Discover Paris like never before with a private, customizable tour that goes beyond the usual tourist spots.

<h3>Must-see sights  </h3>
Paris is filled with history and art. Here are some must-visit places to consider for your itinerary:
<b>Eiffel Tower</b>: No trip to Paris would be complete without visiting this iconic landmark. Even though it is one of the busiest places to visit in the city, there are still a few ways to enjoy it without the crowds. Your local guide can share tips for the best times to visit for a quieter experience and where to take the best photos.
<b>The Louvre</b>: Home to the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo, the Louvre museum is a masterpiece in itself and one of the best art museums in the world. You can skip the hassle of navigating such a big museum on your own with the guidance of a local expert, who can share the fascinating stories behind the artwork and the museum’s rich history with your <a href="https://www.toursbylocals.com/tours/france/louvre?utm_source=internallinks&utm_medium=marketingblock&utm_campaign=parislandingpage"target="_blank"> private Louvre tour</a>. 
<b>Montmartre</b>: The bohemian neighbourhood of Montmartre is perfect for a walking tour. You can see a different side of Paris, with its artsy scene and historic windmills, including the famous Moulin Rouge and the last two original 18th-century windmills that are still standing. Your guide can take you to a cozy café where Picasso or Van Gogh once sat or to the best spot to have the best view at the Sacré-Cœur Basilica.
<b>Île de la Cité</b>: Known as the birthplace of Paris and home to three medieval architectural marvels: Notre Dame Cathedral, recently reopened after the fire in 2019; the Conciergerie; and the Sainte-Chapelle.

<h3>Explore Paris off the beaten path </h3>
Discover vibrant neighbourhoods full of hidden gems where Paris shows its true character:
<b>Le Marais</b>: Known for its boutiques and medieval streets, Le Marais is a favourite among locals and travellers alike. Your guide might introduce you to a tucked-away courtyard, a family-run bakery, or a block steeped in history.
<b>Canal Saint-Martin</b>: Often overlooked by tourists, this peaceful area is ideal for a relaxing walk along the water, with plenty of hip cafés and street art along the way. 
<b>Passages Couverts</b>: Immerse yourself in the charm of 19th-century Paris. These historic covered passages are home to antique shops, old bookstores, and cozy tea houses.

<h3>Why choose a private tour of Paris? </h3>
If you are looking for a personalized experience shaped around your interests, a Paris private tour is the perfect choice. Your local guide will create a tour just for you, whether you love art, history, fashion, or food.

Why wait in long lines or stick to a generic route when you can explore Paris at your own pace? With a private tour, you'll have the freedom to linger where you love and move on when you’re ready.

<h3>Practical tips for your Paris tour </h3>
Make the most of your experience with these practical travel tips:

<b>Timing is Key</b>: Early mornings or late afternoons are generally less crowded times at popular sites like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. Your local guide can help you plan an itinerary that minimizes wait times and maximizes your experience.
<b>Dress Comfortably</b>: Paris is full of cobbled streets and parks, so comfortable shoes are essential if you are exploring the city by foot. It’s also smart to layer up, as Parisian weather can be unpredictable.
<b>Mind Local Etiquette</b>: Paris is a city that appreciates politeness. Learning a few basic French phrases, like “bonjour” (hello) and “merci” (thank you), can go a long way.
<b>Best neighbourhoods</b>: Paris’ neighbourhoods (or “arrondissements”) each have their own vibe—from busy tourist spots to quiet streets and local markets. Plan ahead based on what interests you and ask your guide for help to craft the perfect itinerary for your trip.

<h3>Embrace the magic of Paris with a local guide by your side </h3>
A private tour lets you focus on what matters most to you. Love food? Dive into Paris' culinary scene with stops at markets, bakeries, and maybe a hidden wine bar. An art enthusiast? Your guide can highlight the famous galleries in <a href="https://www.toursbylocals.com/tours/france?utm_source=internallinks&utm_medium=marketingblock&utm_campaign=parislandingpage"target="_blank">France</a>, operas, and street art scattered throughout the city, going beyond the usual hotspots.

It’s not just about what you see—it’s about the stories, histories, and meaningful moments you’ll experience. Your private, customizable tour invites you to see Paris as it was meant to be experienced: with curiosity and wonder. Embrace the journey and discover the City of Light in a way that’s as unique as you are.
