Paris Private and Small Group Guided Tours
With its boulevards and bohemians, Paris lives up to its reputation as headquarters for the intellectually curious.
The glittering jewel of the Seine. Birthplace of gothic architecture, hotbed of the Age of Enlightenment, cultural capital par excellence—there's a reason why Paris has entranced us for ages. This endlessly fascinating city has many layers: from its medieval Gothic period, when churches like Notre Dame were erected; to the 1789 Revolution, when the Bastille was torn down; to the Second Empire, when 19th-century urban planner Hausmann built the grand boulevards; to the 20th century, when modernist architects like Le Corbusier experimented with a new vision of the city. That sense of invention has inspired French culture—including literature, art, fashion, and food. Immerse yourself in the grand splendor of the City of Lights with Context's Paris private tours and Paris small group tours.

Paris Private Tours and Paris Small Group Tours
We run over 30 different Paris guided tours, including tours for kids, food tours, and art tours. What's our favorite? Well, it's hard to go wrong with our private Paris Chocolate tour, an intellectually curious look at the world-conquering sweet that covers everything from how such an innocuous bean became so beloved to why Paris might be the best city for chocolate in the world. We also love our Musee d'Orsay Tour with an art historian, covering one of the most exciting and noteworthy periods of art. If we're feeling bohemian then let's alight to the 18th arr. for our Montmartre Walking Tour, where we'll learn all about Lautrec, Picasso, and the rest of the avant-garde community of the late-19th and early-20th century. Or, cultivate your own Parisian exploration—our Paris private guides are happy to tailor a custom tour to your interests.

Laurent is an engaging educator who was absolutely wonderful with my kids. Filled with so much knowledge, he made our time at the Louvre so enriching for the whole family. A few days after the tour, our kids still remembered things they had learned from Laurent. Toby remembered that the Mona Lisa was stolen, Natalie remembered how pharaohs would inscribe their names on sphinxes and erase the names of prior kings. Eleanor remembers the features of a genuine Greek sculpture. I highly recommend Laurent for this tour!

We loved Thibaud's direct approach to this tour and his comparisons to current US situations. He doesn't present the glossed over & rewritten version of history, but has put together a discussion of the events as scholars believe they happened and the reasons why they happened. We very much liked his candor and style.

We had a great day at Versailles with Laurent. He did a great job focusing on what we had asked for as the theme of the tour and taught us a LOT that we did not know. We would love to go to Versailles again with him on a different focus and I'm sure we would learn a lot more.
