On this 3-hour walking tour, you'll get a deeper look at the historic 7th arrondissement, Paris' noblest district. Marvel at ‘The Thinker’ and other famous sculptures in the gardens of the Musée Rodin, stop to enjoy some fine cheese and pastries and see where Napoleon is buried at Les Invalides. Views of the Eiffel Tower from the Champ de Mars won’t disappoint, either. Your group size is limited to eight to ensure a personalized experience.

We enjoyed spending the morning with Solene. She took us to the hidden gems of the quarter. We saw artisans working in their shops, hidden passages and we learnt about how Paris is encouraging old professions to persevere and survive. The viaduc and the promenade was awesome so was the canal ST.Martin The Aligre market was lively and it did not hurt to have the tastings along the way. Highly recommended

This tour was perfect for our family. We wanted to go to Normandy but were not confident figuring out all of the trains to/from Paris so finding one that left from Paris was just what we needed. The weather was touch and go leading up to our scheduled tour date but Josef was in constant communication with us on what to maybe expect, if some things might be closed, what possible back up plans could be... thankfully we said lets just do and we are so glad we did! Josef was great, super knowledgeable and informative. It ended up being such a perfect day!

I can't recommend My Private Paris enough. What a fantastic experience! I recently went on a tour of Montmartre with Marie (one of the founders) and Raphaelle, who are brilliant guides - friendly, kind, funny and an endless source of knowledge! I learnt so much about Montmartre, its history, culture and famous figures, with amazing local info and tips too (Raphaelle lives there). Marie and Raphaelle were incredibly engaging and they packed so much in (including some delicious sweet treats from bakeries en route!), going above and beyond while still ensuring it was comfortable, fun and personal. I feel like a local now! It was such a privilege to have a tour from people who clearly just love what they do and thrive off doing it - truly an unforgettable experience. I will 100% book more tours with them when I next return to Paris - this is by far the best way to get to know the city. Merci My Private Paris et a bientôt !

The tour was very interesting, lots of useful information about Paris and Montmartre history, fun facts and myth debunking about the romantic idea of how artists used to live in Montmartre. Definitely worth taking the tour, I can't see how I would be able to get all the information and connect all the dots otherwise. The tour gives a good basis to go back and explore interesting places in more details.
