Spend a week in magical Paris with a small group of fellow travelers, your Parisian guide…and the money you would have spent on a single supplement.
Why choose Paris Personally?
- First, there’s never a single supplement. Everyone has a private room (so important in Paris where hotel rooms are quite small).
- Speaking of small, our groups are limited to 10 people, so you won't feel like you're part of a herd. And we never use tour buses or eat in restaurants catering to large groups of tourists.
- You’ll get the best of both worlds with structured morning group outings and afternoons free. To help you plan your free time you’ll get a comprehensive booklet of city maps, a museum pass, a metro pass and, of course, our advice on what to do and how to do it. For more on trip itineraries, see our 2019 Small Group Trips page.
- And we have trips for both first-time and return visitors to Paris.
- Also, we’re full-time Parisians – long-time residents who know the city, so you’ll get more than just the touristy highlights.
Stay in a centrally located boutique hotel, dine in charming Parisian restaurants, and enjoy a more authentic Paris experience with Paris Personally. Click on the links below to learn more. Reserve soon because with only 10 spots, space is truly limited!
