Here, you will have views that rival the one from the top of the Eiffel Tower.

Your guide will lead you on an impeccable tour of the museum’s most prized pieces of art. You will then continue to the Musee d’Orsay, which hosts a fascinating collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art. The renowned museum is situated inside the former Gare d’Orsay railway station and represents the beauty of Belle Époque architectural style and displays works by master artists, such as Degas, Manet, and Renoir.

Paris – Private Cooking Lesson

The remarkable complex encompasses more than 721,180 square feet and became the center for monarchical politics in 1682. You will have the luxury of touring this vast complex with an expert guide. Afterward, you will return to Paris and partake in one of the most celebrated aspects of Parisian life: the cuisine. Your cooking class will begin with learning about the proper techniques of French gastronomy.

You will have time to relax in the comforts of your luxury accommodation before a private guide greets you in the lobby for a tour of the ancient wonders of Rome. As the sun sets over the Seven Hills of Rome, you will wander through the Forum, which was the center of ancient social, political, and commercial life. After sunset, you continue into the depths of the Colosseum for an exclusive after-hours tour of the 1st century AD amphitheater.

Rome – Treasures of the Vatican

In the morning, the bars around Rome will fill with locals who sip espresso and enjoy the sweet, flakiness of a cornetto , which is an Italian croissant. You will make your way to St. Peter’s Square and meet your guide near the central obelisk. Your guide will lead you on a comprehensive tour of the grounds. The impressive dome of St. Peter’s Basilica adds to the sensational skyline of the city’s church spires, bell towers, and tiled rooftops. You will then have a pasta-making class in the afternoon, which will teach you the difference between the types of pasta, including the specific noodles that are eaten in Rome and the greater Lazio region versus other areas of Italy.

Rome – Monuments of Rome

In the morning, you will venture to the Spanish Steps during your private monuments tour of Rome. After you climb the Spanish Steps and take in the views, you will walk to the nearby Trevi Fountain and continue your tour of the open-air museum of Rome’s monuments.  After discovering the indelible wonder of the fountains, piazzas, and the Pantheon, you will reach the gates of Villa Farnesina in the neighborhood of Trastevere. The complex retains some of the most elaborate frescoes of master artist Raphael, who crafted delicate and bold works that depicted classical and secular myths.

Rome – Departure

The morning light will wash over the Baroque and Renaissance palaces as you reluctantly get out of bed. The scent of espresso will return to the streets and be accompanied by the aroma of freshly baked cornetti .

Detailed Description

Paris and Rome are two cities that are instantly recognizable by their intricate architecture, alluring histories, vibrant heritage, and sensational cuisine. Your 8-day tour of Paris and Rome features the best of the museums, monuments, gastronomy, and neighborhoods that have helped elevate the capital cities to cultural icons.

This grand adventure through Paris and Rome begins with your arrival in the City of Lights. You will have four nights to enjoy and explore the enchanting city, which is emblematic of elegance, romance, and an enduring magnetism. Monuments line the boulevards and lead to sensational museums that house celebrated artists. Visiting the classic sites of Paris encompasses the fabulous views from along the Seine River and a panorama from atop the Eiffel Tower.

You can sample the food by taking a class designed to impart the wisdom of French technique and Parisian flavors. The Louvre Museum connotes an impressive collection of art and artifacts, which spans human civilization. The d’Orsay highlights the unique point of view of artists between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Versailles Palace shimmers with gilded walls and a vast garden that is adorned with powerful fountains.

Rome will lead you into the past with the luxuries of modernity. Vespas wind along the cobblestone streets and gelato shops serve a delicious blend of fruity and decadent flavors. The mix of ruins and vibrant contemporary culture represent the endless rebirth of the city over the millennia, resulting in an ambiance that is perfect for cultural exploration, romance, exciting dining experiences, and artistic discoveries.  The historical legacy of Rome dates back 3,000 years and is reflected in the ruins of the Roman Forum.

The museums boast artwork by Italian masters, and the Colosseum retains a sense of prominent power as the symbol of the city and the ancient empire. Rome entertains with a brilliance that stems from the Vatican Museums to St. Peter’s Basilica and from the Pantheon to the Spanish Steps. You can master the deceptively complex dishes of traditional Roman gastronomy during a private cooking class and bask in the incredible depiction of the allegories Raphael painted inside the Villa Farnesina for the ultimate representation of Rome’s majesty and Paris’ splendor.

Without a doubt, this was the most enjoyable tour we went on during our 5 days in New York. Steven the guide was enthusiastic, entertaining, and very knowledgeable. The tour was 2 hours in length with plenty of opportunities to take photographs and ask questions.

We had a guided tour up the Eiffel Tower by a very charming tour guide called George. It was much better than my previous trip up the tower, which had nowhere near as much information and entertainment. I would definitely do the tour again.

Visiting Rome? A must during your stay in the capital is the Colosseum, an unmissable symbol of ancient Roman life. Also known as the Flavian Amphitheater, its name derives from “colossal” statue of the emperor Nero which once stood outside. Colossal in name, colossal in nature, the Colosseum was in fact the largest amphitheater ever built in the Roman Empire. Thanks to Walks Inside Rome’s Colosseum Tours , you too can experience a complete immersion in the beating heart of ancient Rome, between the underground and the arena of this amphitheater and the spectacular ruins of the Roman Forum . So journey back in time, to the glorious days of a great empire, inside the iconic Colosseum.

The Colosseum: behold the splendor and decay of the past

A great tourist attraction, with more than 7 million visitors a year, the imposing Flavian Amphitheater in 1980 has been declared a World Heritage Site together with the entire historic center of Rome within the city walls in their widest extension.

Considered one of the most famous tourist attractions in the world, the building (86 meters long and 54 meters wide) was built between 70 and 80 AD during the reign of the emperors Vespasian and Titus to accommodate up to 50,000 people ( or even 80,000) . It was used to entertain crowds with gladiator games and animal hunts, which were classic Ancient Roman forms of entertainment. Made of marble and limestone, the structure has since been damaged by earthquakes and various looting but remains an impressive vestige of the magnificence of Ancient Rome.

The Colosseum has 80 entrances and its system of corridors and stairs is still used today as a reference point for the construction of football stadiums. Today, visitors to the Colosseum enter the building from the south side, on the other hand, access is not as fast as in the days of the Roman Empire, it is better to get scheduled entrance ticket reservations .

The Colosseum tour starts on the 2nd floor. The different floors, four in all, were all built in different styles: Doric style for the 1st floor, Ionic style for the 2nd and Corinthian style for the 3rd. The floor of the arena consisted of a wooden floor covered with sand. Below you will see the Hypogeum: a tunnel system where training rooms, wild animal cages and death row prisoners once stood.

Essential visits to penetrate and understand the vestiges and lust of the past

With your local guide, you will explore and learn more about the history of the most famous monument in Rome. They will enthusiastically tell you stories and anecdotes about the people who fought in the arenas and the emperors who ruled them.

Come and experience the private or small group Colosseum Tours of Walks inside Rome, the right way to go for an exciting experience for the whole family.

Guided tour to the Top

The most comprehensive tour.

Enjoy a thrilling trip to the Top and visit the entire Eiffel Tower accompanied by a guide

A tour of the Eiffel Tower is a thrilling and emotional experience. Accompanied by a member of the Eiffel Tower family who is enamored with the monument, you will hear about momentous and everyday moments in its history, and learn more about the life of the Tower and the company that operates it, while visiting all three levels of the Tower.

An unforgettable tour, available in French or English and lasting around 90 minutes, in groups of no more than 12 people! Your Official Eiffel Tower Guide will ensure that everything goes smoothly on your visit while helping you access the different levels, especially the elevators. And to enhance this experience, the Eiffel Tower can offer you outstanding 10% discounts on a selection of products available in the stores (Exclusive Eiffel Tower Collection) and certain restaurants (bistro on the First Floor and the buffet on the esplanade).

Advantages of the guided tour

The tour experience

01: See you on the Esplanade

Meet your guide 15 minutes before the start of the tour at the Official Guided Tours meeting point (don't forget the security checks at the site entrances, which may take 10 to 20 minutes). Your guide will take care of you, and you will benefit from easier access to the Top.

02: Discover how the historic elevators work

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Go beneath the streets on this tour of the spectacular, mind-bending Moscow Metro! Be awed by architecture and spot the Propaganda , then hear soviet stories from a local in the know. Finish it all up above ground, looking up to Stalins skyscrapers, and get the inside scoop on whats gone on behind those walls.

Know More about this tour

We begin our Moscow tour beneath the city, exploring the underground palace of the Moscow Metro. From the Square of Revolution station, famous for its huge statues of soviet people (an armed soldier, a farmer with a rooster, a warrior, and more), we’ll move onto some of the most significant stations, where impressive mosaics, columns, and chandeliers will boggle your eyes! Moreover, these stations reveal a big part of soviet reality — the walls depict plenty of Propaganda , with party leaders looking down from images on the walls. Your local guide will share personal stories of his/her family from USSR times, giving you insight into Russia’s complicated past and present. Then we’re coming back up to street level, where we’ll take a break and refuel with some Russian fast food: traditional pancakes, called bliny. And then, stomachs satiated, we are ready to move forward! We’ll take the eco-friendly electric trolleybus, with a route along the Moscow Garden Ring. Used mainly by Russian babushkas(grannies) during the day, the trolleybus hits peak hours in the mornings and evenings, when many locals use it going to and from their days. Our first stop will be the Aviator’s House, one of Stalin’s Seven Sisters, followed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs — and you’ll hear the legends of what has gone on inside the walls. Throughout your Moscow tour, you’ll learn curious facts from soviet history while seeing how Russia exists now, 25 years after the USSR.

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.
