About this experience

Experience a guided tour that combines access to the Eiffel Tower and a Seine River cruise. Participants can choose between summit or 2nd floor entry to the Eiffel Tower for panoramic views of Paris. The tour includes a cruise past notable landmarks such as Notre-Dame, the Louvre, and the Musée d’Orsay, with a multilingual audio guide available to enhance understanding of the sites along the UNESCO-listed Banks of the Seine. The cruise departs from a location near the Eiffel Tower, and the cruise ticket is flexible, allowing use either before or after the Eiffel Tower visit. The ticket remains valid for up to one year. The tour is suitable for those interested in iconic Parisian views and landmarks, but may not be ideal for individuals who prefer a more independent exploration or have mobility issues. Note that if summit access is chosen, the participant must proceed to the summit by elevator on their own prior to the cruise.
