My wife and I took a Paris tour on a Sunday in a Citroën 2CV. We combined this car tour with a photo shoot, using a photographer that was arranged by Cedric. Cedric was able to accommodate our request for an early morning tour (better light for photographs) and Cedric's brother Chris actually did the drive.
We were very pleased with the extraordinary service we received from Cedric: our requests for an unusual package were handled quickly and without issue. The drive was a hoot and the early morning Sunday time meant traffic was quite light (I recommend you take a driving tour like this on a weekend morning if you can). Chris took us to places we would never have found on our own and in fact we returned to some of them for a deeper exploration in the following days. Overall, just a great experience.
I will offer some thoughts on the vehicle. The 2CV is a minimalist car: don't try and cram three people (plus the driver) into it. Further, the top of the car slopes down towards the trunk which means that the head room is somewhat (but not terribly) limited in the rear. This issue does, however, mean that taller individuals may have a hard time seeing past the horizontal from the rather short rear windows: I'm just under 6' (1.8m) and had difficulty craning my neck to see the top of some buildings as we passed close by [my 5' 4" wife didn't know what I was complaining about, however! ;-) ]. But these were issues with the car, not the tour, and frankly the car is so funky that it was worth this minor hassle (9 million Frenchmen can't be wrong...).
Bottom line we received helpful advice and accommodating service before the tour, and a tour itself that introduced many parts of Paris we wouldn't have found on our own, delivered by a cheery and knowledgeable driver. Spend the money: it's worth it.

Awesome review! Thank you so much. You're totally right about the view in the back ans that's why the convertible top makes the whole difference plus it's quite easy to stand up in the car using that bar above your head. Great for photos.
Merci!

We did the Secret Paris Tour in the morning. Our driver was terrific. He was knowledgeable about the history and current culture of Paris. We covered a lot of ground in our 2 hour tour complete with a bottle of champagne. People waved and smiled as they saw us drinking champagne while touring in this Citroen. The small car was able to navigate the narrow streets of the Latin quarter. It was a lot of fun.

My husband and I landed in Paris and a few hours later Christopher picked us up for our tour. We had been to Paris before. Christopher was so accommodating. He showed us things we had never seen and customized the tour to see things that we were curious about. It got us re-acclimated to Paris. Loved it and highly recommend!!

My niece was not only going on her first trip to Paris this year, she was also going to celebrate her twentieth birthday in the city. What I wanted most for her was not just to see Paris, but to discover, embrace and feel it in her core. Well mission accomplished and I’m pretty sure what sealed the deal, was our night tour of Paris in a vintage 2CV with Cedric’s Paris.
I contacted Cedric prior to our arrival. Replies were not only prompt, they were engaging. I got the sense that Cedric and his team were fully committed to providing a tour catered to the interests of their clients. Originally I had wanted to book the “Secret Paris” tour. When I mentioned the tour day would be on my niece’s birthday, Cedric recommended the night tour as it was near Christmas and, as he said, Paris is magical at night, especially at this time of year. And right he was. He even reserved two dates for us in case it rained saying that if we went the day before my niece’s birthday, we could pull up to the Eiffel Tower at midnight when it sparkles to welcome that twentieth birthday.
Well tour day came and what had been a beautiful sunny day turned into a misty and sometimes very rainy night. Our tour guide, the knowledgeable, charming and engaging Christopher (Cedric’s brother) contacted me to check if we wanted to postpone our three hour tour to the next day. We decided to forge ahead despite the weather and are so glad we did. Sure, sometimes the views were obscured and the 2CV top was closed, but on a Sunday night, in the mist and rain, the beauty of Paris was enhanced and more importantly, it was ours.
Waiting outside our hotel, we finally saw her making her way down the street promptly at 21:00. It was CV2 Youna, in glorious, glistening and vintage appropriate summer grass green. I saw my niece give me the side eye, but a huge smile soon took over. Out popped guide Christopher who immediately informed us that we were in charge of this tour. Anywhere we wanted to go, anytime we wanted to stop, have a look or take a picture, he was at our disposable. He also came equipped with two very chic umbrellas. And in case there are concerns, the back seat of the CV2 is surprisingly roomy.
Aside from requesting a tour of the Sorbonne area, we left ourselves to Christoper’s expertise and are very happy we did. There was something about being at street level in the CV2 that made Paris ours. We squeezed through some of the narrowest streets of Paris on Île Saint-Louis and Île de la Cité where, no tour bus dares to drive Checked out the area behind Notre Dame had a look at where the clergy of The Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris reside. With minimal traffic at Place de l’Opéra, we stopped to admire and photograph the Palais Garnier. As we made our way to Montmartre, Youna (with Christopher guiding) handled the steep terrain with ease, approaching Sacre Coeur from the back. Turning the corner, Place de Tetre, usually filled with tourists, was empty and we walked into Sacre Coeur with ease taking in its ambiance. And so it went throughout the night as we explored the City of Light until finally, close to midnight, we made our way to the “secret spot” near the Eiffel Tower. At the stroke of midnight it began to sparkle and we brought in my niece’s twentieth birthday. It was magic.
Christopher was a phenomenal guide. Warm and engaging, he was knowledgeable and full of information (both factual and anecdotal). His enthusiasm was contagious. He brought along his tablet to fill in any information gaps or add historical references. He entertained us with his witty repartie and gave us recommendations for sites, hidden squares, shops and restaurants. We followed up on many of them in our remaining days in Paris. I must also add, Christopher is an excellent photographer.
Don’t hesitate to book any tour with Cedric’s Paris. Even if the CV2 top is down, you will not only have fun, you will also be rewarded with a street level experience that goes beyond any guide book.

My husband and I did a 3 hour tour around Paris with Cedric in December. It was cool but he had plenty of blankets and Champagne to keep us warm. We had both been to Paris a few times and have seen all the sights. We wanted a tour of areas we haven't seen and some we wanted to see again. Cedric picked us up at our hotel and he was early which I appreciated. We spent a good 5-10 minutes customizing our trip. Cedric gave a number of great suggestions before we chose our path. We were underway and the 3 hours went by in seconds. We changed up our trip half way through and Cedric couldn't have been more accommodating. Of all the tours in all the cities in the world we have taken, this one was our favorite. I can't recommend Cedric enough. From start to finish Cedric made it easy. Booking was so easy and his regular communication was great. A MUST IN PARIS!!!

One of the best experiences I've ever had in Paris.
A two hour (and no it's not too long) casual drive in a Green Citron 2CV around Paris, looking at all the sites, plenty of hidden gems and a fantastic bottle of chilled Champagne thrown in for good measure.
Our driver/company partner Chris couldn't have done a better job. We changed our pick up point 1 hour before we were due to meet and this was no problem. Chris's knowledge of the City is very impressive, be it, history, art or personalities.
He tailored the trip to us and asked us where we would like to go, if there's anywhere we would like to stop and he was full of great recommendations for our lunch after the tour. He also dropped us at our restaurant.
The highlights include a wonderful stop at Place Vendôme where we opened the Champagne, The none tourist route to Montmartre, a full history of the bridges of central Paris and for me Chris was more than happy to show me a wonderful area where all the guitar shops are located.
To finish, the tour was great. The champagne was great. Chris and his Citron 2CV Great.
Do it. You'll love it........OH and Cedric Tours are the only company not to have advertising on their cars.

Cedric was one of the first people I contacted on trip advisor regarding my plans to visit Paris. He always answered in a timely manner with emails. There was no doubt that I wanted to do this night time tour. We had Cedric's brother Chris tour us in his vintage CV "Yuna". This was by far one of the highlights of our trip in France. We saw such beautiful sites including the light show of Effiel. There are no advertisements on the car so you never feel like a tourist. Chris was great explaining everything and taking his time letting us walk about Montmartre hill and the church. I will never forget this night. A true treat with A++++ service
And best of all proceeds help orphans of firefighters. God speed guys xoxo

Our first night in Paris was made perfect with a three hour, champagne night tour hosted by Romain in his beautiful, yellow 2CV, Juliet. Romain picked us up promptly at our hotel and over the next few hours showed us the major sites as well as some lesser known, yet very interesting ones also. He was professional and knowledgeable yet friendly, funny and a pleasure to meet. This tour is a great way to start your time in Paris as it orients you for your other explorations. Many thanks to Romain!

Our tour guide was Christopher and he was wonderful. My daughter is a ballerina and I decided to do a urban ballerina photo shoot around Paris. Christopher was so accommodating, he took us to more behind the scene spots so that we didn't have to deal with large crowds in our pictures. We were able to accomplish an amazing shoot, plus see the beauty of Paris while learning a few history facts. I highly recommend this personal tour for when you first arrive, It will help you get your bearings for the remainder of your trip while getting beautiful pictures.

We booked with Cedric's after a lot of research . We're big travellers and have high expectations - good on one hand but then few experiences tend to surpass our hopes. These guys are the real deal. On every level. Extremely efficient. Totally focussed on the customer as an individual. Knowledgeable, super funny and caring. We booked the less traditional tour to get a sense of what we might miss on a week's trip but Christopher our lovely guide customised it on the day to build in specific parts of the old city we wanted to see and then dropped us off at a specific shopping point we (I) wanted to visit.
It felt like an old friend driving us around and was truly the highlight of our week (and we did some amazing things). Christopher, you are a wonderful guy and a true ambassador for your business and the amazing city that is Paris. There aren't enough superlatives to describe our time!
We spent two hours with Christopher and it was perfect. We did it on our first day to get our bearings and gave us the perfect heads up for the rest of the week for where we wanted to revisit (and what we wanted to miss!). Tip - take a street map and pen so you can mark down places you want to revisit and orient yourself as you go.
I don't leave reviews of places unless they go way (way) beyond expectations so believe me when I say these guys are special.
If you do one thing in Paris, it's this. The best money you'll spend on your trip.
To Christopher, Cedric and the team, our love and thoughts are with you at this horrific time. Stay safe, stay strong. XX

Dear all,
Thank you all for responding so quickly to Chad's request. Fortunately Chad was able to send me an email directly and we were able to take it from there.
Chad,
I know we finally didn't get to meet your daughter and give her a good souvenir of Paris since you decided to fly her home (I would've done the same) but I'm hoping she's feeling better now.
Kind regards from Paris,
Cédric

Bonjour!
I'm sorry for the delay in my response but as this is only the 6th question in over 4 years on Trip Advisor I tend to forget to check this question page...oups!
Our vintage cars can only take up to three passengers + driver so you would have to split into two groups of six. But both cars would stay together the whole time of course. We would even make several stops to take photos all together. Plus you can take photos of your friends in the other car while driving which makes really nice and fun photos!
We're looking forward to hearing from you and again please accept our apologies for the delay.
You can contact us directly via our website or our email address.
Kind regards,
Cédric
