A lovely experience while laying over in Paris. Easy pickup and drop off at the airport. We got to see many sights, and our driver Fadi, was super knowledgeable about the history and facts behind it all. Even got a delicious croissant during it all. Definitely recommended if you have some time between flights.

Our experience with Fadi

Garrett_B, May 2023

Fadi was a great tour guide! He showed us all around Paris in a 3-hour time span very efficiently. If we were to do the layover tour again, we highly recommend him and this experience! The car was also a great perk 👍 we wish we had more time to explore the beautiful city!

Great layover experience

VenkataManoj_M, May 2023

We had 9 hrs of layover but due to delays it was reduced to 8 hrs but the driver was so understanding about delay and adjusted his timing , with in the time available he was able to show us attractions that are important in Paris and he knows the places and history very well. He is so kind and good. Our tour was smooth, he picked and dropped us at airport.

Amazing layover tour

TAMMIE_H, May 2023

Amazing! We had a 7 hour layover and booked a tour with Fadi. He did an amazing job helping us see the top spots. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Picked us up at airport and had us back in time for flight. Will do again when I have more time.

An amazing layover in Paris

William_E, May 2023

Tour was amazing! Fadi knew the best spots to see, for photos of the biggest sights with great angles and fewest people, even found us an amazing spot for coffee and pastry. Though our time was short, we never felt rushed. Fadi had an eye on time and traffic and made sure we were on schedule without us even knowing. I wish we’d had more time, but with the time we had this was absolutely the best way to spend it.

Best day trip

Kareem_O, May 2023

Paris layover tour was great!

Alyshia_L, Apr 2023

Fantastic tour of Paris! Great way to spend a layover sight seeing so many wonderful historical sights.

So glad we decided to take this tour!!

Marianne_B, Apr 2023

If you're wondering whether or not to take a layover tour....just do it!! This was the first time we did one, and right from the beginning Maya and Fadi made everything convenient and easy! Communication was great, and we met up with Fadi at the airport seamlessly and were soon on our way. Our tour was fun and informative. We saw so many iconic sites with plenty of time to walk around, take pictures, and learn about the history from our guide. Fadi helped us make the most of the time that we had; he was very friendly and knowledgeable! We arrived back in plenty of time for our next flight, and are so glad we ventured out of the airport to see this amazing city! Highly recommend this layover tour of Paris!!

Five Hours in Paris!

Frank_R, Apr 2023

If you have a long layover and want to see the highlights of the city, this is a great tour. It is not an in-depth, see-and-learn-everything adventure, but it gives you a quick look at a number of the monuments and locations, including the Eiffel Tower. Our very kind guide was well-versed in the places we went to and very accommodating with our special requests - within reason. Obviously, you cannot see everything or spend large amounts of time at any one place. A good value IF you understand what you are getting and it fits your expectations.

Fantastic!

Jessica_B, Apr 2023

This tour was perfect for our layover. Our guide was great with communication prior to taking us up, was very informative, and even took us to places where we could buy souvenirs. Great tour!

Highly Recommend

Diane_S, Mar 2023

Thank you all for making my layover in Paris memorable. Maya was exceptional helpful in making a custom tour package where I was able to see the sights and enjoy the Metro and a boat ride down the Siene River. Samah was my guide for majority of the tour and was very thoughtful of making sure I was enjoying myself and felt like a long time friend instantly. I am still in awe of the Eiffel Tower views. Ferdi picked me up near the end of my tour to take me to the Basilica of Sacred Hearts and see the beautiful city from high ground before heading back to airport. Thank you all for making this day so memorable.

Great way to spend a long layover!

Valerie_L, Mar 2023

Layover tour was great and I’mm glad we were able to do it. The company contacted me a week out to confirm the pick up details. Our local guide Alain was very open and answered all our questions. We didn’t get to stop and eat a crepe because our souvenir shopping ran long but still had a great visit and the pictures were great!!

Glad we picked this tour

Inessa_A, Mar 2023

We booked this tour because we had 15 hours layover. Our flight was delayed and Fadi communicated with us and adjusted excursion time based on our arrival. He met us and took us to many Paris attractions. Fadi is knowledgeable, well mannered and patient. He is accommodating. He has good driving skills navigating the streets of Paris.

Highlights on a short time

Connie_L, Mar 2023

We were able to see the highlights of Paris on a really short time. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Solo in Paris

Stephanie_B, Mar 2023

I booked the layover tour to see Paris and it did not disappoint. Maya picked me up at the airport in a very and showed me all the major attractions. She was informative and showed many sites in a limited time. I was nervous since I was traveling solo and it was just me and the driver but Maya made me feel comfortable. I felt like I was talking and touring with a new friend.

Wonderful!!!!

Jessica_M, Mar 2023

A wonderful time on our layover at CDG. We were tired from our travels but wanted to see some of the sites. Our guide was excellent and everything went smoothly. We stopped at a bakery for really great snacks and with this being our second time in Paris we saw sites we did not before and of course the Eiffel Tower again. It was truly a great time although short.

Great tour!

Jill_O, Mar 2023

Fadi was a great tour guide! We got to see a lot of key things in a few hours and it made our short time in Paris very memorable. Would definitely recommend this your if you have a long layover.

Fantastic way to spend a long layover!

Taniqua_M, Mar 2023

We picked a chilly yet sunny day and got some of the best pics! Definitely need to do this if you have the time to get in some of the best sights!
