# Rude Bastards Tour of Paris

**Guidekin's take:** Royal scandals, executions and revolutionary upheaval shape this Paris history walk, told through dark comedy and politically incorrect stories. A guide accompanies the full walk; moderate fitness is required. 4.94 from 72 reviews at €4 per person for 2h.

## Overview

It's the only Fun and Politically Incorrect walking tour in Paris. Unlike standard walking tours that stick to formal lectures and polite storytelling, our fun walking tour delivers a brutally honest take on Parisian history, packed with dark comedy and plenty of laughs.

Expect royal scandals, political intrigue, executions, revolutionary chaos and the messy stories most guides would rather skip. Our guides are locals and have stories, not scripts, so every tour comes with its own personality, jokes and surprises.

Starting in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, we walk to Notre-Dame, crossing the Seine onto Île de la Cité, the birthplace of Paris. Hear about the French Revolution, royal betrayals, political disasters and the guillotine’s darkest years before finishing around the Louvre.

Over 2 to 3 hours, this Fun Walking Tour mixes history, culture, dark humor and plenty of laughs. Want to see Paris differently? Book your spot now and join us for the stories & memories!
