Tours of Paris in Hebrew are in high demand, and rightly so. A guided tour of Paris is not always cheap, but it can significantly enhance your experience. Just like adding a little truffle will enhance any sauce or dish – a tour with a quality guide adds that special extra to your trip. A skilled guide who knows the streets of Paris well Paris And its diverse culture (history, art, fashion, culinary, etc.) is able to add a dimension of depth to the usual (and charming in itself) wandering in the City of Lights.
With the help of a good guide, you can get to know Paris from the inside and discover its many secrets that ordinary tourists might miss.
The big problem is that anyone can call themselves a tour guide. It’s a profitable field, so there are quite a few “scammers.” My goal is for you to not fall for these types of guides, but to travel only with the best guides out there.

Are there no more Hebrew-speaking tour guides in Paris?
There are certainly other Hebrew-speaking guides, but they do not appear here for two reasons:
- If you happen to know a guide that you really liked and are not here, you are more than welcome to write to me about them and I would love to meet them. I have not had the opportunity to meet them and I do not recommend guides that I have not had the opportunity to test myself.
- These are “scammers.” Unfortunately, anyone can declare themselves a guide, even if they have no unique knowledge of Paris or passion for French culture. Because a guided tour costs quite a bit of money and there is a demand for it from the general public, quite a few scammers have entered in recent years, presenting themselves as tour guides who provide an inferior product (often at an inflated price).
Therefore, if you happen to hear about a guide who is not listed here, you are more than welcome to contact me. If it is someone I do not know, I will be happy to review him/her and if it is a good guide, I will be more than happy to recommend them in the future.
If, on the other hand, it is a “scam”, I can warn you in advance and save you some heartache (it is better for you to take a guided tour in English, if all the good Hebrew-speaking guides are busy, or forgo a guided tour and useMy itineraries, than to fall for a bad guide).

5 tips for guided group tours in Paris
Have you chosen a guided tour? Great!
Before you go to meet with your guide and group, let me provide you with a few tips, based on my personal experience and the experience of other guides, that will help you enjoy the organized tour you have chosen to the fullest:
Be curious.
A great guide (and I only recommend one) is full of information and loves to share it with travelers. So, do some homework (like a basic understanding of Paris history) and come with questions. I guarantee you will leave with a wonderful sense of learning, while your guide will enjoy it too and may even give you a few extras that aren't included in the original tour.
On the other hand, if culture France (in its many varieties) doesn’t interest you, and all you want to do is “check V” for having seen the main attractions, it’s worth forgoing the guided tour and saving quite a bit of money. This advice is doubly true if you’re traveling with children and teenagers. Instead of dragging them on a tour that won’t interest them in the first place, wait a few more years and come to Paris again – and this time without them. They and the guides will thank you.
Come prepared.
Check carefully what is going to happen. Paris weather And come dressed accordingly so that you are not too hot or too cold. Since this is a walking tour, usually a few kilometers long, it is recommended to wear the most comfortable shoes you have. It would be a shame if your trip is ruined by inappropriate clothing or footwear.
A little earlier
Running through the subway tunnels or the streets of Paris while trying to get to the meeting point on time may help you burn off those eclair calories you ate yesterday, but it adds an unnecessary level of stress and discomfort (especially if you're late or running late). Most guides start the tour a few minutes after the scheduled time, so if you're late there's a good chance you'll miss the tour, which is a shame (especially if you paid for the tour in advance and lost your money).
Therefore, I highly recommend arriving at the meeting point 15-30 minutes before the tour time. Worst case, you will have a little coffee, walk around a bit, or enjoy the guide's company a little longer than the others, since he will of course arrive early and before the scheduled time.
Consider the group members.
Keep in mind that tours in large groups (between 8-15 people or more) are cheaper, but the degree of flexibility there tends to be zero, so you must go exactly at the pace of the group and maintain eye contact with the guide so as not to lose him (you usually pay for these tours at the beginning of the trip, so if you lose the group because you entered the store while the group continued on its way, the guide will not try to look for you).
On boutique tours, where you travel in small groups (usually up to 7 people), the pace will be more relaxed and the itinerary will be more flexible. In such a case, in order to avoid turning the trip into a world war, I highly recommend that you be considerate of those traveling with you, even if they need the bathroom exactly 5 minutes after you all left a cafe, or want to stop for a few minutes to peek at some interesting patisserie. If you do this, you are guaranteed to be considered when you ask to sit down for a small coffee or peek at a charming boutique in the Marais.
And most importantly: in my experience, a big part of the fun of tours is the company you hang out with, and it has often happened that complete strangers have connected on my tours and become good friends in the end (some even continued the relationship when they returned to Israel). Hence, maintaining politeness and consideration will only increase the chances of you making new friends, which is already a serious bonus.
Bring lots of good mood (the most important tip)
Remember, the main goal of the trip is not to get a V-mark, or to leave with some kind of certificate (there is no test at the end). The only goal of the trip is to have fun. Therefore, come with joy and savor every romantic square, sweet pastry, and spicy story to the fullest. At the same time, elegantly ignore all the little things that can happen on any trip (for example: rain that starts to fall heavily in the middle of the trip, a small shop whose owner decided to go on vacation just as you were passing by, and more).
I promise you that if you do this, your enjoyment will be complete, as will the value for the amount you paid, and that's exactly why you came to this page, right?
