All Our Paris Guided Tours
Your Paris Tour Questions, Answered
Are guided tours in Paris worth it?
Absolutely. While Paris is beautiful to explore on your own, a guided tour transforms your visit from sightseeing into storytelling. Our handpicked local guides bring the history, culture, and hidden secrets of landmarks like Notre Dame and Sainte-Chapelle to life, creating a deeper connection and a much more memorable experience.
Are your tours conducted in English?
Yes, all of our scheduled tours are conducted in English by fluent, passionate local guides to ensure a clear, engaging, and enjoyable experience for our international visitors.
What is the difference between your private and small-group tours?
A private tour is reserved exclusively for you and your party, allowing for a highly personalized experience where you set the pace. A small-group tour is a more affordable option where you'll join a limited number of fellow travelers, creating a friendly and interactive atmosphere that's still much more personal than a standard, large bus tour.
Is entry to Notre Dame Cathedral included?
Our guided tour focuses on the magnificent exterior of Notre Dame, where our guides bring the rich history and architectural details of the facade to life. Now that the cathedral has reopened, we offer an exciting bonus for early bookings: for tours booked at least 4 days in advance, we will do our best to secure a complimentary timed-entry ticket for you to visit the interior on your own after our tour.
Please note: These tickets are subject to the cathedral's official availability and are not guaranteed, but booking early gives you the best possible chance to receive one!
How does the Sainte-Chapelle visit work?
For tours that include Sainte-Chapelle, your guide provides a full, captivating explanation of its history and the stories in its famous stained-glass windows. They will then provide you with your pre-booked, skip-the-line ticket and escort you to the entrance for a self-guided visit, allowing you to marvel at its beauty at your own pace.
What is the cancellation policy for your Paris tours?
For our Scenic Zest original tours in Paris, we offer a full refund for cancellations made more than 24 hours in advance. Unfortunately, we cannot provide refunds for cancellations made within 24 hours of the tour start time or for no-shows.
