We are Paris Tours, the first cooperative of tour guides operating in Paris in Spanish. We are proud to introduce ourselves as a group of ten experienced guides (historians, art historians, tourism professionals, teachers, etc.) with more than ten years of experience in the sector, committed to offering unique and enriching experiences to visitors to our beloved city. At our cooperative, we believe that the history and culture of France deserve to be told by passionate experts, and that there are still many aspects of the history of Paris that remain to be explored. To this end, we have created innovative thematic tours that will not only enrich your experience, but will also give you an authentic and exciting view of the city of lights.

LE MARAIS AND THE SECOND WORLD WAR
