Let’s take a walk…

Lace up some sneakers and grab a water bottle. It’s time to explore Paris.

Rebel Paris Tours is not about highlights, or secrets, or a “different” way to see Paris. That doesn’t even make any sense to me. I'm saying, let's take a walk, let’s go on a bike ride, you'll never believe how cool this city is.

I’ll tell you the stories behind three groups of people: the Royals, the Revolutionaries, and of course, the Rebels. The rebels are the remarkable people making history behind the scenes, the lesser-known lives that changed the world and made Paris what it is today. By the end of the tour, you'll understand that the secrets are not always hidden and the highlights are not always obvious. I will show you why you dream of Paris—and it's going to be a blast.

Rebel Paris Tours are beautifully designed to highlight major monuments through inspired storytelling. These are the stories of media, technology, and power, the central story axis behind every king, and the keys to every iconic monument in the city. 

These are not just the stories of the church and the monarchy. These are the stories of underground booksellers and madman urban planners, the cooks who created the cafes, and the artists who called them home, Roman ruins and medieval monasteries, society, revolution, science and art. These are the stories of rebelliousness that bring Parisian culture to life. You’ll walk away with a surprising perspective on Paris, gorgeous photos and a lot of fun stories to tell your friends back home.
