Paris Private Full Day Tour: Montmartre, Iconic Sights & the Eiffel Tower
One city, one day, a lifetime of memories — guided exclusively for you
This Paris private full day tour takes you through the French capital's most celebrated neighborhoods, monuments, and hidden corners, all in a single expertly curated seven-hour journey. From the artistic heights of Montmartre to the iron grandeur of the Eiffel Tower, every stop has been chosen to give you an authentic and comprehensive experience of Paris.
Your private host leads you through the bohemian streets of Montmartre, where Monet, Picasso, Dali, and Van Gogh once found their inspiration. A traditional French lunch break in the neighborhood gives you time to rest and savor the local cuisine before continuing downtown.
The afternoon unfolds along the grand axis of Parisian history — from the elegant Tuileries Gardens and the Place de la Concorde to the banks of the Seine and the soaring Pont Alexandre III. The day concludes at the Eiffel Tower, where your host arranges skip-the-line access to the summit approximately 300 meters above the city.
