Questions & answers
Everything practical, answered
If your question isn't here, send it to me directly, or ask on WhatsApp.
How many people can join a tour?
All tours are private, with a maximum of 6 people. You are never merged with strangers. For larger family events, contact me and we will look at what is possible.
What languages are tours in?
Tours are led in English, French and Hebrew, by me, directly. Other languages on request.
How long does a tour last?
Walking tours last 2.5 to 3 hours. Custom tours can be a half-day or a full day, built around your pace.
How much does a tour cost?
Prices are displayed on each tour page, per person, for a private group of up to 6. Museum tickets are not included unless stated. There are no hidden fees.
Can you guide on a Saturday?
Yes, under conditions that respect Shabbat: full prepayment before Friday, and routes organized around professional museum access. See the Shabbat & Kosher page for how this works in practice.
Are tours suitable for children?
Very much. Each child receives my Young Explorer activity kit: a printed booklet with crayons, in two age versions (6–9 and 10–13). The kids stay engaged; the adults get to listen.
What about limited mobility?
Walking tours cover 2–3 km at a gentle pace with regular stops. Routes can be adapted. Tell me when booking and I will plan accordingly.
What happens if it rains?
Tours run rain or shine. Paris is beautiful in the rain, and routes can shift toward covered passages and museums. In case of severe weather we reschedule together at no cost.
Can I visit the Louvre or MAHJ without queuing?
Yes. My carte professionnelle de guide-conférencier allows me to bring groups in through the professional entrance of national museums, with no security queue.
What is your cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 7 days before the tour. Between 7 days and 48 hours, 50%. Under 48 hours, the tour is due in full. Weather-related rescheduling is always free.
What if Orlie isn't available on my dates?
Send me your dates. If I can't guide you myself, I'll tell you honestly and point you in the right direction.
Where do tours start?
At a meeting point confirmed with your booking, usually a métro exit or a landmark near the first stop. Exact details arrive with your confirmation.
