Itinerary

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fetah was a phenomenal guide. We highly recommend him and would book him as a private guide again. My husband and I enjoyed learning from him and he brought kindness, humor, and fun to the day.

I had myself, my wife, and two daughters on a day long tour. I loved the way it was scheduled! I loved that Julien was able to customize the tour on the fly with some things my family wanted to see. He was extremely knowledgeable, incredibly friendly, and everyone loved spending the day with him. We are vegans and he found us a place to eat on the fly too! I’ve never had anyone tell me about art that made it interesting to me. His passion shined and our Louvre experience was great too. Thank you for everything!

A memorable tour we’ll never forget!

My daughter and I had the BEST day with Radka. We were guided through Montmartre, The Louvre, and all over the city. It was on my daughter's bucket list to see the Mona Lisa, and without the guide, we would have likely walked through and saw it with a few other things, but missed so much of the history behind what makes this museum so special. The Montmartre neighborhood was so neat to learn about, explore, and became my favorite part of Paris. Radka was so informative, helpful, and nice and wanted to share her knowledge and love for this city and it's culture with us. I would highly recommend this tour and I would ask for Radka again!!
