Private Paris Highlights & Pastry Tour – A Journey Through Culture & Flavors

Experience Paris in 3.5 Hours: Landmarks, Pastries, and Local Know-How

This tour is designed to give you the keys to Paris in just 3 hours and 30 minutes. You’ll visit four of the city’s most iconic sites—Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Eiffel Tower—while indulging in three renowned pastry shops along the way.

But this tour is more than just sightseeing—it’s an introduction to Parisian life.

You’ll also learn how to navigate the metro system, giving you the confidence to explore the city at your own pace for the rest of your trip.

The Joy of Unplanned Adventure in Travel

There’s something magical about discovering a place without knowing what comes next. Whether it’s stumbling upon a hidden café, finding a charming boutique, or taking a turn down a picturesque alley, travel should feel like a series of meaningful encounters.

I remember my first time wandering the cobblestone streets of Rome, getting lost in the souks of Marrakech, and feeling positively overwhelmed in the joyful anarchy of the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul. These moments felt like the places had been waiting for me since the dawn of time—as if my journey was part of something bigger. The One Thing I Regret After Traveling Yet: how many times have I returned home wishing I had known more about the places I visited? I’ve looked back at my photos and felt something was missing—the background, the history, the deeper meaning behind what I saw.

That’s why I designed this tour: to give you the context and stories that bring Paris to life. Instead of just seeing them, you’ll experience the landmarks. And once you have this foundation, you’ll be free to create your own insightful wanderings in the days to come. Discover Paris, trully, as if you were with a friend that knows the place.

Discover Paris Effortlessly: The Perfect Blend of History & Pastry

Forget the stress of navigating Paris alone—this private tour makes everything seamless.

From the gothic splendor of Notre-Dame to the grandeur of the Eiffel Tower, your guide will lead you through the city’s highlights with ease.

What You’ll Experience:

  • Four iconic landmarks – Notre-Dame, Louvre, Arc de Triomphe, and Eiffel Tower
  • Three pastry tastings – Experience the best croissants, macarons, and more
  • Mastering the metro – Learn how to navigate Paris like a local
  • Hidden gems & photo stops – Instagram-worthy moments at every turn

A Sweet Taste of Paris: Indulge in Iconic Pastries Paris is as much about flavors as it is about sights.

That’s why we’ve carefully selected three of the best bakeries for authentic pastry tastings along the way.

  • Flaky, buttery Croissants or Cream Puffs (upon availaibility)
  • Decadent specialty desserts
  • Perfectly crisp macarons

Enjoying these delicacies as you explore the city is what makes Paris an experience, not just a destination.
