Paris, its monuments and museums by private car
Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Champs-Élysées, Montmartre, Île de la Cité: Paris in four hours from a tinted-window Mercedes, with photo stops wherever you please — and never once looking for a taxi or a metro station.
Paris is best on foot, they say. True for one neighbourhood; false for a first overview. Our tour links in half a day what the metro fragments: the Eiffel Tower and Trocadéro, the Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Élysées, Concorde, the Opéra Garnier, the Louvre, Île de la Cité and Notre-Dame, the Latin Quarter, then Montmartre and its panorama from Sacré-Cœur.
The driver stops for every photo, drops you at the foot of whatever you want to see up close, and collects you on the far side — you walk through the sites, never back on your steps. For museums, he leaves you at the Louvre or Orsay entrance, waits through your visit, and the day carries on.
Two favourite variants: Paris by night, when the Tower sparkles and the bridges light up — the city literally changes face —, and the family tour, shorter, paced for children, with suitable seats provided.

Your questions
Are museum tickets included?
No — and one tip worth every ticket: book the Louvre and Orsay online with a timed slot. Your driver drops you at the entrance at your exact slot, and the queue disappears.
Does the driver provide commentary?
He gladly shares stories and bearings on the road — our drivers are Parisians and love their city. For formal guided visits, in museums especially, we recommend a licensed guide, whom we can add to the day.
Can we go up the Eiffel Tower during the tour?
Yes: book your slot in advance (the ascent takes 1.5 to 2 hours) and the driver waits or reshuffles the programme meanwhile. Without a ticket, the forecourt and Trocadéro already give you the essential.
Do you offer Paris by night?
Perhaps the finest version: departure around 9 pm, the Tower sparkling on the hour, bridges lit, the Louvre deserted. Two hours suffice; the wonder is guaranteed.
Does the tour suit children or reduced mobility?
Particularly well: you see a great deal without long walks, stops are made as close to the sites as allowed, and child seats or boarding assistance come at no extra charge.
