Paris Tours & Tickets: Plan Your Perfect Trip
Paris is a bucket-list city — and there are countless ways to experience it. Climb the great landmarks, explore the world’s finest museums, wander the historic quarters, cruise the Seine, feast on French food and wine, or escape on a day trip to a palace, a battlefield or another country. Below you’ll find featured tours across the most popular experiences, plus links to every category. Wherever you start, one tip applies almost everywhere: the famous sights get crowded, so booking ahead and using skip-the-line access makes the biggest difference to your day.
The Famous Landmarks
For a first visit, Paris’s great sights are close to essential. Go up the Eiffel Tower for the view that defines the city, and explore the Louvre, the world’s largest museum, where a guided highlights tour pays off. The Musée d’Orsay holds the finest Impressionist art, while on the Île de la Cité the restored Notre-Dame and the stained-glass Sainte-Chapelle sit side by side, with the haunting Catacombs beneath the streets and the Arc de Triomphe crowning the Champs-Élysées.

Grand Days & the Seine
Grandest of the day sights, the Palace of Versailles just outside the city is a full day of opulent halls and formal gardens. And no trip is complete without a Seine river cruise, which glides past the great landmarks from the water and is especially magical after dark on an evening tour.

Explore the Neighbourhoods, Your Way
Paris rewards wandering. Climb to Montmartre and Sacré-Cœur, explore the medieval streets of Le Marais, or cross to the intellectual Left Bank and Latin Quarter. However you like to travel, there’s a way to suit you: a private tour with your own guide, a sociable small group tour, or a VIP or luxury tour with exclusive access. On foot, take a walking tour; to cover more ground, a bike or effortless e-bike tour, or a fun Segway tour. Travelling with children? A family tour keeps the city engaging for all ages.
Food, Wine & French Gastronomy
Paris is one of the world’s great culinary cities. Taste your way through a neighbourhood on a food tour, learn the classic pairing at a wine and cheese tasting, or explore the lively food markets. To get hands-on, join a cooking class or a pastry and baking class — or blend your own fragrance at a perfume workshop.

Day Trips from Paris
When you’re ready to leave the city, the surrounding region offers some of the most memorable experiences of a trip. Art and garden lovers should head to Giverny and Monet’s gardens; history lovers to the fairytale châteaux of the Loire Valley, the moving Normandy D-Day beaches, or the First and Second World War battlefields. Wine lovers can tour the cellars of the Champagne region; those wanting another country can reach Belgium by fast train; and families love Disneyland Paris, a short trip from the centre.

Evenings, Entertainment & More
Paris earns its name as the City of Light after dark: an evening or night tour shows the illuminated landmarks at their most magical, while a cabaret show brings the glamour of the Moulin Rouge and the famous can-can. Already seen the icons? Seek out unique Paris experiences beyond the guidebook. And to start and end your trip smoothly, a pre-booked airport transfer takes the stress out of getting to and from the airport.
Not Sure Where to Start?
First-time visitors should prioritise the essential trio — the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and a Seine cruise — and book skip-the-line access for the busiest of them. Add a walking tour of a quarter like Montmartre and a food tour to get under the city’s skin, then, with more time, pick a day trip that matches your interests. Whatever you choose, booking ahead is the single smartest thing you can do to make the most of your time in Paris.
