Customer Reviews
The tour is simply magnificent. Skipping the line at the Eiffel Tower was a major benefit and river cruise gave us time to relax and enjoy Paris from the water!! Our guide Mario, was excellent added so much to our experience!!
Did a nighttime boat cruise after touring the Eiffel Tower. Contemplating the city lights on the water was otherworldly—one of Paris's most breathtaking views ever.
What a beautiful way to experience things! The climb up the Eiffel Tower and boat tour went hand-in-hand very nicely. Perfect amount of timing, not too rushed.
