Private service — Paris
Multilingual Guides
A cultural guide on board, in French, English, Spanish or Japanese, to deepen every visit.
About this service
A service shaped around you
For clients who wish to go beyond the standard tourist visit, Palatium Paris offers the services of an accredited guide-lecturer fluent in French, English, Spanish or Japanese as required. Guide and chauffeur work as a coordinated pair, providing a cultural immersion both on board and on site.
The service adapts to every configuration: a family on an educational journey, an international delegation, a couple wishing to deepen their understanding of art or history. The guide prepares the content in advance according to your interests and can engage during museum visits, at heritage sites or from the vehicle during transfers between stops.

Frequently asked questions
Good to know
Which languages are available?
Our guides work in French, English and Spanish as standard. Japanese is available on request, with a longer lead time for booking. Other languages can be arranged for larger groups.
Can the guide lead commentary inside museums?
Yes. Our guides are accredited to operate in the principal Parisian museums — the Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay and Versailles among others. They are fully versed in the specific rules of each institution.
Is this service suitable for children?
Absolutely. On request, the guide tailors his or her delivery, pace and examples to a younger audience, making the visit both instructive and engaging.
Can a guide be booked for a half day only?
Yes, from three hours. For half-day sessions, we recommend focusing the programme on a single site or theme to make the most of the time available.
