The Paris Guy Launch - fun guided tours in Paris

New Paris guided tours in the 'City of Light' 

Last summer we were fortunate to review the Venice Food Tour with the tour company, The Roman Guy! I had never been on a food tour previously and it was marvellous! Enough food and drink to last us all day and a great way to discover hidden gems with the guidance of a Venetian tour guide. Pip and his little friend came along on the 3-hour tour, and although I was worried if the tour would be suitable for four year olds, they both had a lot of fun! Always having a big appetite, Pip was in his element as we travelled through Venice on foot, from venue to venue, sampling the best food and snacks the city offers. For Pip, the highlight of the tour was eating a double scooped ice-cream from one of the best Gelato parlours in the city! For the adults, the highlights were sampling delicious local delicacies and drink, being shown hidden corners of Venice, learning new and wonderful facts throughout the tour and it was a fun way to be shown undiscovered parts of the city!

During the Venice Food Tour with The Roman Guy

The Roman Guy hosts tours throughout Italy in Rome, Florence, Venice, the Vatican and on the Amalfi coast. There tours range from food tours, to day trips, boat rides, family friendly excursions and museum visits, all with the aim of immersing visitors into the local culture away from the crowds. I’m delighted that the Roman Guy are launching The Paris Guy! With local Parisian experts guiding each tour, the Paris Guy currently has three available itineraries.

Why pick The Paris Guy tours?

1. They are fun! 
The Venice Food Tour was a fun and exciting way to get around the city! The kids loved it and so did the adults!

2. Tours are affordable

Compared to doing it alone and what you gain from the tour itself, they are affordable and in some tours children aged 6 or under are completely free!

3. Discover hidden gems in the city 

I’ve been to Venice four times now and know the city very well. Yet, whilst on the food tour I discovered hidden corners of the city, new food and surprising facts about the city I didn’t know previously. I’m certain I would have a similar experience on one of the Paris tours.

4. Talk to a local tour guide

In tourist areas and crowded cities it can be difficult to speak to locals. The Roman Guy and The Paris Guy give you the opportunity to meet tour guides local to the city and learn interesting and unique facts you wouldn’t hear elsewhere!

5. Skip the lines and avoid the crowds

Doesn’t everyone want to the skip the queues! On all three tours in Paris you have the chance to do that just!

6. Many tours are family friendly

We went on a 3 hour city tour in Venice with two 4 year olds and although I worried initially it was absolutely fine! The Paris tours are all family friendly!

7. Meet friends on the tour

Meet like-minded people and get to know other visitors on the same tour!

8. See the city in a different way!

It’s tempting to do the same thing when returning to a city. Likewise, when visiting somewhere for the first time, it’s temping to follow the crowds and see the biggest attractions. Both the Roman Guy and Paris Guy aim to show you the biggest sites in a unique way, by avoiding the queues, getting local knowledge from an expert and having some truly unforgettable experiences!

I’m hoping to visit Paris in the near future and will definitely be trying one of the Paris Guy tours myself. If you go let me know how you get on!
