Classic Tours in France

How about taking a classic tour with a twist in Paris ?

Want to discover Paris’s must-see sights but you could do without the bus tour and the hordes of tourists?

The Paris Portrait Tour is a unique opportunity to visit some of Paris’s world-class monuments with your own professional photographer and history geek. Taking in some of the most breathtaking Parisian sights such as the Palais-Royal, the Louvre, and the Pont Alexander III, your private photographer will capture on film some of the most beautiful moments from your holiday.

The Paris Photo Shoot at Night is led by a professional photographer during the glorious twilight hours, as the sun is about to set over Paris. Guided by your photographer, you will walk the gorgeous hidden streets of Île-Saint-Louis and pose in front of famous monuments like the Louvre and its spectacular glass pyramid. Under the charming street lighting you will recreate your perfect Midnight in Paris photo moments to take home with you and cherish for a lifetime.

The Paris City Tour is a private walking tour of the classic monuments and hidden spots, such as Notre Dame, Ile-de-la-Cité, the Louvre, Tuileries, and Place de la Concorde. Included in this tour will be a choice of tastings à la carte: either chocolate, pastry, or foie gras. Your chosen tasting will take place in the historic Les Halles district of Paris. Soak up the local atmosphere while you savour rich French cuisine in an authentic artisan’s shop. C’est parfait!

The Montmartre Essentials Tour is a unique off-the-beaten-track tour of an intriguing Parisian neighbourhood steeped in history and legend. The tour is led by a passionate expert who will show you the hidden spots. While you will see some of the most visited must-see sights such as the Moulin Rouge and the Sacre-Coeur, there will also be a special look at the former legendary inhabitants of this charming and beautiful hill. You will discover where Picasso, Modigliani, Vincent Van Gogh and Co. all lived and drank.

What makes Localers’ Classic Tours different?

Our guides are passionate local experts: You won’t find part-time Erasmus students leading our tours. Our guides are Parisians or have lived in Paris over a number of years, they don’t just know the history of the city, they live and breath the city every day. So, if you need advice or a simple explanation about French culture, they are there to help. And most importantly, they can point you in the direction of the perfect café or an amazing little French bistro, bien sûr!

Localers has reinvented the classic walking tour: Le Paris by Localers is a classic walking tour reinvented. While it takes in some of Paris’s top-class monuments and sites, there will also be a particular focus on lesser-known areas such as Les Halles. Les Halles’ former culinary history as the central Parisian market will be evoked during this tour as participants take part in a delicious food tasting in a local merchant’s shop. This will also be an opportunity to get a feel for the city while you walk its lived-in neighbourhoods.

Our tours are fun: Kick back and relax, your guide won’t overload you with tons of information. Our approach to walking tours has been totally reinvented. We think a historical approach is only part of the picture, we want to complete it by giving you the keys to a local experience. We will show you what the art of French living really means and how to go about experiencing it for yourself.

Our Photo Tours are totally private and led by Professional Photographers: You wont just have amazing photographs to take home with you but also the memories of an insightful tour with a local Parisian. Taking a relaxing visit with a professional photographer of some of the most photogenic sights that Paris has to offer will make you feel like a V.I.P. It’s important to feel this looked after when you are taking that dream trip.

Our walking tour groups are small in size or totally private: Less is more, especially if you want to hear what your guide is saying. Our Paris City Tour is private to ensure you get the most out of your guide. Groups that are kept to a minimum means a better quality tour for you and the people on them.

Our drinks are included in the price: There are no add-ons or nasty bills with Localers. Our aim is to bring the locals and the travellers together, it’s for this reason our guides invite you for a drink in one of their favourite cafés.
