We Are Simply Top When it Comes to Private Events — Tours Tailored to You with a Laidback, Wanderlust Vibe
We are first and foremost curators of what Paris is about — you’ll find us most days researching the newest best croissant or writing about something happening in the madcap world of French culture. Therefore, we may have limited availability for public tours.
However, we would love to meet you in Paris to share our city with you so if you have a request which cannot be accommodated by our published calendar of availability, then please do not hesitate to message us with the form below or at hello@curiosity-collective.com .
You can easily book any event that does not have anyone else booked on it as a private event from our Booking page, or, contact us via email at hello@curiosity-collective.com with the dates of your visit, events that caught your eye, and group size, and we’ll get in touch to craft an event to remember. Or, simply fill out the form below and we’ll get back to you within a few days.

Not one for normally writing reviews, but that was incredible! Blown away by the price and quality of the cycle tour - 100% recommend. The cycle was accessible and the tour guide Kat was super knowledgeable!
Usama A. — Riyadh
I had the pleasure to take this tour with Kat, she is insanely energetic, well-informed, and enthusiastic all the tour around.
She gave so much attention to details with solid historical background about Paris.
All in all, she exceeded our expectations as the best tour we had in Paris so far.

This was our second tour of the Eiffel Tower with The Curiosity Collective, with different family members the second time around. We loved the experience! The tour started with meeting at Cave Vino Sapiens, sharing champagne, local cheeses and "get to know you" conversation with other guests and our hostess. Great way to break the ice with fellow tour-goers! On both of our tours, our hostesses were charismatic and very knowledgeable, sharing interesting stories and the history of the Tower. The Curiosity Collective's tour also allowed for "front of the line" access, which saved waiting in long queues. Highly recommend this tour!
Carly P. — Brisbane
This was an absolutely incredible experience! Seven of us from totally different walks of life in a cozy room with Miguel sharing stories and drinking wine! Miguel was so knowledgeable and fun to talk to. A 11/10 experience for sure.
Aisha A. — Dubai
One of the only tours my mother and I took on this trip and it was well worth it! Our tour guide Cameron was such a personable character that you feel as if you've known him for years, which is refreshing considering the temperament of the city's locals. Great at keeping on schedule, Cameron kept the day moving at a reasonable pace while still being comfortable. Really enjoyed the meeting spot, Cave Vino Sapiens, the atmosphere and the staff working there had such a vibrant energy paired with a wonderful spread of cheese, meats and of course, breakfast champagne! Loved hearing the history behind this famous monument that rarely gets told, and the protection from scammers below was much appreciated. In all, one of the highlights of our trip and a perfect start to my birthday! Thanks Cameron <3
Linda R. — Colorado
Maarten was great!!! What a wonderful experience at the Eiffel Tower! Magical! I canât imagine touring the Eiffel Tour with anyone else! Maarten seems to know everything about the Eiffel Tower and surrounding Paris. He added so much to our experience! Also, so fun to meet for drinks and food before going to the Tower. Thank you Curiosity Collective for a wonder experience!!!
Allison W. — San Francisco
Marie was fantastic! She was so knowledgeable not just about the history of the Eiffel Tower but also the âinsider tipsâ to make sure we got through quickly and efficiently. It felt like we were with a good friend or our Parisian cousin rather than a tour guide. Everyone should do this to truly experience the Eiffel Tour!
Starr J. — San Francisco
Marie was an excellent host. Very much appreciated the thoughtful champagne selection and snacks (able to accommodate Vegans and Vegetarians) along with historical points about the Eiffel Tower. Skipped the line smoothly. The experience felt like we were hanging out with a good friend. Would definitely recommend!
Jaqcueline — NJ
This was really wonderful. The food was amazing obviously, but the information was so fascinating. My favorite part of our trip to Paris!
Stephanie N. — Alabama
This was an amazing experience and we will never forget it. We will definitely be recommending it to all our friends.
Erica N.– Nashville
Incredible wine, delicious cheese in a very unique location! Fun party vibes with generous pours.
Grace R. — New Zealand
Interesting and insightful afternoon with healthy amounts of wine and cheese! Would recommend this to everyone. Miguel was a brilliant host who allowed us to chat and have fun but also gave us the important facts of each wine and cheese. Brilliant!
Carlos J– Guatemala City
The best experience we had between Madrid, London and Paris. Marie was an amazing guide, very friendly and patient. We met unique places, the food very special and the tour amazing. Totally okay. 100% recommended.
Bridget C. — Phoenix
My partner and I are winemakers from Arizona. We were looking for some guidance on French wines, and we got exactly that! We had an amazing time in the Cave with Miguel and our new friends. Highly recommend!!
Nikhil P. — L.A.
So friendly and wonderful. Her knowledge of the history was great and the stories were fascinating. We loved our experience and ate lots of yummy treats đ I def recommend exploring cities with locals; especially when they love their city and want to share it with others đ„°
Marie M. — Indiana, US
Marie was our wonderful guide. She was very knowledgeable and fun to be with. We covered a lot of ground at a comfortable pace and felt well taken care of. An incredible experience! Highly recommend!
George S. — Salt Lake City
We had the best day with Marie. Despite being a little cold outside, we explored Paris, ate incredible food, learned so much about the city and its history, and overall had an incredible time. Highly recommend! Thank you again Marie.
Steven and Lori R. — Thousand Oaks, CA
Didnât know what to really expect and went in with an open mind and was blown away by Marieâs knowledge. Loved discovering local shops and hearing stories behind each stop. Had teenage boys on the trip with us and Marie kept them engaged and shared interesting pieces of history and trivia that kept them interested. Such a delightful day, even in the unpredictable spring weather. Rain or shine, the tour is perfect.
Suzey N.– Toronto
Such a wonderful and informative evening, while still being very relaxed. Felt like spending an evening with new friends; highly recommend for other solo travellers.
Eliza T. — Adelaide
This is the perfect way to spend your first day in Paris. Marie was so sweet and we enjoyed getting to see the âinside tourâ of Paris. The wine and cheese lunch was our highlight along with the bike tour along the Seine. If youâre on the fence - do it!
Lisa L. –Chicago
Our private tour with Marie was absolutely unforgettable; 8 of us took this tour on my birthday, and Marie not only gave us personalized attention, she told all the vendors it was my special day and they gave us special treats, too!
Everything is delicious, though, and we all truly felt engaged and well taken care of! Highly recommend for exploring the neighborhood, discovering your new, favorite French dessert and bonding with your group or tour mates. Must do!
Renee P. — London
'We had such an amazing time here! Our sommelier was so engaging and had such an amazing sense of humor. He made us laugh all night and encouraged all of us to interact with one another. The wine and cheese selections were memorable! Very unique and very delicious. I would not recommend eating before heading here. They are not stingy with wine nor cheese. We had great company and an amazing experience. We would definitely come back!'
Antonio N. — Guatemala
'We had an awesome time with our guide Pauline, she made us feel very welcome to the city, felt like true Parisians for a couple of hours and learned a lot about it.'
Megs M. — San Francisco
'I had high expectations for this tour but this deeply exceeded them. This was the highlight of our Paris trip and I canât recommend it enough!! '
Bhavish G. — San Francisco
'I've done 4 tours in Paris and this is by far the best. Do not miss this tour. Exceptional food, great stories, and incredibly relaxing rather than exhausting.'
