3.Paris Private Walking Tour with a Personal Photographer

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 262 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $151

Spend two private hours walking central Paris with a bilingual photographer such as David, Michel, Sam, or Ari. Choose your time, location, and mood, then receive 130 to 150 high-quality images by email. The experience suits couples, families, and groups of up to eight, though photography takes priority over formal sightseeing.

“Michel took us to the Royal Palace Gardens, the Louvre, and the Eiffel Tower. He knew exactly what poses to direct us to, and even made sure a lot of people were not in the background of our photos even though it was 4:30 in the afternoon. He was very prompt in getting our pictures back to us, giving us around 200 to work with. I definitely recommend this experience as we have gotten so many compliments on our photos so far!”
