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.

It was a great way to get an overview of the city with the Paris City Tour, and if you have limited time, it was value for money to see and experience the river cruise and Eiffel Tower in one day.

We really enjoyed this tour although it was not what we expected. It commenced with a bus tour of the main city sights. The bus travelled everywhere through all the main districts, and the prerecorded commentary was informative. It was also in many languages, which was good for tourists. The bus tour concluded at the Eiffel Tower, and we were given tickets to go on our own to the 2nd level. We had a choice of using these tickets then or at a later time and date. The tickets were great as we could jump a rather large queue. We were also given tickets for a Seine cruise which we could also take when we wanted. This was good for it was possible to use the tickets at night if you wanted. We did the cruise straight after the Eiffel Tower. Once again, the prerecorded commentary was informative and it was a lovely cruise where we saw Paris from quite a different perspective. We were expecting a tour guide to be with us throughout the tour, but not having one was not a drawback at all. We would recommend this tour.

It was very enjoyable and made the Eiffel Tower experience more enjoyable as there was not a long wait in queues.

Definitely worth doing, but pity that the traffic is so heavy in Paris that sometimes it was difficult to see somethings on the coach trip.

Good value. Bus tour is done using at least a dozen languages. You simply dial in your language choice. After the bus tour, you go to the second level of the Eiffel Tower, spend as much time as you like and then have a ticket for the river cruise a five minute walk for anytime you want to take it.
