Yes, Paris tours are worth it. With an expert guide, you’ll get a much deeper look at whatever interests you most in and around Paris. Hear the stories behind the Louvre’s most famous works, find out where Parisians go for baguettes and croissants, or live a day in Louis XIV’s shoes on a tour of Versailles.
Per one customer who booked the Louvre Museum - Exclusive Guided Tour (Reserved Entry Included), “Ana met us on time and filled any waiting with fascinating details about the Louvre and its history. Her passion for art shone in her presentation. She led us through some of the treasures. We only had three days in Paris, so we knew we wouldn’t be able to spend as much time as the works deserved. Having her there to guide us and give us a historical perspective helped us make the most of our time.”
Group experiences, such as half-day sightseeing tours and guided bike rides, typically range from US$45–US$85. Shared food tours and day trips start at US$120 per person, while private tours are more expensive—expect to pay upwards of US$300 for skip-the-line museum visits, river cruises, and the like.
Some Paris tours are inexpensive, including the Paris Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based), priced at around US$3 per person. The 2-hour tour shows you many of Paris’ highlights, though it doesn’t include gratuities, and you’ll be sharing the guide with up to 50 people. Pricier experiences include the Paris Private Day Tour & Seine Cruise for Kids and Families (from around US$1,200 per group of four), which gets you a private guide to take you around Paris from Le Marais to the Champs-Elysées, with a 1-hour Seine River cruise included.
Paris tours show you the city’s top attractions and historic neighborhoods, from the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, and Arc de Triomphe to the markets of the Marais and cabarets of Montmartre. Guided excursions are another option—you can see the Palace of Versailles or Claude Monet’s home in Giverny in just a few hours.
Paris has a wealth of attractions to explore, so it’s a good idea to book all-day tours that show you as many sights as possible. The Paris Top Sights Half-Day Walking Tour with a Fun Guide, for example, takes you past mainstays such as the Eiffel Tower, Tuileries Garden (Jardin des Tuileries), and Notre Dame Cathedral in addition to lesser-known places in the Latin Quarter, Montmartre, and more.
Four days should give you enough time to dive into Paris’ rich history, revered art scene, and distinctive neighborhoods while making a day trip or two. Dedicate most of your trip to exploring museums like the Louvre and scenic districts such as Montmartre and Champs-Élysées, then head to nearby Versailles or Giverny for a change of scenery.
The best month to visit Paris is September, when temperatures hover in the high 60s and low 70s with minimal rain. You’ll also get to experience the City of Lights after the summer crowds have left—but it’s Paris, so know that there will always be tourists.
