Itinerary
Enjoy an exclusive, tailor‑made day in the City of Light with this VIP Full‑Day Paris City Tour, combining a private chauffeur‑guide, luxury vehicle, and a scenic Seine River cruise.
Your day begins with a personalized pickup at your chosen address: hotel, apartment, or private jet terminal. During a short welcome briefing, your chauffeur‑guide helps you define the priorities of the day: more time for photo stops, shopping, gastronomy, art, or simply soaking up the Parisian atmosphere.
You start with Historic Paris along the Seine and Île de la Cité. From the comfort of your vehicle, you follow the riverbanks to admire Notre‑Dame de Paris, the Conciergerie, and the elegant façades of the old city. A discreet drop‑off on the island allows you to stroll through the narrow historic streets, enjoy a famous Berthillon ice cream, and step inside the charming Saint‑Louis‑en‑l’Île church. Time can be planned for entering Notre‑Dame, and we can arrange advance reservations for the free entrance, subject to availability a few days before your tour.
Around mid‑morning, you continue towards the Latin Quarter and Saint‑Germain‑des‑Prés. See the Panthéon (photo stop) and, if you wish, enjoy a peaceful walk in the Jardin du Luxembourg or nearby side streets. Crossing the river brings you into Saint‑Germain, with its art galleries and legendary literary cafés. Here, your chauffeur‑guide can organize a VIP café‑terrace moment, with a selection of excellent pâtisserie or chocolate shops nearby.
Your route then leads to Royal Paris: the Louvre and Tuileries. Driving into the Louvre courtyards, you have direct access for photos with the glass pyramid before a walk through the Tuileries Garden towards Place de la Concorde, with views of the Champs‑Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe. A full museum visit can be organized separately or as an additional private guided option on another day.
Approaching midday, you enjoy a panoramic drive along the Champs‑Élysées, passing by the Grand Palais and Petit Palais and the flagship boutiques that make this avenue so famous. A stop near the Arc de Triomphe offers a superb photo opportunity from a carefully chosen spot away from the largest crowds, and those who wish can climb to the top for a wide‑angle view over Paris.
For lunch, several refined options are available, depending on your tastes:
- A chic bistro or brasserie in a central district
- A gastronomic restaurant with creative French cuisine
- Lunch at the Eiffel Tower, at Madame Brasserie or at the one‑MICHELIN‑starred Le Jules Verne, combining exceptional cuisine with breathtaking views (advance booking essential)
- A lunch cruise on the Seine, for those who prefer to dine on the water while continuing to admire the monuments
In the afternoon, you head to the Eiffel Tower area. A drop‑off at Trocadéro or the Champ de Mars gives you some of the most iconic photo angles in the city. Your guide shares stories about the tower’s construction, its role in World Fairs, and today’s special experiences (such as Champagne at the top or dinner on another evening), which can be organized on request.
Next comes your Seine River cruise. A 1‑hour commented cruise allows you to rest and enjoy the skyline of Paris from the water, with privileged views of Notre‑Dame, the Musée d’Orsay, the Louvre, the Hôtel de Ville, and the city’s most beautiful bridges. Your chauffeur‑guide manages the boarding and waiting times so your experience is smooth and effortless.
Later in the day, you reach Montmartre and Sacré‑Cœur. Thanks to a dedicated drop‑off close to the summit, you avoid steep climbs and long walks. From there, you explore the Basilica of Sacré‑Cœur with its spectacular panorama over Paris, then wander through Place du Tertre and the quieter, village‑like streets filled with ateliers, small cafés, and hidden corners.
On the way back, depending on time and your interests, the tour can include the Opéra Garnier area, the great department stores of the Grands Boulevards, and a loop around Place Vendôme and Rue de la Paix, the heart of haute couture and high jewelry. If you wish, a short luxury shopping stop can be arranged, with your chauffeur managing the waiting time.
If there is daylight left or you prefer a different ambiance, you can opt for a last stop in the Marais district for a walk around Place des Vosges, or choose to return near the Eiffel Tower area as the lights begin to sparkle, depending on the season and sunset.
Your day ends with a private drop‑off at your hotel, private residence, or a specially selected restaurant for dinner. Your chauffeur‑guide can recommend addresses that match your style, whether gastronomic, trendy, or classic Parisian.Includes
