Overview

See Paris with the ease of private transport and the depth of a local’s perspective. This guided experience blends the city’s essential sights with moments that feel intimate and personal.

You’ll marvel at icons like the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre Pyramid, and the beautifully restored Notre-Dame, sometimes from the comfort of your vehicle, sometimes venturing on foot for a closer look. But what sets this experience apart are the encounters that bring texture to the day: visiting an artist inside a private studio to learn about their work, a wine tasting inside a centuries-old building, stories that add meaning to the streets you pass.

Your guide tailors the experience to your interests, creating a day that feels fluid, thoughtful, and connected. It’s a way to understand Paris not just as a collection of landmarks, but as a living city with character and soul.

  3. Latin Quarter

  4. Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris
    30m
    Tour outside the recently restored Gothic cathedral as you learn about its rebirth after the fire and admire its rose windows and flying buttresses.

    Admission is free, as this religious monument does not require an entrance ticket
  5. Montmartre
    50m
    On the way to Montmartre, pass the Louvre for a glimpse of its giant glass pyramid. Once at Montmartre, you’ll stand in awe as you view Paris from your hilltop perch. See the famous façade of the Sacré-Cœur Basilica. We’ll also drop in on a private studio to speak to a local artist about their unique style and life in Montmartre.
  6. 1h 30m · Admission ticket included
    Lunch on traditional French cuisine in a historic 16th-century building. Afterward, enjoy a guided wine tasting as you learn how terroir shapes a wine’s character.
  7. Quartier de la Gare
    1h 30m
    Drive past the Palais Garnier, an opulent blend of Neo-Baroque and Beaux-Arts design, now home to the Paris Opera. From here, we’ll continue down the Rue de la Paix, lined with luxury storefronts and ending at the iconic Place Vendôme.
  8. Place de la Concorde
    10m
    Your tour ends at the largest public square in Paris. Here, you’ll marvel at the two elaborately carved symbolic fountains and the 3,300-year-old Luxor Obelisk at the center, gifted to Paris by Egypt.
