Rude B’s Tour Paris – Free Walking Tour with a Twist
Funny, Honest and Unforgettable. The free walking tour Paris visitors actually talk about.
Experience Paris beyond the postcards. The Rude Bastard’s Free Walking Tour Paris takes
you through the city’s most iconic locations but with stories that most guides would never
dare to tell.
Forget polished history and polite storytelling. This is not just another free walking tour in Paris. It is one of a kind, funny, bold and surprisingly eye-opening Paris walking tour where we dive into royal scandals, revolutions, public executions and the chaos that truly shaped one of the greatest cities in the world. Expect sarcasm, unexpected facts and guide who will not sugar-coat a single thing.
A Free Walking Tour in Paris… But Not Like the Others
There are plenty of free walking tours in Paris, but most follow the same route and tell the same boring stories. The Rude Bastard’s Tour by CYHITours is different and here is why.
We focus on what actually makes Paris interesting. The messy, chaotic and the ridiculous
parts of its history. The betrayals, the executions, the political drama and the moments where everything completely went off the rails. This is the Paris that guide books quietly skip over.
If you are searching for a free walking tour Paris locals would recommend or want a Paris
tour that makes you laugh out loud, you are at the right place.
What you will See on This Free Walking Tour Paris
Our free walking tour Paris route covers some of the most historically rich and visually stunning parts of the city. Here is what to expect.
We start in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, one of the oldest and most story-rich neighborhoods in Paris. From there we make our way toward Notre-Dame Cathedral, uncovering the strange,
dramatic and often ridiculous events that unfolded in its shadow over centuries.
Along the way you will hear stories about royal scandals and famous bad decisions, the chaos and bloodshed of the French Revolution, public executions and the guillotine, political assassinations and power struggles, and all the bizarre moments from Parisian history.
We then cross the Seine onto Île de la Cité, the historic heart of Paris where some of the city’s most dramatic moments unfolded and finish at the iconic Pont Neuf bridge. From there your guide will point you toward the Louvre Museum and the Eiffel Tower so you can carry on your Paris sightseeing at your own pace.
