Why go to France?
What our tours in France are about?

You have to admit, even the question sounds silly. What do you mean, why?! Because no matter what country you live in, France - and this is a completely unique story - is present in almost every area of our lives. Any of us, being woken up in the middle of the night, will easily name a dozen or two French directors, actors, films, artists, musicians, writers, favorite books, and historical figures. We happily munch on croissants, drink champagne, and there's always a little pot of Dijon mustard somewhere at the back of the fridge. We all know what Montmartre and the lavender fields of Provence look like. We'd recognize the Eiffel Tower and Mont Saint-Michel anywhere, anytime. And no one will ever persuade us otherwise: if there’s chic, it’s Parisian; the Riviera is French, the mustard is Dijon, and the tower is Eiffel.

But, you have to admit, all this would be a bit dull if France didn't have another side - completely unexpected, and one that not everyone gets to see. Yes, we associate this country with the Louvre, the Opera, and "high culture", but into its intangible heritage list it also added the fairground culture (culture foraine). The country of haute cuisine and fine dining officially considers ordinary bistros its heritage — not the signboards or the cuisine, but the conversations at the counter, the habit of meeting neighbors here, making friends, watching the life of the quarter. Right alongside the manicured boulevards of Paris, you'll find over a hundred apiaries, a vineyard, vegetable beds, and farms on roofs and underground, well, and also they graze sheep right here. And all of this - inside one of the most expensive cities in Europe. And such unexpected things are at every step here.

And also, France is one of the most active European laboratories in the field of AI, urban concepts, biomedical, aerospace, and quantum technologies.

And also, wonderful people live here, it's damn beautiful, tasty, fun, and very soulful here. Honestly, we are sure that God created France so that we all knew - yes, life can totally be this beautiful.

About all - even the most unexpected - faces of France you will learn on our tours. Come! It's impossibly beautiful and damn interesting here!

Boutique Tours in Paris and Beyond

There's so much in this country — and even in Paris alone — that you absolutely have to see, taste, discover. From this abundance, you can go crazy, and the choice can turn into an exhausting process. To show you the most interesting and unusual things, to introduce you to the real Paris, not just the tourist-brochure version, to tell you why everything is arranged this way here, and which of the commonly held ideas about France and Paris are carefully constructed myths — and which aren't, and most importantly, so that your vacation becomes a genuinely captivating adventure, we've designed a variety of tours.

We will be happy to show you our favorite quarters of Paris - the Latin Quarter, Montmartre - or tell you about how the luxury industry is structured in France. Very soon we will have tours of Paris museums and Versailles available, and in 2027 - we plan to launch private tours in other regions of France too.

And of course, we can organize transfers for you all over France, so you don't have to figure out the not-too-simple transport system of this beautiful country.

Journeys Created Specifically for You:
Private Tours of Paris and France with a Local Guide

On all our tours with local guides, we show you not only the iconic landmarks, but what is even more important - all kinds of wonderful spots that most tourists never find. We talk not only about the history, traditions, culture of the country, and other equally important things, but also about what it's like - to be French today, what bothers a resident of this beautiful country, what they are proud of, and what - not so much, how they raise kids and what holidays they celebrate.

On our tours we also always tell you where to go in your free time, where to spend the evening, what souvenirs to buy to surprise your loved ones, where to catch contemporary design, we show the best places for photoshoots and much more - everything that is interesting specifically to you. That's exactly why we recommend beginning with a tour — it gives you the context to make everything that follows so much more rewarding.

And of course, on our tours we don't just talk — we do all kinds of things together: taste local food and drinks and through them learn about the local culture, sing, dance, decipher mysterious inscriptions, look for clues, uncover secrets, and sometimes even bargain with the spirits of the place.

If it's hard for you to choose a tour, just write to us about what you love, about a comfortable travel pace for you, about what time you have at your disposal, and we will recommend what will best suit you and will make your trip unforgettable. We'll gladly recommend not only tours, but also festivals, exhibitions, unusual museums, nature reserves, the best restaurants (they are not always the most expensive ones), the most picturesque villages, and much more. We love this country deeply and want to share that with you.

Custom Planning of Your Perfect Trip to France:

If you love traveling independently, we will gladly put together for you a custom plan of the perfect trip, taking into account your interests, comfortable pace, budget, and even dietary preferences. Your plan will include places chosen specifically for you, detailed maps, a clear schedule, instructions on using transport, info on prices, and much more. If you want, we can include our tours there too. You can find all the details here.
