Following Emily’s Footsteps: Explore Paris and Rome on these fan-favourite tours

Season 5 of Emily in Paris is about to launch on Netflix on December 18, and we're here for it.

A quick catch-up, if you’re not already a fan: Emily in Paris follows a young American navigating a new career and an unfamiliar culture in Europe - a premise that has evolved into a vivid, city-shaping journey across France and now Italy. The series has always offered more than romantic plotlines and couture; it has turned Paris, and now Rome, into living characters, full of texture, contradictions, and irresistible intrigue. As Emily’s world expands, so does the desire among fans to step into the narrative themselves, with their own journeys.

The upcoming season of Emily in Paris invites us into a new chapter, one that deepens Emily’s relationship with Paris while pulling her into the energy and elegance of Rome. For viewers, it’s the perfect moment to turn inspiration into a journey and see two iconic cities through a fresh, story-rich lens.

Explore Paris: The City That Started It All

Paris remains the heartbeat of the series—its cafés, courtyards, and riverbank moments shaping Emily’s evolution as much as any character on screen. Two thoughtfully designed ToursByLocals experiences offer a closer look at the places where the show’s Parisian magic unfolds.

1. Emily in Paris Half-Day Exclusive Tour

This half-day wander offers a focused, elegant sweep through some of the series’ most memorable sites. Travellers explore neighbourhoods where Emily forged friendships, tackled career hurdles, and learned to navigate Paris with a mix of ambition and charm. It’s an invitation to look beyond the postcard-perfect façades and discover the nuances that make these districts so compelling. Plus, it comes along with a professional photographer as your guide, to capture those picture-perfect Emily moments.

2. All-Seasons Highlights: Netflix’s Emily in Paris Tour

For fans who want to trace the arc of Emily’s Paris years all at once, this comprehensive tour connects filming locations across multiple seasons. Expect a curated storyline—woven from fashion moments, career pivots, and romantic escapades—that brings depth to spots that viewers may recognize instantly. Guides share details from production, cultural insights, and thoughtful commentary that turns each location into a point of connection.

Rome: Emily’s New Chapter Takes Centre Stage

If Paris gave Emily her spark, Rome tests her imagination. The series’ newest episodes immerse her in Roman rhythm—its art, its appetite, its layered history—and local Rome guide Caron has shaped three distinct experiences to help travellers follow that journey with purpose and delight.

1. Stepping Into Emily’s Shoes, Roman Style

This tour mirrors Emily’s leap into a vibrant and occasionally chaotic Rome. Travellers wander through piazzas, film locations, and neighbourhoods where the pace slows just enough for stories to land. It’s a chance to explore Rome through a lighter, contemporary frame while still feeling the city’s deep artistic pulse.

2. Emily in Paris Spa Day in Rome

Part pampering escape, part cinephile exploration, this experience pairs iconic filming locations with moments of wellness and indulgence. It captures the tone of Emily’s Roman interlude, where unexpected challenges often unfold between glamorous appointments and sun-drenched viewpoints.

3. Emily in Rome Walking Tour with Lunch at Trattoria Angelino

Nothing anchors a story like a shared meal. This walk leads travellers from key filming locations to a long, leisurely lunch at Trattoria Angelino, where Emily also enjoyed a meal, echoing the convivial rhythm that defines so many scenes from the new season. It’s a thoughtful blend of setting, flavour, and conversation.

And Soon… Emily in Venice

We’ve heard rumours that Season 5 will whisk Emily through the canals of Venice, and guides are already preparing a dedicated experience that follows her journey there. As filming details unfold, we’ll unveil a new tour that brings her Venetian moments to life—glimpses of old-world grandeur, unexpected misadventures, and the serenity of a city built on water.

Take a journey shaped by Emily's story...and your own

What makes these experiences resonate is not just their connection to a fun and beloved series. It’s the way they turn filming locations into touch points for culture, history, and lived experience. Each tour offers insights that deepen understanding—not just of Emily’s world, but of the cities themselves, and your guide's life within them.

Whether you’re planning your next journey or simply imagining one, these tours invite you to see Paris and Rome with new eyes—through the narrative of a show you love, and through the perspective of local guides who know how to bring each place to life.
