What you’ll do

With your host leading you past trés élégant locals at cobbled sidewalk cafes, you’ll see 20 of Paris’s most iconic attractions in just eight hours. Crane your neck up at the July Column in Place de la Bastille, a stone’s throw from the banks of the Seine in central Paris. See the vintage clothing stores and trendy galleries of artsy Le Marais, the neighboring district, and sample cheeses at 400-year-old Marché d'Aligre, a historic covered market. Admire the historic architecture in the Latin Quarter on the opposite side of the river, and you’ll see why tourists flock to Paris – but, thanks to your host, you’ll also see its secret side, like the unexpectedly spectacular view of central Paris from the Arab World Institute!

We provided him with details of what we had planned for our trip to Paris, and he adapted his 8-hr tour with us around what he knew we’d be seeing in the days to follow. He’s extremely Knowledgeable, personable, and clearly excited about Paris. He showed us many “off the beaten path” sites that were interesting and beautiful. He’s a wonderful host and guide to amazing Paris!

He was a very good guide, not making us waste any time. He knew a lot about the city, and told us everything not only about history, but also about archaeology and culture.
