Ideal way to see Paris if you have not been before. Well worth the price. The boat and bus were great, but the Eiffel Tower was fantastic. We only waited about 10 minutes, and rushed through the group entrance, whereas we would have had a 2 hour wait if we were independent travellers. The views are well worth the extra cost to go to the top floor as ticket gets you to 2nd floor.

I recommend this to everyone who is staying in Paris for a short period of time. My boyfriend and I loved it.

It was outstanding - well balanced between the bus tour of the city, the river cruise up and down the Seine, and the Eiffel Tower. It was especially nice to not have to wait in the long line to go up the tower. We just walked right in. The whole tour was very well done. Thanks!

Absolutely brilliant. New air conditioned coach. We only had one day in Paris and we saw all the main attractions. The best part of it all was the fact that we bypassed the queues for the Eiffel Tower! We spoke with people who had queued for over 3 hours. Highly recommended. Didn't do the boat trip as we decided to come back in the evening but ran out of time!

My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed Paris, we are 18 and 17 and were there with her mother and brother. We didn't expect the tour to be so great. Sightseeing is normally considered boring for teenagers, but we had a great time and avoided the queues for the Eiffel Tower!

This city tour consists of a bus ride, Eiffel Tower visit and boat trip on the river. The easiest way to ruin the whole thing is at the bus stage. First tip: there are 3 departure times - 9am, noon and 3pm. If for any reason you're running late for your departure time, don't storm the first bus you see. Change your time for a later trip, they gladly did it for us. Second tip: they run two buses, one is with a GPS controlled recordings in 15 languages, another is with a live guide. Make sure about his/her language of choice and pick the bus were you can listen as well as observe. Spend as much time at the Tower as you feel like. The tour guide will give you a ticket for boat ride, which is the last stage and the ticket can be used on later day if you happen to run out of day light while climbing the tower or the weather requires a set of foul weather gear. Keep this in mind and you'll have nothing to worry about. Enjoy Paris!

Excellent tour! Covered everything that you would want to see in Paris and we were able to skip all the long queues by being with the group. Highly recommend it.

Good. Worth it to beat the lines at the Eiffel Tower. They leave you there afterwards and give you the ticket for the boat. I came back two days later at night at about 9:45, and it was perfect. I just gave my ticket to a taxi driver and he drove me right to where the boat was! Did this on the first day of my trip to just get an idea of the city and how close everything is. The lines are huge at the Eiffel Tower, so this is worth it just for that.

What a great way to see Paris!! The tour was absolutely wonderful. Eiffel Tower was breathtaking, and it was wonderful not having to wait in the long lines. My kids especially enjoyed the guided tour and the history of all the major attractions. The Seine cruise was also very nice. I would definitely book another tour with Viator!!!

Good capsule view of the main tourist attractions in the city.

We hd a terrific guide, and the bus trip was amazing. Viator could improve the tour by giving better directions to the starting point and providing those who attend the bus tour with a map, but otherwise, we enjoyed the tour and thought it was well done.

This was definitely worth doing. The coach tour was informative, although we needed the earphone commentary turned up to top volume, and even then we had to listen hard. The tour guide from the bus to the Eiffel Tower was brilliant and genuinely friendly and interested. She took us straight to the priority line, and we didn't have to wait more than 2 minutes for the lift direct to the 2nd stage. For this reason alone the tour is worth booking! The boat trip tickets were flexible, so you could take this when you wanted. All in all, it was worth doing and well organised.

The trip overall was good, but itinerary was not as advertised. Coach trip started the tour, followed by Eiffel Tower and ended with river cruise. We were left to find our own way to the river, the guides left us at the Eiffel Tower.
