Full Day Tour in Paris with Louvre and Wine Tasting

Discover the City of Light through its greatest landmarks, its legendary river, and its celebrated wines.


This full day private tour of Paris with Louvre and wine tasting brings together the city's most iconic sites, a scenic Seine River lunch cruise, and an expert-led French wine tasting session into a single, seamlessly arranged experience.

Your private vehicle collects you directly from your hotel, removing the stress of navigating public transport between neighborhoods. A dedicated guide accompanies you through each stop, providing context that transforms sightseeing into genuine discovery.

The itinerary moves from the grand halls of the Louvre to the cobblestone lanes of Le Marais, continuing past Notre Dame Cathedral, the Latin Quarter, the Champs-Elysees, and the Eiffel Tower. Each district carries its own distinct character, and the pacing allows time to absorb each one rather than simply pass through.

The afternoon opens onto the Seine River, where a cruise glides past the Assemblee Nationale, the Invalides, the Musee d'Orsay, and the Institut de France. The day concludes with a structured wine tasting session guided by a specialist who explains the regional diversity and character of French wines.
