Meet your friendly guide at the Abbesses Metro Station in the heart of Montmartre. With just six guests max, you'll enjoy a semi-private experience that feels personal and flexible from the very start.

Explore Montmartre and visit Sacré-Cœur Basilica

Ride the metro to Île de la Cité

Next, take the metro together with your guide leading the way. The small-group size keeps transfers stress-free, so you spend more time exploring and less time looking for the right metro exit.

Discover Île de la Cité and Notre-Dame Cathedral

Circle Notre-Dame from the outside and get a closer look at the flying buttresses, carved portals, and the details most people miss. Your guide walks you through the cathedral’s long history and what the restoration has meant for Paris.

Take a lunch break near the Louvre (at own expense)

A short metro ride later, you'll find yourself near the Louvre. Your guide will share recommendations for nearby lunch spots, so you can pause to enjoy at your leisure.

Your tour ends after a guided Louvre tour

Enter the Louvre for a guided highlights tour with timed entry, focused on the works that matter most, including the Mona Lisa. Your guided visit finishes inside the museum, so you can keep exploring on your own if you please.

Tour guides were great. Andre was very helpful with directions and answered cultural questions. The history and current culture was interesting. Sarah shared a lot of exhibits in the Louvre. Her knowledge and humor was great. I wouldn't have seen half as much on my own. I was pleased with what I saw of Paris. This was a helpful introduction to Paris.

We had a great day in Paris on the Semi-Private Paris in a Day tour. Our guide, Marianne, was fabulous. She was full of information about the city, the history, the culture, and the places we wanted to see. Things didn’t go perfectly because the Metro was not working correctly, but Marianne kept everything moving and stayed positive. She made sure our valuable time in Paris was well used. This tour was totally worth the money, and more importantly, worth our time. Highly recommend.
