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.

We did Paris in a day for our short stay. Monica was our guide and she did a fantastic job leading us around the the sights and sounds of the City. She was very energetic and knowledgeable throughout our entire tour. This is the second Tour Guy (in a Day) tour we have taken as the other was in Rome. If you have limited time or want a guieded tour I highly reccomend them We have been very impressed on both our tours
Paris walking tour was great! Monika was terrific!

This was a fun way to see Paris for the first time if you only have a day and you’re jet lagged. The guide was lovely and shared a trove of great history, art, culture and food tips. For those who want to be shown Paris and don’t want to figure out tickets, metros, map and history books- this is a good value and experience!
Highly recommend

We had a fantastic time on this tour! Even though it was a walking tour, it never felt overly strenuous, and the pace was comfortable and enjoyable throughout. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, sharing interesting history and insights at every stop.
The locations we visited were excellent, and the scenery along the way was absolutely beautiful. Every stop offered something unique, making the experience both engaging and memorable. The highlight for us was definitely the Louvre. It was incredible to see such an iconic museum in person.
Overall, this was a well-organized and enjoyable tour that exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to explore the area and learn more about its history and culture.
Small group, Great tour guide!

Lovely stroll (a little more than a stroll) through Paris. Fabio is a true bohemian…felt his passion as we walked through the streets of Monmartre. And we got a little surprise expose into real life as a Parisian in the streets near Notre Dame!!! Fabio was a wealth of knowledge and such a great guide.
Great Tour!

The tour name shouldn't include the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame cathedral for simply doing a quick walk by. Most of us in our tour group thought that we were going to tour the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame and were disappointed that it wasn't the case.

Our morning started off a little rough. We took the wrong train trying to get to the Place des Abbesses…. Got off the train because we were headed back to the airport! Pretty stressful, but we ended up contacting The Tour Guy and told them we were running late. We took an Uber to Sacré Coeur and texted the tour contact when we arrived. Sent them a picture of my wife and I so they would know what we looked like too. That really helped because when the tour arrived to Sacré Coeur from Montmartre, our guide Julie found us right away! So, we missed the first hour or so, but from then on, all was well! We had a lovely time seeing the sights and listening to our expertly knowledgeable guide Julie. She really was wonderfully informative and kind. Seeing the Louvre and all the art and exhibits was fantastic. After the museum, we toured the Ile de la Cite. That was really cool, because with Julie explaining all the landmarks and accompanying history, we came away with really getting an excellent first hand education on the history and significance that increased our appreciation of Paris. Also, navigating the train was way easier with Julie at the helm! All in all, baring our late start, we had a wonderful time. We would recommend this trip to anyone who wants a small group, personable tour of Paris. The walking was not bad, we are over 50, and we were able to make it with minimal end of day foot pains! Thank you Julie, and thank you Tour Guy for the memories!
