Tour description

Ah, Paris, the capital of elegance, chic, love, art and science. Its architecture and ambiance are truly iconic, and its people famous for their achievements and... sense of pride.

The city rose from its humble beginnings as a marshland settlement, became a Roman colony, seat of the early Frankish monarchs to finally set trends as the biggest medieval city in Europe. Home to many revolts and societal changes, it evolved as the capital of the free thinkers and... the most famous revolution changing the political landscape of the western civilization forever. With its final overdo in the 19th century, its elegant boulevards became a go-to model for many other cities. Today, Paris retains many of its fortes, adding a spice of modernity.

All this can get a little overwhelming, so why not have a helping hand while diving in? Walkative will grant you that and much more, with our local guides taking you on a fascinating journey through Paris most important monuments and histories, including:

  • ︎Hotel de Ville(Paris City Hall)
  • Notre-Dame Cathedral 
  • Sainte Chapelle 
  • Conciergerie 
  • Pont Neuf
  • Pont des Arts
  • Louvre (history of the palace and museum)
  • Carrousel Arch
  • Tuileries gardens 
  • And much, much more!
