Greetings
I've been to Paris a number of times, but this time I'm taking two friends who have never been. I'd like to do several walking tours as they have requested it as a good way to learn about the area. Since I've never taken any tours in Paris (just used Rick's book), I'm looking for recommendations. I've checked Trip Advisor etc. but thought this community might have some specific recommendations! I'm looking for walking tours. (Not food tours or a river tour.)
Thanks
Terri
I like this one for a tour of the Le Marais: https://www.withlocals.com/experiences/france/paris/le-marais-tours/
Frommer's 24 Paris Walks book has some great self guided tours; we particularly liked the architecture walk in the 16th. You can find it on line used.
There are lots of other good Paris Walks books. There is one that is a deck of 50 cards with curated short walks -- you can put several together. We would pick a church or park or other area we hadn't explored and then get the cards adjacent and use them to explore the area.
I've done a number of walks with Paris Walks (www.paris-walks.com ) that have been excellent.
I particularly enjoyed the Paris during the Occupation and Liberation walk and have done it twice. Once a friend and I wanted to do the Knights Templar walk but it wasn't given during the time we were there so we arranged for a private walk thru the company. I've also enjoyed walks thru the Marais and Montmartre with them.
Thank you for these suggestions!
