Paris by Emy
We had booked a pilgrimage to Lourdes and Fatima for late February/early March 2026. We decided to come a few days early and see Paris before meeting our tour in Toulouse. Emy was so helpful and really understood what we wanted to see - we agreed on one half day with a driver and one half day on foot. Sadly all the planning went out the window when a blizzard hit New York and our 72 hours in Paris dwindled down to less than 24!! Emy was so good to us - she was able to change our two mornings into a 5 hour afternoon tour with a driver that allowed us to see what we wanted to see! Our tour was so personal!! Our driver got us so close to the sites which saved us precious time! We had a wonderful tour of Notre Dame, which we were so excited to see! Then up to Sacre Coeur - so beautiful! From there we were able to see the relics of St Genevieve at Saint Etienne du Mont - such amazing architecture! Then we finished at the Chapel of The Miraculous Medal - also on our “really hope to see” list that we feared we might miss! As we lingered there, well past our agreed on 5 hours, Emy then hailed us a taxi and made sure he would get us to our Seine River cruise - so kind!! We cannot recommend Emy enough! She really helped us start off our pilgrimage in the most wonderful way!!
Emy made the planning effortless and the trip truly unforgettable. My 75-year-old mother and I worked with Emy to plan a special mother–daughter trip to Paris over the Christmas holiday week in 2025, and we could not have had a better experience. From the very beginning, she guided us through thoughtful pre-planning, preparation, and consultations so we felt confident and excited heading into the trip. When we arrived in Paris after a 12-hour flight, the experience was nothing short of incredible. At 6:00 a.m., we were met by a greeter who escorted us past all the lines at Charles de Gaulle, carried our bags, whisked us through border control, and had us in a chauffeured car within 30 minutes. It was such a gift—especially after a long international flight. Emy helped us build a realistic, well-paced day-by-day itinerary that balanced sightseeing with breaks, downtime, and flexibility. She truly understands how Paris works and how to make the most of your time without feeling rushed. We also booked a custom tour with her, which ended up being our favorite part of the trip. Emy is incredibly personable and deeply knowledgeable about Paris. With a chauffeured car, she guided us through the city, shared fascinating stories and local insights, and tailored the experience entirely to what we wanted to see and do. She shopped with us, pointed out details only a local would notice, helped translate during in-depth conversations at boutiques, and read information boards we were curious about—all while remaining flexible and happy to adjust plans on the fly. Having Emy available via WhatsApp for questions and recommendations throughout the trip was also incredibly helpful and reassuring. If you’re looking for a thoughtfully curated Paris experience that maximizes your time while still allowing freedom and spontaneity, I can’t recommend Emy enough. She helped us create memories we will cherish forever.
I requested a personalized Christian art tour at the Louvre. Emy was the perfect tour guide for me because she’s a very down-to-earth person and not intimidating or snobby in the least. She was very comfortable to spend time with and because she is relaxing to be around, I continued to feel as though I was on vacation even while being with a stranger. I had fun with her and am glad she was the one taking me around such a large museum. I didn’t need to know anything about art for her to be a good teacher. She did only give me two hours of her time even though some of that time was spent standing in line or having to ask employees how to get around certain blocked entrances. I appreciated that she was efficient and kept on teaching me even while we were in line, etc. and I know she did some homework to prepare for her tour with me. I only wonder if she might consider extending how much time she spends with her clients to 2 ½ to 3 hours for the same price to get to see more art pieces. But overall, I would say Paris by Emy was one of my favorite experiences in Paris in 2026!
Emy is awesome! My extended family of 10, ages 4 to 78, visited Paris in November. We booked Emy for two tours. A walking tour of Notre Dame Cathedral and a driving tour of Paris attractions. Emy was super knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. The arrangements she made for the driving tour were 1st class. In addition to the tours, Emy provided input and ideas to help us build out our full itinerary. The cost of her services was very fair and reasonable for the personalized top-notch service we received. I would highly recommend Emy's services for anyone looking to book private customized tours of Paris.
Our time in Paris with Paris by Emy was truly exquisite! Emy went above and beyond to make our trip comfortable, educational, and unforgettable. We were traveling with my almost 80-year-old mom on her first visit to Paris, and Emy made her feel completely at ease — she even got her to try escargot (and she liked it!). The private, licensed guides Emy arranged for Versailles and the Louvre were outstanding — knowledgeable, engaging, and full of passion for their work. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, allowing us to simply enjoy and take it all in. Our custom tours of Paris landmarks and the food-focused afternoon in the Marais were absolute highlights. Emy’s insider knowledge, warmth, and humor made Paris come alive — she wasn’t just our guide; she truly became part of our experience. If you’re looking for a custom, one-of-a-kind Paris adventure crafted with care, expertise, and heart, look no further than Paris by Emy.
Emy made my trip to Paris smooth and stress-free from start to finish. She was incredibly responsive and really listened to what my family and I wanted to see. Every tour ticket was purchased in advance, which made each excursion effortless. She also gave excellent restaurant recommendations and helpful tips for early bookings. Our virtual meeting before the trip added a nice personal touch, and the car service she arranged was perfectly on time. Emy checked in often to make sure everything was going well. I highly recommend working with Emy for your Paris travel plans — it was my first time in Paris, and having someone who truly knows the city made all the difference. I would have been lost without her and look forward to planning my next trip with her again!

Private Car Tour Paris Drawbacks
Traffic Jam and parking difficulties
Driving in Paris can be quite challenging, especially due to frequent traffic jams. Rush Hours: Typically between 7:30–10:00 AM and 4:30–7:30 PM on weekdays. The famous Place de l’Étoile (around the Arc de Triomphe) is notoriously chaotic — cars entering technically have the right of way, unlike in most roundabouts. With parking difficulties, it is better to have a guide AND a driver.
Less Intimate Experience
While private driving tours offer comfort and convenience, they may lack the intimate experience of walking through the streets of Paris. Sitting inside a vehicle can create a barrier between you and the city, limiting opportunities for spontaneous interactions with locals and immersive cultural experiences. However, you can hop on and hop off the car to appreciate Paris vibes.
Limited Interaction with Locals
Exploring Paris by car may also result in limited interaction with locals, as you’re confined to the vehicle for the majority of the tour. Unlike walking tours where you can engage with shop owners, street performers, and residents along the way, private driving tours often keep you distanced from the vibrant pulse of the city. However, your guide can offer valuable insights and commentary, the opportunity for genuine interactions with Parisians when you stop the car and walk with your guide.
Private Driving Tours Of Paris Benefits
Comfort and Convenience
One of the primary benefits of opting for a private driving tour of Paris is the comfort and convenience it provides. Traveling in a private vehicle allows you to navigate the city with ease, avoiding the hassle of public transportation or navigating crowded streets on foot. With air-conditioned comfort and ample legroom, you can relax and enjoy the sights without worrying about weather, fatigue or discomfort.
Covering More Ground
Unlike walking tours, private driving tours offer the advantage of covering a larger area of the city in a shorter amount of time. With a bespoke itinerary, you can visit multiple landmarks and neighborhoods without the constraints of physical exertion. This is particularly advantageous for travelers with limited time who want to maximize their sightseeing opportunities without feeling rushed.
Accessibility for Those with Mobility Issues
For travelers with mobility issues or disabilities, private driving tours offer a convenient and accessible way to explore Paris. With door-to-door service and wheelchair-accessible vehicles available, everyone can enjoy the beauty and charm of the city without limitations. This inclusivity ensures that all travelers can experience the magic of Paris firsthand, regardless of their physical abilities.
