Must See and Must Do in Paris

How to Avoid Common Pitfalls

To make the most of your Paris adventure with private and custom tours, it’s important to steer clear of typical travel mistakes that often lead to stress and letdowns.

  • Agencies encouraging compulsive buying

These tour agencies are the ones to avoid because often lack real cultural value and profit from your lack of local knowledge.

  • Not taking primary or secondary sources about Paris

Before contacting any agencies or tour guide, make sure you have some basic information about the city.

  • Overlooking Jet Lag

Not factoring in recovery time from long flights can leave you too tired to enjoy your first few days.

  • Cramming Too Much In

An overpacked schedule can quickly become exhausting, overwhelming and not relevant.

  • Missing Out on Local Culture

Focusing solely on popular attractions can mean missing the authentic Parisian experience.

  • Only Visiting Tourist Attractions

There’s more to Paris than the Eiffel Tower—explore lesser-known gems for a fuller experience.

  • Underestimating Travel Time

Paris is best explored on foot or by metro, but distances and crowds can slow you down.

  • Ignoring Seasonal Weather

Weather greatly affects walking tours—be prepared with appropriate clothing and footwear for the season.
