The Experience: A Private Paris Tour Like No Other
Morning in Montmartre: Paris' Artistic Heart Your journey begins at the base of Montmartre, one of Paris’ most charming and storied districts. Skip the steep walk and take the funicular up the hill, where the Sacré-Cœur Basilica awaits with one of the best panoramic views in the city.
Wander through the cobblestone streets of Place du Tertre, where artists still paint in the open air, and pass by the famous windmills of Montmartre, including the legendary Moulin Rouge. Along the way, stop at a quintessential Parisian café for a classic coffee and croissant (not included), just like the locals do.
Skip the Lines at the Louvre: Art, History & Legends Paris is home to some of the world’s greatest masterpieces, and with pre-reserved tickets, you’ll step right into the Louvre Museum with no time wasted. Your private guide will lead you straight to its most famous treasures, from the Mona Lisa’s enigmatic smile to Michelangelo’s sculptures and ancient Greek and Roman masterpieces.
Notre-Dame & the Heart of Medieval Paris After a well-timed break for lunch at your leisure, continue your journey into the heart of Île de la Cité, the birthplace of Paris. Get as close as possible to the Notre-Dame Cathedral, where your guide will share its incredible history and ongoing restoration.
Step into the world of French royalty and revolution at the Conciergerie, where Marie Antoinette spent her final days. Stroll through the picture-perfect Place Dauphine before crossing Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in Paris, and wandering through the Latin Quarter, home to the city’s most historic cafés and bookshops.
Eiffel Tower Views & A Grand Finale on the Seine As your day nears its end, you'll enjoy a view of the Eiffel Tower. Here, with the iconic monument before you, your guide will bid farewell, handing you a flexible ticket for a Seine River cruise.
Glide past Grand Palais, Les Invalides, and the shimmering bridges of Paris, experiencing the City of Light from a whole new perspective.
This is more than a tour—it’s the most seamless, exclusive way to experience Paris in a day.
