A guide is included in 52% of the options we compare, and champagne tasting is featured in 38%. Meals are included in about a fifth of tours, while transport and drinks are less commonly bundled in.

An unusually high share of the options we compare are private tours: 36% of the 244 activities are offered as private experiences rather than group tours. This is notably higher than many other destinations, giving you plenty of choice between group and private formats.

Tours across booking platforms are offered in 8 languages: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Russian, and Dutch. This broad range means non-French speakers will find guided options, and French speakers have plenty of choice too. Most tours are guided (62% of options), so language availability is worth checking when you book.
