Full Day Private Tour in Paris with CDG Airport Pick Up

A panoramic journey through the City of Light, from airport arrival to iconic landmarks.


This full day private tour in Paris with CDG airport pick up is the most practical way to experience the French capital when time is limited. A dedicated driver collects you directly from Charles de Gaulle Airport and guides you through the city's most celebrated sites across six focused hours.

The tour covers a broad sweep of Paris in a single circuit, stopping at landmarks including the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre pyramid, Trocadero, Le Marais, the Latin Quarter, and the Avenue des Champs-Elysees. At each stop, you step out freely for photos and personal exploration before continuing to the next destination.

This is a panoramic experience by private vehicle. The tour does not include entry into the Louvre Museum or Notre Dame Cathedral, and does not involve climbing the Eiffel Tower. There is no tour guide on board. Your driver serves as your escort and point of contact throughout the day.

The itinerary suits travellers arriving in Paris who want to make the most of a layover or a single available day. It is rated easy in difficulty and requires no prior preparation beyond comfortable footwear for short outdoor stops.
