Safety first during a driving tour by car
Distractions are shown to compromise the safety of the passengers, pedestrians, and people in other vehicles. This is why, 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.
Benefits of Having Guide AND Driver
- Having a private guide AND driver gives the opportunity to being drop off for a walk
- You can stop and go to visit without limitations with your guide while your driver is parking
- With our Car Service Paris, it is possible to adjust your private tour itinerary on your way
- Your guide will coordinate the changes and your time management with the driver
Paris Museum Tours Combined with Driving Tours
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.
- Museum Private Tour Guide : 2 hours
- Lunch Break: 1 hour at a local restaurant or café
- Private Driving Tour : 4 hours
Making longer stop to visit outside landmarks or Paris hidden gems is wiser. However, you can be picked up or dropped off at the museum 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.

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
Disadvantages of Private Car Service in Paris
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.
Advantages of Private Car Service in Paris
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

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.
Traveling in Paris should be as effortless and comfortable as possible. With PARIS BY EMY’s reliable car service, you can enjoy a seamless experience from the moment you land at CDG Airport to your adventures throughout the city and beyond. Whether you need a premium chauffeur service for a private driving tour or a stress-free airport transfer, we offer exceptional comfort at reasonable rates, without unexpected surge pricing during peak season or major events like Fashion Week.
