This private tour company gives visitors peace of mind with a translator guide for just about any language and an expansive host of customized tours throughout France. First-time visitors are encouraged to take the Introduction to Paris Tour, which begins with a visit to the Eiffel Tower and meanders by boat to Notre Dame and to the older areas of Paris that are often overlooked during a first-time visit. For returning travelers who happen to be fans of "The Da Vinci Code," Adventure Tours takes guests through the main areas of the Louvre described in Dan Brown's bestselling novel. A Catacombs Tour reveals the six million skeletons under the Left Bank of Paris, and guests will learn how Paris solved its problem of overpopulated cemeteries throughout France. Lighter subject matter, such as a tour through Paris's flea markets, gives visitors firsthand shopping experience for treasures that can only be found in France. Additionally, French Adventures offers hot air balloon excursions over France, barge cruises, and helicopter rides. From coast to coast and every place in between, French Adventures allows guests to explore the nooks and crannies of France with a sense of security combined with the thrill of the adventure.

This private tour company reveals Paris from an insider's perspective with personalized attention to guests. Local guides with a passion for hospitality lead visitors through tours that focus on art galleries, culinary interests, shopping that can be customized to meet guest's budgets and tastes, or family tours that keep children entertained at the Passages Couverts de Paris (a maze of glass covered passageways). Qualified guides with an extensive knowledge of the city of Paris are trained and meet background requirements. They are not required to obtain a license for some of these tours, which allows guests to visit places most tourists overlook or are not permitted to visit without waiting in long lines or purchasing tickets. Guests can choose their own personal tour guide and customize very private family trips or group excursions with friends or associates.
