What you'll do

With your host leading you past trés élégant locals at cobbled sidewalk cafes, you’ll see 20 of Paris’s most iconic attractions in just eight hours. Crane your neck up at the July Column in Place de la Bastille, a stone’s throw from the banks of the Seine in central Paris. See the vintage clothing stores and trendy galleries of artsy Le Marais, the neighboring district, and sample cheeses at 400-year-old Marché d'Aligre, a historic covered market. Admire the historic architecture in the Latin Quarter on the opposite side of the river and you’ll see why tourists flock to Paris – but, thanks to your host, you’ll also see its secret side, like the unexpectedly spectacular view of central Paris from the Arab World Institute!

Where you’ll go

Paris’s attractions are too many to count – but in just eight hours, you’ll discover several across the city’s most famous arrondissements. From the banks of Île de la Cité, one of the Seine’s natural islands in the very heart of Paris, you'll be able to see two of the city’s most famous landmarks: the Louvre and Notre-Dame. From here, you’ll head west along the river towards the Champ de Mars and the Eiffel Tower and amble south through the historic Latin Quarter, past the Pantheon, towards the chilling Catacombs of Paris. From walking in the footsteps of Picasso and Dalí in the hilltop Montmarte district to watching a perfect Parisian sunset on the manicured lawns of Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, you’ll discover some of Paris’s most iconic districts.

Reviews

    Lili was an amazing host. She knows her way around Paris! She had all the sites we wanted to see mapped out and timed so we could catch our train on time. Her pick for our lunch restaurant was so yummy and authentic. I 100% recommended using Lili while in Paris.

    We enjoyed our 8 hour local tour with Lili. She showed us areas we wanted to see and areas we did not yet know and she gave local recommendations and provided us with good information of the areas and how to get around. We then were able to easily use public transport all around Paris and catch the train to Versailles. Thanks Lili. It was a long day and maybe next time we would consider doing Two tours of four hours each over two days instead so we could your in the morning then spend time enjoying the areas by ourselves in the afternoon. So we will see you on our next visit Lili!!
