• 5See it all in a day

  We had just one day in Paris. This tour fit the bill. We saw all the big sights in Paris. Our guide, Stan, was super knowledgeable. He guided us safely to all the sights and gave us just the right amount of historical information. I highly recommend this tour if you are short on time and want to see it all.

• 5Our guide was wonderful....

  Our guide was wonderful. It was great way to get a sampling of what Paris has to offer. It was a long day, with lots of walking, but totally worth it. The river cruise at the end was a relaxing end to the day.

  The tour was amazing! Our guide Daniel was knowledgeable and quite entertaining. We had our 8 month old with us and was able to stop and do Diaper changes etc. I would highly recommend. We left this tour feeling like our trip to Paris was complete.

About Paris

Paris pairs grand boulevards and riverside monuments with café terraces, art collections of global stature and neighbourhoods that feel like villages.

The Seine runs through the heart of the city, past the Île de la Cité with Notre-Dame and the Sainte-Chapelle, the long façade of the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay in its former railway station. Downriver, the Eiffel Tower rises over the Champ de Mars, and the Arc de Triomphe crowns the Champs-Élysées.
