Yes, I have, in 2016.
It wasn't too bad, but the young guide did feel the need to mention that he worked only for tips about every 10 minutes.

Better tours are with the Paris Walks company.
You pay, but the guides are very knowledgeable and interesting.
No need to book, at least there didn't used to be.

Thank you SJ! I used to do the London Walks from that firm when I lived in London .. 1998!

Glad to know that they are still around and also in Paris.. I will check that out.

Many thanks!

I have done Sandemans free walking tours in a bunch of cities (Munich, Amsterdam, Lisbon, Barcelona, Paris) and have always enjoyed them. Paris was good, but towards the lower end simply because the tour was so crowded, so it's possible a paid company with a smaller group might offer something better.

You get what you pay for... Go in with low expectations

I felt like it was a waste of time. I knew more than the guide. I did tip but won't ever bother to take another one of these.
