Private Tour Paris Little-known Places 2 Hours In Citroën 2cv

Do it in the early morning to avoid traffic. Overall great experience, especially the stop along the Seine river.

This neat little spot is hiding in a golf course club house. Surely, every golf course has some level of dining but this is a bit well done. CAB meat on the menu which was a mystery until we learned that this is Certified Angus Beef. Had to give that a try with the steak sandwich and the St. B Beef both of which proved to be substantial and quite flavorful. The steak sandwich comes with onion rings with no option. If onion rings aren't to your taste, no problem. You get them anyway and have to have fries as a side order. I guess there are rules for the menu like there are rules to golf so no surprise when the meal order becomes somewhat pedantic. Cabby's Coffee was being served and it was pretty good. Nobody knows what or who Cabby is/are/am but still pretty good brew....or maybe that was the name of the coffee pots. Golf course club house vibe so quite casual, clean, and orderly. Prices are less than expected for an upscale golf course. The service was thin even though the dining room had 3 working tables. It's a place that certainly needs a 2nd visit to retest the ratings and I hope the score better on the next hole.

The tour was good, our driver Robert was very nice and spoke good English! The old Citroen cars can go places buses and taxis can not.

Excellent tour and driver but stay away from Viator! They are terrible with documentation! The tour provider made this work and picked us up at the hotel. Driver, Robert, was awesome!

Driver never showed up as scheduled even after receiving a confirmation call the day before . Then 15 minutes after telling me the tour was cancelled received a call that the driver was sitting outside our hotel. Driver did not speak English well. Between having difficulty understanding him, the noise of the car, the repeated stalling, no “secrets” worth seeing, the entire trip was a waste of time and money. Very very disappointing.

Our driver, Robert, was a lot of fun and knew the Parisian neighborhoods well. The 1974 Citroen car is a head-turner; people took pictures, smiled and pointed at it. We felt like celebrities!

If you have ever seen the short movie "Rendezvous in paris" this was it but in a 2CV. It helped that it was New Years Day and the roads of Paris were empty but WOW what a journey. Definitely saw part of Paris you wouldn't see on any other type of tour (specially as the others are generally on a Double Decker Bus). Some of the passage ways were so narrow and then the blast along the River Bank was definitely a moment to remember. My only small concerns would be view out of the car with the roof closed and being able to hear (& understand) our tour guide.

Our driver Robert constructed a drive after we told he we had been on the Hop On Hop Off bus. Great fun and insights.

We booked the 2CV hidden secrets tour which we enjoyed very much. The 2CV is in absolute original condition (so very run down inside) but is a great way of seeing the backstreets of Paris. The strength of these tours really comes down to the guide (which is all luck as to whether you get a good one), ours warmed up after a while and ended up showing us a good time.

Saw some wonderful sights throughout Paris during a short tour, although the car was a little small and uncomfortable. OK for a short tour, but would not recommend for a 2 hour tour. Best to go with the bigger vintage cars.

For a charming ride around Paris in an antique car with a captivating chauffeur you can't do any better than Kevin and a 2 CV. This quirky car is an iconic French Citroen convertible that was popular in the post-war period. A friend and I, on an April day, saw well-known and hidden treasures of Paris with the wind in our hair, the sun on our faces and the blue sky above.

This tour was amazing! We had so much fun and our tour guide Jean Rèmi was super fun and knew a lot of details about Paris and where to go and eat. He speak great Spanish so was perfect for my family and me. I learned a lot from this tour. Thank you Jean!

<p>This was amazing and a wonderful way to see Paris and learn lots of new facts. Our guide was very informative and great fun. I could not recommend this trip more .... fantastic way to spend the morning.</p>

<p>Very disappointed! Our guide was hard to understand, as he had a heavy accent and he did not understand our questions at all. He was enthusiastic and LOVED driving the car, but he took us to the same secret places that we already knew about. At the end he had us fill out an evaluation form and of course, with him watching us fill it ou,t we gave him all excellent. He was a nice guy, but we rarely got out of the car and asking him where we were so we could return later, was impossible. As he did not really know what we were asking. He knew his script but actual communication was not there. Expensive and we left thinking we gained nothing</p>

<p>We had an amazing time and Our guide, Kevin, was really great and very informative ! We saw a lot of parts of Paris that we had never seen before and what a unique way to view it through the roof of a 2CV. A truly Parisien experience!</p>

<p>Simply the best tour my two friends and I did in Paris! <br/> Our guide was entertaining, very knowledgable and we really did see sights we would never have found otherwise!<br/> The soft top car was such a fun way to see Paris and everywhere we went people pointed and took pics.<br/> Huge fun and highly recommended.<br/> Gaybriella</p>

<p>A fantastic and different way to see Paris. Our tour guide Marion was very knowledgable and took us to hidden sights we would never have found on our own. Our favourite was the view between a row of houses of one of the turrets of Notre-Dame. The 2CV was comfortable and we were able to have the roof down most of the time despite the rainy weather.</p>

<p>Had a wonderful time! Would highly recommend this tour and we will go again the next time we are in Paris!<br/> Tracey Jerger - Illinois USA</p>

<p>Best ever we hit all the major places and even went down a tiny rue that no other car could fit into. We saw almost everything in an hour and a half. Our tour guide Kevin was great. The back seat had no seat belts though.</p>

<p>We loved this great tour. Our guide was very informative and we enjoyed the back roads of Paris.</p>

<p>My husband and I did this and loved it. Kevin was the perfect driver/guide. The car was fun and enabled us to see the back streets and alleyways a tour bus could never have managed. My husband has loved walking the streets of Paris but is no longer able to do it. He was dreading just sitting in the hotel while others in our group explored. This was perfect - he saw as much or more than they did - and had bragging rights about the fantastic ride. We have done several tours of Paris but would definitely recommend this one and do it again ourselves - requesting Kevin, of course. It was refreshing to have a guide who we could have a conversation with and learned so much about the past, present and future of Paris, along with the gossip behind the doors we past.</p>

<p>We loved it. The guide was very knowledgeable, yet good fun. We went down some tiny streets and enjoyed seeing places of interest that we would never have found on our own, or on a regular bus tour.</p>

<p>It was great riding around in the 2CV convertible, taking in the sights. Great experience!</p>

<p>Very knowledgeable driver, Matthieu. Not only talked us through the monuments and architectures, also recommended good places to eat and drink at the end of the trip. Took as to Eiffel as requested even thou it's not part if the trip. Great service! Needless to say, cute car!</p>

<p>Paul, our driver spoke great English, he was very knowledgeable and took us to certain parts of Paris that we hadn't seen before, which was really nice to do. He asked us where we'd like to be dropped off when the tour was finished. We thought that was a great touch! Thoroughly recommend doing this tour!!! The Citroen 2CV is a querky touch too!</p>

<p>Thoroughly loved our morning discovering the secret side of Paris and the bonus was doing it in 2CV. Our driver/guide, Vincent, was great and shared quirky anecdotes and personal stories to add to the enjoyment. The time went so quickly which must be a good sign. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Europe. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone considering it.</p>

<p>We thoroughly enjoyed our 2CV secret tour of Paris for my wife's 40th birthday. We visited districts which we haven't even been to before and we've now been to Paris 6 times. Christophe our guide was very knowledgeable and provided some interesting facts about the parts we were visiting. Great experience.</p>

<p>Great fun and an excellent way to get your bearings. 2CVs are in Paris what minis are in London!</p>

<p>Would not do this again as we spent long periods of time sitting in the traffic, realise now that the space in the back of a 2CV is very tight. Sounded like a good idea but we couldn't have the roof down as the driver thought it would be too cold and I imagine the traffic fumes would have been a problem too!</p>

<p>Raphael what an amazing driver. A little confusion on where to meet at the Opera. To have a Parisian show you the sights is truly amazing. Little stories of him growing up about the streets of the neighborhood. Tiny streets with the most amazing shops and the oldest house in Paris. The car was perfect and drew many looks from people. One of the highlights was a hidden garden all set up to celebrate breast cancer month.<br/> Being a thriver of 8 yrs this was extremely special to me and unknown to our driver. Definitely recommend.</p>

<p>This tour is unique in the little cars. We had some difficulty with the driver finding us as we were staying in a pedestrian area only. Our guide was very pleasant but really didn't know his Paris very well at all. We just seemed to wizz past sights with not much commentary. The cars and the experience of travelling around Paris is quite special.</p>

<p>Wow! We had a fantastic time on our 2CV tour of Paris, Antonio our guide was friendly, informative and he took us around and showed us most of the sights we wouldn't have seen on a big bus tour which we did a few days later. I would highly recommend anyone doing one of these tours as a very fun way to see Paris. We had people looking at us as we drove around looking at the sights and my husband was standing up taking photo's. We were able to stop at the Eifel Tower and Notre Dame and Antonio took our photo's with the car.</p>

<p>Our trip around Paris in the Citroen was very nice , even though I feel it was on he expensive side. Our driver was very knowledgeable about the city and professional.</p>

<p>This tour was the highlight of our 3rd visit to Paris! Tourists were taking photos of us! Thank you Thomas...such fun!</p>

<p>This was one of the most exciting tours we did in Paris - a fantastic ride with a wonderful car. Our driver Martin was such a nice guy and so well informed - he showed us many of the less known sites in Paris. Should you decide to do this and have the choice, do it on a Sunday or a Bank Holiday, which will ensure you get the most out of it.</p>

<p>Terrific tour with Marie in a Vintage 2CV! She was very knowledgeable, spoke wonderful English and was a very good Parisian driver!! We would definitely recommend this tour to others. Since we have been to Paris several times and have seem many of the quintessential Parisian highluights, Marie took us to some lesser known areas of Paris. Marie was always willing to stop and get pictures of us with the 2CV.</p> <p>This is a great way to do a very different type of tour of Paris. This would be difficult for very big or very tall passengers (over 6'2") since the car is so small and you'll want to get in and out several times.</p>

<p>Loved it. Great way to see Paris. Have recommended it to friends.</p>

<p>So much fun! Guide was excellent and we had a very personal adventure seeing the main sites and little alleys. Recommended</p>

<p>I could rave about this tour! Alex was an amazing tour guide! He was able to go where tour buses don't, and he told so many interesting stories about Paris that I would never have known otherwise. He obviously loves his city, and enjoys taking people around to show it off. He was happy to stop from time to time and let me get out to take photos, and he took some of me on my camera as well in front of some interesting spots. When the time was up, he was in no hurry to drop me off, but was happy to take me to Montmartre where I was interested in exploring.</p>

<p>We thoroughly enjoyed our 2CV tour and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Paris. Our chauffeur/tour guide, Antoinette, was welcoming and knowledgeable. The tour was an absolute highlight of our stay in Paris!</p>

<p>Fantastic tour with JB my chauffeur. Highly recommend this activity to anyone traveling to Paris. Just loved the car.</p>

<p>A great way to see Paris - especially if you find walking more difficult. The tour itself was first rate but an added bonus was the smiles of complete strangers as they saw the venerable and automobile drive by.</p>

<p>Excellent, fun and informative. Our guide Nic was great and showed us interesting and different parts of Paris. Highly recommend this tour.</p>

<p>Excellent tour round Paris, getting into the small back streets we would never have found by ourselves.</p>

<p>Our young good looking french guide arrived at our hotel on time and with the roof rolled back he gave us a wonderful time of "hidden Paris". He certainly knew his "stuff" as we travelled the little known back streets of Paris in this delightful vintage Citroen. No rush, all we really needed was a picnic hamper and rug and our day would have been complete. Thoroughly enjoyed this great tour and because of the weather, we reaped all the benefits. Didn't get the young Parisean's name, but if he reads this, "Thanks for a great tour". Sue P</p>

<p>Our driver arrived promptly at our Hotel for the pick-up. She gave us a fantastic tour and shared so much information with us about Paris. We were able to visit some of the most beautiful places and it was a pleasure to have our own personal guide. We were even lucky enough to be taken to Sacre Coeur without having to walk up all those stairs to get there! We drove through some Streets where there were people all over the place and they just moved out of the way to let us through. We had so much fun!</p>

<p>Wonderful route with a delightful tour guide/driver. We found it the perfect way to start our Paris adventure. Well worth it. Wonderful in the summer sun with the top down.</p>

<p>This Citroen tour was some of the best fun we had in Paris. Our driver Guillame was fantastic.<br/> We must be in over 100 photo albums around the world as people would not stop taking photos of us.......C'était fantastique!!!</p>

<p>Our young guide was terrific. Sunday morning was perfect to do this tour as the road were not so busy and we visited lots of sights around Paris. Citroen was very cute.</p>
