Paris · 2-HOUR EXPERIENCES
Good 2-hour experiences fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
2-hour small-group guided walk at Père Lachaise. See Chopin, Oscar Wilde, and Jim Morrison, plus myths and artful graves.
“Apparently another guide was late, but I cannot imagine anyone doing a better job. He asked for our requests, fulfilled them all, and pointed out many graves of interest along the way. His history of the cemetery itself was most informative.”
In Paris, blend 2 to 3 scents in a hands-on perfume workshop near Île Saint Louis, then take home a custom 50-ml bottle.
“This experience was amazing! I would do it every time I'm in town. The educational part of the class was engaging with quizzes and fun information. I loved creating my own scents. Can't wait for the next time.”

2-hour German-led Montmartre walk from Place Blanche to Sacré Coeur, with Moulin Rouge, Place du Tertre, and quieter hill corners.
“Lucy hat uns durch Montmartre geführt und uns tolle Ecken des Stadtviertels gezeigt. Spannende Erzählungen. Sehr empfehlenswert.”
2-hour Paris wine tasting with Nicolas at Paris Wine Co: 7 wines, 7 cheeses, baguette, and wine-region lessons in English.
“We had the best time and actually learned quite a bit about wine. Would highly recommend this wine tasting.”
A 2-hour guided walk at Mont Saint Michel with English narration, old-village context, optional abbey entry, and time to explore on your own.
“Booked 2 hour guided tour which ended up no more 80 mins due to travelling time via shuttle to base of Mont and inefficiency of enduring a combined English and French language ( even though we had booked an exclusively English tour!) . The heat and odd tour route taken by the guide made the tour disappointing .”
Private 2-hour electric tuk-tuk tour of Paris highlights with rain cover and blankets, up to 6 people, English guide, mobile ticket.
“It is a soft way to get a good overview of key areas in Paris. Rafael was lovely. It is more an overview vs an in depth historical or singularly focused experience.”
Bayeux sidecar tour to Omaha Beach, the Normandy American Cemetery, Longues battery, and bunkers, guided in English or French.
“Thomas and Philipp were fantastic. Philipp provided excellent details of the areas we visited and at the end they both provided us with great recommendations on where to continue our tour of Normandy. And we can confirm the recommendations were justified and enjoyed by us all. Highly recommend this tour”
