Full description
Begin in Montmartre, the bohemian hilltop district loved by artists. Ride the funicular to the Sacré-Cœur Basilica and admire a panoramic view of Paris from the terrace. Then wander cobbled lanes lined with painters’ studios, historic windmills, and Paris' oldest vineyard. Pause for all the walking with a coffee at a traditional Parisian café (own expense).
Hop on the Metro with your guide and continue to the Louvre Museum with pre-booked tickets that save valuable time. For the next 1.5 hours, your guide will lead you through the highlights of the world’s largest art museum, sharing fascinating stories behind works like the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo.
After a 1 hour break for lunch (own expense), meet your guide to explore Île de la Cité, the birthplace of Paris. View Notre-Dame’s intricate façade and learn about its ongoing restoration, then pass by landmarks like the Sainte-Chapelle Church and Conciergerie on your walking tour. Along the way, hear stories from your guide about Marie Antoinette, the French Royal family, and the French Revolution as Paris' history unfolds before your eyes.
Get on the Metro one last time for the day and conclude your adventure with views of the Eiffel Tower. With a carefully planned itinerary and expert guide who accompanies you every step of the way, this private tour allows you to see more of Paris in less time.

Reviews
The tour was great and having priority on the boat was excellent
If you’re reading this, book it now! You’ll be one of the first on the boat and get the best spot before anyone else. Daniela (aka “Daniel”) treated us exceptionally well from start to finish. Her knowledge of the falls and the stories behind them was the perfect balance of informative and entertaining. She keeps you laughing throughout the tour and enjoys the experience right alongside you as if it were her first time seeing it. 10/10 — I would recommend this tour to anyone. As an added bonus, our group had only four people, which made the experience absolutely incredible and much more personal. Thanks again, Daniel! 😉
