We saw many sights at night which was terrific. Where many reviews talked about how knowledgeable their driver was, Hasan our driver had little knowledge of the historical provenance of some of the structures, e.g. he was unaware that the Louvre was at one time the royal palace. Though Notre Dame was on the schedule, we did not stop there.

Dincer (Dean) gave us an amazing tour of Paris at night. His knowledge and passion for Paris and France overall was excellent. He took us on a small walking tour of Montmartre and got us into Sacre Coeur. Truly a special experience. He took some great photos of us at the Eiffel Tower and made sure we were there for the hourly twinkling lights. I highly recommend taking this tour, ask for Dean, you won’t be disappointed.
Yvette_H, Mar 2026
Dean gave us the most beautiful and memorable evening tour of Paris. His knowledge and passion for the City of Lights was evident and inspiring. He graciously photographed us at historic landmarks and gave us insightful information at each tour location. I throughly recommend booking his night time tour of Paris! It was one of the highlights of our trip!

I booked the tour for our last night in Paris and it was the perfect way to end our trip Sammy was our guide and driver. He was excellent very friendly took us to all the great places to see at night.
Donnie_D, Nov 2025
We were able to see the highlights of Paris at night, in spite of the traffic. Great experience.to see Paris.
Tammy_G, Oct 2025
Softener was an amazing tour guide and was so knowledgeable about Paris. We got to see all the best sights and he thought of everything. We recommended to friends, it was that good.
Trish_G, Sep 2025
Book a different tour or just hire a taxi. Driver was nice enough but didn’t have a set itinerary and missed some sites. Four of us plus the driver were crammed into a small car. He just drove by places, but not all of us could see. We were very disappointed. We have taken many exceptional Viator tours in many different countries but this tour was not up to the exceptional Viator standards. A very high price for not much in return.

We had such a lovely experience. Our driver customized the itinerary based on our interests and where we wanted to spend time, but also made time to point out really quaint and unique items along the way, especially street art which we loved.
Deanna_M, Jul 2025
Wonderful tour! We were exhausted flying in from the US so we thought a night tour of Paris where someone else drove would be the perfect activity, and it was! He was so kind and took us to all the amazing sites, timing the Eiffel Tower perfectly so we could see it sparkle. He helped with my dad who is in a wheelchair and always tried to get him a view without having to get him out of the car. I highly recommend this tour.
Bernadette_B, Jul 2025
A great overview of Paris by dusk. Highly recommend. Traffic was horrendous and at a stand still for a while but we accomplished our sightseeing in time to enjoy a late dinner. Saw some hidden gems of Paris that are best viewed after the crowds thin out. Well done and we enjoyed our private tour!!
Giovan_H, Jun 2025
We went on a night tour with a driver named Ramen. He was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and a complete person to talk to. He went the whole way for us and made the experience wonderful. We enjoyed our time and recommend this activity completely.
MariaC_R, Jun 2025
This tour exceeded our expectations. Our driver was right on time, extremely courteous, polite and was committed to making our night memorable. He took photos of us and was very knowledgeable regarding the history of France and the monuments he was showing us. He even answered questions we had about the Notre Dame cathedral and other questions unrelated to the tour. Thank you, Hamza Gaceb for making our first night in Paris one that we will never forget.
Tracy_C, Jun 2025
Excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and informative. Dincer (Dean) maneuvers through Paris traffic masterfully. We highly recommend.
John_M, May 2025
Our driver actually just took us wherever we wanted which was nice.
This is more of a car service for the night v. guided tour which was explained on the messaging. Our guide was very helpful and polite! Unfortunately though it is advertised as a night tour but it is not. Starts at 5pm ends at 8pm, nothing at night and mostly stuck in traffic for more than half the tour. Again, driver was great but, would not recommend doing this and for this price overall disappointed.
Dale_T, May 2025
Great tour our guide went out of his way to make the tour very enjoyable and I would recommend him to my friend with no effort
Thomas_R, Apr 2025
Great driver. Hit all the top sites with time to take photos. Went out of his way to get us up close to all the landmarks.
Diana_P, Apr 2025
Exceptional. Dincer Cimen was outstanding. He knows and loves his city of Paris. He was Friendly and share it with us with excitement. I could not have ask for anything more.
Kristen_B, Feb 2025
Great way to see the main sites in Paris and get iconic photos! Touring at night and in the off season means less of a crowd. My guide had great recommendations and was flexible on how much time we spent at each site.
Nola_W, Oct 2024
Excellent tour and our guide Osman was very knowledgeable and insightful about each area of Paris we visited. Well worth the money and we saw lots of Paris during this tour. I highly recommend!
Laurie_T, Sep 2024
We took this tour on our last night in Paris with (Dincer; goes by Dean) and had an absolutely amazing time.
Dean was so friendly, courteous, had an amazing sense of humor, asked us up front what we had seen and what we were interested in seeing. He was familiar with the history of the area, was a great conversationalist, and acted as our photographer (and the pics are great)! He absolutely made this tour worth taking!!
He took us around Montmartre neighborhood in the 18th District. We loved the views, quaint shops, delicious food, and the atmosphere. We also got to tour the Basilica du Sacre-Coeur - what a gift!
From there we drove down to Moulin Rouge so we could take a few pictures outside. All the people and bright lights only made us wish we had purchased tickets to a show!!!
Then we went to take some night pictures outside the Louvre! We had been there earlier in the day but seeing the pyramid lit up at night was beautiful.
We quickly stopped at Notre Dame. It’s under construction so hopefully we will get the opportunity to visit next time.
We drove up the Champs-Élysées to view the Arc de Triomphe. Seeing the arch from far away all lit up with the lights from the cars down the long roadway showed us another perspective of this historical monument. Another must see on your visit to Paris.
The tour was nearing the end and Dean had what he said was an amazing view of the Eiffel Tower. We had seen it multiple times but he assured us we hadn’t seen “this view”. Wow, he wasn’t lying - it was spectacular!! There was live music and a great atmosphere. He had it timed perfectly where the sparkling lights of the Tower came on just 5 minutes after we arrived!!
While we do kind of wish we would have started the trip with this tour so we had more time to go to the various places we visited, this was a great way to end our girls trip!!
Forrest_M, Jun 2023
Great experience and appreciated our guide Afid. We saw the louvre, moulin rouge, the lit Eiffel and so many more. Would recommend as a quick guide around major sites.
Malia_S, Jun 2023
Afid was great. Our family enjoyed the info shared and we were able to enjoy all the iconic sites and more. We would recommend this city tour if you have a short time in Paris. Be sure to book time for low traffic hours for night tour.
Dinesh_C, Mar 2023
No show. It seems they send an email if they have a driver assigned. They did not get a driver and they never communicated and we were charged. Now we are asked to work with viator to get a refund. Really bad experience.

Fabulous tour of Paris by car at night. Hamza was fabulous! He was very knowledgeable and took us everywhere to see the beautiful city of Paris at night! He was a good driver and the car was comfortable for getting great night photos! Thank you for making our experience in Paris extra special, Hamza!!!
Lindsay_H, Nov 2022
Worst tour we have ever experienced. The tour guide barely spoke English. Did not explain anything? We asked questions and his answers were “I don’t understand what you ask” he just drove by and pointed to places and said this is the Ópera. This is the Moulin Rouge. No history, no information, nothing. We asked him to take us back to our hotel 2 hours early to not waste our entire evening in Paris.

It was an intimate experience just being with your closest friends there was only 7 of us and our driver let us take our own pace not hurrying on any stop
Barbara_C, Oct 2022
This was a fabulous experience. Hamza was so knowledgeable, and drove carefully to all the sites. He would slow down or stop when possible, to ensure that we received the best photo ops. It was a beautiful evening, and a delightful tour. It was made even better by having Hamza as our tour guide and driver. We highly recommend!
