These are all wonderful family guides and experiences that I can vouch for as offering high quality tours and being great with kids. If you book, tell them Zoe recommended you, and they'll know what kind of tour guide or experience you want.  Have a great trip to Paris!

​

***I did just launch self-guided tours of Montmartre and Central Paris for families - They are basically my tours!

​

Museum tours :

- Josephine and Ferit have a small family-run business, Paris and Beyond Tours.  They offer family-friendly tours all over Paris, including museums and Versailles. We tried the Louvre scavenger hunt, and the Notre Dame tour + Stone Carving workshop and we all thoroughly loved both. 

- Sophie of Le Paris de Sophie  offers energetic and fun tours in the Louvre and Orsay - I think she is a great option for adult or teen groups.​

- Alexandra of Family Focus tours does wonderful musuem tours too - we tested the Opera house tour and it was fascinating. Perfect smaller museum visit, or great for aspiring dancers!

​

Food tour: Aly of Paris For Kids offers amazing family food and history tours and kids' art workshops in English - we tried both and really enjoyed them! Use the code PETIT15 for 15% off!​

​

Cooking Class:  Try the 'duo' - parent / child cooking classes at Cook n with Class!  We did the 'patisserie en famille' one and loved it.  2.5 hours, around 200 euros depending on the class

​​

Private River Cruises 

- If you are looking for a private Seine river cruise, we love the family-run My Paris River company! Their boats hold up to 12 people, and are very comfy and kid-friendly.

- If you would like a fancier boat for a special occasion, then try JP's boats - the champagne cruise was sooo special!

​​

Car Tours -  This is a great option to cover a lot of ground during a quick Paris trip, or for summer when it is hot out, or for arrival days to get a great overview of the city.

- TukTuk Ride: This tuktuk ride thorugh Paris was wonderful. The Tuktuk can be closed for winter, we tested in Feb and had a great time all snuggled up in the back seat. Raphael was great with the kids. 

- Paris Green Ride offers fun and laidback tours in the most adorable open air cars!  They can close them for winter.  Felix was also great with the kids!
