Highlights
- Basilique du Sacre-Coeur de Montmartre - Meet your guide and 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 more than 300 stone steps.
- Montmartre - Follow your guide for a walking tour of the neighborhood, visiting its very own vineyard and iconic windmills. Discover the past lives of famous artists and writers like Van Gogh and Picasso who once wandered these cobblestoned streets. Sit down at a charming French cafe to enjoy a coffee and croissant (not included in price).
- Louvre Museum - Hop on the metro with your guide and head to the Louvre Museum. With pre-reserved tickets, you’ll head right inside this world-class art museum. Enjoy a 90-minute guided tour and see great works like the Mona Lisa and more accompanied by stories from your expert guide.
- Paris - Pause for 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. Reconvene with your group after lunch for a short metro ride to the next stop.
- Ile de la Cite - 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. Your guide will point out several monuments including La Conciergerie, where Marie Antoinette was imprisoned, Place Dauphine, possibly the prettiest square in Paris, and the gorgeous Pont Neuf bridge.
- Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris - Severely damaged by a recent fire, Notre-Dame de Paris still stands proudly in the heart of the city; a testament to the genius of its design and the endurance of France. Your guide will bring you as close as the ongoing restoration will permit to give you the best views possible.
- Sainte-Chapelle - This royal chapel was originally built to house relics and today it’s still one of the most jaw-dropping rooms in Paris.
- Latin Quarter - You’ll briefly stroll through the Latin Quarter, one of Paris’ oldest neighborhoods and known for its restaurants and artsy bookstores.
- Shakespeare and Company Bookstore - Shakespeare and Company is among the Latin Quarter’s most famous bookstores.
- Eiffel Tower - Hop on the Metro with your guide and head to Trocadero Square. From there, enjoy stunning views of this monument and snap a few pictures from this iconic spot. Your guide will show you where to purchase tickets if you want to ascend to the top.
- Seine River - Enjoy a one hour River Seine cruise as the streetlights cast their dreamy glow on the water, or save your river excursion for the following morning.

Great tour - We walked through many areas we didn’t even know we should put on our list to see and it was wonderful. Our guide hit all the high points of the area, not talking too long and kept it moving. The Louvre was great, taking us directly through the famous sections. If you want to see more/spend more time this is not the trip for the museum. Our guide Emanuel was great!

Perfect start to our trip! - Daniel was fantastic! He was able to keep everyone engaged and shared so much knowledge. This was the perfect thing to do on our first full day of Paris to give us mini backgrounds of each area so we’re more comfortable exploring on our own the rest of the week.

Not flexible at all ! - We had a tour of 2 adults and 2 kids. One of my kid fell sick.
Despite multiple calls and emails, they could not extend my trip by +1 day. In the end , my wife and one kid attended, and me and my daughter missed.
