F.A.Q.

I want to purchase rare designer pieces. Can your guide help me?

Our guides will be delighted to give you tips and addresses but this walking tour focuses more on the history of Paris’ fashion through the ages than on pure shopping. If you’re looking for a Personal Shopping Experience, we conveniently provide a Private Shopping Experience.

What if my friends and/or family aren’t quite as nutty about fashion as I am?

Not a problem, our guides are happy to adjust the tour to all levels of interest to keep it fun and accessible for your entire group. We’re also taking you through a breath-taking part of Paris that will be sure to capture everyone’s attention.

How long does the tour last?

This experience will last two hours.
