Private Tours in Paris

Looking to experience Paris without the crowds, in a way that feels personal and relaxed? Private tours are the way to go. They let you focus on what truly interests you, whether that’s wandering the hidden passages in Le Marais, tasting the small-batch chocolates of Saint-Germain, or hearing the stories behind the old stones of Montmartre. And because these tours are tailored just for you, there’s no rushing through spots or fighting for space like on big group tours.

I’ve always loved booking a private guide during quieter months like November or early spring, when the city feels a little more intimate. Once, my guide took me to a rooftop terrace with views of Sacré-Cœur that almost no one knows about , you won’t find that on any standard itinerary! Also, many guides can tweak the route if you mention a favorite artist or particular foodie craving in advance.

TIP: If you’re keen on food, check if your guide can include a stop at a boulangerie or fromagerie in a neighborhood like Canal Saint-Martin. Those small, family-run shops often don’t show up in guidebooks but offer some of the best local flavors in Paris. It’s a quieter, deeper way to see the city.
