Overview

Explore the highlights of the French capital on this fascinating 3-hour private walking tour of Paris from Montmartre, to Le Marais to Notre Dame Island, and finish with tickets for a scenic river cruise along the Seine.

Begin on the steps of the imposing Sacré-Cœur basilica with its sweeping views over the whole of Paris, and enjoy a gentle downhill stroll through the Bohemian neighbourhood of Montmartre, home to artists like Vincent van Gogh and Picasso.
