Such a wonderful tour by Ben! We learned a lot about the city and got to hear very interesting stories about Paris. We have done a lot of Walking Tours but this one is among the Top 3! If you plan to do one in Paris, I recommend you to choose this walking tour!
This was such an insightful, well-researched and entertaining tour! Ben was an excellent guide and it was a delightful experience that brought the history of the city to life through literature. 10/10!
We loved our tour with Max, he is fun and easygoing and realy knew all the information to make the tour interesting! Thanks Max!
Ben's tour was great, packed with interesting information about books and their authors who lived in or visited Paris or wrote about the events happening in the city. I especially enjoyed the inclusion of feminist authors and themes, as well as some surprising facts about Academie Française. In the middle of the tour Ben offered each of us a pastry that illustrated a concept from a famous French novel (no spoilers), which I found amusing. All in all, it was an enriching tour. Now I know a bunch of fun facts that I will definitely use to pester my friends.
A Tour Worthy of the Pages of a Novel Walking through Paris with oncle Ben felt like stepping into the pages of a beautifully written story—one where the city’s literary past whispers from every cobblestone and café. With his wit, depth of knowledge, and impeccable storytelling, oncle Ben masterfully guided us through the streets, weaving together tales of writers, poets, and philosophers who once called Paris home. His humor made the experience delightfully engaging, his insights added layers of meaning to familiar sights, and his attentiveness ensured that every traveler felt like a cherished character in this unfolding narrative. From the Left Bank’s literary salons to hidden gems tucked away from the usual tourist paths, each stop was a revelation. If you love literature, history, or simply wish to see Paris through a new and poetic lens, this tour is a must. Ben doesn’t just give a tour—he crafts an experience that lingers, much like the closing lines of a great novel. Highly recommended!
This tour was spectacular! I really enjoyed it! I would recommend this to anyone visiting Paris. The guide was filled with energy and info.
Ben is an amazing storyteller who made the History and literary side of Paris come alive in such a fun and engaging way. You don’t need to be a book lover to enjoy it, just someone who appreciates a good story. Such a great way to see this gorgeous city from a different perspective. Obrigada, Ben!
Ben is definitely the best in town
Super
Ben was awesome! A+ for creativity. Former attorney turned guide/entertainer extraordinaire! You won't be disappointed. Highly recommend.
Ben's tour was a wholesome experience and touched all our senses. A very good mix of history, geography, culture and politics, it took us through the heart of the city and helped understand it's background and context for all the monuments.
Thomas was an excellent tour guide. He was funny, engaging and very knowledgable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Paris!

Great tour, one of the best freewalkingtours I've been on!
The walk’s are nice and once you stop where they talk about a location there is often a lot of information but when you walk between stops there is no discussion of things you are walking by unless you are lucky enough to be walking with the tour guide to ask a question but no one else will hear the answer
Realmente uno de los mejores walking tour que he tomado ( y he tomado bastantes ) genial Ben!
Ben's a personable and knowledgeable guide. He tries his best to engage everyone and is very enthusiastic about giving good information. Highly recommend the tour!
