The Great Paris Layover: Private Tour
The Great Paris Layover Tour is ideal for your first—or only—day in the city. It offers a rich overview that sets the tone for your stay. It is perfect for travelers passing through between two cities or anyone short on time but eager to experience the magic of Paris in just one day.
This tour involves moderate walking (approximately 3–5 km), making it great for active couples and small groups. By the end, you’ll feel confident navigating the Metro like a local, ready to explore further on your own.
I’ll leave you in the charming Latin Quarter, where you can grab a quick sandwich or linger over a café while soaking in the Parisian atmosphere.
The tour is fully customizable—we’ll shape it around your interests and pace. Along the way, we’ll sample some local bites, so be sure to have a few euros or a debit card on hand for treats and souvenirs.

Additional Information
There are a few logistics we need to get out of the way to ensure the best experience for you. First off we need to determine your timetable. Also, we need to know if you have luggage or if we need to check it into a locker at the airport. Please be advised that the airport is approximately 1 hour from the city. You will be required to purchase the RER tickets round trip for the airport, I will assist you when you arrive. We utilize public transport (RER & METRO) But if you have 4 people in your party the Taxi is the same cost as public transit and more comfortable. A private car is available as an upgrade. We will determine how much time ahead of the flight do you wish to be back before confirming the schedule. Please provide pick-up times and details such as airlines and flight numbers, this enables tracking for flight delays. Do you have anything that you must see? Other than the Eiffel Tower of course! Generally, we purchase some famous french baguette sandwiches to take back to the airport for maximizing your sightseeing time. If time isn't a concern, we can certainly stop at a cafe en route or at the end of the tour. We will end at the Fountaine du Saint Michel which is where the RER (train) will take you directly back to the airport. Your Uber app works as well. We will make sure you have tickets and board the correct train, you will travel to CDG on your own. The RER ends at the airport, so you can't get lost. Yes, it is a lot of information, but this will ensure the best tour possible for you. Looking forward to hearing back from you! A bientôt!
