Full Day Private Tour in Paris with Wine Tasting
Discover Paris from dawn to dusk with a private guide, iconic landmarks, and a curated wine tasting experience.
This full day private tour in Paris is designed for travelers who want to experience the French capital thoroughly, covering its most celebrated landmarks across 11 hours without rushing from one site to the next. A private driver accompanies you for the entire duration, while a dedicated expert guide joins for six hours of in-depth commentary. Hotel pickup is included, making the experience seamless from the very start.
Paris rewards those who explore it with curiosity and time. This itinerary takes you through centuries of history, from the medieval halls of the Louvre and the Gothic grandeur of Notre Dame to the iron lattice of the Eiffel Tower and the lively streets of the Latin Quarter. Each stop is chosen to give you a layered understanding of the city rather than a surface-level overview.
The tour also ventures beyond the postcard highlights. A stroll through Le Marais reveals cobblestone alleys, historic courtyards, and independent boutiques that define the neighborhood's character. A Seine River cruise provides a different perspective on the cityscape, and the evening concludes with a wine tasting session led by a French wine specialist.
The day and night format means you witness Paris under both daylight and after dark. The transition from golden afternoon light on the Seine to the illuminated Eiffel Tower at dusk is one of the most memorable contrasts the city offers, and this tour is structured to let you experience both.

Itinerary Overview
Your private driver collects you from your Paris hotel. The first major stop is the Eiffel Tower, built by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Exposition Universelle to mark the centenary of the French Revolution. You ascend to the second floor by lift and take in views across the city.
A stop at Trocadero offers the classic panoramic view of the Eiffel Tower from the opposite bank of the Seine. The guide then accompanies you to the exterior of Notre Dame Cathedral, currently under restoration, before a short visit to the neo-renaissance Hotel de Ville on the Right Bank.
Your guide leads you inside the Louvre, the world's largest art museum, to explore key masterpieces including the Mona Lisa, the Raft of the Medusa, and the Winged Victory of Samothrace. The building itself spans from a 12th-century medieval fortress to I.M. Pei's glass pyramid added in 1989.
A walk through Le Marais takes you past cobblestone streets, historic mansions, and independent shops in one of Paris's best-preserved historic districts. The route continues to the Latin Quarter on the Left Bank, where the Sorbonne, the Pantheon, and the Luxembourg Gardens are within reach.
A one-hour Seine River cruise near the Eiffel Tower offers a relaxed view of the city's riverside architecture with recorded commentary. The tour also covers Avenue des Champs-Elysees, the famous boulevard connecting the Arc de Triomphe to the Place de la Concorde.
The day concludes with a guided wine tasting session led by a French wine specialist. You are introduced to several French wine regions and varietals, developing a broader understanding of the country's wine culture before the evening comes to a close.
