How Do We Find Your Office?
Are reservations needed for Classic Walks?
Yes, reservations are required for all walking tours. This is a new policy in 2012 as we are improving all of our walking tours! We have implemented a capacity to all tours to ensure the best private and personal experience for our guests. Why walk with groups of 20+ people and struggle to hear your guide speak? Unlike our competitors, we ensure a small group for all tours so book in now (reservations can be made here)!
How can I pay for a tour with Classic Walks?
We accept either cash (Euros only please) or pre-paid vouchers from our website at the time of the tour. Sorry, no credit cards, travelers checks or other currencies please.
If I make a reservation via the Classic Walks website, must I come on the day I requested?
Guests with pre-paid reservations via our website for the The Classic Walk, The Marais Walk, The World War II Walk, The French Revolution Walk, The Montmartre Walk and The Latin Quarter Walk may change the day of their tour, but only based on availability. We do limit the size of our groups to gaurantee a small group and personal experience. Walks ups are always welcome if space permits. Guests with pre-paid reservations for The Wine Tasting Experience and The D-Day Beaches Day Trip must come on the day for which they reserved.
How do I know who the guide is?
All Classic Walks guides will be wearing a Classic Walks shirt or visibly holding our brochures for you to see.
How long do the tours approximately last?
The Classic Walk: 3.5 hours
The Marais Walk, World War II, Montmartre, French Revolution and Latin Quarter Walks: 2 hours
The Wine Tasting Experience: 2 hours
The D-Day Beaches Day Trip: 10 hours (Please consider 4-hour round-trip train travel.)

Extremely Knowledgeable
Just thought I’d drop a note that I took 3 tours in Paris this past two days - Classic Walk, Montmarte Walk and Night Bike Tour and each was more wonderful than the previous. I was in Paris for business by myself and your guides (John Paul and Chaz) made the trip feel like I was among friends. Both of my guides were extremely knowledgeable about the history of Paris and buildings and made each trip extremely memorable. Whatever you are doing to have such great guides, keep up the good work. Had a great time and would recommend the tours to anyone traveling abroad.
Thanks again!
