Planning Your Paris Layover Tour from CDG or Orly
Our Paris layover tours from CDG and Orly Airports are planned around your flight times and the time available between connections. Whether you have time for a short Paris tour from the airport or a longer layover including a Seine cruise, Eiffel Tower lunch or Versailles, we will help you choose an itinerary that allows sufficient time for the return journey and airport formalities.
For a Paris layover tour from Charles de Gaulle Airport, journey times into central Paris can vary considerably depending on traffic. Orly Airport is closer to central Paris, so the time available for sightseeing may be different even with a similar connection time.

Other layover itineraries may be possible if you have a longer connection, including a guided Louvre visit, Paris & Versailles in a full day, or a tour adapted to particular interests. Send us you flight details and let us know what you would like to see. We will advise what is possible within the time available.
