Paris Walking Tours graphic image
The Historic Heart of Parisexplore the central neighborhoods—the Ile de la Cité, the Latin Quarter, Odéon, and the Louvre district. This is the historic heart of Paris.

French Masters at the Louvre 2
French Masters at the LouvreWhen visitors to Paris think of French painting, they tend to conjure the Impressionists at the Musée d’Orsay. It’s a little-known fact, however, that the Louvre—covering over 600 years of French painting—presents an unparalleled opportunity to discover some of its finest artists.
Musée Marmottan: Monet, Impressionism and Beyond

The Insights that "Canned" Tours Lack

"More information, insight, historical perspective and amusing anecdota than one could ever, ever receive in the same amount of time by 'reading up' on the subject or taking the 'canned' tour. These tours are an opportunity to view beloved art with someone who has the education and the intelligence to give thoughtful, informed responses. I hope to do this again, and again, and again. What fun!"
