Sample itinerary

9am. Meet and greet at your hotel. We take a taxi for the Louvre.

9:30am. In the largest museum in the world, knowing your way around is important. Your tour focuses on the Louvre’s top must-sees. But your guide also adds Egyptian art, because your kid is studying Egypt at school.

Who stole the Mona Lisa? How did the French keep the Venus of Milo away from the Nazis during WWII? Your tour focuses on art, but also on the adventures and the stories that stand behind the art.

11am. We exit Louvre through the back door and to the Art Boardwalk. After the museum bit, we catch some air and we take in the view – 360° across the River Seine.

11:15am. Your tour heads to the Latin Quarter. The birthplace of the world’s oldest university, the Paris of the Middle Ages, the student district that captures intellectual, historic, elegant Paris. Landmarks here include Sorbonne university, the Pantheon and the iconic Luxembourg garden.

12:45pm. You felt like eating a croque-monsieur on a sunny terrace. So your guide helped find and book the right place. The croques are delicious, but watching the crowds is also fun.

2pm. As the weather is so sunny, your guide suggests ice cream in the Luxembourg garden for dessert. We admire the manicured flower arrangements. But the well-dressed children pushing miniature sail boats on the pond are also well worth the visit.

2:45pm. Our stroll down to the river covers the Roman arenas – large but well hidden behind innocuous-looking doors. And also Saint-Louis – Paris’ smaller island, the small area every Parisian dream of moving to.

3:15pm. Welcome aboard! We jump on our cruise boat on the river Seine. Your cruise tickets are included. We selected the only company that runs a cruise one way, from Notre Dame to the Eiffel Tower.

Off to the Eiffel tower, for early photos before the crowds. Your guide takes the photos. Your guide tells how the French all hated the tower and voted to tear it down. And what saved the Tower from demolition.

You are about to enjoy more landmarks than you ever though Paris contained: the romantic bridges of the river Seine, the Eiffel tower, Concord Plaza and the Louvre and the Orsay museums.  The Palace of the Legion of Honor, the royal garden of Tuileries. Saint-Germain, the Latin Quarter and the Marais. And eventually Paris’ sister islands, Cité and Notre Dame.

4pm. The tour ends. You get off the boat at the Eiffel Tower. You can climb up, for the view. Or else your guide can advise you about the best ways to walk home.

When

Available every day (except on Tuesdays), you choose the starting time (operating hours 8am - 8pm).
