Clement was an amazing tour guide. He picked us up from the hotel and drove us to places we wanted to see at night. We made it just in time for 9pm when the Eiffel Tower was going to sparkle. He helped us take pictures with it in the background. During our drive he shared history and interesting details about Paris. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Paris because it helps you see the beauty of this city during the night.

Outstanding activity, a truly vintage experience. Driving around Paris at night in a vintage car was the highlight of our visit. The pickup was smooth and the driver/guide was very friendly. He took some amazing photos of ours as well, and made sure we were comfortable. What a lovely way to spend the evening. Highly recommended.
