Keep it personal
Smaller groups create room for questions, conversation and a guide who can pay attention to the people in front of them.
ABOUT SIMPLY FRANCE TOURS
Paris is better when it feels personal
We create small-group and private walking and bike tours that connect the history of Paris with its neighbourhoods, everyday life and the people exploring it.
Discover our approachOUR POINT OF VIEW
A tour should never feel like a checklist. It should change the way you see the city.
OUR STORY
Born from a desire to share a more human Paris
Simply France Tours was created around a simple conviction: the best way to understand Paris is to move through it at street level, with time to look, listen and ask questions.
Our routes connect celebrated landmarks with quieter streets, local neighbourhoods and the details that make the city feel alive. We explore on foot when a place deserves close attention and by bike when the journey between neighbourhoods becomes part of the story.
The result is not a lecture and not a race from one photo stop to another. It is an informed, relaxed conversation with Paris as the setting.
WHAT MATTERS TO US
The principles behind every tour
Choose meaningful routes
Each itinerary has a point of view and connects places through a story rather than a list of compulsory stops.
Make history accessible
We explain the past clearly, without losing the anecdotes, contradictions and human details that make it memorable.
Share the city we know
Paris is not a museum. We also talk about neighbourhood life, food, culture and the addresses we recommend to friends.
LOCAL GUIDES, REAL CONVERSATIONS
The guide makes the difference
Knowledge matters, but so do curiosity, warmth and the ability to read a group. Our guides are chosen for the way they bring stories to life and make visitors feel comfortable asking questions.
They welcome travellers from different countries, ages and backgrounds, adapting the level of detail and pace while preserving the character of the tour. Whether you join a public departure or book privately, the experience remains a conversation rather than a memorised speech.

A LOCAL TOUR COMPANY IN PARIS
Why choose Simply France Tours?
Choosing a Paris tour company is not only about deciding which monuments to see. The route, group size and personality of the guide determine whether the city feels distant or suddenly makes sense.
Simply France Tours specialises in guided walking and bike tours in Paris for individual travellers, families, schools, universities, companies and travel professionals. Our public tours favour manageable groups, while private and organised visits can be adapted within the practical possibilities of each route.
We believe visitors should leave with more than photographs: a clearer understanding of Paris, stories they will remember and places they want to return to on their own.
