About this tour
This eight-hour private tour pairs a chauffeured exploration of Paris's signature landmarks with a two-hour lunch cruise along the Seine. A driver collects you from your hotel, takes you to Port de la Bourdonnais for the midday cruise, then continues a panoramic tour of the city before returning you to your accommodation. You'll see the Champs-Élysées, Notre-Dame, the Louvre's exterior, and the Opéra, with skip-the-line access to the Eiffel Tower's second floor included.

What to expect
Your day begins with hotel collection in a private vehicle. You'll be driven to the Seine's Left Bank, where you board a lunch cruise departing at 12:45 p.m. (lasting until 2:45 p.m.). The boat glides past illuminated bridges and monuments whilst you dine. Punctuality is critical—late arrivals forfeit entry. After disembarking, your driver returns you to street level for a second tour segment, visiting prominent sites including a lift-assisted ascent of the Eiffel Tower's second storey. Queues are common but the panoramic views justify the wait. The driver then escorts you back to your hotel, concluding the itinerary.
Good to know
Arrive at the cruise pier with time to spare; delays result in forfeited tickets. The Eiffel Tower queue can be substantial, even with lift access. Your private driver is not a commentary guide. Entry to Notre-Dame and the Louvre requires separate tickets. Gratuities are not included. Public transport alternatives exist nearby if needed.
