Overview

We are Discover Walks — turning tours into Parisian experiences, intimate and authentic. Led by Paris-loving locals (not expats), in groups of 10–15 (max 22/guide). We cover tourist must-sees AND local favorites you won't find in any guidebook.

“Paris Icons Express Tour - Notre-Dame to Louvre” is for people who want the best of Paris in two hours.

Notre Dame Cathedral and Sainte Chapelle, cité island and Conciergerie/Marie-Antoinette, the Louvre palace, and Napoleon's Carrousel arch.

Icon Express even includes a very special basement. We bring you to the spot where they tried to kill Napoleon. The Love Lock Bridge. Paris' Point Zero. Where the Grand Master of the Knights Templar was executed. And the magic place where you can see all at the same time the Eiffel Tower, the Orsay, the Tuileries Garden, and the Arc de Triomphe.

Rather than slowing down entering buildings, this focuses on exterior visits, neighborhood exploration, and visual panoramas.

HOT DAY SPECIAL: On hot days, our guides have fans for every guest. We walk in the shade. And every tour makes frequent stops for water.
