Reserved-entry Louvre guided visit plus a scenic Seine cruise ticket, timed to your day in Paris and easy to fit for first-timers.

“Excellent Driver, great narration from the prerecorded data played through the headset. I would prefer an actual person ( not the driver) providing the narration. But I learned a lot. I prefer a real reason with real interaction. Not just a recording which saves the company money. But a good tour!”

“We took an Uber to The Palace as we did not want to miss out on the view of the country side from Paris to the foot hills. The office is located in a small strip mall with shopping and food options inside and nearby. We were warmly greeted by the office staff and directed to meet Isabella. She was fantastic! Enthusiastic, passionate, engaging and funny. It was a 10/10 experience and strongly suggested when in Paris. We were looking forward to riding the golf carts in the garden; unfortunately it had been snowing and rather cold. Until next time.Read more”

Eiffel Tower summit option plus a Seine cruise and coach city loop. Priority access and big views, but schedule discipline matters.

“You are basically on your own. We booked the Eiffel Tower/Seine River Cruise/Bus Tour through Viator, thinking we would have guided tours. Instead, we met near the Tower, where the Paris City Vision “guide” gave us tickets for the river cruise. Cruises leave every half hour and are audio guided. We were given a QR code to access this, but it didn’t work. We were then supposed to come back for the bus tour. She led us to the Tower and gave us tickets, and left. There was a very long line getting up to the Tower. We were so late getting to the Tower that we did not have…”

Go up the Eiffel Tower by elevator with an audio guide and optional summit access, plus an optional Seine cruise for a classic Paris win.

“We were running late and I reached out to Customer Support and the lady who assisted me was very helpful. The guide who met us at the meeting point simply passed on the tickets and forgot to give us the details for the Self-Guided Tour App - I appreciate that we're only human, however, it was quite a disappointment as it took a while to download the App & figure it out & we were already at the top when Customer Support kindly sent me the link. There was a long wait in the queue for the elevator, approx. 30 mins to go up and 15 mins to go down…”

Paris: Eiffel Tower Hosted Tour, Seine Cruise and City Tour

11.Eiffel Tower Hosted Tour, Seine Cruise and City Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,507 reviews · 3 - 4 hours · from $116

Skip Eiffel lines, ride a glass Seine cruise, and tour Paris landmarks by bus in 3–4 hours with multilingual audio.

“While the tour package is intended to provide an introduction to Paris, the audio on the bus were not well timed with the scene being discussed. The trip to the Eiffel Tower was cancelled and Montparness was substituted. A refund was not provided. My tour of Versailles was cancelled so we purchased tickets for the Eiffel Tower in the long line (which I tried to avoid by pre purchasing online). Very disappointing. The river cruise provided the best service..”

“The staff were so friendly and attentive to us as my son broke his leg in March and still has a bit of a hobble with his walking stick, they let him see the mona Lisa up close and it really made his trip as that's all he wanted to see! The place is so beautiful you could spend days in there! I'd recommend going the earlier the better as the ques are huge to get in. But the place is phenomenal, breathtaking x”

“Accidentally booked the wrong day for an excursion and tried to switch but was told by a supervisor that wasn’t possible and were out our money! They were unwilling to work with us. Very uncooperative and unwilling to assist us while visiting this beautiful city! Definitely wouldn’t use them again!”

Eiffel Tower and City Tour by Bus with Seine River Cruise Option

15.Eiffel Tower and City Tour by Bus with Seine River Cruise Option

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 1,013 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $100

Night in Paris with an Eiffel Tower ticket, a guided-by-audio city bus loop, and a Seine cruise with commentary. Upgrade to the summit.

“Lots of FAST walking involved from the tour office to the river, and from the bus to the tower. If you're not fit, or have a pram or children, be warned. The earpiece in the bus didn't work, so luckily the river cruise was well commentated, or I wouldn't have known what I was looking at. Our guide left us at the tower, which would have been fine until we realised half of the group tickets were for a later time slot, so we had to wait in line after all. The actual tour is fabulous, but the execution was lacking.”
