Private Tour Dedicated to You

We deliver the City Wonders difference. There are a lot of ways to see the best sites of the City of Lights, but none is as expertly crafted nor exquisitely tailored to each person’s individual interests as our tour is. That’s because it is completely private, with an expert, English-speaking guide dedicated entirely to you and your traveling companions. This gives you the time and individualized attention to ask any questions you have and pose for pictures (to avoid “selfie arm,” just ask your guide to take them).

The Most Leisurely Way to See the Most Sites

This leisurely walking tour will begin on Place de la Concorde, formerly called the “Place de la Révolution.” It was here, during the French Revolution, that Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette were beheaded. We’ll continue on with a stroll through the elegant Tuileries Garden, founded in the 16th century. The epitome of natural beauty, enjoy its romantic terraces and fountains.

Saunter through the Palais Royal, whose courtyard is home to Daniel Buren’s controversial art installment, Les Deux Plateaux. The magnificent beauty of this site’s gardens betrays its dark, revolutionary past – but we’ll let your guide tell you more about those 18th and 19th century secrets. On certain days, you may also get to explore covered passages where high society once exchanged royal gossip.

Next, we’ll stroll past the Louvre, the most visited art gallery in the world. Home to 35,000 pieces including the Mona Lisa, be sure to check our other tours of this 60,000-square-meter museum as it needs its own wholly dedicated day. But wait, we’re not finished yet!

Even More Sites to Stroll

Your guide will then take you back in time as you head to the beautiful Île de la Cité, one of the city’s two natural islands. Here, you’ll walk in the footsteps of 2,000-year-old Heart of Paris history. See the imposing walls of the Conciergerie, pass by the Saint-Chapelle, and see the oldest clock in Paris dating back to 1535. It still works!

Last, but most definitely not least, discover why Victor Hugo selected Notre Dame as the setting for his widely acclaimed novel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Marvel at its flying buttresses, towers and menacing gargoyles that were recently threatened by but restored from a devastating fire. Your tour comes to an end on the smaller Île Saint-Louis island, featuring magnificent mansions dating back to the 17th century. Enjoy picturesque views from the bank of the Seine River then join us as we visit one of the most delicious local ice cream shops. And if you’re so inclined, treat yourself to a scoop – you will not be disappointed!
