Paris Guided Tours
There are several guided tours to help you explore the history and attractions of Paris. Some tour guides will pick you up and drop you off at your hotel, some will just pick you up, and others will do neither!.
There are many tours available to choose from and your choice will depend upon your interests and the time you have available.
PARIS CITY TOUR
A typical city tour will last about 3 ½ hours, with your guide (and a minibus) taking you to visit the major sites of Paris. Your tour will be presented in English (or French if you choose) and the guides are skilled at explaining the history of each destination and landmark - this ensures that your Paris tour is both an enjoyable and an educational experience at the same time.
If you don’t have enough time for the full tour then shorter tours of paris are also available. Usually lasting just two hours you will geta whistle-stop tour of the key highlights.
On the other hand, if you have more time to spare there are tours that will show you all the major sights and then finish with a pre-organisd lunch, typically at the Eiffel Tower where your table will be ready for you on arrival - no hassle with reservations or availability.
Cruise the Seine River
There are various cruises available on the Seine River, and these are a very popular way to discover the city. Lovely at any time but perhaps most romantic at sunset or after dark, you will see many of the landmarks from your boat. These river cruises often take about two hours to complete.
I want everything tours!
If you want to have a full day of the tour experience you can book one that combines all the elements above - a detailed tour of the parisian highlights, lunch in a restaurant, and a boat tour along the Seine. A great way to start your visit perhaps, while you acclimatise yourself, settle in, and become familiar with the layout of Paris.
Louvre Museum Guide Tours
The Louvre is one of the greatest and most highly reputed art museums in the world…but it is also rather big! You will perhaps get more from your visit on a guided tour showing you some of the many highlights - and perhaps avoiding some of the 400,000 exhibits that are a little less interesting!
