Paris has a way of settling into your heart, and our Rick Steves Best of Paris in 7 Days Tour showed us just how unforgettable the city can be. It was our first guided adventure, but after everything we experienced, it certainly won’t be our last.

We’re thankful for the little things that made the week feel effortless and extraordinary: watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle from our hotel window, staying in a charming and impeccably clean hotel with kind staff, and being based in a location that made every corner of the city feel within reach. We loved the perfect balance of structured time and freedom to wander, the expertise of guides who brought history to life, and the joy of exploring Paris alongside a small group that quickly felt like friends.

And then there are the moments we’ll carry with us: masterpieces of art and soaring architecture, the nightly glow of the Eiffel Tower, the taste of good food and even better wine, the quiet awe inside cathedrals, the colors of stained glass, the hum of street‑side cafés, the scent of flower shops, and the simple pleasure of walking Parisian streets with no agenda at all.

These memories are an invitation...an open door to a city that rewards curiosity, celebrates beauty, and welcomes you into its rhythm. Paris isn’t just a place to visit; it’s a place to feel, savor, and return to again and again.
