About this tour
Explore Paris through a self-guided scavenger hunt that turns a city walk into a playful trail of puzzles, stories, and local discoveries. With the World City Trail app guiding the way, you can set your own pace, take a break for a croissant, and pick up where you left off whenever you’re ready.
This Paris scavenger hunt and self-guided walking tour leads past more than 10 major sights and hidden gems, including the Eiffel Tower, Pont Alexandre III, Petit Palais, Place de la Concorde, the Louvre, Tuileries Gardens, Pont Neuf, the Conciergerie, and Notre Dame. Solve puzzles connected to outdoor areas, learn about the history and legends of each stop, and use optional text-to-speech narration if you’d rather listen than read. The app also shares recommendations for local restaurants and shops.
There’s no guide or fixed start time, and attraction entry isn’t required. Bring a charged smartphone and mobile data, then follow the app’s instructions to begin. Make this Paris scavenger hunt and self-guided walking tour your own, with time to explore, pause, and enjoy the city along the way.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.00 from 9 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Paris
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.6.
