    • A Perfect Private Walking Tour: Notre Dame, Local Secrets & Exceptional Guide

    My friend and I had a fantastic private walking tour of the Notre Dame area with Jeremy! He was fun, engaging, highly informative, and kept in great touch before the tour. The meeting spot was super easy to find, and we learned so much history we never would have discovered on our own. Highlights included seeing Paris's oldest tree, the oldest restaurant, the outside of Notre Dame, and Shakespeare & Co. bookstore (just keep an eye out for the angry Irishman working there 😅!). A truly wonderful experience with a great guide—highly recommend! Merci beaucoup, Jeremy!

    Great experience, 10/10

    Had a great time exploring Paris with Jeremy, he was very informative and knowledgeable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again, great value for money and some of the the things I learned over the 2-3 hour tour I wouldn’t have known otherwise.

    Fascinating facts and back street gems

    Jeremy gave us a brilliant morning’s tour with loads of interesting facts and fascinating stories.He took us to some wonderful places that were away from the main attractions and had a great knowledge of some super stories that brought in a whole new perspective. The tour lasted just over two hours and whilst the initial cost of the tour seemed very cheap, even with the tip that we chose to give- it was still fair value ( especially as we were fortunate that it was just the two of us) Would certainly recommend for a chilled vibe and good sense of humour.

    This was a perfect tour...

    This was a perfect tour to hit some of the highlights without it being a generic history tour! Jeremy was a blast showing us some really cool off-the-beaten-path spots, and throwing in some great humor and history tidbits. He took the time to explain so much more than the places we were seeing and we even had time for a drink at the oldest cafe in Paris. My wife and I loved everything about this tour!

    Rude Bastards Tour of Paris: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Rude Bastards Tour of Paris cost?

    +

    Prices start at $5 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 Rude Bastards Tour of Paris take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Rude Bastards Tour of Paris worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 76 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 Rude Bastards Tour of Paris?

    +

    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 Rude Bastards Tour of Paris suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Rude Bastards Tour of Paris?

    +

    Around 27 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Rude Bastards Tour of Paris 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 Rude Bastards Tour of Paris?

    +

    Included: A skilled guide who will accompany you for the entire journey. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Rude Bastards Tour of Paris?

    +

    The guide will wait for you outside the metro exit 3, Fontaine Saint-Michel Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Rude Bastards Tour of Paris 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 Rude Bastards Tour of Paris?

    +

    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 Rude Bastards Tour of Paris wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Rude Bastards Tour of Paris if the weather is bad?

    +
