Tour Itinerary
-
1
Your tour begins at Abbesses Metro Station
Meet your private guide at Abbesses in Montmartre and set your plan for the day. Since it’s only you and your party, you can decide what matters most and adjust the pace before you head out. -
2
Walk Montmartre’s lanes and climb toward Sacré-Cœur
Start with Montmartre’s steep streets, stairways, and hilltop views. Your guide shares the area’s artistic past and points out details you would likely miss on your own, while keeping the route comfortable for your group. -
3
Ride the Paris Metro to the Louvre
Next, take the Metro with your guide to reach the Louvre efficiently. This is one of the biggest perks of going private: you get help navigating stations, transfers, and timing, so the travel feels simple instead of stressful. -
4
Enter the Louvre with timed entry
Arrive for your timed entry and skip the long ticket lines. Once past security, your guide leads the way so you spend your energy on the art, not on figuring out where to go next. -
5
See the Mona Lisa, then follow your interests
Make your way to the Mona Lisa, then continue through other major highlights your guide recommends. Because this is private, you can linger when something clicks, or move on quickly if a room is not your style. -
6
Pass Notre-Dame, then explore the Latin Quarter on foot
After the museum, head toward Île de la Cité for an exterior view of Notre-Dame, then walk into the Latin Quarter. Your guide keeps the walk well-paced and shares stories that make this historic area easier to understand. -
7
Take free time for lunch at your own expense
Pause for lunch on your own, with recommendations that fit your budget and timing. This break also gives you a chance to rest before the final landmarks. -
8
Your tour ends at the Eiffel Tower
Finish near the Eiffel Tower for an exterior visit and a clear wrap-up of the day. Then use your included Seine River cruise ticket to slow down and take in Paris from the water.

Our guide shared wonderful stories and allowed us to skip the long lines. We got close to the Mona Lisa and had a dream day in Paris.
Every stop was special, thanks to our amazing guide. Paris felt friendly and exciting, like visiting with an old friend who knew all the secrets.
Even our older kids had a great time! The guide made sure each stop was fun, and we received great group photos to remember it.
