Paris Private Half Day Tour

Paris Half Day Private Tour with Eiffel Tower and Wine Tasting

A private guided journey through the heart of Paris, from iconic landmarks to a curated French wine tasting.


This Paris half day private tour delivers a comprehensive introduction to the French capital in just six hours, with hotel pickup included and an expert guide by your side throughout the experience.

Paris rewards those who know where to look, and this private tour ensures you spend your limited time at the places that genuinely matter. From the grandeur of the Champs-Elysees to the narrow cobblestone lanes of Le Marais, your guide contextualises each location with historical and cultural insight that no self-guided walk can replicate.

The tour includes a visit up the Eiffel Tower to the second floor by lift, providing elevated views across the city. A dedicated wine tasting session with a specialist rounds off the experience, offering a practical introduction to the regional diversity of French viticulture.

Because this is a panoramic city orientation, the Louvre Museum and Notre Dame Cathedral are appreciated from the exterior rather than explored inside. This approach allows the tour to cover a broad range of Paris districts and monuments without sacrificing depth at each stop.

Ascend the Eiffel Tower to the second floor by lift for panoramic views over Paris.

Private hotel pickup and drop-off included, with all transfers handled in a dedicated vehicle.

Drive along the Avenue des Champs-Elysees and pass by the Louvre, Notre Dame and Hotel de Ville.
