Sunrise Walking Tour: Paris Before the Crowds
Description
Oh lala, Paris at dawn! Picture this: you, the golden morning light, and the city's most famous landmarks, all without the usual tourist hordes. Imagine admiring the Eiffel Tower as the city wakes, strolling across the Alexander III Bridge in perfect silence, and having the Louvre's courtyard all to yourself. From the Seine's glittering riverbanks to the elegant gardens of Tuileries, it's Paris as few ever experience it - serene, breathtaking, and actually visible without a forest of selfie sticks in the way. What you'll love most: - Eiffel Tower when you can actually see it (not just other tourists' heads) - Alexander III Bridge when you can stop for photos without causing a traffic jam - Louvre Pyramid without the usual crowd of photographers - Authentic French breakfast with fresh croissants at a charming local café While we can't control the weather (we're good, but not that good), we can promise a morning in Paris like no other.

We are so glad we did this tour! So worth getting up early to miss the crowds and the sunrise was so beautiful, especially with the view of the Eiffel Tower. Our guide, Herbert, was so informative and fun! We learned so much about the history of Paris and so much more. He gave us a list of best coffee shops, cheese shops, restaurants, wine bars and more which was very much appreciated. Herbert also gave us some places to visit after he left us which we enjoyed and it was so helpful with it being our first visit to Paris. The breakfast after the tour was delicious and a wonderful way to end the tour. This tour was the highlight of our trip! Definitely recommend it.
This was one of our favorite tours of Paris, and we went on plenty!! Jeremy was so knowledgeable and took plenty of time with us. It was so peaceful in the city at this time. While tough to wake up, definitely worth it. Jeremy was fantastic! Don’t hesitate to book this!
We had a fantastic tour with Jeremy! Early morning was really the best time to see Paris before the crowds. Jeremy took lots of great pictures for us, was very knowledgeable, friendly and had lots to share about Paris and life in Paris. I would absolutely recommend this tour to someone else.
There are two different tours described: a Sunrise Walking Tour and a Sunrise Biking Tour. After some confusion about this, I took the Walking Tour with Herbert. Herbert was fantastic with his knowledge and conversation. It was absolutely amazing to walk to the iconic sites with practically no one around - and the crowds during the day had been overwhelming. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful, interesting way to see the sites, I highly recommend this walking tour. We had interesting conversations in the coolness of the morning as we walked along the Seine River, through parks and plazas, taking photos and seeing sites unobstructed. At the end we sat in a boulangerie near the Louvre and had breakfast. It's worth being a morning person for one day to experience this tour of Paris!
Herbert was a fantastic guide. The only thing I would recommend would be to shorten the tour by an hour (it was incredibly hot that day but I appreciate he wanted to get everything in for us!) It was a great way to start your first day in Paris! You will love his commentary and knowledge about the city. The picnic ending was just perfect. You can't go wrong here!
One of the best activities we have done our entire trip in Europe. Our experience was less of a tour guide leading us and more of a conversation among friends. It was a great way to see what the city has to offer, different areas to visit, and historical sites of interest! I would recommend pinging different locations on your phone throughout the city so you don’t forget anything you want to revisit later! It was an amazing introduction to the city as well as a great history lesson. In my opinion, this trip is a necessity.
My husband and I have never been to Paris before and were only able to stay for a long layover on our way back to the states. I would highly recommend this experience!!! We were able to go to all of the top landmarks in Paris and ended the day with a beautiful picnic in the park. Herbert was funny, informative and felt like an old friend. 10/10!!!
This is a MUST do in Paris! If you do it on your first day, you will save yourself some money on the cliche tourist attractions and get to see a far better side of them anyway. Some of the best sites are known to the locals and don't cost a thing! The biking is so leisurely and great to experience through Paris. There was surprise after surprise on this tour, all concluding with a wonderful picnic. Come to Paris, do this tour on day 1 and don't plan anything else. They will also help you plan what to do based on where you stay or what you like to do. They really take the time to get to know you and learn what you'd enjoy best.
We took a bike tour with Herbert on our first day in Paris. I have been to Paris before, but it was my partner's first time in the city. Herbert did a great job hitting all the big highlights as well as giving us some interesting history, taking great photos and videos, preparing a nice picnic for us, and giving us tips for the rest of our stay. Highly recommend this tour!
We Did Woyago’s Virtual experience during lockdown and loved it that much, we couldn’t wait to visit in person and Book the real version. It lived up to everything we expected - Anto and Herbert where amazing hosts and showed us loads of the main attractions, mixed with the lesser known and equally cool sites. The food and drink where equally amazing. I highly recommend this tour and this company for the best experiences in Paris
