Do Not Book!
DO NOT book this tour! It is a rip off! We paid for the full 4 hour tour including public transport to Les Invalieds Museum. Firstly: the guide did not show up to the supplier stipulated meeting point. Secondly, the guide rang us and blamed us for the meeting point and demanded we catch a cab to Les Invalides Museum, which we did (costing more money for something we had already paid for). Even after we arrived the guide kept demanding to know why we chose that meeting point. I tried to explain to him that it was simply the place where we were told to meet him. He kept insisting that the stipulated meeting point must be our hotel (it wasn't). We had to catch a car to the meeting point. If they had wanted us to meet at Les Invalides, then it would have been much easier and cheaper for us to go there directly. Thirdly: The option we chose included a WWII tour of the "Old Town" - that never happened. Fourtly: Our guide kept saying he didn't know why we would want to do that anyway, because the sites were so far apart. As I was using a walking cane he also told me that I would never have made it anyway (I wonder where he acquired his medical degree to make such an assessment). Fifthly: the tour was supposed to take 4 hours. Our guide left after three. We paid over AUD$1,200 for this tour. What a total waste of money!
Response from the operator: Dear Kelly_M, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly sorry to learn that the tour did not meet your expectations. We understand how frustrating it must have been to experience confusion regarding the meeting arrangements and to feel that the tour differed from what you had booked. Your feedback is important to us and has been shared with our team for careful review, as we are committed to providing a well-organized and enjoyable experience for every guest. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. Regards, Rosotravel

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
World War II in Paris Private Tour with Les Invalides Museum: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does World War II in Paris Private Tour with Les Invalides Museum cost?
+
Prices start at $33 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 World War II in Paris Private Tour with Les Invalides Museum 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 World War II in Paris Private Tour with Les Invalides Museum worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (1/5 across 1 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 World War II in Paris Private Tour with Les Invalides Museum?
+
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 World War II in Paris Private Tour with Les Invalides Museum 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 World War II in Paris Private Tour with Les Invalides Museum?
+
Around 0 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 World War II in Paris Private Tour with Les Invalides Museum 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.
