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!

What travelers think of our Paris experiences
July 2025
With only one day in Paris on a layover, we made the most of it with an eight hour walking tour for first time visitors that passed through what felt like every notable building in central Paris. The tour was easy to book, we were able to specify our interests, and our guide Hristo kept in touch with us in advance to organize an itinerary and coordinate a meeting location. The tour was completely customizable and in our case focused on historic and cultural highlights, meandering along both banks of the Seine and then to the Arc and Eiffel Tower. Hristo provided in depth knowledge of historical facts and features on each of our stops, answered all of our questions, and provided his own personal perspectives through the walk. We took breaks when needed, visited extra places when we were ahead of schedule, and as we finished slightly early, got some help finding a place for dinner. It was a long day with a ton of walking but well worth it!

We provided him with details of what we had planned for our trip to Paris, and he adapted his 8-hr tour with us around what he knew we’d be seeing in the days to follow. He’s extremely Knowledgeable, personable, and clearly excited about Paris. He showed us many “off the beaten path” sites that were interesting and beautiful. He’s a wonderful host and guide to amazing Paris!
