Full description
See many noteworthy sights of Paris in just one day accompanied by an expert local guide. Make the most of your time with tickets to the Louvre Museum to explore the world's largest art museum and see the Mona Lisa. Explore the City of Light by foot on city strolls through Montmartre and Ile de la Cité, where you'll see the ongoing restoration at Notre Dame. Enjoy a view of the Eiffel Tower before picking up a ticket for a Seine River cruise to take in a Paris sunset from the water for the perfect end to a perfect day. Please note: If you select the Tuesday tour at time of booking, you will visit the Orsay Museum instead of the Louvre, which is closed on Tuesdays.
Make the most of your time in Paris with a guided tour of the Louvre, Montmartre, and Ile de la Cité to see the restoration of Notre-Dame before ending your day next to the Eiffel Tower. On this tour you'll get to know the City of Lights and check attractions off your sightseeing bucket list during an invigorating tour through the French capital.
Launch your adventure with a funicular ride to see the Sacré Cœur Basilica in Montmartre. Feel your heart soar as you ascend through the 18th arrondissement and ogle at the white-stone façade of the Sacré Cœur without having to trudge up the neighborhood's more than 300 stone steps. Follow your guide for a walking tour of the neighborhood, visiting its very own vineyard and iconic windmills. Sit down at a charming French cafe to enjoy a coffee and croissant (not included in price).
Hop on the metro with your guide and head to the Louvre Museum. With pre-reserved tickets, you'll enjoy a 90-minute guided tour and see great works like the Mona Lisa and more accompanied by stories from your expert guide. On Tuesdays, due to the Louvre being closed, you will visit the Orsay Museum instead. The Orsay Museum is home to the largest collection of Impressionist paintings, including famous works by Van Gogh, Monet, and more.
Before moving on to the next stop, delight in a 1-hour break and enjoy lunch at your own expense. Duck inside a French bistro or poke into a patisserie and dine on a crusty baguette, fresh fromage, and an energizing espresso.
The tour continues with a walking tour of Île de la Cité, an island in the middle of the Seine River and the birthplace of Paris. Fully restored after the devastating fire, Notre Dame stands proudly in the heart of the city. The cathedral is a testament to the genius of its design and the endurance of France. Your guide will give a brief overview of Notre Dame's history as you enjoy the best views of this iconic landmark. Your guide will also point out several monuments including the building where Marie Antoinette was imprisoned, Paris' prettiest square Place Dauphine, and the gorgeous Pont Neuf bridge.
As afternoon stretches toward evening, your guide will walk with you in the direction of the Eiffel Tower. They'll show you where to purchase tickets to climb to the top if you're interested. Before saying farewell to your guide, they will also give you a ticket to board a Seine river cruise as the streetlights cast their dreamy glow on the water, or save your river excursion for the following morning.
