Hands down our absolute favorite experience in Paris! Felt like we had an insider view. We were picked up directly from our hotel and escorted throughout the city. Helle was an incredible guide—exceptionally knowledgeable and effortlessly kept our 6- and 9-year-olds captivated from start to finish. Truly went above and beyond. We couldn't recommend Helle more highly!

Description
Discover Paris as a family — not in separate parent/kid tracks, and not through treasure hunts and worksheets. This tour is crafted so you all enjoy Paris, together. Entertain the kids or inform the adults? Don’t choose! Enjoy Paris, and turn the city into a shared memory for the family. Family-Friendly Paris Must-Sees - Notre Dame – Latin Quarter – River Seine – Louvre & pyramid – Love-lock Bridge - Eiffel Tower – arc de Triomphe (all outside) Your guide adapts every stop/story/ activity to your child’s age and personality: enough hands-on discovery for kids to stay engaged, enough depth and insight for adults to truly see Paris. We explore real Paris — lively squares, secret corners, kid-friendly bakeries, fun details on facades, and stories that spark imagination. No rushing, no long lines, no long straight walks. Just an engaging discovery of Paris that works for all ages. Families pick this for the shared experience: Not kid-only, not adult-only. You make memories together.

Benjamin was great- seeing the Palais Royal and the Latin Quarter was fabulous! Would definitely recommend.
Helle was an outstanding tour guide! She customized the tour to appeal to everything my 7YO daughter was into. We had so much fun, highly recommend!
excellent!!! Thank you Raquel, Kenya, also to Brenda and Vitai for taking such loving care of our boy Federico, we will continue to enjoy it until next Tuesday, we had an incredible time The super comfortable room The mini club is the best!!!!
We did this tour on our first morning in Paris and it was the perfect way to get acclimated to the city while learning about it along the way. Our guide Helle was kind, knowledgeable and customized the tour for our interests and for our 9 year old daughter. We started at our hotel and walked for 2 hours but the time flew and none of us were ever tired or bored! We all learned so much and this was the perfect way to kick off our stay in Paris.
What a wonderful way to see Paris. Our guide was Adrian (might be spelled wrong) and he was wonderful. Engaging, let us modify the tour as we wanted. He showed up at our hotel about 10 minutes early and we left right on time. Took the Metro and then started our tour. We saw so MUCH it was almost overwhelming. My only complaint is that communication was a little spotty. We booked this in May and it was not until about a week before that the company started to respond and we could discuss what we wanted to see. Further, they only wanted to communicate through Viator and would not communicate directly. I understand the reason for this but it made communicating difficult.
Discovery Walks did an amazing job creating a very personal experience for our 9-year-old as well as mom and dad. We asked for a tour that helped our son learn what it is like to be a similarly aged child in Paris and they knocked it out of the park by creating a very impactful opportunity for our son to attend a bi-lingual school in Paris. It was a very special experience for us all. Thank you for an amazing experience!
Very expensive for what was provided. There was a guide and that’s it. I had to buy the metro tickets and the ice cream. Of course no admission to museums but it was $200 an hour for someone to walk with six people….two of us being former French teachers. I could have easily done what was provided
bonjour. you paid for your metro tickets during your tour? I am so sorry. Of course that cost is on us. Not sure what happened here. I will be in touch with you directly to sort out. And yes, this private tour includes public transport costs like metro and the bus (not a private car or a taxi, that would be different. but metro, yes, of course). also fyi, our "Paris with kids" service includes a guide that specializes in kids, with dedicated training. We also adjust the route and content according to the age and the interests of the kids on the tour. thank you, and happy travels,
We had a private family tour with Thibaut and it was worth every penny. My 7 and 10 year old were engaged and he made it really interesting by taking us off the beaten track a little to discover some parts of paris I would never have thought to visit. Loved it.
Floriane, our guide, was excellent! She was entertaining and knowledgeable, and she helped us get our bearings on our first full day in the city. She kept our kids (13, 7) engaged as well as me and my wife.
