Scale the iconic Eiffel Tower and cruise along the River Seine as you experience the city of Paris from 2 unique vantage points.

Highlights

  • What better way to get classic Parisian exposure than by merging your visit to the iconic Iron - Enjoy views of the Seine's banks and bridges during your cruise, passing by the golden statues of Pont Alexandre III and the glass-topped Grand Palais, among other sights.

  • Visit the 2nd-floor viewing platform and discover fascinating details about the Eiffel Tower’s 18,000-part construction, once dismissed as an eyesore by some Parisians.

  • For the best views, upgrade your experience to include tickets to the summit of the Eiffel Tower with views of the Arc de Triomphe, Louvre Museum, Notre Dame de Paris, and more.

  • Fun fact: Paris’ oldest bridge is Pont Neuf. Its distinctive white arches stretch out not just over the river but also one of its natural islands – Cité.

Inclusions

  • 1.5-hr English guided tour of the Eiffel Tower

  • Elevator access to the summit or 2nd floor (as per the option selected)

  • 1-hour Seine River cruise

  • Live commentary onboard the cruise

The guide was very nice, we were worried because we were about 7 minutes late but she waited until 20 minutes so that we were all there. She explained the procedure and the history of the eiffel tower. We also had passes for the top floor and she showed us perfectly how to go up and down. Everything went very well!

Good experience, but they forgot to give me our boat ride tickets. We had to go back to the office, and pick them up from another kiosk that was still open.

Presleigh was so informative and interesting. Her extensive knowledge really added to the experience at the Eiffel Tower. The river cruise was slso very good, though the commentary could use a little polish. It was rather basic. We did enjoy being having the flexibility to take the trip whenever we wanted.

The info from the guide and the crew in the beginning where good, nice info on the tower and some light humour made it great. Leonardo (like the ninja Turtle ;)) was a great guy full of awesome details and anekdotes, a true prof in his trade. Perhaps more like Davinci then the Ninja Turtle then ;) It was a great experience.

Discover an iconic symbol of Paris

Unveiled in 1889 and only meant to stick around for 20 years, the Eiffel Tower has outlived its initial estimate by constantly evolving, from transmitting radio signals to being revamped for important events and dignitaries. Now, the tower is the most-visited paid monument in the world. Hear all about it and more on this guided tour.

Ascend the Iron Lady

Take the elevator to the 2nd floor, where the observation deck offers awe-inspiring views of landmarks like Notre Dame and the Champs-Élysées. Afterward, descend to the 1st floor and unleash your inner daredevil as you walk on the glass floor, 57 meters above the ground.

Upgrade your ticket to continue on to the summit by elevator. For all you architecture buffs and history geeks, this is bound to be your favorite part! Encounter panoramas stretching from Sacré-Coeur Basilica atop Montmartre Hill to the Arc de Triomphe.

Seine River cruise

The stunning city holds many treasures along the Seine. Float past grand architecture on the river banks, from the former train station Orsay Museum to the iconic Gothic cathedral of Notre Dame. The boat also has a terrace for the best views. End right back where you started, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower!
