    A nouveau view of hidden treasures

    We loved the tour. Our guide, Mila, was incredibly knowledgeable, not only about what we saw, but how it fit in with the broader history of Paris, the architectual styles and how they developed and French culture. We have taken numerous Paris walking tours but this was our first with Paris in Person. We look forward to taking others with them. One thing to note if you take this tour: you will do plenty of walking but will see things in Paris you may well have missed before. The long walks were made enjoyable by all the information and stories Mila shared along the way.

    Fantastic Paris tour!

    We had a wonderful time crossing the city with Melissa! we have learnt so much and have seen so many hidden places we would not have discovered on our own! would highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: hi there, thanks for the kind words - both Milica and I (as well as our other guides) love these theme tours, where one can truly dive deep into the art history as well as regular history, politics and mores of a given period. She found your company very agreeable and hopes to see you again when you come back to Paris. Kind regards, Boris, Paris in person private tours

    Paris Art Nouveau with an Expert

    Our tour guide, Andrea (?), provided us with an outstanding introduction to Paris and French Architecture, with a focus on Art Nouveau (and a hint of Art Deco). We learned more than we could have even imagined, and Andrea proved that she “really knew her stuff”. She was a delight! We will definitely work with her again when we return to Paris or Normandy,

    Response from the operator: hi there, Thanks for the kind words - Andrea's name is actually Anya :), she is the one that gave you the tour. She is indeed very knowledgeable about art nouveau, déco and art and history in general, and we are very happy to have her in our team. Both her and I are looking forward to having you as a guest again, be it in Paris, Normandy or some other site we visit. Kind regards, Boris, Paris in person private tours

    Paris Art Nouveau Private Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.

    How much does Paris Art Nouveau Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $344 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Paris Art Nouveau Private Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.

    Is Paris Art Nouveau Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Paris Art Nouveau Private Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Paris Art Nouveau Private Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Paris Art Nouveau Private Tour?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Paris Art Nouveau Private Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Paris?

    +

    Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based), Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Paris?

    +

    April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Paris?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Paris Art Nouveau Private Tour?

    +

    Included: Professional art historian guide. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Transportation to/from attractions. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Paris Art Nouveau Private Tour?

    +

    We meet the clients in front of the Franprix store situated at the corner of rue de l'Université and avenue de la Bourdonnais. Your guide will be carrying a red canvas tote bag. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Paris Art Nouveau Private Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Paris Art Nouveau Private Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Paris Art Nouveau Private Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Paris Art Nouveau Private Tour if the weather is bad?
