Itinerary
Le Louvre is the world's largest art museum and a historic monument in Paris, France. A central landmark of the city, it is located on the Right Bank of the Seine
It is the starting point of the rue de la Paix. Its regular architecture and pedimented screens canted across the corners give the rectangular place Vendôme the aspect of an octagon. The original Vendôme Column at the centre of the square was erected by Napoleon I to commemorate the Battle of Austerlitz. Stopping for pictures
The Palais-Royal, originally called the Palais-Cardinal, is a former royal palace located in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. The screened entrance court faces the Place du Palais-Royal, opposite the Louvre. In 1830 the larger inner courtyard of the palace, the Cour d'Honneur, was enclosed to the north by what was probably the most famous of Paris's covered arcades, the Galerie d'Orléans. Demolished in the 1930s, its flanking rows of columns still stand between the Cour d'Honneur and the popular Palais-Royal Gardens.
The Galerie Vivienne is one of the covered passages of Paris. Located between the Palais-Royal, the Paris Bourse (stock exchange) and the Grands Boulevards, the passage enjoyed considerable success until the end of the Second Empire.
Live an incredible experience and stop in front of the famous Palais Garnier which is a 1,979-seat opera house, which was built from 1861 to 1875 for the Paris Opera. It was called the Salle des Capucines, because of its location on the Boulevard des Capucines, but soon became known as the Palais Garnier, in recognition of its opulence and its architect, Charles Garnier. Stop for the Picture.
Originally introduced as a seductive dance by the courtesans who operated from the site, the can-can dance revue evolved into a form of entertainment of its own and led to the introduction of cabarets across Europe. Stopping for pictures
Fédéric Baron first asked his brother, and later his foreign neighbours, to write words of love in their languages, then collected 'I love you' in this way in over 300 languages and dialects of the world
The street Orchamps leads up the Rue Lepic, across from the Moulin de la Galette. Tourists do not venture there. An oasis of calm in the middle of the city. From the house, we see all of Paris. On the sky cut the wings of the Moulin Rouge
With its many artists setting up their easels each day for the tourists, the Place du Tertre is a reminder of the time when Montmartre was the mecca of modern art. Going for a little walk around the narrow streets to enjoy the atmosphere, and feeling the essence of the village of Montmartre.
The Basilica is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in Paris, France. A popular landmark and the second most visited monument in Paris. Going for a walk inside the church to enjoy the architecture and taking pictures
Driving through the village of Montmartre, enjoying the most romantic district of Paris.
The Triumphal Arch is one of the most famous monuments in Paris, standing at the western end of the Champs-Élysées at the center of Place Charles de Gaulle, formerly named Place de l'Étoile. The Arc de Triomphe honours those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I.
Most iconic monuments of Paris, explanation of the architecture, and history. Stopping for pictures, enjoying a walk around with the view.
Les Invalides, formally the Hôtel national des Invalides, or also as Hôtel des Invalides, is a complex of buildings in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, France, containing museums and monuments, all relating to the military history of France
Passing by the smallest round about of Paris, enjoying the artist lifestyle, and author district. Cruising in the iconic streets of the Latin Quarter.
The Panthéon is a building in the Latin Quarter in Paris. It was originally built as a church dedicated to St. Genevieve and to house the reliquary châsse containing her relics but, after many changes, now functions as a secular mausoleum containing the remains of distinguished French citizens.
The Arènes de Lutèce is among the most important ancient Roman remains from the era in Paris (known in antiquity as Lutetia, or Lutèce in French), together with the Thermes de Cluny. Constructed in the 1st century AD, this theatre could once seat 15,000 people and was used also as an amphitheatre to show gladiatorial combats.
The Île de la Cité is one of two remaining natural islands in the Seine within the city of Paris (the other being the Île Saint-Louis). It is the centre of Paris and the location where the medieval city was refounded. Notre Dame cathedral is located on it
Notre-Dame de Paris; meaning "Our Lady of Paris", also known as Notre-Dame Cathedral or simply Notre-Dame, is a medieval Catholic cathedral on the Île de la Cité in the fourth arrondissement of Paris, France.

We had a wonderful time. Michael was very kind abs very accommodating! He took us to the top of Sacre Cour!! And tool awesome pictures of us on the way. It was one of the highlights of our trip.
This tour was just exceptional! It was my husband and I and our 11 year old granddaughter and we all loved it. We were our own tour "group" which was really nice. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel - a nice treat. There were two motorcycles with sidecars waiting for us when we emerged from the hotel. One of us rode behind the driver of one motorcycle while another rode in the sidecar and then the third person rode in the sidecar on the other motorcycle. The drivers could not have been more pleasant and helpful and the rides were more comfortable than we expected. We were given some basic safety instructions and snug, but comfortable, helmets. We were shown a map of Paris and asked if there was anything in particular that we wanted to see then the driver shared some ideas of where they often take people. We only had one site in mind that we hadn't seen and otherwise were up for whatever they suggested. The tour did not disappoint. We stopped for a couple of pre-set photo ops and had the opportunity to ask for a picture at any time. During the ride, between stops, the drivers talked about the areas we were going through and pointed out interesting things. They talked about Paris in general and gave us some history on the neighborhoods. It was a great tour. No notes!
I never had so much FUN and excitement in Paris! Micheal was an outstanding, knowledgeable, personable and fun tour guide! (Also a great photographer). He showed me some hidden gems of Paris I haven’t seen. I appreciated that he also asked where I would like to be dropped off (as I had a reservation time slot at Notre Dame Cathedral). An unforgettable experience! Highly recommend this tour!
We had a thrilling adventure with Max as our driver. He shared unique facts snd showed us secrets (underground gas stations) of Paris. His driving skills amazed us as we wound around the traffic. We have recommended this to others that we have met on Uniworld. It was so much fun!!
We booked this sidecar motorcycle tour at the recommendation from a friend who had previously taken it with her family. Fabulous!!!!!!! The tour was Three Hours ….however we were wishing it was longer! Our tour guide was the BEST of the BEST!!!
This was such a great way to see Paris and learn of the History of so many areas and buildings. Terry was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. It was great to ride into areas that others cannot access. My only suggestion to make it better would be that there be a microphone and head sets. It was a bit loud on the cobblestones and difficult to hear what Terry was saying.
Most fun way to see Paris! We had so much fun with our group and the guides were amazing. The entire group all agree that this was a highlight of the trip.
This was the highlight of our trip!!! Absolutely amazing way to see a lot, in 3 hours! Our guides were fantastic. Will recommend this trip to all of my friends visiting Paris!
Loved everything about this. We did the half day tour. We are a family of four (children ages 9 and 11). We had two drivers who picked us up from our apartment in the 7th. I'm sorry I forgot their names, but one was a retired Parisian policeman. It was great to see all the main attractions in such a short amount of time. Being on a motorcycle really made getting around the city easier ESPECIALLY around Montmartre. I would recommend this for any family or really anyone who wants to zip around Paris. They were flexible with what we wanted to see as well. Our guides were fabulous! A must do if you can book it!
My teen and I had a lot of fun with our guide William! He drove us around the beautiful city of Paris and we had a fantastic time, even in the rain. Would recommend for anyone wanting to see the highlights and to get a feel for different neighborhoods.
