Museum Tour with Licensed Guide or Audioguide ?
In the vibrant city, exploring its renowned museums is a must-do for any visitor. Have a look at our Top Art Museums in Paris. Paris has more than 200 museums. These cultural treasures house some of the world’s most celebrated artworks. However, when it comes to experiencing these museums, travelers often face a dilemma: should they opt for a private tour with a licensed guide or rely on an audioguide ?
-
What is a licensed guide ?
To be a licensed guide, you need to have the professional “guide-lecturer” bachelor or a Master’s degree including 3 compulsory modules : guide-lecturer skills, professional simulation exercise and foreign language, in order to obtain the “licensed guide lecturer” professional card delivered by the prefecture. In addition, some guides have degree in art history. Each guide has its own art specialty, art selection tour and art expertise according to specific museums such as the Louvre, Versailles Palace, Orsay museum…. They give you their knowledge with their own personality and subjectivity.
-
Benefits of a Licensed Guide
Licensed guides undergo extensive training and possess in-depth knowledge of the museum’s collections. They can offer historical context, artistic insights, and captivating stories behind the masterpieces you encounter. Their expertise transforms the museum visit into a rich learning experience, enriching your understanding of art. PARIS BY EMY works with high level licensed guides, each with their own specialty for such and such museum.
-
Benefits of an Audioguide
These portable devices provide audio commentary on various exhibits, allowing you to explore at your own pace. You can pause, rewind, or skip ahead to areas that pique your interest, making it ideal for independent travelers. For budget-conscious travelers, audioguides present a cost-effective alternative. They typically come at a fraction of the cost of hiring a licensed guide. Moreover, Audioguides offer flexibility in terms of itinerary and timing.
In both case, PARIS BY EMY will set and book your so famous “skip-the-line tickets” with audioguide or with a licensed guide from its business partners network of licensed guide Parisian companies. The choice between a Paris museum private tour with a licensed guide or simply using an audioguide depends on your preferences, and budget.
PS Don’t forget to look at the PARIS MUSEUM PASS for more than 60 museums and landmarks including the Louvre, Orsay, Arc de Triomphe and Versailles. Excellent choice if you are a museum lover !
How to choose a Paris Private Tour Guide ?
Selecting the right private tour guide can make a significant difference in the quality of your travel experience. Trust your instincts when making your selection. Be careful with fake reviews and fake likes. Some tourism companies do not hesitate to use agencies to provide false reviews. It could be a private tour company, like a private driver company and for any business actually.
Fake reviews, likes and comments from some tourism companies
- They enlist the services of agencies that offer fake review packages for a fee
- They create fake accounts or use bots to artificially inflate engagement metrics
- Manipulation of algorithms used by online review platforms and search engines
- Loopholes in these algorithms, companies can ensure their fake reviews appear prominently
Almost every week, I receive offers to get fake reviews, even to provide fake reviews. The issue of fake reviews is a matter of ethics and an underground international business. Genuine feedback is essential for fostering trust and transparency. Those companies not only betray the trust of their customers but also undermine the integrity of the feedback system as a whole. Governments are increasingly cracking down on those companies. The consequences may include legal action against the organizations involved.
What are the good reflex to choose a Paris private tour guide ?
- Before making a decision, take the time to research potential tour guides online on search engine
- Read reviews from previous clients, examine the language and tone of the review to detect fact reviews
- Seek recommendations from friends, family, or fellow travelers who have had positive experiences
- Reach out to potential guides directly to discuss your needs, preferences, their services and your budget
Cultural sensitivity is crucial when interacting with locals and visiting sacred sites or culturally significant landmarks. Choose a guide who demonstrates respect for local customs, traditions, and etiquette, and who can help you navigate cultural differences with grace and sensitivity. A preliminary conversation can help you assess their professionalism, and compatibility before committing to a booking.
PARIS BY EMY can put you in touch with previous clients, mostly American, if you feel like it. We can discuss your interests and preferences by email and/or phone as well.
Be Open to Recommendations
Authenticity plays a pivotal role in making your tour meaningful. Online booking private tours often lack this vital element, leaving travelers with an already-made private tour of Paris. We set together your private tour guide thanks to exchange upon your approval.
- During the creation of your tour before your arrival
- During your tour when you are in Paris
While it’s important to have a plan, it’s also essential to be open to spontaneity and serendipity. Trust PARIS BY EMY recommendations and be willing to explore off the beaten path; you never know what hidden gems you might discover along the way. Indeed, this is why you will not find PARIS BY EMY on Get your guide, Viator and so forth. We have lots of expertise and recommendations to give.

-
Drawbacks of Private Walking Tour Guide Paris versus Driving Tour
While exploring Paris on foot offers many rewards, it also requires physical exertion that may take a lot of energy for everyone. Long walks across the city’s sprawling landscape can be tiring, especially for travelers with mobility issues or health concerns.
Although private walking tours allow for in-depth exploration of specific areas, they may not cover as much ground as other modes of transportation. If your goal is to see as many attractions as possible within a limited time frame, a walking tour might not be the most efficient option.
Traffic restrictions during the Olympics
The Olympic and Paralympic Games will mainly take place in the heart of the city, in temporary stadiums: an exceptional setting for athletes and spectators from around the world. To ensure the safety and protection of residents, athletes and visitors, state services will set up perimeters around the competition venues. These perimeters will result in access restrictions or diversions for motorized vehicles. Traffic restrictions will not affect pedestrians, so better to have walking tour guide during the Olympics. https://parisbyemy.com/paris-olympics-2024/
We do not recommend to visit a museum such a big as the Louvre during a driving private tour because 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. However, you may choose high services and convenience by focusing on quality over quantity, depending on your budget. However, making longer stop to visit landmarks or not so touristy sites is much more wiser. PARIS BY EMY can book tickets for a specific day and time frame according to your itinerary.
