 Paris Walking Tours Special First-Timers

First time in Paris? Our Paris essentials tours are neighborhood tours specially designed for first-timers. They are the best way to discover the historical heart of Paris and understand the city of light from its early Celtic and Roman origins to its amazing 19th-century mutation.

The historical heart of Paris is mainly composed of the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th districts (arrondissement) of Paris.

The 5th and 6th districts are located on the south bank of the Seine and correspond to the main zone of the ancient Roman city of Lutecia. It where stand Quartier Latin, La Sorbonne and Jardin du Luxembourg.

The 1st and 4th districts correspond to the area of Ile de la Cité (where Notre-Dame cathedral and the Sainte-Chapelle stand) and the most central part of the north bank of the Seine River, with Hôtel de Ville (city hall), Châtelet, and the Louvre Palais Royal Area.

 Paris Walking Tours Special First Timer with Louvre Tour Included

With these tours, you can discover the historical heart of Paris and the Louvre Museum on the same day. These “full-day” tours (+/-7 hours duration) are reserved for those who are really tour fans and are not afraid to walk all day long.

There are two versions of the tour. The first one shows you first the quartier Latin and Île de la Cité area, then is a normal (daytime) Louvre Tour and then the walking starts again to the Tuileries Garden, place Vendôme and place de la Concorde area.

The second version of the tour presents Quartier Latin, Île de la Cité and le Marais, ending with a Louvre Evening Tour. The interest of this formula is that in the evening, the Louvre is usually less crowded than in the daytime.
