Private guided tours — Paris, Versailles, Champagne & Loire
An expert state-licensed lecturer guide, a Mercedes chauffeur, unforgettable memories. English-speaking team, skip-the-line museum reservations.
Why choose a private guide?
Visiting the Louvre Museum with an audio guide is wandering through 73,000 m² without a compass. With a private state-licensed lecturer guide, it is discovering the essential masterpieces in 3 hours, with insights only an expert can offer — away from the crowds, at your pace.
Our partner Laurent, a professional state-licensed lecturer guide, specialises in high-end tourism. Bilingual French / English, he adapts every tour to your interests — art history, architecture, gastronomy, wine. Your Precellence chauffeur handles door-to-door transport in a Mercedes.
Note: The rates below are the guide rate (Laurent) and the chauffeur rate (Precellence) shown separately. Entry tickets are at cost price, with no margin.
