Paris Private Guided Layover Tours

Had an amazing layover trip w fadi. Was so outgoing and helpful. He shared tons of amazing information and was super efficient tailoring an experience based around the time we had available. We feel like we did everything we wanted in one day and so much more. The car and communication on when and where to be picked were also great.

We had an 8 hour layover in Paris and decided to do a quick tour. My brother and his family were staying in Paris so I requested a stop at a specific place near the Eiffel Tower which they were able to accommodate. Communication was great. Flora picked us up on time at the airport in a comfortable van. We met Fadi, our guide, in the city. He was great and was able to give us a lot of info in the short amount of time we had. He also took amazing photos of our whole family. After our quick tour, Flora got us back to the airport with plenty of time to get our flight. Highly recommend for a quick layover tour!

Wonderful experience when you are on limited time and want to see the highlights with minimal stress!

Our driver Alain was amazing. We havd limited time in Paris and we were able to tour Paris. Alain know all the history around Paris and was ver knowledgable. We greatly appreciated it and hope to be back soon!

Fadi was a great driver and guide, polite and very educated. He picked us up at the airport and showed us the best of Paris. We had been to Paris several times before but I had never learned so much history as I learned with Fadi. After the tour he took us back to the airport . He was great!

This is my first time in Paris and only here for a long layover. Fadi, my guide, showed me the highlights of the city. It was a very well spent 4 hours!

We had a 7 hour layover at CDG and booked a private tour with Maya. It ended up being one of the best parts of our trip. Before we arrived, Maya gave us clear instructions on where to meet our guide and made everything easy and stress-free. Our guide, Alain, was amazing. He was friendly, easy to talk to, and knew a lot about Paris, France, and its history. As we drove around the city, he shared interesting stories that made us appreciate everything we were seeing. Even though we only had about four hours, we got to see so much. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower from Trocadéro, stopped at the Arc de Triomphe, drove down the Champs-Élysées, crossed the Seine at our request, and visited the Louvre Pyramid. We also stopped at a local bakery and had some of the best croissants we've ever eaten. We walked around the Arc de Triomphe while enjoying them, which was one of our favorite moments. What really stood out was how personal the tour felt. During our conversation, I mentioned that I had been reading about Joan of Arc. We got into a conversation about her. At the end of the tour, Alain made a special stop to show us her statue overlooking Paris at Montmartre and Sacré-Cœur,. It wasn't part of the original plan, but he wanted to make sure we saw it. That small gesture meant a lot and made the experience even more memorable. Even after adjusting the route based on what we wanted to see he got us back to Charles de Gaulle Airport right on time. Our carry-on bags stayed safely in the vehicle the whole time, so we never had to worry about them. If you have a long layover in Paris, I highly recommend Maya and her team. And if Alain is your guide, you're in for a great experience. He made our first visit to Paris one we'll always remember.

Maya helped us book a last-minute tour of Paris on Bastille Day after our travel plans changed and we unexpectedly ended up with a nine-hour layover. We knew this would not be an easy task on such an important and celebrated holiday. From the start, we were provided with clear instructions on navigating the airport and meeting our guide. We were fortunate enough to have Fadi as our guide for the day, and he truly made the experience unforgettable. He first took us to the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, where we enjoyed an amazing view of the Bastille Day air show. From there, we explored Montmartre, wandered through the arts district, caught a hidden glimpse of the Eiffel Tower, and made a quick stop at La Maison Rose, one of the most photographed restaurants in France, which was once studio artists such as Dalí and Picasso. We were able to enjoy all the Parisian treats we had hoped for, including croissants, baguettes, macarons, and crêpes. We also stopped at Galeries Lafayette (bathroom pitstop) for its spectacular rooftop view of the Eiffel Tower before heading off for some closer views of the iconic landmark itself. Due to Bastille Day road closures, the Champs-Élysées and Arc de Triomphe were inaccessible, but we were still able to get close enough to enjoy great views. We knew ahead of time that the Louvre would be closed on the day of our visit, and we were informed in advance that portions of the area would be restricted because the President was attending the parade. We greatly appreciated the transparency and work around in the itinerary. We felt incredibly lucky to experience the atmosphere of Bastille Day firsthand. Along the way, we saw many different military vehicles participating in the celebrations and were also able to visit Parvis Notre-Dame and the beautiful Jardin du Luxembourg. Considering the holiday, we really lucked out with minimal traffic and convenient parking throughout the day. Thank you, Fadi, for everything you did to make our short visit to Paris so memorable. You were a pleasure to spend the day with, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful tour of Paris with Fadi. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared interesting facts about the city’s history and famous landmarks. He made the day enjoyable and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the tour. I highly recommend Fadi to anyone looking for a memorable experience in Paris!

Perfect experience for time-limited travel. Worth the effort to see a glimpse of the city on a layover.
