Paris Essentials Private Tour by a born-and-raised Parisian guide
Overview
Follow me, on an unforgettable PRIVATE TOUR through the very heart of Paris from 2 to 6 hours. Your are welcome to book this tour for yourself or up to 6 of your family members or friends!
From the timeless beauty of Notre-Dame to the cobblestone streets of the Marais, this tour takes you through the landmarks you simply cannot miss, with plenty of surprises and hidden gems along the way.
We’ll wander through hidden passages, uncovering the charm of Galerie Vivienne and the elegance of the Place des Vosges. Along the way, I’ll show you the city’s contrasts, where Haussmann’s grand boulevards meet the narrow medieval streets of the Marais, and where contemporary street art breathes life into centuries-old walls.
This isn’t just a history tour, it’s a full Parisian experience.
Whether you want to dive into the history of Paris or admire modern masterpieces at the Centre Pompidou, this tour is entirely tailored to your interests.
Let’s create your perfect Parisian adventure together!
