Additional Information
Embark on an enticing exploration into the heart of Paris, tracing a picturesque route that reveals its historical elegance and modern charm. Your journey begins at the beautifully quaint Square du Vert Galant, a peaceful retreat located at the crest of Île de la Cité. Here, you’ll submerge yourself in the serene atmosphere while absorbing stunning views of the Seine River and the city’s landmark bridges.
As you amble along the Seine’s promenade, the river’s glistening waters reflect the majesty of Parisian architecture that adorns its embankments. Traverse above the regal arches of the Pont Neuf, the city’s most elderly intact bridge, and proceed on your voyage towards the spellbinding Tuileries Gardens and your concluding location, Place de la Concorde.
Being an American and a previous regular traveler to Paris, I can identify with the apprehensions one might have before their first visit. After years of planning, I’ve curated this special expedition and I invite you to join me and uncover the real Paris and its history.
- The terrain of this tour is fairly flat, however we strongly advise comfortable shoes.

Great tour experience - It was described as a small tour, but exceeded all my expectations and left me thoroughly impressed.
Throughout the tour, Ezra provided me with valuable information, making every minute count. He is very friendly and knowledgeable and makes you very welcome. It was an extremely cold day but he was still so enthusiastic talking about the history.
I realised that I previously passed by some places without any knowledge and after my tour, I felt I learned a lot about the history of Paris.
I highly recommend taking a tour with Ezra if you ever get a chance.

Solo Paris Trip - It was my first time in Paris and I was a bit nervous since I went alone. But Ezrah helped introduce me to the city with his warm personality and humor and valuable insight on the tour. One of my favorites was not even one of the major tourist spots that you would think! I had no idea there was a little garden in the middle of Paris called “Square Du Very Galants, it was so beautiful, I’m glad he included it. He also gave me some insight into things I could do in the city on my own! Will be returning with family next year and hoping to take them along on another tour with Ezrah!

Great tour for anyone - I wasn’t sure what to do with my extra time in Paris, until I was recommended to take the Heart of Paris Tour. I’m not much of a history person, But some how Ezrah managed to draw my interest in the rich history of Paris. Even if you are not interested in the history the sights you see on this tour are truly stunning. Definitely recommend booking a Heart of Paris Tour.
