Overview

As soon as you arrive in Paris, get situated, learn the law of the land, and hit the ground running.

We meet you at your hotel, and we create a custom-built itinerary for you.

Your private guide is a local who shares all that she knows, in order to optimize your stay in Paris. What transport can you use? What attraction got left out of your program? What is the best time for you to skip the lines into le Louvre? What up-and-coming restaurant just opened next to your hotel?
This tour is for people who want to make the most of the time they spend in Paris.

Private. Two base options: 3.5 and 7 hours. You can also add extra time on top, at €35/30 minutes. To add extra time, first reserve your option, then contact us.
