    Highly recommend this experience!

    On a very hot afternoon, we did an excellent tour with Pat. She was a very good guide. Interesting subject matter, unflinchingly presented and not your average walking tour at all. Very impressive. The group also appreciated that she was conscientious about keeping us in as much shade as possible and delivering her information while we were seated if it was available. I have done many walking tours and this was one of the best. I look forward to exploring some of the other itineraries on a return trip to Paris. This company is a gem!

    A magical tour

    We went on a tour with Pat on a sunny Tuesday of April for an English class we are taking in our school. She gave us a lot of delightful and interesting stories about female historian figures, and was very welcoming and cheerful ! We learned a lot about our own country and History, especially since she was able to answer every question we had. Lots of love from the IIM Digital School Students

    No serious female tourists in Paris? C'mon!

    My tout of Great Women in Parisian History was cancelled due to noone else signing up for it... No serious women tourists? C'mon women! I was offered the very fluffly alternative of a Women's Fashion Greats- Really?

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re truly sorry for the disappointment you experienced. The period in which you booked is one of the quietest times of the year, and we do advise during the booking process that tours may occasionally be cancelled if the minimum number of participants is not met. Unfortunately, this was the case for your “Great Women in Parisian History” tour, and we understand how frustrating that can be. Our intention in offering you our fashion tour was simply to provide an alternative experience rather than leave you without any option at all. In fact, our Women Who Made Haute Couture isn’t “fluffy” at all and perhaps you would have discovered this had you actually taken the tour. As a small, independent business, we put a great deal of care into creating meaningful and empowering experiences. Leaving a negative review only hurts our small business, especially when the circumstances were communicated in advance.

    Learned lots with this tour!

    Our guide Pat was friendly and knowledgeable. She handled questions as they arose. I definitely learned quite a bit on the tour even though I read a fair amount of history. There were just 5 of us in the group so we could all hear and interact. Highly recommend.

    Unique Guided Walking Tour of Great Women in Parisian History: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Unique Guided Walking Tour of Great Women in Parisian History cost?

    +

    Prices start at $37 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 Unique Guided Walking Tour of Great Women in Parisian History 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 Unique Guided Walking Tour of Great Women in Parisian History worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 91 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Unique Guided Walking Tour of Great Women in Parisian History?

    +

    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 Unique Guided Walking Tour of Great Women in Parisian History 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 Unique Guided Walking Tour of Great Women in Parisian History?

    +

    Around 32 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 Unique Guided Walking Tour of Great Women in Parisian History 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.
