WWII Paris under occupation tour
Our guide, Thom, was knowledgeable not only regarding the subject matter but also how it related to other global events. He encouraged interaction and questions which was great. A wonderful morning with several local suggestions thrown in as well. Time well spent! Limited participants made the tour more engaging too! Thanks Thom.
Response from the operator: Dear Tracey, Thanks a million for your beautiful review! We really appreciate it. Can't wait to have you again on one of our new tours! Warmly, Fat Cat Tours

Really enjoyed the tour...
Really enjoyed the tour but some of the things in the description were never discussed. That being said, our small group asked a lot of off topic questions. It was an enjoyable way to learn about some of the neighborhoods in Paris.
Response from the operator: Dear Sally, Thank-you for your review, we truly appreciate your feedback and will make sure to communicate with our team. Our mission is to provide the best experience possible for our guests. We hope to have the pleasure to see you again soon in Paris! Fat Cat Tours

Interesting walk and...
Interesting walk and conversation with Boris. We learned a great deal and got a better sense of life under German occupation.

History is right in front of us
This was a fascinating insight into a very challenging time for the citizens of Paris. Abby, our tour guide, is so knowledgeable and engaging. She walked us through four arrondissements, pointing out noteworthy locations and explaining how they were significant in the Occupation. This was an exceptional tour and I highly recommend it if you are interested in WWII and resistance history.
Response from the operator: Dear Valerie, We are so pleased to see you loved your WWII Paris Under Occupation with Abbie. We hope to have the chance to see you again soon in Paris. Warmly, Fat Cat Tours

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
WWII Paris Under the Occupation Walking Tour Limited to 6 Guests: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does WWII Paris Under the Occupation Walking Tour Limited to 6 Guests cost?
+
Prices start at $159 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 WWII Paris Under the Occupation Walking Tour Limited to 6 Guests 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 WWII Paris Under the Occupation Walking Tour Limited to 6 Guests worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 WWII Paris Under the Occupation Walking Tour Limited to 6 Guests?
+
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 WWII Paris Under the Occupation Walking Tour Limited to 6 Guests suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book WWII Paris Under the Occupation Walking Tour Limited to 6 Guests?
+
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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does WWII Paris Under the Occupation Walking Tour Limited to 6 Guests 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.
