Be careful with private drivers tour agencies who offer you a so called “bespoke itinerary” : In fact, they provide already-made driving tours according to their OWN convenience, avoiding difficult districts or landmarks to drive through and to park if you want to make a stop. Providing attractive price, they are just opportunist sometimes without respecting regulations and without the VTC card

Private tours Paris with private chauffeur by PARIS BY EMY

Private Car Service Paris Professionalism

PARIS BY EMY works with professional drivers providing professional liability insurance certificate and who has the VTC card. The VTC or large discount driver drives people in so-called luxury touring vehicles as part of their trips. To be a VTC private driver, you must hold a professional VTC card that must be on the windshield of his/her vehicle. For safety reasons, it is mandatory that drivers are only driving.

The best and historical private luxury driving company in France is Chabé. Visionary, Maurice Chabé, returning from the Great War, decided to serve the clientele of Parisian Palaces during the Roaring Twenties. Building on his father’s experience who owned a few cabs, he bought his first car and drove it himself in 1921. Chabé is now present in 13 cities in Europe and offers its services in 100 countries. In addition, the Maurice Chabé Academy has supported since 2008 learners in the profession of driver and holders of a professional card that must be on the vehicle’s windshield.

Luxury chauffeur-driven cars must have an engine with a power greater than 88kw (i.e. 120 horsepower), have between 4 and 9 seats, be more than 4.5 meters long, be less than 6 years old and offer comfort and “standing” interior fittings including services. Be careful of attractive price from some companies that offer in fact low quality tourism driving tours. In our tour, the driver will never be a guide at the same time.

2 Options : Guide and Driver or Only Driver

2 options both with bespoke itinerary according to your aspirations, profile, with our expertise are offered to you according to your budget :

  • A private driver ONLY with custom-made itinerary and permanent contact (budget friendly or independance need)
  • A private guide AND a private driver with custom-made itinerary (high standard of service)

We possess in-depth knowledge of the city’s iconic monuments and districts, including transportation optimization and skip-the-line tickets booking.

Safety first during a driving tour

Distractions are shown to compromise the safety of the passengers, pedestrians, and people in other vehicles. This is why in our tour, the driver will never be a guide at the same time.

  • Your driver does not have anything else to do than driving

According to the National Highway Traffic Administration – branch of the US Transportation Department, driver distractions are the leading cause of most vehicle crashes and near-crashes. Thus, having both a private driver AND a private guide allows the driver to pay fully attention on driving tasks.

  • In our tours the private driver will not be a guide

Driver undeniably rhymes with good driving. Your driver cannot talk and explain you about Paris while driving. PARIS BY EMY offers private “driver only” with personalized itinerary for friendly budget. Be carefull, certain driving agencies are social dumping when they use a driver who is a guide while putting safety at stake. A driver is a driver and a guide is a guide. A guide will provide you great insights, support and “light” during your tour.

Don’t worry, you can adapt your itinerary on the go and stop according to your needs for both option : driver only OR guide with driver. Your driver and you will receive your tailor-made itinerary by email upon your approval before your arrival for both option : driver only OR guide with driver.

Visiting Paris with a private guide and a private car service offer a seamless and personalized way to explore the City of Lights. Thus, your custom-made itinerary is flexible while being set before your arrival with time optimization : photo breaks, walking, shopping, pause for bathroom or lunch break.

Paris Surrounding Areas by Car

While Paris itself offers a wealth of attractions, the surrounding areas are also worth exploring. Visit the enchanting village of Giverny, the former home of Impressionist painter Claude Monet.

For wine enthusiasts, a visit to the Champagne region offers the opportunity to taste exquisite sparkling wines and explore historic vineyards.

Private Driving Tour and Museum

We do not recommend to visit a museum such the Louvre during a driving private tour unless you have an extensive budget. Indeed, you do not want to pay a driver to stay inside the car while you are visiting a museum for at least 2 hours. The investment of hiring a private driver, with or without guide, is better cushioned for a full customized driving tour accross Paris with brief stops, hop on and hop off. Making longer stop to visit by walk landmarks or hidden gems is wiser.

Moreover, PARIS BY EMY can book a museum private tour with a licensed guide or skip the line tickets with audioguide. You can be picked up or dropped off at the museum or site you want to visit before or after your driving tour. In that sense, you optimize your driving tour without paying for a car while you are visiting a museum. Unless, you have a significant budget.

Walking Tour or Driving Tours ?

When deciding between a private walking tour and a private driving tour of Paris, several factors should be taken into account such as your budget but also :

  • Personal Preferences: Are you more drawn to leisurely strolls through charming neighborhoods or the convenience of covering more ground ?
  • Time Constraints: Walking tours may offer a more leisurely pace but a walking tour consumes a lot of energy and time.

Advantages of Private Car Service

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.

Disadvantages of Private Driving Tours

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.
