It dates back to the Middle Ages, when it started out as a hunting lodge and then grew into the glittering residence of French kings. Recognize the place in the gardens where Midnight in Paris was shot, and remember some locations inside the building. As some of the locations are not for everyone, Allen was able to receive special permission to film there.

Shakespeare and Company
The movie’s particular attention is focused on the writers from the 1920s, so the symbolic Shakespeare and Company English-language bookstore made its way into the film.

The original Sylvia Beach’s bookstore closed in 1941.

No, Definitely Not
Not at all what was promised / advertised in the description. The guide couldn't make it so someone else was sent last minute. He was very personable, and that is the only reason for two stars.
Response from the operator: Dear Karen, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience did not fully match your expectations or what you anticipated from the tour description. The guide assigned to you is actually one of our top-rated guides, known for being personable and engaging, so we’re glad to hear that this aspect stood out positively during your tour. That said, we sincerely regret that the overall experience still felt different from what you were hoping for. Your feedback is important to us, and we will review both the tour presentation and guest expectations more carefully moving forward to ensure better alignment. Thank you again for your comments, we truly appreciate them. Warm regards,

They must be told it’s a walking tour. We didn’t see that anywhere while booking and it disturbed me at first because I didn’t know Paris. The guide should use an iPad device instead of a phone to share scenes and images to refresh the film for the tour. Lastly, Viator should have purchased the needed metro tickets-after paying 220 E it was poor business to ask us for 15E for tickets. Just charge 115E for the tour. I’d recommend the tour only to a real fan of the film, but not the casual traveler.

You are going to love this adventure!
Where to begin ??? First let me say, that I have wasn’t sure what to expect when I booked this tour. I was expecting a group tour, and didn’t realize that I would be spending my time with a brilliant, not to mention charming and handing man. I was met at my hotel, so it was easy peasy to meet my tour coordinator. We metro’d to the first stop, and away we went, stopping along the way not only to visit the movie sites, but also to get to know the fascinating history of all the buildings that I have walked by for years, and never paid any attention. We walked through a farmer’s market on the way to one of our stops, and had an unexpected tasting and visit with candy purveyor, not sure if this is the right title. I can not imagine a better way to spend a morning than to be in the company of this young man, and listen to him talk about the movie as well as the history of some of Paris’s most important sites. Bravo Jacobabo. Merci Beaucoup

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour with Guide to Midnight in Paris Movie Locations: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Private Tour with Guide to Midnight in Paris Movie Locations cost?
+
Prices start at $39 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 Private Tour with Guide to Midnight in Paris Movie Locations 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 Private Tour with Guide to Midnight in Paris Movie Locations worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 7 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 Private Tour with Guide to Midnight in Paris Movie Locations?
+
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 Private Tour with Guide to Midnight in Paris Movie Locations 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 Private Tour with Guide to Midnight in Paris Movie Locations?
+
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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour with Guide to Midnight in Paris Movie Locations 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.
