What to Expect in the Tour? How it is organized?

The principle of the Paris essential 2-hour tour is very simple. Starting at the very beginning (the ancient Rome Paris once called Lutetia) at Cluny, to give you a maximum of knowledge and insights of the historical heart of Paris in a limited time.

The first part of the tour is very centered on île de la cité (where is Notre-Dame) ending point of the tour depends on the rhythm of visit you want. Tour may normally end somewhere around Louvre or Palais Royal.

We also propose an extended 3-hour version of the tour for an even more comprehensive overview of the heart of Paris.
