What are the best ways to get around Paris?
Even if you haven’t been to Paris, it’s likely that you can picture it. Across the city’s twenty arrondissements (districts) there’s always something to catch the eye. Here are the best ways to get around Paris:
Walk: The boulevards are wide and provide plenty of space to properly distance yourself from fellow pedestrians; meanwhile the winding alleyways are meant to get lost on as you pop into cafes and boutiques.
Take the metro: With some 300 stations and 16 lines, it’s a quick and easy way to get around Paris, as long as you don’t mind commuting with locals and tourists alike.
Arrange private transportation: While Uber and taxis are always an option, what’s better than knowing you have the attention and professionalism of a driver-guide to explore the city? On our tours around Paris, your driver-guide will point out sights as you drive by them, as well as park in convenient, safe places for you to get out and enjoy the views at Champs de Mars, Montmartre hill, and more.

Reviews
Started the tour to Versailles in a spotless luxury Mercedes Van, so comfy. Our guide Fred proved us with quality transmitters which was great as it can get loud and crowded in the Palace. Fred was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the Palace and French history. Highly recommend. Thanks Fred.

We had a tour guide named Fred Khlghatian who did a fabulous job for my family. He was knowledgable in all aspects of history. It was a rainy day but he knew how to get around traffic. I would recommend him to my friends Boston, USA
