Eiffel Tower Tour

“We protest against the erection of this useless and monstrous Eiffel Tower,” was actually written in reaction to France’s most iconic monument in 1894.

People were actually outraged at how ugly it was. Today, his 1,063 foot iron lattice tower still stands and attracts 7,000,000 visitors each year.

The long lines can be intimidating and a visit is considered an all day event.

However, our Eiffel Tower Night Tour is a romantic evening without the lines. The tour starts at dusk with boat ride on the Seine.

As the sun descends, the Eiffel Tower lights up and sparkles. Enjoy this magnificent sight with a glass of champagne in your hands and then climb the Tower to see amazing views of the city lit up at night.

Catacombs Tour

The catacombs are a labyrinth that can only be seen a few months out of the year, which is why lines to get in can be up to 5 hours long.

Although the catacombs are hundreds of miles, only one mile is open to the public. Why are skeletons stacked up in intricate designs below Paris?

Where did these skeletons come from? Why are there 6,000,000 of them?

Discover one of the great mysteries of Paris without spending long hours waiting outside.  Allow one of our guides to help you explore underground Paris and learn the macabre details of this 200-year-old ossuaries.

Food Tours

If you’re looking for amazing food, Paris is one of the best places to visit.  There are more Michelin restaurants in this city than any other city on Earth.

Le Marais is the nerve center of gastronomical delights, which is why our Le Marais Food Tour is one of our most popular experiences.

You will have the opportunity to taste amazing French delicacies and, if you dare, our Super Expensive Food Tour awaits. Enter the ultimate Parisian fantasy and taste some of the best and most unforgettable food the city has to offer.

Day Trips from Paris

Why stop in Paris?  Many great sights in France are merely a drive away.  The beaches of Normandy where World War II was viciously fought has been kept as is, down to bullet holes, craters and cannon shells.

A day visit includes every monumental sight and a local cider house—the region’s specialty. The Champagne Region, of course, boasts champagne.

Our day trip will take you to champagne tastings, as well as the monumental churches of Reims. Finally, there’s the Palace of Versailles, which is so astonishing that it will be easy to forget what century you’re in.

As you stroll from rooms and chambers that re-define the meaning of “home,” you will even find that the toilets are opulent.

Kings and Queens lived here and your guide will tell you about all their amazing stories right where they took place.
