We had a fantastic sunrise bike tour. Unique, up-close views of the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre without the crowds, and a lovely time biking along the Seine.

Paris, before the crowds
Private Paris sunrise tour
The landmarks to yourselves, a guide who knows the quiet streets, and breakfast while everyone else is still queuing for coffee.
While the rest of Paris sleeps
Uncrowds runs private sunrise tours of Paris for up to six people. You and your group explore the city's landmarks, by bike or on foot, in the quiet hours before the tour buses arrive. About two and a half hours, your group only, from €250, ending with a French breakfast.

The exact spot at sunrise, and the same spot at midday. Drag to compare.
No crowds
- No crowds. Just the landmark.
- A guide for your group alone
- Home before the tour buses arrive
The crowds
- Chaotic and impersonal
- Guide with a flag and a megaphone
- Checked the box, felt nothing
Why sunrise, why private
We start between 6:30 and 8:30, depending on the season and the sunrise. Because the tour is private, you choose the time that suits your group. You get the empty plazas and the early light, and you are back before the tour buses arrive.
Private means your group only. One guide, your pace, no strangers, no flag to follow. Your guide carries the local stories and takes your photos along the way.

What do guests say?
What an outstanding way to see places without throngs of people. An excellent guide, and I learned many new things at every stop. Espresso and croissant after the tour was superb.
A perfect Parisian morning. Capturing the key sites before the crowds was invaluable. My family and I would highly recommend this tour.

Jeremy Your guide
I wish I could have had Jeremy walking around with me the entire time I was in Paris. He was so knowledgeable and shared so much about the sites and Parisian life, with great pop-culture references alongside the history.

Herbert Your guide
Herbert provided a brilliant experience, he is extremely knowledgeable about all things French and specifically Parisian. His quirky sense of humour makes his commentary and observations highly entertaining as well as informative.

Questions, answered
The last few things guests ask before they book.
What makes a private tour different from a group tour?
Private tours are for your group only, with a personal guide, flexible start times, and the option of hotel pickup. You see the landmarks without other tourists around.
Can I choose my start time?
Yes. Tours run between 6:30 and 8:30 depending on the season, and because they are private you choose the time that suits your group.
Bike or walking, which should I choose?
The bike covers more ground, the Eiffel Tower through to Notre-Dame and Les Invalides, and suits active travelers. The walk is a calmer route through the center ending with breakfast, and suits families or anyone who would rather not cycle.
How many people can join?
Up to six. For larger groups we still run it privately, just reach out.
Are the tours suitable for children?
Yes. Walking and Montmartre from age 6, biking from age 13.
Can I customise the itinerary?
Yes. Share your must-see spots and we arrange the route around them where we can.
Do you offer hotel pickup?
Yes, as a paid extra within Paris. Your guide meets you and transfers with you to the start point.
Will my guide take photos?
Yes. Your guide takes photos of your group at the empty landmarks along the way.
What if the weather is bad?
Tours run rain or shine, and we adapt the route. In extreme weather, for the group's safety we may cancel with a full refund.
What is your cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 48 hours before. Between 24 and 48 hours, 50 percent. Under 24 hours, non-refundable.
How far in advance should I book?
Up to 24 hours before, though we recommend two weeks ahead in peak season.
Bigger group? We handle everything.
