Itinerary
Meet your private guide at either your hotel in central Paris or at the Petit Palais, and climb into the waiting vintage Citroën 2CV car. Ease out into the city, taking in the sights from the passenger seat as your private guide offers informative commentary about the city.
Look forward to exploring lesser-known sights as well as more popular Paris attractions. Drive around the stylish Marais neighborhood, and then head across the Seine to the bohemian Latin Quarter, where you can see the Panthéon, Saint-Sulpice Church, and more.
Continue to additional highlights such as the Luxembourg Gardens, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, and the Pont des Arts. Along the way, your guide points out sights that don't appear in typical guidebooks.
After time on the road, return to your original start point.
Please note: Citroen 2CVs are smaller than modern cars, so for the comfort of all travelers these tours are limited to three people per car (not including the driver). If your group is larger than three, that's no problem—this tour can be booked for groups as large as nine people, with each trio having its own car and driver and all cars traveling together in a convoy.

Do it in the early morning to avoid traffic.
Overall great experience, especially the stop along the Seine river.

The tour was good, our driver Robert was very nice and spoke good English! The old Citroen cars can go places buses and taxis can not.

Excellent tour and driver but stay away from Viator! They are terrible with documentation! The tour provider made this work and picked us up at the hotel. Driver, Robert, was awesome!
Camilla_L, Jun 2019
Our driver, Robert, was a lot of fun and knew the Parisian neighborhoods well. The 1974 Citroen car is a head-turner; people took pictures, smiled and pointed at it. We felt like celebrities!

If you have ever seen the short movie "Rendezvous in paris" this was it but in a 2CV. It helped that it was New Years Day and the roads of Paris were empty but WOW what a journey. Definitely saw part of Paris you wouldn't see on any other type of tour (specially as the others are generally on a Double Decker Bus). Some of the passage ways were so narrow and then the blast along the River Bank was definitely a moment to remember. My only small concerns would be view out of the car with the roof closed and being able to hear (& understand) our tour guide.

This was amazing and a wonderful way to see Paris and learn lots of new facts. Our guide was very informative and great fun. I could not recommend this trip more .... fantastic way to spend the morning.
kathleen n, Oct 2017
Very disappointed! Our guide was hard to understand, as he had a heavy accent and he did not understand our questions at all. He was enthusiastic and LOVED driving the car, but he took us to the same secret places that we already knew about. At the end he had us fill out an evaluation form and of course, with him watching us fill it ou,t we gave him all excellent. He was a nice guy, but we rarely got out of the car and asking him where we were so we could return later, was impossible. As he did not really know what we were asking. He knew his script but actual communication was not there. Expensive and we left thinking we gained nothing

We had an amazing time and Our guide, Kevin, was really great and very informative ! We saw a lot of parts of Paris that we had never seen before and what a unique way to view it through the roof of a 2CV. A truly Parisien experience!
Dwyane D, Nov 2015
Simply the best tour my two friends and I did in Paris!
Our guide was entertaining, very knowledgable and we really did see sights we would never have found otherwise!
The soft top car was such a fun way to see Paris and everywhere we went people pointed and took pics.
Huge fun and highly recommended.

A fantastic and different way to see Paris. Our tour guide Marion was very knowledgable and took us to hidden sights we would never have found on our own. Our favourite was the view between a row of houses of one of the turrets of Notre-Dame. The 2CV was comfortable and we were able to have the roof down most of the time despite the rainy weather.

Had a wonderful time! Would highly recommend this tour and we will go again the next time we are in Paris!

Best ever we hit all the major places and even went down a tiny rue that no other car could fit into. We saw almost everything in an hour and a half. Our tour guide Kevin was great. The back seat had no seat belts though.
shannon_iler, Apr 2015
We loved this great tour. Our guide was very informative and we enjoyed the back roads of Paris.
Carol Bajorek, Oct 2014
My husband and I did this and loved it. Kevin was the perfect driver/guide. The car was fun and enabled us to see the back streets and alleyways a tour bus could never have managed. My husband has loved walking the streets of Paris but is no longer able to do it. He was dreading just sitting in the hotel while others in our group explored. This was perfect - he saw as much or more than they did - and had bragging rights about the fantastic ride. We have done several tours of Paris but would definitely recommend this one and do it again ourselves - requesting Kevin, of course. It was refreshing to have a guide who we could have a conversation with and learned so much about the past, present and future of Paris, along with the gossip behind the doors we past.
DIANE J, Oct 2014
We loved it. The guide was very knowledgeable, yet good fun. We went down some tiny streets and enjoyed seeing places of interest that we would never have found on our own, or on a regular bus tour.
MICHAEL S. S, Jun 2014
It was great riding around in the 2CV convertible, taking in the sights. Great experience!
Sek Hui B, May 2014
Very knowledgeable driver, Matthieu. Not only talked us through the monuments and architectures, also recommended good places to eat and drink at the end of the trip. Took as to Eiffel as requested even thou it's not part if the trip. Great service! Needless to say, cute car!
Frederic D, Apr 2014
Paul, our driver spoke great English, he was very knowledgeable and took us to certain parts of Paris that we hadn't seen before, which was really nice to do. He asked us where we'd like to be dropped off when the tour was finished. We thought that was a great touch! Thoroughly recommend doing this tour!!! The Citroen 2CV is a querky touch too!
Vicki F, Apr 2014
Thoroughly loved our morning discovering the secret side of Paris and the bonus was doing it in 2CV. Our driver/guide, Vincent, was great and shared quirky anecdotes and personal stories to add to the enjoyment. The time went so quickly which must be a good sign. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Europe. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone considering it.
john s, Feb 2014
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2CV secret tour of Paris for my wife's 40th birthday. We visited districts which we haven't even been to before and we've now been to Paris 6 times. Christophe our guide was very knowledgeable and provided some interesting facts about the parts we were visiting. Great experience.

Great fun and an excellent way to get your bearings. 2CVs are in Paris what minis are in London!
Elizabeth Ann C, Oct 2013
Would not do this again as we spent long periods of time sitting in the traffic, realise now that the space in the back of a 2CV is very tight. Sounded like a good idea but we couldn't have the roof down as the driver thought it would be too cold and I imagine the traffic fumes would have been a problem too!
Rickie_R, Oct 2013
Raphael what an amazing driver. A little confusion on where to meet at the Opera. To have a Parisian show you the sights is truly amazing. Little stories of him growing up about the streets of the neighborhood. Tiny streets with the most amazing shops and the oldest house in Paris. The car was perfect and drew many looks from people. One of the highlights was a hidden garden all set up to celebrate breast cancer month.
Being a thriver of 8 yrs this was extremely special to me and unknown to our driver. Definitely recommend.
Katherine_P, Sep 2013
This tour is unique in the little cars. We had some difficulty with the driver finding us as we were staying in a pedestrian area only. Our guide was very pleasant but really didn't know his Paris very well at all. We just seemed to wizz past sights with not much commentary. The cars and the experience of travelling around Paris is quite special.
Robyn N, Aug 2013
Wow! We had a fantastic time on our 2CV tour of Paris, Antonio our guide was friendly, informative and he took us around and showed us most of the sights we wouldn't have seen on a big bus tour which we did a few days later. I would highly recommend anyone doing one of these tours as a very fun way to see Paris. We had people looking at us as we drove around looking at the sights and my husband was standing up taking photo's. We were able to stop at the Eifel Tower and Notre Dame and Antonio took our photo's with the car.
Albert C, Jul 2013
Our trip around Paris in the Citroen was very nice , even though I feel it was on he expensive side. Our driver was very knowledgeable about the city and professional.
Thaddeus_B, Jun 2013
This tour was the highlight of our 3rd visit to Paris! Tourists were taking photos of us! Thank you Thomas...such fun!
Anne, May 2013
This was one of the most exciting tours we did in Paris - a fantastic ride with a wonderful car. Our driver Martin was such a nice guy and so well informed - he showed us many of the less known sites in Paris. Should you decide to do this and have the choice, do it on a Sunday or a Bank Holiday, which will ensure you get the most out of it.
Elizabeth W, Oct 2012
Terrific tour with Marie in a Vintage 2CV! She was very knowledgeable, spoke wonderful English and was a very good Parisian driver!! We would definitely recommend this tour to others. Since we have been to Paris several times and have seem many of the quintessential Parisian highluights, Marie took us to some lesser known areas of Paris. Marie was always willing to stop and get pictures of us with the 2CV.
This is a great way to do a very different type of tour of Paris. This would be difficult for very big or very tall passengers (over 6'2") since the car is so small and you'll want to get in and out several times.
