The DBS EXPERIENCE Standard
What a Private Chauffeur Tour of France Is
A private chauffeur tour is a sightseeing journey built entirely around you: no fixed group, no set departure, no rushed timetable. DBS EXPERIENCE plans the itinerary, drives you in a recent Mercedes or Range Rover, and holds the day from a single operations contact, so you move between Paris landmarks, palaces, vineyards and coastlines at your own pace. Every tour is tailor-made, from a half-day in the city to a week across the regions, and coordinated to the detail, so the only thing asked of you is to enjoy the country passing by.
What this is
Tailor-made, chauffeur-driven sightseeing across Paris and France, in Mercedes and Range Rover vehicles, for private travellers and small groups.
What you get
A bespoke itinerary, a chauffeur who knows the routes and estates, one point of contact, and reservations, tastings or château access coordinated in advance.
What to do next
Send the destinations you have in mind, your dates and party size, and receive a structured itinerary with vehicle and timings, usually within the working day.
Why you can trust it
Founded in 2009, 25,000+ journeys, 98.9% on-time, Transport Licence No. EVTC075180190, issued by the French Ministry of Transport, rated 4.9/5 across 82 verified reviews.
Who we serve

Frequently Asked Questions
Private Chauffeur Tours of Paris & France
Can you arrange a private chauffeur tour at short notice?
Yes. Our operations desk runs 24/7 with a response time within the hour. With a fleet of 25-plus vehicles held in Paris, we regularly confirm same-week itineraries to Versailles, Giverny, Champagne and further afield, to the same standard as a tour planned weeks ahead. For an urgent request, WhatsApp is the fastest channel.
Are your vehicles comfortable for a full day of touring, and how is luggage handled?
Every tour is driven in a recent Mercedes or Range Rover, matched to your party and the distance, with room for luggage on longer journeys. Water, connectivity and a calm, quiet cabin are standard, so a full day between sights or a multi-day journey stays restful from the first collection to the last drop-off.
Is the service confidential, and can chauffeurs sign an NDA?
Discretion is the foundation of the service. Names, destinations and in-car conversations remain confidential, and our chauffeurs work to a confidentiality standard as a matter of course. For private clients, principals and family travel, we sign non-disclosure agreements on request and follow your protocols.
Do you offer electric or hybrid vehicles for tours?
Yes. Hybrid and electric options are available on request within our fleet of 25-plus vehicles, where range and itinerary allow, so guests can travel with a lighter footprint while keeping an executive standard for the day.
Do your chauffeurs guide the tour, and are entrance tickets included?
Our chauffeurs know the routes, the estates and the country roads, and share practical local knowledge along the way. They are professional chauffeurs rather than licensed lecture guides; where a certified guide, château access, tastings or restaurant reservations are wanted, we coordinate them in advance. Entrance fees and meals are arranged on request and quoted separately.
