“You ride on the top level of a double decker bus and listen to Christmas music with facts about the city peppered in. It’s prerecorded, but it was still a good way to learn about the city. We stopped in front of the Eiffel Tower and waited for the blinking lights which allowed us to capture some incredible video.”

“We LOVED our tour. With three of us we all had different levels of experience with being in Paris, but it is completely different sitting in a cool little car, with an experienced and knowledgeable driver. We could relax and look out the window. We all came away with new knowledge and places we want to visit. Dub was so congenial and helped us to feel at home in this beautiful city, that we have come to love. This is the second tour I’ve taken in a Citroen and I definitely enjoyed this experience the most. Thank you, Dub. I hope I am spelling the name correctly. Merci beaucoup!”

“Milan was absolutely fantastic !!!! This tour was incredible!! Milan took us to see all of the gorgeous decorations all over Paris. He took tons of pictures of us (at our request)-Milan had so much energy and it was clear that he loved being a specialty tour guide. He knew just about everything about Paris ! He answered all of our questions and we feel like we learned so much about Paris -both past and present. It was freezing outside, but Milan didn’t seem to notice. He took us all over the outdoor Christmas markets, to city hall, Place Vendôme, Avenue Montaigne, the Champs Élysées and more. He even personalized…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 17 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $251

A small-group Paris walking tour that mixes festive market wandering, hot-spiced wine, and the 13 Desserts of Christmas with a tea-room finish.

“The tour guide was wonderful. She showed us some really awesome gourmet shops and the tastings were divine. My one and only problem with this tour was the "tea room” at the end. She took us to the Hotel Littre, clearly on the other side of the tour route/neighborhood. We definitely went out of our way just to go to this "tea room" only to have very sub-par, awful service. I hope the company stops using this establishment. Terrible end to an otherwise brilliant tour!”
