Our hidden Paris walking tours take you off the road less traveled and let you discover places in the city that are loved by locals but often overlooked by visitors. For a particularly unique Paris walking tour, you could step away from the bustling main streets of the city center and explore eclectic Montmartre, stroll along the Canal Saint-Martin, or head further afield to the 11th arrondissement – hidden Paris walking tours have much more to reveal than you think.

My family and I travelled around Montmatre with Ewan. He showed us many sights and told us interesting stories about the area. I would highly recommend this tour.

Del was great, I had some unexpected mobility issues and Del was able to accommodate for this by modifying the original tour plan to suit. The tour itself was both informative and fun!!

With only one day in Paris on a layover, we made the most of it with an eight hour walking tour for first time visitors that passed through what felt like every notable building in central Paris. The tour was easy to book, we were able to specify our interests, and our guide Hristo kept in touch with us in advance to organize an itinerary and coordinate a meeting location. The tour was completely customizable and in our case focused on historic and cultural highlights, meandering along both banks of the Seine and then to the Arc and Eiffel Tower. Hristo provided in depth knowledge of historical facts and features on each of our stops, answered all of our questions, and provided his own personal perspectives through the walk. We took breaks when needed, visited extra places when we were ahead of schedule, and as we finished slightly early, got some help finding a place for dinner. It was a long day with a ton of walking but well worth it!

First, Ewan was wonderful. His knowledge of the area, it's history, his passion for his planning a tour specific to our requested interests were spot on. He was pleasant to be with and had a good sense of humor!
