What to expect
Your guide will lead you through central Paris on foot, stopping at major sites and explaining their historical context. The tour moves chronologically, starting in medieval Paris before progressing through Renaissance and Baroque periods, then dwelling on the dramatic urban transformation of the 1850s–1870s. You'll cover considerable ground, so comfortable walking shoes matter. The vehicle transports you between distant stops rather than serving as a mobile viewing platform.
