On a busy Saturday night Laurent, our driver, made his way with expertise through heavy Paris traffic. Up we went to Montmartre, then Place Vendome, down the Champs-Elysees to the Arch de Triumph, and of course the Eiffel Tower.
Laurent was informative of all the sites. He went way beyond expectations and stopped so many places in just the perfect spot for him to take professional type photos of us popping out of the open roof in the car with a monument behind us. At the end he transferred the photos from his phone to ours and like magic we had our memories in tact.
Bravo Laurent and City-Wheels for memorable night in the City of Light.

We booked 3 hours night tour. We are lucky to have Laurent as our guide. He was punctual, very informative and an excellent guide. He also took great photos. We learnt some interesting history of Paris from him. Highly recommended. Thank you Laurent.

Our tour of Paris with Laurent was an amazing experience. So much character in the explanation of Paris history, politics, & culture. Laurent was very accommodating and ensured that we were able to take the best photos, in premium locations. He even showed us how to enhance the picture for a vintage look. The classic Citroen helped with extra leeway in parking where others wouldn't. We went on the next week to London, did a car tour, and well it just wasn't quite the same. Beautiful city, awesome car, the best private tour guide.
A premium experience for a reasonable price.

There's no other way to tour Paris with style than driving in a classic car during sunset and evening. We met our driver and host Laurent promptly at 9pm. This time allowed us to see the sunset and evening in Paris at the same time. Laurent took us to large monuments (Notre Dame, The Louvre, etc) while pointing out other historical facts along the way. We drove by the Eiffel Tower at 10pm just in time to drive across the bridge while it sparkles. He played the song we danced to on our wedding day. It brought my wife to tears. Laurent went above and beyond! It was a MAGICAL night. I highly recommend this tour and Laurent to anyone!

I booked this as a surprise for my daughter's birthday, and booking directly was very easy. Laurent responded quickly and answered all my questions prior to our reservation. First of all, our driver Laurent absolutely made this tour magical!!! He was so friendly and fun, with a vast knowledge of all parts of the city.
This tour is the perfect introduction to Paris. We chose this tour for our first full day in Paris, which turned out to be ideal in making us feel comfortable navigating the city for the remainder of our trip. We even saw Laurent and the beautiful Citroen he named "Simone" a few days after our tour, and we waved to Laurent and he saw us and waved and Simone gave a friendly beep! I feel like we now have a friend in Paris - Laurent, you are the BEST!!
Our vehicle, Simone, was gorgeous. Such an antique beauty garnered lots of attention and photos from passers-by. It was so fun to pop up through the open roof while briefly stopped at a sight and wave to the people like I was the Queen - made us feel like celebrities! We are a family of three, and the vehicle accommodated us perfectly. My husband sat in the front with Laurent as they talked cars and engines and the like, while our daughter and I felt like royalty being chauffeured in the spacious back seat. I would strongly recommend the 3-hour night tour, as the time flies by as you crisscross the city leisurely enjoying every nook and cranny of Paris while Laurent provides you with some great historical information and points out intricate architectural or historical details that you otherwise would miss. Touring Paris at night is truly magical. The floodlit buildings and twinkling Eiffel Tower lights makes you feel like you're the star of a movie. All three of us raved about this tour the rest of our vacation. We loved everything about it, and have already recommended it to many friends. We will definitely book it again during our next Paris trip. Champagne is optional, and payment for the tour and optional champagne (plus gratuity for excellent service!) is done with cash at the end of the tour. Pick up and drop off can be arranged with your driver, and do not have to be the same place. We were picked up after an early dinner near the Eiffel Tower, and dropped off at the end of the tour at our hotel in the Bastille area. It was very convenient.
I highly recommend this experience!!

We planned this trip for our 25th Anniversary and originally were going to see Moulin Rouge or La Nouvelle Eve. But, Luftansa lost our bags and failed to deliver them for the first 3 days so all of our plans were pretty much ruined by the 3rd day without the clothes we planned on wearing. After waiting for our bags and promised deliveries that never showed up, we decided to book this and go out the next evening no matter what. I'm so glad we did, despite still not having our bags yet.
Laurent was a great driver and had some interesting info to share. Although, I suspect he was probably a little limited when searching for the right words sometimes to convey the message he wanted about some of the sites. I still thought he was great, though. He took pics of us and gave us options of what we could see during our tour.
He picked us up from our hotel right on time and contacted us several times via text before his arrival. His communication and service was terrific.
With his help, we were able to cover more ground in that one night than we had the entire time we spent in Paris. I knew the minute I saw the reviews and the listing that this was what we needed to do and it really was a wonderful outing.
Thanks Laurent!

I love vintage cars, so I thought this would be a fun way to get a privately guided tour on my Birthday! Laurent picked me up promptly at where I’m staying for the week at 9pm. He talked about where we would go and asked what I wanted to see in particular. We had great conversation as we strolled through town... and getting so much attention in this beautiful car. We stopped for pictures and he also took some of me in the car and outside of places. He’s quite the photographer! He really went above and beyond to make the trip enjoyable and educational. I loved learning the history behind everything we saw. I did the 2-hr tour, but would highly recommend the 3-hour, as time flew by! Thanks so much for ending my Birthday evening on such a high note, Laurent!

It is difficult to avoid cliches when describing this experience. However to me, this is truly a memory that will last a lifetime. Laurent, our driver, picked us up at our hotel in a stunning 1938 Citroen motor vehicle that blew my car-loving husband’s mind. Laurent proceeded to take us on a three-hour tour of this beautiful city, with interesting stories and historical anecdotes. Laurent makes it possible to take pictures of the amazing sights and was happy to take photos with us and his incredible vehicle. His photo of my husband and me in front of the iconic Eiffel Tower (with the gorgeous Citroen), will be, THE ONE photo for which we will be remembered. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough.

Surprised my fiancé with this tour, and it could not have been a more magical experience.
Laurent was so informative and so friendly, and he did such a fantastic job tailoring the tour to what we wanted to see! He took our picture at the major sights, and even made filtered versions for me on my phone!
We learned so much about the city—past and present—and had such a good time, it felt like saying good-bye to an old friend when he dropped us back at the hotel.
Laurent, merci beaucoup pour cette journée des plus agréables! Nous vous souhaitons le meilleur dans la vie, personne ne le mérite plus.
It has been a year since we were in Paris, and how the world has changed...I hope this review inspires others to brave travel again. For us, we will return to the City of Lights (and hopefully Laurent and his charming Citroen Colette) just as soon as we are able.
à bientôt!

This trip was one of my favorite parts of our trip to Paris, by far. We were picked up by Abi, our driver, who gave us the option as to which areas of Paris we wanted to see on our two-hour nighttime vintage car tour, with champagne. Bundled in a blanket, under the lights of Paris, Abi drove us like the badass he is, and along the way gave us tips on where to eat, trivia about movie locations, and history you won't find in a tour book. My husband and I knew at some point that we were being treated to an experience that we wouldn't soon forget. Abi is cool dude who drives with a great respect for that beautiful car. Be prepared to be gawked at, and for gods sake get the champagne - it is delicious.

Can we be picked up in one location and dropped off at another? We are looking to be picked up at the airport and dropped off elsewhere for a lunch cruise on the Seine.
Written August 28, 2019
Unfortunately we do not do airport pick up.
The location of the airport is far out of Paris.
However, you can get into a train from the airport to Paris, and we will send our driver to meet you at the nearest train station of your choice.
Please let me know if this works for you

Hello! Looking to book this tour because of all the amazing reviews and photos you were all able to capture! I am looking for feedback on whether you would recommend a day tour or a night tour? Has anyone had experience with doing both or have any thoughts to share? I would also love your feedback on how much time to book. Thank you!
Written May 3, 2019
I agree ☝🏻You can explore in your own during the day. Night time is magical and the whole city is very well-lit.

We are headed to Paris in a couple of weeks and I have read amazing reviews about the tours but I had a few questions about them.
I was wondering what the difference is between the The Eternal Paris by Night tour and the City of Lights Paris by Night tour? Thank you in advance for the help.
