The advantage of walking tours in their relative accessibility and the possibility without special problems to join a group that will follow the most interesting route. Walking tour is easy to modify, including additional entertainment in it or changing the original route to a less traditional one. Extremely fascinating can be a four hour excursion to the parks of Paris or three-hour excursions to Montmartre and the ancient aristocratic district of Mare.
