You can avoid the hassle of getting a ticket to the Louvre; instead, your guide will simply hand it right to you. Done. Once inside, you\u2019ll spend 1.5 hours getting an insider\u2019s view of the greatest art museum on the planet&#8211;and <strong>your guide will show you what works (<em>other <\/em>than the Mona Lisa) are worth looking at<\/strong>.

Nor will you have to worry about getting a <strong>ticket for the funicular to ride up Montmartre hill<\/strong>. Also done.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And an added bonus: the local guide is there to answer your questions, tell you what neighborhoods should be explored more and what parts of town to avoid. <strong>After a tour of Paris\u2019 main sites,<\/strong> you\u2019ll wake up the next day with added confidence about your solo trip in the City of Light.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Walks_Complete-Louvre-WEB-0004resize-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"People taking pictures of the Mona Lisa\" class=\"wp-image-12986\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Walks_Complete-Louvre-WEB-0004resize-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Walks_Complete-Louvre-WEB-0004resize-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Walks_Complete-Louvre-WEB-0004resize-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Walks_Complete-Louvre-WEB-0004resize.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">You know you want to see her, and the best way to do so is on a fabulous walking tour!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Some_Paris_In_a_Day_Tour_Highlights\"><\/span><strong>Some Paris In a Day Tour Highlights :<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Louvre Tour:<\/strong> Dive straight into masterpieces like the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo, guided by an expert who reveals the stories behind the art.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Montmartre and Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur Basilica<\/strong>: Wander the artistic streets of Montmartre, soaking in bohemian vibes and panoramic views from the stunning Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur Basilica.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seine River Cruise: <\/strong>Finish your day cruising down the Seine, savoring Paris&#8217;s landmarks from the water, a picturesque end to a perfect Parisian day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs_%E2%80%93_Solo_Trip_to_Paris\"><\/span>FAQs &#8211; Solo Trip to Paris<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_tours_worth_it_on_a_solo_trip_to_Paris\"><\/span>Are tours worth it on a solo trip to Paris?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Oui<\/em>!
