But, if you have a day to spare (preferred option), best would be to include that walking tour into a full-day tour!

If it's your first time visiting Paris and you only want a half-day introduction to the city,

I highly recommend that you choose the walking tour below

that will provide you with all the basics you need to know in order to get you started:

Saint-Louis Island

Marais

The Soul of Paris

City Island

Latin Quarter

Saint-Germain-des-Prés

Jewish District

Père Lachaise cemetery

Montmartre

Flea Market

Paris Americana

Louvre

Orsay

Orangerie

Marmottan

Opera Garnier

Rodin

Invalides

Sainte Chapelle

Conciergerie

Jacquemart-André

Carnavalet

Victor Hugo

Petit Palais

X-rated tours

(Aren't some of you glad you scrolled down this far?)

Nissim de Camondo

Picasso

Catacombs

Food tours

The day of the dead

Paris by night

Paris in a day with minivan

(covers a lot of grounds in a smooth way)

If you are a repeat visitor (or if you want more right from the start!), please check the list below

for all the specific tours I provide. There are bound to be a few places you've never been to...

Paris in a day

(on foot and public transportation)

Whichever option you choose, you will have a very good introduction to the city in general. And if you decide to continue on your own, I will have made sure that you know where to go and how to get there for the next few days.

But public transportation is not recommended these days (too many people, too little trains), and if you want to cover all the sites in one day, you will prefer this tour:
