Tours are a great way to get the most bang for your buck, make sure you see the highlights of a place, and have a guide to contextualize the site for you through their stories. The Tour Guy, LivTours, and Viator offer tours to make your trips more memorable by taking the trouble out of traveling and leaving you with nothing but great experiences and fond memories. Many of the tours have skip-the-line access and all of them have knowledgeable, passionate guides to make the place come alive. How cool is it to have a local to guide you from one place to the next?!? Each tour takes sightseeing to the next level and leaves you with an adventure you won’t soon forget.
Paris can be overwhelming to visit. Who isn’t swept away by the City of Love? With all that history, fashion, rich food, and architectural splendor, Paris can easily overwhelm a traveler. One of the most intimidating places to visit—with its lines snaking for what seem like miles past its glass pyramid—is the Louvre. But to miss this amazing former palace filled with artistic treasures, including da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo, would be a major faux pas! The Tour Guy, LivTours, and Viator offer several skip-the-line tours to choose from to make sure you have the best experience possible.
