Private Paris History Walking Tour
The story of Paris is incredible. On this private comprehensive tour you will take a walk through two thousand years of history to discover how 'The City of Light' became the place it is today. Of course, you will get amazing photo opportunities of some of the most iconic buildings but you will also learn the stories behind them. These are tales of war, religion, revolution, commoners and kings that have left a lasting mark on the city and still live on in the culture and fabric of the place you visit today. The history of Paris is brutal, bloody and often heartbreaking...but always utterly fascinating. If there is only time for one short tour on your trip to Paris, make it this one!
