What to expect
Montmartre: the hilltop village that shaped modern art
Your Paris in a day tour starts with a funicular ride up Montmartre hill. From Sacré-Coeur, the whole city is below you, and for the next hour it stays that way as your guide walks you through the narrow lanes where Picasso, Renoir, and Toulouse-Lautrec lived, worked, and argued about art. You'll pass the Montmartre vineyard, one of the last remaining windmills, and the cabarets that drew them all here in the first place.
The Louvre: from the Mona Lisa to the Winged Victory
With pre-reserved tickets, you'll head straight into the Louvre for a 90-minute guided tour of a collection that spans 9,000 years. Inside, your guide takes you from the French Romantics to Michelangelo's sculptures to the ancient Greek galleries where the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace stand. You’ll leave understanding why the Winged Victory stands at the top of that staircase and why the Mona Lisa earned the bulletproof glass. On Tuesdays when the Louvre is closed, you'll visit the Orsay Museum instead. Your guide leads you through the world's largest Impressionist collection, from Van Gogh's Self-Portrait to Monet's Woman with a Parasol, with the personal stories and rivalries that shaped the movement.
