Important information
Will we be visiting the Musée d’Orsay?
The guided tour will end outside the Orsay Museum. If you have purchased the Musée d’Orsay upgrade, you will be able to continue inside for a self-guided visit.
How much walking is there?
This tour covers about a mile at a leisurely pace. If mobility is an issue, please arrange for a private tour.
What is the rescheduling policy?
We understand plans change. We offer a 100% refund or the option to reschedule up to 24 hours prior to your tour start time. Within 24 hours of your tour, we would have incurred hard costs and therefore cannot allow rescheduling or cancellation without costs.
When should I get there?
Plan to show up 15 minutes early. The tour starts promptly, and you may not be able to catch up if you arrive late.
What if it rains?
Our tours run rain or shine. If there’s extreme weather and we have to cancel, you’ll get a full refund.
Are gratuities included?
Tips aren’t included but are always appreciated by our guides. If you think your guide did an outstanding job, a tip is a great way to show that.
Highlights
More information
Enjoy an immersive, local-led guided tour with ExperienceFirst through the heart of Paris along the banks of the Seine river. Our first stop is the iconic Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in Paris, but you’ll also see the Square du Vert Galant (a hidden garden at the western tip of Île de la Cité), the Pont des Arts, the Pont du Carrousel with its view of the famous Louvre Pyramid awaits, the 17th-century Pont Royal, and more.
Along the way, you’ll learn about the places and stories that have shaped Paris into what it is today. One iconic example is the Musée d’Orsay, a former railway station built for the 1900 World Fair, now housing a vast collection of Impressionist masterpieces like Monet, Manet, and Renoir. Add on the optional Orsay Museum entry to see the incredible art within this cultural treasure.
Another optional upgrade, a Seine river cruise is the perfect way to finish your tour. After seeing so many historic bridges and walking along the river, you can float down it as you admire the many sights from the water. Your ticket is good for a year, so take your cruise the same day or come back later.
