Private Half Day Tour to Montmartre and Eiffel Tower

Explore the artistic village of Montmartre and the iconic Eiffel Tower on a single private guided journey through Paris.


This private half day tour of Montmartre and the Eiffel Tower takes you through two of the most celebrated landmarks in Paris, all within five hours and with the comfort of a dedicated chauffeur-driven vehicle. You move at your own pace, with no shared group and no fixed crowd to follow.

Montmartre sits atop a gentle hill in the 18th arrondissement and retains the quiet character of a Parisian village. Its cobbled lanes, open-air artists, and neighbourhood bistros offer a contrast to the grandeur found elsewhere in the city. The white-domed Basilica of the Sacré-Coeur crowns the district and provides sweeping views over the rooftops of Paris.

After a two-hour walking exploration of Montmartre, your driver takes you directly to the Eiffel Tower. Built by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Exposition Universelle, the tower stands as a defining monument of the industrial era and receives close to seven million visitors each year. You are free to spend as much or as little time at the site as you wish.

This tour suits travellers who prefer a private, unhurried format and want to cover two distinct neighbourhoods in a single outing. The itinerary is designed to be flexible, allowing you to linger or move on according to your own interests.
