About this tour
Duck into Paris's clandestine cocktail bars with a local guide who knows where the real drinkers go. This two-hour romp through the République district stops at two carefully chosen speakeasies, the kind tucked behind unmarked doors and discovered through word-of-mouth. Your English-speaking ambassador unpicks the history of each hideaway and the craft behind what's being mixed, whilst you swap stories with fellow travellers in rooms where parisiens actually spend their evenings.

What to expect
Your guide meets you and leads the group—usually a mix of solo travellers and small groups—through neighbourhood streets to the first speakeasy. You'll push through a nondescript door, order a drink (at your own cost), and soak in the atmosphere whilst learning what makes the bar tick. After an hour, you'll head to the second location, equally secretive but with its own personality. Expect dim lighting, crowded bars, and genuine Parisian clientele. Conversation flows naturally between strangers.
Good to know
Bring cash for drinks; most speakeasies don't take cards. Wear comfortable shoes for walking between venues. Tour departs from the République district; metro access is straightforward. Groups are kept intentionally small to preserve the intimate feel.
