Going Underground: Discovering the Paris Metro

Travelling on a city’s public transport system can be a daunting prospect. Not anymore! You’ll be able to get around like a local after you’ve taken the Metro orientation tour. A two-hour jaunt around the Paris Metro, guide on hand to show you the in’s and out’s, it's uniqueness, and it's beauty. You’ll be shown stations, many unique with art nouveau stylings. Unusual platform designs and occasionally taken above ground to see some of Paris’s best streets and sights. With your full day Metro ticket in hand, you can continue exploring after the tours finished. Well, why not? You now feel like a local, and you might discover something else?

About your guide: 

For Meeting the French, touring the Eiffel tower is 'old school'. They don't herd you onto a bus and have you driven to the famous sights. Oh no, they focus on intimate and original experiences which celebrate the French lifestyle and culture, helping you to see the real Paris. The city they call home.

Here’s the plan… 

You’ll be met at the Palais Royal Metro entrance where you’ll be taken down into the depths of the Paris Metro for a two-hour orientation tour. Say goodbye to feeling confused when travelling the Metro, and hello to feeling like a local.

Your guide will show you some of the city’s unique and artistic stations. Like your Art Nouveau? Then you’ll see Paris's famous art nouveau styled stations and grand station entrances. Kiosque des Noctambules station being an excellent example, we won't reveal all to you now, that'll spoil the fun! You’ll also be shown the unique platform designs and taken back up onto the streets to see the best sights in Paris.

Going underground has never felt like such fun. Also as you're getting a full-day metro ticket, you can continue exploring long into the evening.
