There might be a lot of Revolutionary tours in Paris, but there is only one Revolutions tour.
Meet your guide and set off on a journey through Paris, a city deeply intertwined with revolutions. Discover how the city of lights has been a catalyst for change, from the American Revolution to the Russian Revolution, and the many revolutions that France and Paris itself have witnessed.
Explore the Revolutions of 1789, 1792, 1830, 1848, and 1871, as well as revolutions linked to the city, such as the American Revolution, Latin American Revolutions, Russian Revolution, Spring of Nations of 1848, and Haitian Revolution.
Visit key locations like Place de la Révolution, Convention Nationale, Palais Égalité, City Hall, Tribunal Révolutionnaire, and a secret location: the headquarters of Enlightenment. At each stop, delve into core topics like “What is Liberalism?”, “What is Socialism?”, “How do Governments collapse?”, and “What is Revolutionary Tyranny?” all while enjoying some revolutionary songs on the way!
Hear the events that happened in each place in a chronological way and then summarize what you learned around the particular topic we covered linking all the events together in a coherent story. In the end, all the events we covered will come together to create a complete understanding of all those Revolutions.
After the tour, receive a cheat sheet that relates the places we covered and the events we talked about in the order you covered them, along with a complete chronology of all the Revolutions that we cover on the tour.
!Please Note! There is a short metro trip that has to be taken on the tour ! Prepare accordingly.
!Please Note! It is recommended to book in advance as I may be called to work for other tour companies and if there are no bookings I will have to close certain slots to work on other missions. Slots are guaranteed only if there are bookings and therefore it is best to book ahead !
! Recommendation: It is recommended to do this tour before visiting the Conciergerie and the Carnavalet museum !
Private Tour
The Révolution(s) Private Tour is one of our proudest achievements as it covers all aspects of all Revolutions that happened in Paris and those that are connected with Paris giving way more content per location than the regular tour experience. The Private Tour can last up to 4h / or a pastry-macaron shop for a pause and a chat (the cost on location is not covered by Ode to Paris).
