Doing what: Paris City Tour, Seine River Cruise and Eiffel Tower
We had lots to cover, being this was our first trip ever to Paris. The bus tour through the city gave us the overview we needed. The Eiffel Tower is a sight to see and whether you go to the 2nd level included with the ticket or to the top on your own you can take beautiful photos. The Seine River cruise is very relaxing- and you get to see the city from another point of view. We liked that the tour ended here, so that we could grab a freshly made crepe along the river and then stroll around afterwards on our own.

Doing what: Paris City Tour with Seine River Cruise and Eiffel Tower Lunch
It was my first visit to Paris, and I really enjoyed this city tour. I think that for a first time visitor, it gives you all the historic and cultural elements that you need to know to understand the development of a city like Paris. The Seine River Cruise was unforgettable, and the lunch at the Eiffel Tower was very good. The guides show professionalism and understanding.

What a great way to start our week vacation in Paris. The bus tour hit all the major spots with magnificent views and great photo ops. Access to the Eiffel Tower was quick and efficient. And the Seine River Cruise was relaxing, interesting and beautiful. This was truly a no pressure, non-touristy type of tour that gave us the perfect overview of Paris.

We me, my wife and my 3 year-old son had a fantastic personalized tour of Paris in a minivan. Since no one else signed up for the tour we were the only ones and our drivertour guide was fantastic! We drove all over Paris, and a commentary of every place, which lasted about 2.5 hours. Finally, he dropped us off at the Eiffel Tower where we were greeted by another tour guide who explained to us the history of the Eiffel Tower. She then gave us tickets to cut the long 1 hour wait line to go to the top as well as tickets for a Seine River Cruise ride that we could take at anytime of the day. It was perfect!

When we saw the lines of people at the Eiffel Tower waiting to buy tickets to go up the elevator to the second floor, we absolutely knew that we made the correct decision to buy our tickets while still at home! The Eiffel Tower was so very impressive to see in person that we went back 3 separate days to just look at it and take yet more pictures! The 2 hour bus tour was excellent in helping the 3 of us spot and identify the different landmarks and in helping us to later find our own way around Paris. Very, very worthwhile. The Cruise on the Seine River was outstanding! The boat was spotlessly clean, the commentary was excellent, and the crew was friendly and helpful in answering our questions. Thank you so much for offering such a great value and a definite time saver so that we could spend more time exploring Paris on our own.

Doing what: Eiffel Tower, Paris Moulin Rouge Show and Seine River Cruise
This was an incredible night out and well worth the price! All of the events were spaced well, so we never really felt rushed. That made the night that much more enjoyable. It will be a late night, so be prepared! We lucked out with a view side table in the Eiffel Tower and we had a bottle of wine waiting for us. Dinner was okay, Chicken, but the view and ambiance were fantastic! We had already been on the tower earlier in our trip, so we did not need to get up to the second level, that will add time! The Seine River cruise showed us Paris by sunset, and we had some time afterwards to relax and watch the Tower shimmer. Our ride to the Moulin was easy, and our seats were fine. The show was so enjoyable and the Champagne at our table was a nice treat! We lucked out with some great guides too. We were dropped off right in front of our hotel too! I would recommend this tour highly. Remember to confirm the reservation and make sure that you ask them where to meet, it might change!

This tour was very good. It gives an excellent introduction to Paris. One of the best parts of the tour was skipping the line at the Eiffel Tower, since there were huge lines for tickets and then for the entrance. The cruise on the Seine was good too, which gives a different perspective of the many site and older buildings along the banks of the river. The tour guides were informative and organized. This was a very good tour.

Seine River Cruise is a wonderful way to see the city. The Eiffel Tower shows you the breathtaking view of Paris. We were fortunate to go up in the tower the day before it was closed because of striking workers.

Doing what: Paris City Tour with Seine River Cruise and Eiffel Tower Lunch
Fantastic! Great overview of Paris for the newcomer or to find out what interests you to go back to and see in more detail, without wasting time on what doesn't. Comfy coach ride, showing the best of the best, with full commentary in several languages, catering for all. The inclusion of the Seine River Cruise was lovely. Again full commentary, and lovely French music. Back on the coach to the Eiffel Tower, and thanks to the tour, we bypassed the 2-hour queue of ticket purchasers for the elevator and the other queue for the lift. Our guide took us to the front, and we were straight in the next lift! The included lunch at Altitude 95 on the first level I was expecting to be a very light lunch. It was a full hot main meal, fine cuisine, with some refreshments included and wonderful service. Tour ended there, but we continued to the top of the tower, for a view and experience second to none. Excellent. Loved it.

Doing what: Seine River Cruise and Paris Canals Tour
The river cruise is run by the two operators to give an absolutely charming and different experience from the regular boat cruises on the Seine. A great thing to do on lazy Mondays when most museums are closed. But this tour is hardly fast, so it is not for those rushing for time to explore Paris!

Doing what: Bateaux Parisiens Dinner Cruise on the Seine
The highlight of our trip to Paris. Service and entertainment was first class and the river at night was breathtaking. Would recommend as the best way to celebrate the last night of a holiday in Paris. We did 4 other excursions through Viator, Giverny and Monet's home, Eiffel Tower and Siene River Cruise, River Seine Cruise Cruise Paris Illuminations and dinner on the Champs Elysees.

Doing what: Eiffel Tower, Paris Moulin Rouge Show and Seine River Cruise
A wonderful evening! First dinner in the Eiffel Tower and a chance to meet other people in our tour and make new friends. Next, a lovely cruise on the Seine River to see the sights from the water and relax. Finally a bus ride to the Moulin Rouge show, which was stunning. Stage sets were very colorful, and the acts were very good. This is a nice relaxing evening out in Paris that I recommend.

The dinner was very good and I'm an extremely picky eater. Salad, chicken, and chocolate cake. We loved the dinner. Then onto the Seine River cruise. They give you a brief tour of Paris. Then the show. It was a good show but we liked the Lido show better. However I would do this activity again!

Doing what: Paris City Tour by Minivan, Louvre Museum and Seine River Lunch Cruise
This tour is a "must do" for anyone's trip to Paris! The minibus seats 7 with the driver so it is very personal and accommodating. Our driver, a young lady, was absolutely fabulous! She picked us up at our hotel which is so much better than having to find your way to the tour office or bus depot. She was so informative and could answer any and all questions. In this day tour, we saw ALL the highlights of Paris. She drove us through all the famous streets pointing out interesting places and telling us history about each area. She took us to just the "highlights" of the Louvre so that we were not wandering aimlessly. We walked through Notre Dame after she gave us a brief history lesson. The lunch river cruise on the Seine was 5 Star all the way! The highlights of Paris were breathtaking...but what made it perfect was having this driver/tour guide who made the tour fascinating as well as comfortable.
