About this tour

What to expect
The driver collects you from your hotel or central Paris location and heads into the city proper. As you drive the main routes, an audio guide feeds historical detail—Revolutionary events, architectural stories, even quirky facts like early tennis origins. You'll pass major monuments rather than enter them; the focus is coverage and commentary rather than stepping inside. After three hours, the driver drops you at the Eiffel Tower, where you board a shared Seine cruise. This one-hour float drifts past riverside architecture, bridges and islands at a leisurely pace, with further audio narration. Your driver meets you afterwards for the return journey home.
Good to know
Attraction entrance fees are separate; the tour covers sightseeing, not museum or tower access. The Seine cruise is shared, not private. Suitable for all fitness levels but involves car time and standing on a boat. Infant seats are available on request. Bottled water and wipes provided.
