# Private Half-Day Guided Tour of Paris

**Guidekin's take:** See Paris monuments and less familiar sights by road on a private tour for your party, with commentary on daily life in the city. An air-conditioned vehicle is included, and the price is per group rather than per traveler. 4.69 from 68 reviews at €290 per group/vehicle for 3h–5h.

In our comparison: #147 of 168 in Private Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

This tour is perfect for people discovering Paris and have a short time to do it. It's been now 10 years that I do my tour and have guided thousands of guests! 

Being born and raised in Paris I know how to drive in the crazy traffic and show you all the most iconic monuments, but also some more confidential that will make you look like a Paris expert.

My goal is to show you Paris in a few hours, but also talk about my Paris, your home and share about our cultures and daily lives! It's a lot of fun and interesting conversations.

See you soon on board.
