Paris Icons Express Free Tour: Notre-Dame to Louvre

Enjoy historic Paris with a Parisian by your side and experience the magic. On this two-hour free tour, we keep groups small. Your guide is a real Parisian, knowledgeable, fun, and fluent in English.

We are locals from Paris, not transplants. We introduce you to the Paris that we love.

Our tours are intimate by design, small groups and private tours, so we stay engaged and attentive to everyone individually. Solo travelers especially feel at home with us.

Paris with a Parisian - but of course!

“Paris Icons Express Tour - Notre-Dame to Louvre” is for people who want the best of Paris in two hours.

Notre Dame Cathedral and Sainte Chapelle, the Île de la Cité and the Conciergerie/Marie-Antoinette, the Louvre Palace, and Napoleon's Carrousel Arch.

Icon Express even includes a very special basement. We bring you to the spot where they tried to kill Napoleon. The Love Lock Bridge. Paris' Point Zero. Where the Grand Master of the Knights Templar was executed. And the magic place where you can see all at the same time, the Eiffel Tower, the Orsay, the Tuileries Garden, and the Arc de Triomphe.

Rather than slowing down entering buildings, we focus on exterior visits, neighborhood exploration, and visual panoramas.

Hot weather comfort: On hot days, we adapt our routes, stay in the shade whenever possible, make regular water stops, and provide hand fans for guests.
