Paris Layover Tour

Easiest Way to See the Sites from CDG!

Ask Maya was very communicative when I reached out to book rather last minute, and they allowed flexibility in designing and planning the tour. Fadi was my guide, and he was friendly and knowledgeable about the city, sites, and traffic patterns (very important in Paris!). Bonus- he was a great picture taker too! This is absolutely the most efficient way to see all you want in the city!

Excellent Tour

I had an absolutely amazing tour of Paris with Alain! His knowledge of the city’s history and hidden gems made the experience unforgettable. From the breathtaking view from the Eiffel Tower to the stunning Sacré-Cœur Basilica, and the incredible view of the Louvre to the iconic Arc de Triomphe, every moment was perfect. Alain’s passion and enthusiasm truly brought Paris to life. Highly recommended!

Paris in the rain

We saw Paris in the rain but still had a magical time. A grandma and 2 teenage granddaughters were very happy!

Must Do for Layover

Fadi was very kind and knowledgeable. It was the best way to explore a little bit of Paris in the little bit of time we had. Maya was very helpful when arranging our timing of the flight landing and the pick up. Best way to spend a layover and get a glimpse of the highlights of Paris.

An amazing day in Paris!

We had such an amazing day in Paris! Our drivier, Fadi knew all the best spots to take us for amazing views and photos of the Eiffel Tower, pointed out well known places along our route, and got us back to the airport in plenty of time to make our flight. Never once did I feel stressed about time. Fadi gave us time to go off on our own in some places, but also took photos for us so we had memories from the day without having to ask a stranger on the street or only have selfies. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone that has a longer layover in Paris and wants to to get out of the airport to explore!

Best Decision

Highly recommend this as a way to see Paris during a layover. Fadi was knowledgeable and very kind, Maya was very helpful with coordinating an earlier pick up time because the flight landed early and the booking time was only available for the afternoon. Best way to relax while learning and seeing the highlights of Paris!

Amazing tour, incredible communication!

Our tour with Alain was tremendous! The communication with he and Maya was very clear and timely, and he was right outside of the terminal doors waiting for us. We arrived early morning and had one day in Paris before leaving the next morning on a train to Bordeaux. We decided to use this tour to see Paris for the first time and then be dropped off at our hotel. In an amazing way, we accomplished both goals! Alain was the gentle presence we needed after a very long flight…quite knowledgeable and responsive to modifications we requested. We thoroughly enjoyed the insights he shared about raising his young family in Paris. Just a lovely person all around:) We give our highest recommendations to both he and Maya!

Highly recommend this experience!

I would highly the Paris Layover Tour! Fadi is a fantastic tour guide; he was thoughtful, very knowledgeable, and thorough with his guidance. The vendor makes the experience very accessible and effortless for any first-timers to Paris. We had never visited to Paris before--had a 9 hour layover in the city on our way to Asia and the best decision we made was taking this tour. It really allows for you to get a good feel for Paris and see multiple sites within hours. We really enjoyed ourselves; what a memorable experience.

Excellent 4-hour tour of Paris!

Fadi is an excellent tour guide. He is very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Paris. He also recommended an excellent bakery to stop and get a croissant. We had great conversations between stops about various topics as well. Highly recommended!

Wonderful

Perfect tour for my 7 hour layover in Paris! Alain was very knowledgeable and showed me the wonderful sights of Paris. 5/5 would recommend!

Must book for a great experience

Fadi is the most amazing tour guide! He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. He knew so much history and it was really amazing to learn from him. He also had great food suggestions. Overall, it was an amazing experience to have him as my tour guide. I highly suggest booking with him!!

Incredible Experience

Booking a tour of Paris during my layover was the best decision I made! Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made every minute count. From iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame to charming cafes tucked away in side streets, we experienced the essence of Paris in just 5 hours. The guide's insights and anecdotes added depth to the experience, making it unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to make the most of a short visit to the City of Light!

Wonderfull way to spend a stop over

Our Guide Fadi Z was amazing and shared so much info on our tour , the car was spotless clean and very comfortable , with the short time we had Fadi made sure we saw everything we ask too and had us back to the airport on time , I would like to say thank you to him .

Nice!!! Our family enjoyed it!!

Very nice experience! So grateful for our driver and tour guide!! We saw many sites around Paris and had the chance to walk around and check things out and hop back in and go to the next!

Excellent company and excellent tour guide!

My wife and I had an 11 hour layover in Paris and decided to take a tour during that time. Alain picked us up at the airport, gave us an amazing tour full of cool information and sites to see, and dropped us off on time with plenty of time for our next flight! I would highly recommend this tour and Alain’s service. Thank you Viator! We will continue to book tours with you as we travel the world.

Great Layover Tour with Fadi!

This layover tour was exactly what we wanted! We had a 5 hour window and our guide (Fadi) filled that time with seeing/visting and explanation of the sights. He is a great communicator and we had a lot of fun with him. We definitely recommend Fadi if your looking for a layover tour!

Fadi was on time and delight

Overnight in Paris had time for a quick tour our driver was on time snd wonderful.the weather was horrible

Dependable

Great use of our time in layover. Fadi was on time, knowledgeable and very accommodating to our schedules. Got some awesome pictures of the sights. In retrospect we should have asked for more walking time by maybe dropping one of the attractions.

Amazing Experience

The Paris layover tour was beyond anything we could have expected! The scheduling process was easy, communication before the trip was clear, and the overall experience was extremely organized. Our tour guide, Fadi, is such a wonderful human!! Not only did we enjoy spending time with him and learning his story, his professionalism and the care he took to ensure we stayed on schedule so as not to miss our flight, was great. We absolutely loved our tour and we highly recommend!

A trip to romantic Paris

This was our first trip to France, my spouse and I are celebrating our 50th anniversary. Paris was high on our list, and we were pleased to have a pleasant guide to make it stress free. Fadi took use to many wonderful places in Paris, of course the Eiffel Tower was high on the list. We enjoyed the Louvre Museum with its amazing historical buildings surrounding. The Basilique du sacre-coeur was a beautiful historical church with an amazing view of the city below. In a little open area a small group of talented artists who were drawing and painting before us. Fadi was always a gentleman, thoughtful of our needs, making everything as easy and pleasant as possible. Our pickup and drop off were promptly on time. I pray many blessings on him, and his family, a special thank you to Fadi for his kind service.

Great layover tour

Alain was a great tour guide. He showed me everything I wanted to see and with the best views. The weather was raining and cold so if I didn’t want to get out, he drove by until I could get pictures of things I wanted to see. He picked me up on time and returned me on time to the airport with no worries. I wanted to see the Eiffel Tower lit up so he extended other parts to ensure I saw it after sunset.

An amazing 👏 experience

Fadi, my tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. We started the tour with the iron lady herself (Eiffel tower) and ended it with a view of the city of Paris. It was an amazing 👏 experience.

Paris in 6 hours!

10 hour layover in Paris and my teenage son and I were able to see the major stops in Paris. Our driver Fadi was fantastic. He accommodated a tricky airport pick up with construction, and a lot of traffic. He added a few personal stops by our request and shared history of the sites. We could not have seen everything in our own. And his car was especially nice! This was the perfect way to go with no hassle and full service pick up had drop off. And he was mindful of when we needed to get back to our flight. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely Rainy Day in Paris

The Paris layover your was a great experience. Fadi was an excellent tour guide and even gave us an umbrella for the rainy day. And we enjoyed seeing the Christmas lights all over town. The communication and pickup at the airport was easy and stress-free. We enjoyed our tour and the service.

Paris with FADI- a win/win combo

Unfortunately the review only allows you to give five stars when we had a ten star experience! Our guide was a gentleman named FADI and he was/is EXCELLENT!! From pick to drop off our experience and FADI were phenomenal. His knowledge of the sights, the neighborhoods and extensive answers to every one of our questions is beyond compare. His personality was everything! He is the type of guide you want to have drinks with and probably end up as lifelong friends. My experience with booking, receiving info on pickup and drop off was very very smooth as well. I will definitely recommend AND use Viator again. My suggestion to anyone reading this is to request FADI for a stellar experience and all of the best picture taking locations and eateries - you will feel like you’re with a trusted family friend ❤️

10/10 Recommend

Fadi was an exceptional guide. Not only did he have an extensive amount of knowledge about Paris but he also was very understanding and accommodating to our group. Fadi made sure we saw all the spots and heightened our curiosity for visiting Paris in the future. Thank you Fadi for going above and beyond to ensure we had a great day in Paris!!! Merci beaucoup! Definitely recommend!!!

Paris Layover tour to remember

Had a great Paris layover tour booked via Viator. Our flight was delayed departing by 2.5 hours or so, I reached out to Maya via WhatsApp, she advised Fadi right away & he reassured me that he is aware of the changes & will delay his pick up time accordingly. He used the time wisely to take me to all the famous tourist spots & dropped me off to the airport at a reasonable time. I highly recommend visitors specially female solo visitors to ask for Fadi as he is very dependable.

Unforgettable experience!

Recently experienced the Paris Layover Tour with AskMaya. Husband and I had a 10 hour layover in Paris before our final destination to Rome. What a perfect set up they created! Maya was in communication (in English) with us prior to leaving the US through WhatsApp which was extremely useful and reassuring. I’m the type of person that needs confirmation and I had no doubts whatsoever when we landed in Paris. Our flight was delayed by an hour but I was able to let Maya know prior to arriving in Paris. One concern I had was our carry on luggage as we had planned on taking it with us on the tour. No problem at all as we were able to store them in the trunk of the vehicle. Our tour guide/driver, Fadi, was an absolute joy to be around! Aside from being historically knowledgeable, he is super friendly and personable and made us feel comfortable and safe from the very beginning. We appreciated his patience with us never rushing us as we enjoyed each sight. He even got some amazing photos of us at all the right spots. We were also amazed at his driving and parking skills especially in a bustling city like Paris! It ended up being such a beautiful day thanks to Fadi and company! We will treasure this short-lived but unforgettable time we had in Paris forever. If we return again, will not hesitate to hire them again. Will also request Fadi as he was one of the best tour guides we ever had. Perfect stars all around!!

Awesome tour guide!

Fadi was the perfect tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and informative. He was friendly, courteous, and flexible to our needs. He answered every question we had.

Enjoyable

Fadi z made our layover experience great. He was prompt and he made every minute count. We got some awesome pictures. He was kind, courtesy and just pleasant. I definitely recommend to ask for him.

AMAZING

The tour was a great experience. It’s perfect for a long overlay flight. I fell in love with Paris!!

Great way to see Paris on layover

Had an 8 hour layover in Paris - did 1/2 day tour and got to see so much. Alain was an awesome guide and tailored tour to things I wanted to see and do! Thanks for everything Alain!

Layover experience with Alain.

Alain was a great tour guide. He showed us all the famous places in Paris. Pick up and drop off was included and Alain was very timely. Everything was well organized and he was very well educated about the history of Paris. Over all it was honestly a great experience and I would definitely do it again if I had the chance.

Perfect Layover Tour of Paris

This tour was perfect. It was my first time in Paris and I was there on layover for a birthday trip in Italy. First, booking was extremely easy and was partially done through email and over WhatsApp. This was a last minute decision so I booked this 2 days in advance of arriving. I was provided all of the information about where to meet the driver, his name and what car he was driving along with accompanying photos on WhatsApp. I provided them with my flight information and he arrived literally the moment I arrived to the pick up spot. Both the driver, Fadi and Maya, who managed the booking spoke English. As we drove to and through Paris to our various destination, Fadi provided a wide range of information on Paris and France. As a woman traveling alone I was a bit nervous but Fadi was a wonderful guide and I felt very comfortable sight seeing with him. He offered to take pictures of me at the various sites we saw. We walked some areas and got snacks to eat as well. I can honestly say this was the perfect way to see Paris in a quick 8 hour layover. Some sites we drove past like the Place de la Concorde and the Opera other places we stopped and I got to walked around like the Louve, Montmartre/Sacree-Coeur and the Eiffel Tower. We also stopped briefly by the Arc of Triomphe for a photo. If you have a layover in Paris and especially if you've never been before I highly recommend this tour. It is a great glimpse of the sights and culture in a quick trip. I also cannot say how wonderful of a driver and guide Fadi was. This was an amazing start to my birthday trip.

Fabulous tour of the city !

We had a most fabulous day! Our guide was knowledgeable and thoughtful. We visited all the top sites on our tour and were given wonderful recommendations for our stay . He even told us to message him during our stay in Paris if we had any questions. He went above and beyond, simply outstanding! We would highly recommend!

Short and sweet Paris layover trip

Alain is a good driver and expert guide. I had a good layover memorable trip. Maya was in touch providing regular updates regarding the trip.

A terrific tour of Paris!

We found ourselves with a 23 hour layover in Paris on the way home to the US. Our tour guide, Fadi, picked us up from our hotel at the airport, and for the next 4-5 hours, really impressed us with his knowledge of the city, and his ability to know exactly where to stop for great views and pictures. We had a lovely lunch from a bakery while sitting by the Eiffel Tower, and were able to get out of the car several more times to explore the Lourvre, Sacre-Coeur and the Arc de triomphe. He also pointed out several other Paris sights along the way. If you find yourself with a long Parisian layover, I can't recommend this tour enough. A terrific way to spend the day.

Amazing Tour!

My wife and I had the most amazing tour by Farid during our Layover coming from Naples. Farid provided excellent instructions where to meet and kept in constant contact with us as our flight landed. He was extremely friendly and wowed us with his historical knowledgeable of Paris. We can't believe all things we got to see during the tour! Farid ensured we made it back to the airport with plenty of time to catch our connecting flight. This tour is a MUST do!

Great experience with 8 hour layover

Driver was easy to find, on time and very accommodating. We saw the highlights of Paris and made it back in plenty of time for our next flight.

Great Tour of Paris!

My best friend, her son and I flew into Paris to go on a 9-day WWII history tour and none of us had been to Parid (or France for that matter). I searched for day tours of Paris and came across the Paris Layover Tour. Based on the reviews, I booked a tour for us. Fadi was our tour guide and did a fantastic job of showing us Paris over a 4.5 hour period of time. It was such a fun tour and we all learned a lot from him about Paris. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone that has limited time but really wants to see what the city offers.

Great experience! Perfect...

Great experience! Perfect for a layover, stress free pick up and drop off at the airport. Saw all the major sights and learned a lot about the city.

Enjoyable

It was a great taste of Paris! We had a 7-hour layover, which gave us 4 hours to tour. Fadi was enjoyable and knowledgeable.

Easy and efficient

This was an easy and efficient tour of the Parisian tourist highlights in a short amount of time. No planning of the itinerary was needed

Best Layover Tour!

Fadi was an amazing tour guide! Great communication before the tour, easy pick up process, took us to some amazing photos spots, stopped at a great bakery so we could enjoy coffee and pastries, and got us back to the airport at our desired time. He was also our photographer at times :) Highly recommend!

Perfect experience for long layover!!

I cannot say enough about this tour. It was exactly what we needed for our 8.5 hour layover in Paris. The process from beginning to end was extremely professional and efficient. My husband and I looked at a few companies on Tripadvisor and narrowed it down to this one and I'm so glad we did!!! We were a bit skeptical about leaving the airport but AskMaya took care of all the details and made us feel comfortable enough to do it. They worked with us and coordinated our schedule based on our flight times. The day before the tour, Maya messaged me on Whatsapp with all the specific details. When we got there, we got lost in the airport (my fault LOL!) and our guide Fadi messaged and called us to walk us through getting to the right spot. He was so nice and patient. Once we met up, we were on our way! From the time we got in the car until he dropped us off, he gave us history and commentary on almost everything we saw. We had a FANTASTIC time!!! He even took pics of us at all the destinations. We started by stopping at a French bakery and eating pastries in the park under the Eiffel Tower. After that, we enjoyed the rest of the sites listed on the tour. Out of the 8.5 hours, we spent about 4-5 hours in the city. Fadi got us back in plenty of time to hang out in the Air France lounge before heading home. It was simply a perfect experience. We have so many great memories from our first time visiting Paris. When we come back for a longer stay, we will definitely book this again so we can hang out with Fadi!!

Wonderful use of layover time and lots of fun memories made!

We had a fantastic, personalized tour that fit our layover window perfectly. Even with a last minute change to our flight, we were able to see some of the city and have a much more enjoyable layover than just sitting at the airport. We would definitely book again with AskMaya!

Time worth spent

Boat ride and pastries. Given the time constraints, the tour was organised appropriately. Thank you Maya for accommodating our last minute wishes. Fadi is a fantastic driver and guide easy to relate with

Great experience!

Fadi was amazing and showed us everything and then some. Didn't get to see the Lourve because of the marathon but otherwise a wonderful experience.

The tour guide was pretty...

The tour guide was pretty quiet throughout the tour. Expected more history and interaction. Just drove and seems eager to finish the tour.

Great intro to Paris

The Paris Layover was perfect. After a flight cancellation (2 days before our trip) we ended up in Paris for about 20 hours . We booked the tour and are very happy we did. Alain our tour guide was fantastic. He explained a lot about the city while driving us to the city center. All the stops he had were great. After our 4 hour tour, we felt we saw a good amount of Paris, enough that we plan to come back for a longer trip. I’d definitely recommend this tour. Thanks Alaine!
