taken from
parisinfo.com " —or in other words how to tour Paris in the comfortable backseat of a chauffeur-driven 2CV convertible — is an original way to discover the French capital. Choose from themed visits with their highly evocative titles: “Eternal Paris”, “Cinema Paris”, “Paris by Night”, “Garden Paris”…; its “Little extras” (Paris Weekend » and « Gourmet Paris »), and its à la carte walks for all occasions. " It is a little on the expensive side: outings for 1 hour is 54 euros a person, and for a 3 hour tour it is 83 euros for person. Guess, these are gas guzzlers!
Or how about Paris by a tandem (like those taxis we see in Indian movies?).
A modern tricycle powered by electricity so at least you are visiting Paris eco-friendly! 30 minutes = 25 euros, but you have an guide who is dedicated to you and your questions!
Or another eco-friendly idea is
ecovisitparis.com, a tour of Paris in a Prius; not only do you see the tourist attractions, but also a look at Paris's green areas! starting price is 80 euros, they even provide services to and from the airport.
Checking out Paris by bus is cheap, especially when it is the transit system. The down/up side is there is no guide telling you all of the highlights, plus it costs only 1,60 for a ride from the starting station to the ending station. Check out
ratp.fr at the interactive map to see all the bus lines! You will be surprised how much you can see!
