Paris City Center Private Tour — Your Own Guide, Your Own Pace
Overview
Discover the heart of Paris on a private walking tour made just for you and your group.
With a certified guide dedicated entirely to your group, uncover how Paris's iconic landmarks set the stage for 2,000 years of history, from Napoléon Bonaparte to Gustave Eiffel, at your own pace.
Pass Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, and the Seine as your guide reveals stories most visitors never hear — the French Revolution, Haussmann's reconstruction of 19th-century Paris, and the secrets behind its most photographed monuments. Ask questions, linger where you like, and shape the route around what interests you.
Your guide also shares real local insight — French culture, customs, and personal restaurant and activity recommendations away from the tourist traps.
Why go private:
• A certified guide exclusively for your group
• Flexible pacing built around your interests
• Personalized local recommendations
•Notre-Dame, the Louvre & the Seine
Join us for a Paris tour you'll remember forever.
