About this tour
A three-hour private walking tour through Paris with a local guide, mixing landmark viewpoints with quieter neighbourhood corners. You'll navigate the city on foot and by Metro, hitting the Opera House, Arc de Triomphe, Notre-Dame and Eiffel Tower whilst discovering the lesser-known cafés and streets that locals favour. The itinerary flexes to your interests, and your guide points out the best angles for photographs throughout.

What to expect
Expect a steady pace covering ground on foot, with Metro journeys to skip between zones efficiently. Your guide steers you past the obvious photo spots but also lingers in quieter quarters where Parisians actually drink coffee. You'll stand at vantage points rather than queuing inside monuments, so bring comfortable shoes and be ready to move. The tour reads the room—if you want longer at a particular street or café, the route adjusts. Morning and afternoon slots both work; either way, you'll see the landmarks lit differently depending on time.
Good to know
Moderate fitness needed for sustained walking. Prams and strollers suit infants; Metro access varies. Food and drinks aren't included, though your guide can suggest spots. Gratuities are optional. Public transport is nearby if you need to cut the tour short.
