Fred Gray
Our guide Aida provided the absolute perfect day in Paris. The depth of her knowledge, matched with her English skills and cool vibe made our day the best! The trip was a celebration of 30 years of marriage and from the start of the day to the end it affirmed that we made the best decision by hiring The Tour Guy and Aida to show us Paris. From Monmartre, to the Louvre, to the Eiffel Tower we were able to focus on our priorities whilst Aida gave us the very best explanations and detail. PERFECT DAY!!
Amazing Tour w/an Amazing Tour Guide
Sharese Enahora
We scheduled a private tour and Amira was our guide for the day. We were traveling with our children and had a stroller and Amira was so patient with us and our younger children. She went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. She answered all of DH’s questions (he loves history) as well as the questions of our older children. She kept all of us engaged, from the youngest to the oldest. She made this tour special for our family; we even got to meet Van Gogh (a look like of course😉), eat some amazing traditional baguettes, and see the famous TikTok cat guy perform. If you could request a tour guide, I would recommend Amira. ❤️
Shout out to our guide, Fabien!
Unverified Review
Where can I start? First, we had the BEST guide. Fabien knows her stuff! Second, the tour itself covers almost all of the "must see" sites in Paris. My group of 15 enjoyed everything about this tour. Just make sure you have on comfortable shoes. 😉

Is the Eiffel tower included on this tour?
No, Eiffel Tower Tickets are not included in this tour. However, if you'd like to head to the coveted summit (with a stop at the second floor), check out our Eiffel Tower Summit Evening Tour.
Will we enter Notre Dame?
Sadly, no. The cathedral is still undergoing extensive renovations following the 2019 fire, so no one is allowed inside yet. You'll be taken to it to see its progress up close though! And you can see it during your river cruise.
How do we get around the city?
Your guided tour includes train tickets to travel the longer distances between attractions. Other areas will be explored on foot, particularly Montmartre.
Can I use my Paris Museum Pass to get a discount on the Louvre tour?
We pre-book all of our reservations and tickets for the Louvre Museum in advance, so personal museum passes are not valid for entry or a discount.
What if I have concerns about my mobility on this tour?
This private tour is your best bet if you have concerns about navigating the areas on this tour. Our private tours offer more flexibility in terms of pace and special accommodations. Please note, however, Montmartre includes stairs and steep inclines, which may not be ideal for strollers or wheelchairs.
When can I take my Seine River Cruise?
Your tickets will be sent to you via email within 24 hours of your tour departure time. To redeem the boat tickets, please bring them to the Bateaux Parisiens boarding line. This is located below the Carousel at the Eiffel Tower, under the bridge to your right on the river. These tickets are valid for any date for boats between 10:30 am and 10:00 pm so you have lots of flexibility to enjoy this cruise during your time in Paris.
