Ride through Paris after dark in a private Citroën 2CV with a local driver-guide. You’ll pass the Champs-Élysées, Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Notre Dame, and Montmartre, with time for photos and route changes based on your interests.
“the whole - as French as it can be.. guide who asked what we wanted. we had seen all the big “must sees” in advance so we were shown places tourists don’t normally see. and with explanations of buildings, places and how Parisians live - 5 stars for the guide who drove his own 2CV with Portuguese license plates”
Walk from Pont Neuf to Hôtel de Ville with a guide such as Sophia, Daniel, Thelma, or Sylvia, hearing tales of executions, plagues, massacres, and royal intrigue. Expect about two hours, roughly 10,000 steps, and more dark history than supernatural scares.
“This tour did not fulfil the description it was given. Mainly historical facts, some of which were on the gory side but no ghost stories. Bit of a mystery how a luxury goods store, hotel and a theatre were included on the tour. And the rebuilding of Notre Dame I didn’t fall into the legends category. On the whole it was informative but lacked any kind of spooky entertainment .”
Ride an open-top Big Bus around Paris for about two hours after dark. From the Champs-Élysées, you pass the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Moulin Rouge, Notre-Dame, Palais Garnier, and Seine, with prerecorded commentary in eight languages, free Wi-Fi, and a timed view of the Eiffel Tower’s sparkling lights.
“Great way to see some lights and highlights of Paris. Manage your expectations, this is a very general tour experience, but great if your looking for photo opportunities. Driving past the Arc was the best view by far.”
Ride through illuminated Paris past the Eiffel Tower, Champs-Elysées, Arc de Triomphe, and Montmartre, then watch Moulin Rouge’s Feerie revue with Champagne. The city tour uses an audio app, and the optional Seine cruise is taken on another day, not after the show.
“Illuminations Tour was awful! The tour Guide was rude & very uninformative. We didn't know we have to download something to follow the tour. The tour Guide could have pointed out sites but did not do so. He at times would say something about jumping a few numbers ahead to listen & see the next site. We were supposed to see all these sites from the tour bus and we did not see 1/2 of them. It was very confusing to try & figure out what to listen to as we were approaching it. I surveyed other guests on bus & they thought it was a horrible tour. The Moulin…”

“This was the best experience of our trip to Paris! Nico our driver was so informative and so fun. He gave us so many recs for the areas we went through and the history of every place we saw. We loved it and are so so happy we found this tour! We also stopped at some of the major monuments in viewpoints we would not have known about otherwise!”

“Our guide went above and beyond our plane was late then or welcome pick up was late and lost his car in the parking garage then an accident in front of us so we arrived at our hotel just as he was about to leave and he stayed and gave us an amazing experience with him and Paris. It was a grand adventure to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary.”

“Ballade de nuit dans Paris en autocar dont la finalité est de déposer des clients devant le Moulin Rouge... L énoncé du descriptif de vente n est pas à l image de l heure et demie passée dans le car avec quelques commentaires audio sur les quelques monuments aperçus. Rien sur le Moulin Rouge... Bref, décevant. Touristes passés votre chemin...”

“We weren't able to take the tour. We left our hotel with plenty of time to be almost an hour early, but metro station closures made our stop impossible. It was Bastille Day, and admittedly we didn't have a clue. We went to the next stop and tried to walk to the tour site, but the area around the Eiffel Tower was completely barricaded (police and military) and we could find no way across to where our tour was to originate. The tour contact admitted that "Its a mess here as well." We asked for a reschedule, and at 9:42am the next day, I was offered a noon tour (which…”
