Admire Paris’ most famous landmarks during a panoramic city bus tour, followed by a one-hour scenic cruise along the Seine and climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower with priority access. It is the ideal way to explore Paris for the first time.
Paris City Tour, Seine Cruise & Eiffel Tower

Gaze at Paris’ top sights including Place Vendôme, the Opera House, Luxembourg Palace and Gardens, the Pantheon, Orsay Museum, Place de la Concorde, the Champs-Elysées, the Arc de Triomphe and Les Invalides.
Once you get off the coach, you’ll head to the water and embark on one of the legendary Bateaux Parisiens for a one-hour scenic cruise down the Seine.
