Good france bar crawls fill up on the nights you want them, and the best go first. Below: the 14 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Join Beer&Dash in Nice from 10:10 PM for a five-hour, high-energy crawl through five bars and clubs. Hosts such as Maxime, Rudy, and Max lead drinking games, group challenges, and icebreakers before free VIP entry to a nightclub. Expect an international crowd, fast-track access, and drinks beyond the included shots.
“Maxime was great! I had so much fun celebrating my birthday 💖”
Meet your red-shirted guides at Hostel Villa Saint Exupery Beach, play Beer Pong, then walk through Old Town Nice for four bars and a nightclub. Your $20 ticket includes five complimentary shots, drink discounts, guided entry, and fast-track club access. Guides such as Hugo, Hari, Emilia, and Farrah have led past outings, though the team varies.
“The tour was really great and engaging. Hari and Emmanuel made sure to show us the best spots in Nice”
Meet your guide at RoadHouse Bar for a four-hour night through Paris’s Latin Quarter. You’ll visit three bars, play ice-breaker games, claim a free shot with qualifying purchases, and finish at a nightclub with skip-the-line entry. Guides such as Emma, Archie, and Jack are known for keeping solo visitors and groups involved.
“Had a really good night. The group were good and met lots of people from all different places. Jack was our guide and he was a lot of fun!”

Visit three or four bars and clubs, pass Notre Dame and the Seine, stop for a Pantheon photo, and get one free shot with a purchased drink at each venue. Guides may include Archi, Emma, Sharon, Melanie, or Omar.
“The tour was great. Went on a Thursday with a small group of 14 but I liked it better that way. My only complaint is that they didn’t advise us of the change in the meeting place. Luckily, there was a number to call.”
Spend about six hours moving through Old Nice with Beer&Dash guides in bright yellow shirts. The evening includes AKATHOR, Paddy’s Bar, Les St Riquier, Town Club, and a late stop at 305 Vice Club, with five included shots, drink discounts, games, fast-track entry, and an international crowd. Isabella and Kev are among the guides praised for their energy.
“All the bars were unique and fun. Energetic with more people than I expected. Our guide for the night was nice and accommodating to everyone that was arriving”
Start at 9 p.m. near Place Massena, then follow a local guide through Nice’s Old Town for drinks, games, four complimentary shots, and nightclub entry. Guides such as Arthur, Emilia, Laura, Louise, and Ahmah have helped make the evening social and welcoming, but group sizes can vary sharply.
“It was nice because we were around 30 people but be carefull it can be overbooked and then its not fun at all...”
Meet Omar, Amine, or another English-speaking guide at Mcbrides Pub in central Paris, then visit three to four bars before finishing at a nightclub. You get a free shot after buying your first drink at each bar, happy-hour offers, and skip-the-line club entry. It is a lively choice for solo visitors and social groups.
“It was a nice experience! If you are a solo travel in Paris, it would be such a nice opportunity to meet people and have a good time. All the bars were very cool and the club was also nice. I had a great time 🤗”
Spend 210 minutes aboard the historic sailing yacht Le Don du Vent, leaving from Pier 2 near Marseille City Hall. You will sail toward the Frioul Islands, anchor for swimming and snorkeling, then eat a fresh buffet with organic white wine and rosé. Crew members including Oliver and Samir may help make the evening feel warm and relaxed.
“Beautiful boat, friendly crew, plenty of food and drink. Overall well and truly exceeded expectations”
Join English-speaking guides such as Rory, Sean, Felix, and Viktor for a five-hour night through Nice’s Old Town. You’ll visit three bars and a nightclub with free-poured shots, €5 drink deals, skip-the-line entry, and a wristband for discounts. It suits adults who want an easy, social night out rather than a quiet drink.
“Cool bar crawl! Visited hidden gems of nice with a big group of people. Great discounts on drinks and bunch of free shots !”
Meet your English-speaking host outside Filles du Calvaires Metro, then visit two secret Paris bars, with a possible third stop depending on the group and route.

“This tour was the highlight of my trip! Nel was a gracious guide that made everyone feel welcome. I would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone :)”
Meet your English-speaking guide at Place de la République, then walk to three secret Paris bars in a small group of up to seven. Guides including Marc, Natalia, Felix, and Dadhet help you find unusual entrances, choose drinks, and meet fellow visitors. The $34 fee covers entry and reservations, while drinks and food cost extra.
“Marc was an absolutely superb guide. It was a small group of 4 and Marc. He took us to 3 speakeasy bars. Loved all 3 bars and the drinks were amazing. He was so warm and entertaining. Loved our conversations. I highly recommend this tour with Marc.”
Meet at Restaurant Prost near Place de la Bastille and ask for the speakeasy bar. In French or English, you’ll make three cocktails using shaking, stirring, and building techniques, then enjoy a charcuterie and cheese board. Tanguy and Simon are among the friendly staff named in guest feedback.
“Bon moment partagé en couple. C’est plus une dégustation de cocktail qu’un cours de cocktail. On nous fait faire les cocktails avec les checker et 3 recettes différentes donc 3 cocktails chacun avec une planche de charcuterie et de fromage. Moment qui dure plus de 2h car c’est en groupe. Donc le seul point négatif c’est le fait d’être presser car il y a des groupes après donc à revoir Sinon bonne expérience.”
Join the crew aboard Eleanor Mary for a small-group evening cruise from Marseille’s Old Port to the Frioul Islands. Expect a prosecco welcome, a fresh vegetarian buffet, organic white and rosé wine, swimming, snorkeling, and paddleboarding in a sheltered cove before returning beneath the lights of Notre-Dame de la Garde.
“The trip was amazing, fabulous wine and food, sunset was unbelievable. A fantastic way to see Marseille from a different angle. We sat on bean bags which we enjoyed but maybe difficult for others.”
Meet guide John or another English or French-speaking host beside the République statue, then walk to three Paris speakeasies for stories, atmosphere, and a cocktail workshop. The small group is limited to six people, with Spanish available on request. Drinks and meals are not listed as included.
“Amazone spots and hidden gems you will never find on your own, highly recommend”
Pick a kind of night, or a bar that floats.
