FAQs

What makes Savor Paris different from other luxury travel companies?
A few things! Our passion for food means that many of our itineraries have a gastronomic focus. If you're the sort of traveller who plans meals first and everything else second, we're the tour company for you. 

But that's not all! After decades of living and working in Paris, we've got a plethora of details that will make your trip seamless. We've got the weird opening hours of museums on lock (plus the secret entrances that make it easy to skip the line). And since we know the geography of Paris like the back of our hand (or, as the French would say, like the inside of our pocket), you won't waste valuable time zig-zagging across the city to try to see everything.

Combine our deep local expertise and passion with a warm, personal touch, and Savor Paris reveals itself as the ideal company for those looking to discover more than surface-level Paris.

What does a typical Savor Paris day look like?
We tailor each itinerary to your goals, interests, and tastes. But we know that it can be tough to imagine what that looks like! Each of our packages includes an easy-to-use PDF itinerary laced with Google Maps to help you navigate neighborhoods that are of interest. Here's an example of what a day in your trip might look like:

A typical Parisian day begins, of course, at the bakery. Grab a croissant from one of the bakeries Emily and Charlotte have (painstakingly!) earmarked as a gem, and grab an excellent craft coffee from a coffee shop doing things right. Enjoy your spoils in one of the city's most picturesque parks before embarking on a self-guided walking tour of the Latin Quarter. Follow your easy-to-use Google Map to discover nearly-lost Roman ruins, peek into the gorgeous hotel that would be Oscar Wilde's last address, and pay a visit to the grande doyenne of the contemporary English literary scene. 

For lunch, dine in one of Paris' few remaining truly Auvergnat bistros, snag one of our favorite sandwiches to enjoy in the sunshine, or waltz over to a coveted table at one of the only restaurants in the city where the food is as good as the view. 

Once your hunger is sated, it's time to fill up on art. Wander over to the Louvre, where, if you opt for our Gourmand package, you'll be able to flash your tickets and skip the line. Meet your guide – or guide yourself using our handy Louvre self-guided tour – and embark on a discovery of the biggest stars of the city's largest museum. Discuss your favorites over a selection of some of France's most delicious cheeses and wines, either on your own or with Emily, aka "That Cheese Girl."

Is the Savor Paris team based in Paris?
Yes—we've lived and worked in Paris year-round for a combined 20+ years. Our on-the-ground insight gives us access to experiences you won’t find in a guidebook.

Who will I be working with?
You'll work directly with either Emily or Charlotte, as well as our trusted local partners. We know that a trip to Paris is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we take the time to understand your vision and make it real. 

How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking as early as possible to ensure the availability of a choice of restaurant reservations, event tickets, and guided tours. That said, we're happy to assist with last-minute requests whenever possible!

Can I use your trip planning services without booking a food or walking tour?
Yes! Our variety of packages make it easy for you to mix and match the services you need. Whether you're looking for a few à la carte tours or a full, turnkey itinerary, we're here to offer you the Paris experience you seek.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions or special requests?
Absolutely! From dietary preferences to mobility accommodations, we offer accessible, safe, pleasurable tours for all.

Do you only work with luxury hotels and restaurants?
Not at all. We specialize in high-quality experiences and customize everything based on your style and tastes, whether that's five-star luxury or charming hidden gems.

How much do your services cost?
Our trips are personalized and bespoke, so pricing varies depending on your request. We have three different packages available, and we're happy to provide a transparent quote after a quick discovery consultation.
