This tour is very helpful when you have limited time to see Paris. You see all the highlights of Montmartre and the Louvre. A bus takes you from the Cityrama office at Rue des Pyramides to Montmartre. You take a short walk up a hill to get the flavor of the area. We passed through Place du Tertre (although it would have been nice to stop for a bite to eat since there are many bistros around the square), stopped at Basilica of Sacré-Coeur and saw the spectacular view of Paris from the street (I would have liked to climb the stairs and see the view from the top, but the tour did not provide time for this), we rode the Funiculaire to the bottom of the hill where the bus picked us up and took us to the Louvre. We passed each of the glass pyramids. I had no idea that there is a shopping mall beneath the street level. Apparently, as they were excavating to create this area of the Louvre, they discovered considerable medieval remains of the castle that occupied this site. This has been made part of the museum. The tour guide took us through the history of the Louvre starting with this castle. It was fascinating. She then proceeded to take us to the Venus de Milo, Winged Victory, and Mona Lisa. Along the way to each of these works of art, she would discuss the architecture of the building and the works of art that we passed. The tour ends at the Mona Lisa and you are free to tour the Louvre on your own. This tour was very worthwhile and I recommend it.
