Tour Options
Itinerary
Walk through a local market, grab a pastry at the local bakery and stop at a café to grasp the essence of the french lifestyle and gastronomy.
This garden is a stunning example of a French garden from the 1600's and a place you will want to relax in and never leave.
Walking through the Latin Quarter is a must. This student district welcomes one of the oldest universities in the world and the oldest in France, as well as a gem located on the top of the hill Saint-Genevieve, The Pantheon.
We cannot pass in this area without checking out the iconic Shakespeare & Company bookstore. Plus there is a Wallace fountain right in front of it, which you'll see everywhere in Paris.
We'll share with you the history of this iconic church and how the fire that happened in 2019 has impacted it. The front of the church is intact, so we'll be able to admire the gorgeous details.
Home to the old medieval palace of French kings, this island also hides a unique flower market and the oldest bridge in the city, which is still standing today.
You can't come to Paris and miss the Louvre pyramid, but you already know that. So after a few photos we go explore the beautiful statues of the gardens across the museum.
Around this garden you can see different points of view like the Place de la Concorde, Arc de Triomphe, Place Vendôme, Musée d'Orsay and the Eiffel Tower.
Finally, we book you a lunch reservation at our recommended french restaurant, where you'll enjoy our favorite local dishes.

It's a great tour because you know the Paris of Parisians. You leave the conventional Tours to enter true Parisian life. I suggest more cultural and history information.
Our guide Ruben was knowledgeable, fun, super flexible, and very informative, a genuine person that you can not just learn from him but also enjoy an honest conversation of any topic, art, history, politics, football, etc.
We had a fantastic tour with Lou! She was so knowledgeable about Paris history and landmarks and she made it so fun and interesting. I highly recommend!!
John was a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable and easy to be with for a long period of time. Would definitely recommend!
Our tour guide, Benoit, was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and friendly and provided a great off the beaten path view of Montemarte and beyond.
We booked a half day walking tour of Ile de la cite and met our guide, Lou. A native Parisian with perfect English and a wealth of information. We were lucky to be able to schedule her again for another half day of our choosing. Montmartre, Sacre Coeur, and Le Marais. Three generations, perfect pace, fun information, Lou and her team pulled this off on very short notice. Very impressive!
Benoit was our tour guide and he was absolutely fabulous. We have three VERY busy boys (13, 11, 9). He was able to keep them all engaged, excited and eager to ask questions and learn more. It was catered to our needs and when he felt we were tiring, we stopped for a delicious treat and a break from standing. He “read the room,” if you will, and knew exactly what to do at what times. We will recommend him and this company to friends and family and hope to visit Paris soon!!
This was incredible!! Monty took us on the best tour we have ever done! We saw much of the famous architecture and history of Paris, plus a fantastic time in the Louvre. Monty could not have done better and was a perfect guide. I highly recommend the tour and Monty.
We have visited Paris several times over the last few years and each time Walid does not disappoint. He & his staff are very friendly & knowledgeable about the city and very easy to work with when making an itinerary. Thank you Walid for another perfect Paris visit! Merci!
We had such a fantastic time with our guide, Lou. She was so personable and knowledgeable that the time flew by. We really got to see Paris from a local’s perspective. Highly recommend visiting Montmartre on this tour as well! The stairs were worth it.
