Enjoy museums like the Louvre and Orsay in two days! We visited a total of six attractions in two days. It's best to book the Louvre and Sainte-Chapelle in advance!

I took a tour with Guide Nowon, and it was fantastic! Not only did they explain the artworks wonderfully, but even though I was traveling alone, they took great photos for me. I had considered using an audio guide, but it was much more convenient because the group had a separate entrance line.

It was a great experience seeing these Attractions from the Seine River. The staff of Bateau Mouches accomodated us with our baby in a buggy and he led us to the stroller-accessible ramp.

It was such a joy to visit the Musée d'Orsay, a place I absolutely had to see to view Van Gogh's works, and to hear our guide share stories about Van Gogh's life. Beyond Van Gogh, learning about and experiencing the evolution from Realism to color-focused Realism and Impressionism through the works of Millet, Courbet, Monet, and Renoir significantly broadened my understanding of painting, which I had previously only learned from books. Thank you for allowing me to experience and feel what Impressionism truly is, rather than just hearing a description. By personally experiencing a feeling that I never would have understood just by hearing about it, I was able to delve deeper into Impressionism even after the tour ended. I highly recommend setting aside an extra hour or two for personal viewing after the tour. I hope everyone gets to enjoy this opportunity to vividly see and experience paintings that we've only ever seen as small images in textbooks, right before their eyes with our guide.

The small-group guided tour I chose was truly excellent, especially as I was wondering how to best experience the immense Louvre. If I had gone alone, I would have simply looked at the artworks, taken a photo, and moved on. Instead, this tour allowed me to view each piece from multiple perspectives and consider its historical background, meaning, and the artist's intentions. From the moment we started, even before entering the museum, Guide Choi Jun-ho's explanations of France's history and present day, spanning from the 1st century BC, made the three hours at the Louvre feel incredibly short. I truly realized the meaning of the phrase, "You see as much as you know." While a tour that simply provides explanations would also be good, I highly recommend the small-group tour where you can ask questions, engage in conversation, and immerse yourself in the history of each era. Thank you, Guide Choi Jun-ho, for such an enjoyable and informative time!

We booked our Big Bus Paris tour through Klook, and it was incredibly easy to use. After booking, we received an instant voucher that was hassle-free to redeem directly at the bus. It’s a great way to skip the confusion of local transport. The best part is the convenience—the bus stops right in front of all the major tourist spots like the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and Notre Dame. We didn’t have to waste time navigating maps or walking long distances between landmarks. We simply hopped off, explored, and hopped back on when the next bus arrived. If you want a no-hassle sightseeing experience that saves your legs while offering great views from the open-top deck, this is definitely the way to go. Highly recommended for first-time visitors!

I took a uber to the pick up point at the Pullman hotel at 8:30 am before the bus leaving at 9 am where the tour agents has a table inside the hotel that make u feel so welcome . the lady in red was so nice n friendly that she offer all passengers a tea or coffee w a delicious biscuit . we can wait till the actual time at 9 am inside the hotel rather than wait outside like my Mont Saint Michel tour at the Pullman Effie hotel . that hotel need u to buy €8 coffee / tea n coke w crossaint than u can use that toilet n wait outside in cold weather before the tour leave ! both are Pullman hotel in Paris but they have different perception for tour agency
