Itinerary
Your tour begins in Montmartre
Meet your guide at Abbesses Metro Station in Montmartre and get to know the group before you set off. You start the day in one of Paris’s most character-filled neighborhoods, where café corners and steep streets hint at the hilltop views ahead.
Explore Montmartre highlights & hidden gems
Explore Montmartre’s narrow streets in the quieter morning hours as your guide brings to life the stories of St. Denis, Picasso, artist cafés, and the origin of “bistro.” Discover a hidden garden and local gems that many visitors miss.
Pause for a coffee, then head up to Sacré-Cœur for Paris’ best views
Take a break at a local café for coffee or a snack before heading to Sacré-Cœur, Montmartre’s landmark basilica perched atop the city’s highest hill. From here, enjoy panoramic views and some of Paris’s best photo opportunities.
Take the metro to Île de la Cité
Next, ride the metro with your guide and get comfortable moving around Paris like a local. In under an hour, you arrive on Île de la Cité, the historic heart of the city where medieval Paris still feels close to the surface.
Follow your guide’s lead around Île de la Cité and the Notre-Dame (exterior)
Take in Notre-Dame Cathedral from the outside and learn about its long history and ongoing restoration. Just outside, stand at Point Zéro, the official centre of France’s road network, before continuing to the nearby Conciergerie to see its 14th-century clock, the oldest in Paris.
Hop back on the metro toward the Louvre
Then, hop back on the metro for a quick journey to the Louvre. Metro tickets are included, and your guide leads the way so no time is wasted hunting for the right line or dealing with the ticket machine.
Take a lunch break near the Louvre
Pause for lunch near the Louvre (at own expense). Ask your guide for recommendations; they know the best spots around.
Tour the Louvre Museum with timed entry
Head inside the Louvre for a guided highlights tour that helps you make sense of this massive collection. See must-sees like the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and Winged Victory, plus major French masterpieces.
Your tour ends inside the Louvre
Your guided visit finishes inside the Louvre, so you can keep exploring on your own if you want. With the layout and key works fresh in mind, it’s easy to choose a wing and slow down for the pieces that interest you most.
