A Guide in France - Paris Walking

Ah, Paris!
The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre Dame, Versailles, Hunchbacks, Parisians, tourist traps... ah, Paris. How can 71.5 million tourists be wrong?
"71.5 million?" you ask with disbelief.
Yep. Actually it's 71.5 million visitors to France according to the World Tourism Organization, 2004. But you have to assume that most of those are at least going through Paris.


		With all those tourists, 10+ million residents and 2,000 years of history, you'll find yourself quickly overwhelmed by the whirlwind of Paris. The most effective way to get the most out of your visit is to gain your bearings as quickly as possible. This is pretty simple if you have a friend that lives here. If you don't, well... that's where we come in.

Think of the prospects of discovering a place while sitting in a parking lot all day. That's what it's like driving in Paris and why we utilize the metro to get around town on our Paris Walking Tour. Built at the turn of the last century, the Paris metro is efficient, safe, and relatively clean... though we reiterate: we won't be spending a whole lot of time there. We'll get you comfortable with the system so you can navigate it on your own, like a pro.

Let us know what your goals are in Paris, what you want to see or what interests you. You could spend a lifetime in the city of lights and still not discover all it has to offer so we need to focus. Of course, if you simply want to bear witness to the classic Paris, we know just where to go. Come with us.

We pride ourselves on providing a unique experience for every one of our guests. After all, it is one of the reasons you choose a private guide over a public tour bus. With a private guide you get something unheard of on a public tour...flexibility and our undivided attention. You can consider us your friends who live in France, friends who just so happen to have the time and inclination to show you around this great country.

First time in Paris? Then your first step should be to get your bearings around this metropolis of 12 million people. You'll truy enjoy and better understand Paris once you know where you are in relation to the city's sights and how best to get around.

We tour Paris is on foot. Most guests request a preliminary walking tour of Paris. We combine easy walks with short jaunts on Paris' outstanding public transport system. We do not drive within Paris. However, if you prefer a driving tour, we can arrange for a private driver / guide.

A Guide in France does not tour on a standardized itinerary; therefore we often dine casually, on-the-fly. If you have restaurant preferences let us know during the itinerary-building process and we will plan accordingly.

Meals: we usually dine separately from our guests but will join you if asked. Either way, we will always assist you with the menus and ordering.
