About
Paris Tours With Kids specializes in guided experiences of Paris built from the ground up for families rather than adapted from standard adult tours. The company offers walking tours, bike tours, and Seine river cruises with guides trained to keep children engaged through storytelling, riddles, and interactive questions that make history feel immediate rather than distant. Tours are calibrated by age group — a tour for families with 5-to-8-year-olds moves differently, covers different ground, and uses different language than one designed for tweens.
The Louvre family tour, for example, focuses on ten key objects with compelling back-stories rather than attempting to cover the museum comprehensively, which is the single most effective approach to visiting the Louvre with children. The Montmartre tour includes street art, a visit to the Sacré-Cœur, and hidden staircases that transform a neighborhood walk into an exploration. Bike tours give older children and teens a sense of freedom and momentum that walking tours can lack.
All tours are available in English and group sizes are kept small to maintain the personal feel. Private options allow complete customization of routes and duration. For families arriving in Paris with a week and no plan, a two-hour family walking tour on the first morning is one of the highest-value ways to orient everyone — children and adults alike — before exploring independently.

Why Kids Love It
Tours designed specifically for families with storytelling, interactive questions, and routes that balance iconic sights with child-appropriate pacing
Pro Tips from Parents
- Book a family tour for your first morning in Paris — it sets the context for everything you see independently afterward
- Ask for the private option if you have children under 7 — group pacing may not suit very young kids
- The focused Louvre tour (10 objects, 90 minutes) is far more effective than attempting the museum on your own with children
What to Bring
- Comfortable walking shoes — most tours cover 2–4 miles
- Water bottles for each person
- A light snack for young children who may need energy top-ups mid-tour
