Itinerary

Your tour begins at Metro Anvers

Meet your private guide in Montmartre for a day built entirely around what you want to see. Over the next 5 hours, you'll swap sore feet for smooth metro hops, ticking off 30-plus icons with insider stories along the way.

Climb to the domes of Sacré-Cœur

Your first stop rises above Montmartre's steep streets. Take in the basilica's Roman-Byzantine domes and the sweeping view over Paris while your guide shares how the church became a symbol of national healing.

Pose outside the red windmill of Moulin Rouge

A short stroll downhill brings you to Paris's most famous cabaret, easily spotted by its bright red windmill. Ask your guide anything about the 1889 venue that helped invent the can-can and defined Montmartre after dark.

Stand beneath the Arc de Triomphe

Ride the metro west to Place Charles de Gaulle, where the Arc de Triomphe anchors twelve grand avenues. Your guide walks you around the carved pillars, decoding scenes from the Napoleonic and Revolutionary wars.

Pause for a Parisian lunch break

Next, take a lunch break at a nearby café or bistro. Lunch isn't included, but your guide will point you toward reliable local spots so you can try something classic before the afternoon rolls on.

Wander from Tuileries to the Louvre

Emerge into the Tuileries' formal 16th-century gardens, then follow manicured lanes past marble statues toward the Louvre. Spend as long as it interests you outside the glass pyramid as your guide unpacks its royal past.

Cross Pont Neuf to Notre Dame

Hop to Île de la Cité and pause on Pont Neuf, Paris's oldest surviving bridge, for postcard views of the Seine. Linger at Notre Dame as long as you like while your guide walks you through its remarkable Gothic revival.

Cross the two-tiered Pont de Bir Hakeim

Ride the metro to Pont de Bir Hakeim, the two-tiered iron bridge made famous in French cinema. Walk between its ornate stone columns for a picture-perfect Seine crossing that frames the Eiffel Tower straight ahead.

Your tour ends outside the Eiffel Tower

Your 5-hour Paris adventure wraps beneath the iron lattice of the Eiffel Tower. Say goodbye to your guide with a solid grip on the metro, a mental map of 30-plus landmarks, and the confidence to keep exploring solo.
