Overview

We are Discover Walks. We aim to make each tour an intimate, authentic Parisian experience. Our average group size is 10 - 15 guests, and we try to keep a max of 22 guests/guide. Also, our tours are all designed and run by local Parisians, in English. No expat to run your tour! Our tours are for people who want the tourist must-sees and also the Paris of the Parisians.

“Paris Starts Here. Small-group tour for first-timers. Notre Dame to Louvre” takes you from Notre Dame and Cité Island to Sainte Chapelle, Conciergerie/Marie-Antoinette, Louvre (old and new), le Carrousel, and Tuileries Gardens. We start at Notre Dame and even visit a special basement.

We also bring you to Point Zero in Paris. The spot where they tried to kill Napoleon. The Love Lock Bridge. Where the Grand Master of the Knights Templar was executed. And the magic place where, at the same time, you see the Eiffel Tower, the Tuileries Garden, the Champs-Élysées, and both the Arc de Triomphe and the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel.

And much more. This tour is for people who want the best of Paris in two hours.
