Rude Bastards Tour of Paris
Description
Paris: the city of love, lights, and a whole lot of historical drama. If you’re looking for a tour that sugarcoats the past, this ain’t it. But if you’re up for a politically incorrect, humor-laden stroll through the heart of Paris, welcome to the Rude Bastards Tour. History isn’t just dates and facts—it’s full of scandal, intrigue, and absurdity. Our guides don’t shy away from the messy bits; they revel in them. Expect a tour that’s as enlightening as it is entertaining, with a healthy dose of irreverence. tarting from the historic neighborhood of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, we will walk to the Notre Dame Cathedral, crossing he romantic Seine into the Île de la Cité, one of Paris's two natural islands. We will end the tour by walking up to the Louvre Museum and through its yard.

This tour was a really fun and interactive way to learn about the history of central Paris. Jeremy was very friendly and I appreciated that he regularly threw questions out to the group, so it wasn’t just him talking for two hours straight. The Rude Bastards tours are such a fun way to experience history and they don’t shy away from all the beheadings either.
Great Jeremy, i was so interesting and funny. Really really recommend this tour
Our tour guide Iris was fabulous! She shared some great stories and showed us some hidden gems we would have never known of! A fun way to see some classics and off the beaten path spots.
We had a lovely tour with Iris! She was so insightful! I enjoyed all the stories she shared stories about the city which I’d never heard and pointed out details in its architecture that I had previously missed like mother in law gargoyle !!
We had the best time visiting Paris with our tour guide Iris! It was the perfect mix of history, culture, and getting to chat with a local!! Thank you for all your tips on Paris and your great energy - highly recommend!
Iris was a fantastic guide for an overview of the history of Paris with a great focus on the fun more risqué stories you wouldn’t find on any other tour! We got to learn some things we didn’t get the previous day on a food tour that covered some of the same areas. Iris is clearly knowledgeable on the area and even saw a great opportunity for us to get into the Shakespeare and Company book store when normally there’s an insanely long queue! She went above and beyond and helped out with some recommendations for later on in our visit to Paris!
I took this tour with my family when I was in Paris visiting, and it was amazing! We had a fantastic tour guide named Iris and she made each story so much fun. The time flew by and I learned so much! I would 100 percent recommend and can’t wait to take another Rude Bastards tour.
Had a great tour of Paris with Jeremy (a Rude Bastard), as he took us to familiar AND unfamiliar places and regaled us with background stories we had not known (even though we’ve visited Paris many times before). Jeremy was very personal and responsive to our (many) questions. Highly recommend this tour for those who want to learn about Paris — especially about some sights and places not highlighted in your typical guide book!
I did the tour a few months ago but still can’t get over the great sights and stories I learned! Iris is a wonderful tour guide - I highly recommend!
I did my tour back in Feb. I had Iris as my tour guide. Honestly very knowledgeable person. Great thing is that she takes notes of what people in the group say so that she can review it and use it as material for another tour! So that’s great to feel like you’re participating in building her tour. Highly recommend 5 ⭐️
