Description

This experience combines two key Paris attractions: a guided Eiffel Tower visit and a scenic Seine River cruise. Your visit begins with a guided elevator ascent to the 2nd floor of the Eiffel Tower.

Next, enjoy a Seine River cruise departing nearby the Eiffel Tower. The cruise ticket is valid for up to one year, allowing you to use it before or after your tower visit. As you glide along the UNESCO-listed Banks of the Seine, pass iconic sites such as Notre-Dame, the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, and Les Invalides. A multilingual audio guide is provided on board, offering informative commentary throughout the journey.
