Sally’s Guided Tours In Paris

Your Great Days in Paris gets independent travelers to get to their best in and around Paris—carefully considering their interests, travel-styles and budgets through advising, coaching, our own intimately scaled tours, our articles and e-guides, and our ability to match you with superb custom guides to book as you choose.

If you prefer expertly guided, small-group travel, Your Great Days in Paris leads acclaimed guided culinary and other specialty tours in France. Our great-value tours are always intimately sized, ten guests or less, and have knowledgeable leaders.  Our tours offer a rare chance to see, experience, sample and savor both on and off the beaten path.  We love French culture and enjoy sharing our favorite places, people, and experiences that make Paris so delightfully special.

You’ll see our new Getaways for ‘Girlfriends’ here too.  These are a little different than our week long guided tours.  They are pre-designed, flexible, day-long Paris-immersion experiences led by our in-Paris colleagues that can be scheduled as you wish all year round.
