Must-See Tours

You’ve gathered your entire team to visit the most iconic neighborhoods of Paris, but you don’t know which one to choose? My Urban Experience is here to help! Online bookings are for groups of up to 12 people, but we can accommodate larger groups on request: contact us at contact@myurbanexperience.com.

Families, friends, school outings, team building, youth associations—no matter what type of group you are, our team is here to guide and support you before and during your activity.

My Urban Experience has a team of expert tour guides who will take you on a 90-minute journey through the neighborhood of your choice. Each tour, depending on the neighborhood, covers a historical and unusual theme to make each experience unique. Our primary goal is to help you discover a neighborhood in a fun and informative way, with well-crafted, engaging, and anecdote-filled commentary that is anything but academic.

We offer tours in five different neighborhoods for our classic visits:

Le Marais: The oldest district in Paris, Le Marais will take you on a journey from the Middle Ages to the present day, rich in historical and cultural heritage. Its charming narrow streets and trendy atmosphere captivate visitors. Explore historical buildings and places such as the Enceinte Philippe Auguste, Place des Vosges, Musée Carnavalet, and many more. Discover numerous anecdotes and puzzles that unveil the secrets of this district.

Les Passages Couverts: These covered passages, built in the 19th century, allowed the bourgeoisie to shop sheltered from the weather, essentially the predecessors of modern department stores. Our guides will share stories about the golden age of these galleries and the various artisanal trades they housed. Walk through the passages from the Grands Boulevards to the Jardin du Palais Royal, rain or shine!

Le Quartier Latin: The main student district of Paris offers a true journey through time from ancient Paris to the present day. As the foundation of the Roman city of Lutetia, it features well-preserved antique traces like the Cluny Thermal Baths and the Arènes de Lutèce. Over time, the neighborhood developed around the Sorbonne and became a significant site for the Republic, represented by the Luxembourg Gardens and the Panthéon.

L’Île de la Cité: The historic center of Paris and the seat of royal power, this island is home to iconic monuments like Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Conciergerie. Our guides provide new perspectives on the history of these famous monuments, taking you through medieval streets to unusual addresses, and sharing anecdotes and mysteries that abound in this fascinating district.

Montmartre: Perhaps the most iconic and lively neighborhood in Paris, Montmartre leaves no one indifferent. On its hilltop and in the Abbesses district, you’ll wander through unique and famous streets and alleys frequented by artists, painters, and songwriters. Enjoy a stunning view of Paris. Discover the essence of Montmartre by climbing its steps, exploring its bustling streets, and closely observing its street art.
