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.

Jeremy was an amazing tour guide! It was wonderful walking through the city with a new perspective after learning about why certain features exist, fun traits, etc. Love being transported back in time!
We love hearing that Jeremy gave you a new perspective on Paris! It’s great to know the stories brought the city’s history to life. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience!
Jeremy was an amazing guide! The tour was fun and informative. We learnt many fascinating facts about the city :)
Thanks so much! We're glad Jeremy filled your head with fascinating Paris stories and kept you entertained along the way. We'll make sure he sees your kind words. Thanks for joining the tour!
Having gone on over 30 tours in Paris I can honestly say the Rude Bastards tour offers something unique. It felt like we were walking around the city with an old friend, but one who had hundreds of stories to choose from. My partner and I love some niche topics - and alongside the pre-existing tour Jeromie was able to offer some incredible stories about our areas of interest. We are already planning our next rude bastard tour and will be telling all our friends to join Jeromie on their next trip to Paris
Thanks so much! After 30 tours in Paris, we'll happily take "unique" as one of the best compliments out there. We're glad Jeromie could mix the tour with the stories you were most interested in. We'll make sure he sees this, and we'll be ready to welcome you on your next Rude Bastards adventure!
Please do this tour of you're in Paris. Jeremy rocked it, was loads of fun and really interesting and unique tour. 11/10! Also Jeremy has loads of other tours, we're 100% going to do the others when we come back to Paris.
Thanks so much! An 11/10? We'll happily take that. We'll let Jeremy know he's officially raised the bar. Looking forward to seeing you back in Paris for the rest of his tours. We'll try to keep the standards irresponsibly high.
Excellent tour around Saint Michel. Interesting local stories and our guide Vincenzo was engaging and kept our interest all through the tour.
Thanks so much! We're glad Vincenzo kept you hooked from start to finish and shared the stories that make Paris so much fun to explore. We'll pass your kind words on to him. Thanks for the recommendation!
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.
What a brilliant review! We're glad Jeremy kept things interactive and proved that history is much more fun when everyone gets involved. And yes... Paris has no shortage of beheadings, so it would have been rude not to mention them. Thanks for joining the Bastards!
Great Jeremy, i was so interesting and funny. Really really recommend this tour
We're so pleased you enjoyed the tour! Jeremy will be happy to hear you had such a fun time. Thanks for the recommendation, and hopefully we'll see you on another Rude Bastards tour soon!
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!
