What to expect
You'll be collected from your accommodation and driven to each major site. Expect a mix of minivan transport and walking tours—Montmartre and the Latin Quarter involve genuine exploring on foot, while bigger attractions like the Louvre and Arc de Triomphe include admission and guide-led orientation. The Eiffel Tower stop is for photography and logistics; your guide helps you understand ticket options if you want to go up. A lunch break is factored into the day. The pace is brisk but manageable; you're seeing highlights rather than lingering deeply anywhere. Most stops allow some independent exploration after the guided introduction.
Good to know

Under-18s and eligible EU/EEA residents under 26 get free museum entry with ID. Public transport is nearby if you need to skip any portion. Gratuities, food, and drinks are separate costs.
