About this experience

Do you already know the monuments where you would prefer an original route to the clichés of the tourist routes of typical Paris deja-vu? These towers are for you! The “Unusual Paris” tours are not typical tours. These tours will take you away from famous statues, churches and monuments, and introduce you to an unexpected, yet delightful side to the capital. Our Parisian drivers, and passionate about history, will show you lots of life and novelties and little hidden corners of paradise. Have you heard of: The City of Flowers? The arenas of Lutèce? The Butte aux Cailles? The Alligre market? The Campaign in Paris? the entrances to the catacombs? soon yes! It's a really fun way to discover the other side of Paris, by Parisians.

AMAZING TOUR - highly recommend

This tour was wonderful! Chris was our guide and he shared so many interesting things about Paris. We never would have been able to see and do all that Chris showed us on our own. He was patient, kind, and knew all the best spots! Very enjoyable experience!

Response from the operator: Thanks for this lovely comment ! yes having a local as a guide makes a difference! Wish to see you soon eric

Fun way to see parts of Paris

So much fun. We landed in Paris and had thus your st 4:30 a bit late but we wanted to get out and see the city. It is a motorized oversized cart with your driver. Tuktuk. We drove over to the left bank area and had stops along the way to take pictures. Stopped in the St Germaine area for local food and dessert. It was dark when we ended so md y spots we did not go to. Would recommend doing this during the early afternoon to get the most out of the tour.

Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for your comment! Indeed, in winter, night falls at 5 p.m. in Paris, and the city lights up everywhere, suddenly transforming the tour into a stroll through the illuminations. Come back soon for a tour off the beaten track, because you have to experience the beating heart of the city! Eric

My family was delighted

Tour 4 "Walk around Paris Notre-Dame" reserved for 2 adults and a 6 year old girl. Everyone was delighted. Very original mode of transport to discover Paris, including for Parisians. To be repeated on another theme.

Response from the operator: Merci pour ce gentil retour! A une prochaine fois!!

The Paris of the Parisians: questions travelers ask

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

How much does The Paris of the Parisians cost?

+

Prices start at $340 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 The Paris of the Parisians 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 The Paris of the Parisians worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 8 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 The Paris of the Parisians?

+

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 The Paris of the Parisians 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 The Paris of the Parisians?

+

Around 3 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 The Paris of the Parisians 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.
