What makes this different from other Paris city tours?

Most Paris city tours pick one landmark and circle it. This Paris highlights tour links three: the Eiffel Tower, medieval Paris on Île de la Cité, and the Louvre, finishing with entry already arranged so you're inside exploring the moment you arrive, not standing in a queue.
How many people are on the tour?

We keep groups small (max 10) for an intimate experience—more like a night out with friends than a formal tour.
Is this a good Paris tour for first-time visitors?

It's built for exactly that. As a Paris sightseeing tour designed for newcomers, it covers the essentials, the Eiffel Tower, medieval Paris, and the Louvre, without you having to plan the route or book tickets yourself.
Where do we meet, and where does the tour end?

The tour begins at the Benjamin Franklin statue in the Trocadéro Gardens and ends inside the Louvre Museum, where you're free to keep exploring on your own afterward.
Does the price include a ticket up the Eiffel Tower?

No. The ticket price covers the Eiffel Tower's exterior and the surrounding gardens, not entry up the tower itself. If you'd like to go up, plan for separate time and a separate ticket.
Does the tour include a Louvre ticket?

Yes. Entry to the Louvre is included, with your ticket already arranged. You will enjoy a guided tour and free time to explore afterward.
Is there a lot of walking?

Yes, this is a Paris walking tour, covering around four to five kilometers over four hours, plus a couple of short Metro rides between sites. The pace is moderate, but plan for a full day on your feet.
Can guests with mobility needs join this tour?

Yes, with a little planning. The stops are close together and each one involves sitting rather than standing for long stretches, though some venues have a step or two at the entrance. Let us know your needs when you book, and we'll tell you exactly what to expect at each stop.
Is this tour suitable for children?

This tour suits older kids and teens best, given the walking distance and pace. Let us know the ages in your group when booking, and we can help you decide if it's the right fit.
What happens if there's a strike or a site is closed?

Strikes and site closures happen in Paris, and they're outside our control. If access to a site is restricted on the day, your guide will adjust the itinerary and walk you through an alternative on the spot.
Please note: on Tuesdays, when the Louvre is closed, the tour visits the Orsay Museum instead, with the same format and free time to explore afterward.
What should I bring?

Comfortable shoes are a must—we’ll be walking and standing throughout the experience. We recommend bringing a refillable water bottle, a camera, and an appetite.
Is a private version of this tour available?

Not at the moment. If a private version would work better for your group, let us know and we'll pass that along to our product team.
