Great free running tour with the same idea as a walking tour, but for runners. Loved it!

Many meetup groups are free; others charge a nominal fee of 5 euros. Even the ones that are in French are worthwhile because they take you to places that only insiders would know of. I would highly recommend meetup groups.

I can’t say I’ve tried all the other mentioned companies, but I did try Sandemans and another company not mentioned here called http://www.culturefishtours.com . The first one was okay/good. It did feel a bit long and I was part of a very large group (over 40 people) with the guide spending a lot of time pitching the other (paid) tours and trying get us to buy them. This gave a bit of a “sales presentation” feel to some parts of the tour which I found to be a little annoying. (also found it weird to have our break at a McDs/Starbucks…) Besides that, the guide had entertaining stories to tell. The other company was really great, especially loved how they give you tips on how to behave to get along with the locals and how we were not pressured at all to tip(which made me want to tip even more!). I’m guessing they aren’t in this article because they may not have been around when it was written, from what I understood they’re only a couple years old. Keep up the good work Culturefish! 🙂

I’ve tried the companies mentioned above during my stay in Paris and I must say that sandeman was disapointing (only expat guides without the french touch expected when you visit Paris), Discover was average (nice local guide but poor accuracy on history), and Cityfree was mediocre (quite bored guide & poor english).

I would recommend a co-op walking tour company also working on the “pay as you wish” principle and which is just starting apparently. It was recommended by our hotel personnel and the guide was great: good english, witty and extremely knowledgeable.

You really get alot of great information and they focus on a small area. Fun fun fun! Yes, Paris is for walking but then I find a lot of big cities are that way too. I will mark these down to enjoy one or more of them on my next trip.
