Are guided Paris Christmas tours worth it?

Yes, a guided Paris Christmas tour is definitely worth it. Many people visit the French capital in December to enjoy the festive light displays and markets, so make the most of the season by going with a guide who can point out the best bits. Dress up warm for an outdoor walking tour between beautiful illuminations and city markets, or sit back and enjoy the twinkling city views from a heated boat or bus.

Per one customer who booked the Paris Christmas Illuminations and Local Festivities Private Tour, "This was an excellent tour that surpassed our expectations! Our guide, Milan, met us at our hotel with a bottle of champagne before we started off. We began at Galeries Lafayette and ended with a ferris wheel ride at a Christmas fair and carnival near the Louvre. And everything in-between! Paris was all lit up even more than usual because it was Christmas. Milan took us to all the highlights as well as off the beaten paths."

What should I know before booking Paris Christmas tours?

Before booking a Paris Christmas tour, find out whether it takes place during the day or after dark (which is from around 5pm in December). The city’s Christmas lights and illuminations look best at night, but you can still enjoy activities such as cruises or shopping tours during the day. If you prefer to explore a city at your own pace, consider a private or small-group Christmas tour that can be tailored to your needs. Larger-group tours may be more economical, but you generally have to follow the crowd.

What are the best tips for enjoying Paris Christmas tours?

Dress warmly for a Paris Christmas tour, whether it’s a walking tour, a Seine River cruise, or a bus tour that requires getting on and off at points of interest. December is typically cold in Paris, and it gets dark early in the evening, so wear a warm coat, hat, and gloves. If you’re joining a market or food-focused tour, bring a reusable shopping bag for your purchases or to store any food samples you can’t finish at the time.
