What a wonderful way to explore Paris n our first trip! Having a mobility scooter in tow is not always easy. The private chauffeur was able to drop off and pick up so that there was minimal walking needed. Our guide, Lou was FANTASTIC!! We were able to share the sites we wanted to see and the company did the rest by planning our route, ensuring we had tickets if needed and most importantly Lou shared A TON of Paris history as we made our way through the sites! We enjoyed spending time learning all of the great history of Paris! She really knew her stuff!! . The team (Juliette-who was equally as amazing) contacted and met with me prior to departing for Paris to confirm our specific plans and needs for our tour!! I’d definitely book with this company again in the future Without a doubt! Thanks for helping us make memories that will last for a lifetime!!

Tour Options
Itinerary
Saint-Germain-des-Pres
Walk through a local market, grab a pastry at the local bakery and stop at a café to grasp the essence of the french lifestyle and gastronomy.
Luxembourg Gardens
This garden is a stunning example of a French garden from the 1600's and a place you will want to relax in and never leave.
Pantheon
Walking through the Latin Quarter is a must. This student district welcomes one of the oldest universities in the world and the oldest in France, as well as a gem located on the top of the hill Saint-Genevieve, The Pantheon.
Shakespeare and Company
We cannot pass in this area without checking out the iconic Shakespeare & Company bookstore. Plus there is a Wallace fountain right in front of it, which you'll see everywhere in Paris.
Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris
We'll share with you the history of this iconic church and how the fire that happened in 2019 has impacted it. The front of the church is intact, so we'll be able to admire the gorgeous details.
Pont Neuf
Home to the old medieval palace of French kings, this island also hides a unique flower market and the oldest bridge in the city, which is still standing today.
Louvre Museum
You can't come to Paris and miss the Louvre pyramid, but you already know that. So after a few photos we go explore the beautiful statues of the gardens across the museum.
Jardin des Tuileries
Around this garden you can see different points of view like the Place de la Concorde, Arc de Triomphe, Place Vendôme, Musée d'Orsay and the Eiffel Tower.
Finally, we book you a lunch reservation at our recommended french restaurant, where you'll enjoy our favorite local dishes.

For hearts and minds
What a wonderful afternoon in Paris!! Our guide, Lou, gave us a fabulous, customized tour of Paris in the few hours we had between trains today. We saw everything we asked to see and based on our discussion during the planned tour, she even threw in a few surprises for us! ♥️ I highly recommend this tour and Lou (with Dayin) as your knowledgeable and amazing tour guide!
M
A different tour to know the life of Parisians and their beautiful neighborhoods.
It's a great tour because you know the Paris of Parisians. You leave the conventional Tours to enter true Parisian life. I suggest more cultural and history information.

Great private tour!
Our tour guide, Benoit, was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and friendly and provided a great off the beaten path view of Montemarte and beyond.

Exceptional personalized tour
We booked a half day walking tour of Ile de la cite and met our guide, Lou. A native Parisian with perfect English and a wealth of information. We were lucky to be able to schedule her again for another half day of our choosing. Montmartre, Sacre Coeur, and Le Marais. Three generations, perfect pace, fun information, Lou and her team pulled this off on very short notice. Very impressive!

The perfect day in Paris!
Benoit was our tour guide and he was absolutely fabulous. We have three VERY busy boys (13, 11, 9). He was able to keep them all engaged, excited and eager to ask questions and learn more. It was catered to our needs and when he felt we were tiring, we stopped for a delicious treat and a break from standing. He “read the room,” if you will, and knew exactly what to do at what times. We will recommend him and this company to friends and family and hope to visit Paris soon!!

Half day tour with Monty
This was incredible!! Monty took us on the best tour we have ever done! We saw much of the famous architecture and history of Paris, plus a fantastic time in the Louvre. Monty could not have done better and was a perfect guide. I highly recommend the tour and Monty.
