Walking Tour in the Old Town of Menton France

Explore Menton's layered history across three and a half hours, moving from the elegant town centre through the old quarter's maze of baroque passages and up to the hilltop cemetery overlooking the Mediterranean. You'll weave past ornate architecture spanning centuries, climb narrow stairways between pastel buildings, and pause at elevated vantage points where memorial stones mark World Wars and African service. A botanical garden visit showcases the region's celebrated citrus heritage. Meet local artisans in their workshops and encounter the sensory textures—scents, colours, stone textures—that define this Côte d'Azur corner.

Latin Quarter & Notre-Dame: 2,000 Years of History in small group

When Charlie from our team ran this 3-hour walk through the Latin Quarter, we got the real Paris—not the postcard version. Your guide studied at the Sorbonne himself, so the stories behind Notre-Dame, the Panthéon, and those narrow streets hit different when someone who lived them is telling them. You'll wind through the neighbourhood where writers, revolutionaries, and students have actually changed things, ducking into cafés Sartre haunted and past Marie Curie's old haunts. It's small-group stuff (max 10 people), which means you're not herding with fifty others and your guide actually remembers your name by the end.

Full Coverage Paris Private City Tour

Spend 4.5 hours walking Paris with a passionate local who knows the city inside out. You'll tick off the iconic landmarks, but the real value comes from their insider knowledge—the family-run bistros, emerging neighbourhoods, and stories behind the facades that guidebooks miss. A small-group approach means you're never part of the tourist crush, and the guide earns fairly for their time.

Paris Gourmet Food Tour

When Ben from our team ran this tour, we wound through Paris's best neighbourhood food shops with Richard Nahem, a former New York chef who clearly knows his way around a market. Over 2.5 hours, we hit an award-winning fromagerie stacked with 50+ cheeses, a honey specialist, a crammed Middle Eastern deli bursting with pickled veg and spices, plus artisanal chocolate and a boulangerie that's won prizes for their baguettes. It's a working-day walk through real Parisian food culture—busy, flavourful, and nowhere near as touristy as you'd expect.

Petanque (boules) lesson in Provence

You'll move through dramatic rock formations whilst exploring how ancient peoples inhabited this massif, trace climatic shifts that shaped the terrain, spot local flora, and listen for native birds with your guide's commentary and occasional calls. The tour winds through cultivated gardens, including a truffle plantation, before heading to lesser-visited reaches of the site.

Viality Tour: Virtual Reality Guided Tour - Eiffel Tower

When Tom from our team tried this VR-guided tour on the Champ-de-Mars, we found a genuinely clever way to see the Eiffel Tower's story. You walk the actual grounds where Gustave Eiffel's iron lattice went up in 1887, then pause at marked spots to strap on a headset and step into the 1889 World's Fair in full 360° detail. The whole thing runs 1 hour 15 minutes with a max group of 10 — small enough that the guide (who co-founded the tour) can actually chat rather than shout. The VR environments are built from archives, not guesses, which shows.
