Paris Private Tour

Paris Private Tour to Louvre Museum & French Crepes

A curated walk through the heart of Paris with a local guide, ending at the world-famous Louvre


This Paris private tour to the Louvre Museum takes you through the city's most storied neighborhoods, iconic monuments, and hidden corners, guided by a knowledgeable local who brings each stop to life. From the medieval grandeur of Notre-Dame to the refined elegance of the Opera Garnier, every moment is designed around authentic Parisian experience.

The itinerary balances well-known landmarks with quieter, equally compelling sites that most visitors walk past without knowing their significance. You will cross the oldest bridge over the Seine, stand at the geographical zero point of all French roads, and discover the Gothic marvel of Sainte-Chapelle with its extraordinary stained glass windows.

A traditional crêperie stop midway through the tour offers a genuine taste of Parisian daily life, paired with a glass of local cider and good conversation with your guide. The tour concludes at the Louvre, where tickets and an audio-guide are provided so you can explore the museum entirely at your own pace.

Tour Highlights

Step inside Sainte-Chapelle and experience one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in Europe, home to hundreds of magnificent medieval stained glass windows.

Stand on Point Zero in front of Notre-Dame Cathedral, the symbolic origin from which all distances in France are measured.

Enjoy a traditional French crêpe and a glass of cider in one of the best crêperies in Paris, seated alongside your private guide.

Discover the Pompidou Centre, the first museum of contemporary art in Europe, and admire the vibrant Stravinsky Fountain sculptures just outside.

Enter the Louvre Museum with pre-arranged tickets and an audio-guide, giving you the freedom to spend as long as you wish inside one of the world's greatest collections.

Walk through the Jardin des Tuileries toward Place de la Concorde, where the history of the French Revolution is written in the stone of every surrounding monument.

Browse the historic flower market on the banks of the Seine, a Parisian institution founded in 1830 that remains one of the most charming open-air markets in the city.
