Paris Illuminated Walking Tour in Spanish

2. Paris Illuminated Walking Tour in Spanish

Paris is known as the "City of Lights" for being the first city to provide its streets and buildings with street lighting.

See some of the main monuments and sites of Paris with beautiful illuminations of the city such as the Madeleine, an impressive church similar to Roman-style architecture; the Champs Elysees, one of the most important avenues in Paris; and the Elysee Palace, the seat of the presidency of the French Republic. Discover the monumental surroundings of the Grand Palace of Paris, the Petit Palais, the Pont Alexandre Ill, and the National Palace of the Invalides, which is where the remains of Napoleon are found. The tour ends at the beautiful Soul Bridge, which crosses the Seine River. Choose to include a boat trip on the Seine when booking to complete your experience.

THANK YOU FRED! This was the perfect last minute decision we could have made on our last day in Paris. My mother is handicapped so we wanted to do something where she could enjoy the whole city and monuments without walking. Fred was so kind and thoughtful in this, he even had a small stool for her to help get into the car. I highly recommend Fred and this your service. This was the perfect way to get your family photos at all the must see spots in Paris. Thank you Fred! 10/10 would recommend!

The guide was very sweet and knowledgeable. She listened to my preferences and relayed them in every shop including my gluten sensitive. Since it was just my husband and I we also decided to stop at a mustard shop and 2 chit Jesus. The guide was very sweet!

Very nice discovery of Paris with the children, no need to walk, everything is done thanks to the glass and covered bus, perfect even when the weather is not very nice.

Fred was an excellent guide. Warm, funny, and flexible with the tour. Our family of 6 with kids and grandparents had a great time.

Great tour round dine fascinating Parisian chocolatiers. Patrick Roger is exceptional and the architecture an added bonus.
