About this tour
A two-hour private walking tour starting from your hotel that treats orientation as seriously as sightseeing. Rather than rush through landmarks, your guide teaches you how Paris actually works—navigating the métro, café etiquette, staying safe from pickpockets, buying tickets—while passing the Eiffel Tower, Champs-Élysées, Montmartre, Marais and other major sites. You'll leave knowing both the city's layout and its unwritten rules.

What to expect
Your guide meets you at your accommodation and walks you through central Paris over two hours. This isn't a sprint to photo stops—instead, you'll pause to understand how things work: how the métro ticket machines operate, which neighbourhoods feel safe at different times, how to order a coffee without fuss. You'll pass major monuments and museums, but the focus stays on practical knowledge. Expect a moderate pace with frequent stops to absorb surroundings and ask questions.
