll feel the presence of those who lived and struggled here. Perhaps you’ll stumble upon a piece of your own family’s history, a history though distant, feels unnervingly close. From the personal stories that still echo in the walls, to the towering figures who shaped the city’s fate, you’ll gain an intimate understanding of what it truly meant to survive this dark chapter in time. Paris during World War II will come alive in front of your eyes, explore a once-hidden hotel that sheltered both Holocaust survivors and their Nazi captors, discover bullet-riddled buildings where those who served and protected faced unimaginable peril, and so much more.

Could do better
This walk was below expectations. Ewan was content heavy and had a limited range of information. Not satisfied with the experience

Fantastic Tour!
Our tour guide Clement was a real treat. He was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and made learning WWII history of Paris under German occupation very enjoyable and interesting. This tour was one of my highlights of visiting Paris.

A very complete...
A very complete tour-visit of the history of Paris during W.W. 2. I really recommend it. The tour is by foot, so I advise you, to bring your baskets shoes.
Response from the operator: Thanks alot Pilar! So glad you enjoyed it! Take good care and see you next time ;)

Excellent tour of Occupied Paris
Ewan did a fantastic job. Our family had a very nice walk around the Left Bank and saw many highlights of Occupied Paris, and he even added some literary highlights as well. We highly recommend his tour.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much! Really glad you enjoyed it! Come back and see us in Paris anytime!

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Paris Occupied World War Two History Walking tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Paris Occupied World War Two History Walking tour cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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 Occupied World War Two History 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 Occupied World War Two History Walking tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 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 Occupied World War Two History 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 Occupied World War Two History 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 Occupied World War Two History 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 Occupied World War Two History 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.
