Description

Arrange your perfect day in Paris, designed entirely around you. Treat yourself and your travel party to a special experience focused on what you want to see and do. Move at your own pace, with a private guide by your side throughout the day. Your guide meets you at your hotel and accompanies you as you explore Paris your way. You can include major landmarks such as Notre Dame Cathedral or the Eiffel Tower, or lesser-known neighborhoods, hidden gems, food stops, beautiful viewpoints, and memorable photo stops. Your choice. Your guide is a knowledgeable and personable Parisian who knows the city inside out and shapes the day naturally around your interests. To move around Paris efficiently, like locals do, we use a mix of walking, the metro, and taxis/Uber when needed. After booking, one of our Paris specialists will contact you personally to plan your day in detail, based on what you want to see and do. This private tour is available as a half-day or full-day experience.

Tailor made tour for repeat visitors to Paris

Because we’ve been to Paris and had seen the main sites, this was a day of exploring neighborhoods and some less familiar sites of the city. Olivier was our local guide and pleasant, knowledgeable companion for our walking tour.

Phenomenal day in Paris

Virginie was amazing. She completely customized our tour experience to what we were interested in seeing and even took the time to take us into a couple of lovely local shops and bistros that we would have never found on our own. I would highly recommend this tour and also Virginie as a guide!

Excellent Day in Paris

Perfect day in Paris - Margaux is a fantastic tour guide. She customized our day based on our location and we saw a ton. She was wonderful with my 12-year-old when the heat and walking got a little overwhelming — perfectly timed ice cream stops, lol. My daughter said it was the best day ever and she misses Margaux now that it’s over. This felt less like a formal tour and more like spending a fun day in Paris with a local friend - so great. Book this!

The Perfect Introduction

Dominique took the time to adapt the tour on the go. We saw what we desired and a little more. It was the perfect introduction to Paris.

Fabulous Montmartre tour with Mathieu!

Our guide Mathieu was wonderful! He was very friendly, knowledgeable and well prepared. We scheduled a 1/2 day tour of Montmartre and on the way, explored the area we had not covered on a previous day’s walking tour. Mathieu wove the history of the city, its people, artists, architecture and culture seamlessly throughout our tour. In addition he took several pictures of us that are some of our favorites of our trip. We learned so many details about the area and in such a personal way. We cannot recommend the tour and Mathieu especially, enough!

Our tour guide Virginie...

Our tour guide Virginie was sharp on time waiting for us, and she did an incredible experience. Her flexibility and knowledge of every single corner we were was amazing. She asked first what we wanted to do, and we have an idea. She turned the day into a real amazing experience. We are glad that she was our guide and we will do the tour again with her hands down.

Perfect day in Paris

Perfect way to feel like a local while touring the famous sights. We customized our tour and learned about the history and culture and we also were able to tour quaint neighborhoods.

Such a great way to see as much as possible in a relatively short period of time. Our guide Marx was fun, knowledgeable and very accommodating.

Abbey was very good. Very passionate about her subjects covered and very knowledgeable. Enjoyed the tour even though it was raining a lot. Would recommend her to others for sure.
