Eiffel Tower & River Cruise

Lesley Murray, 15 September 2025

Eiffel Tower tour was great Ana did a wonderful job giving the history of the Tower. However, the river cruise was ok - they would not give us our Champagne because we did not have a voucher. We thought the river cruise was going to be informative.

Great Experience

Lynne Fallivene, 03 September 2025

We had a great experience on this tour. We got to the meeting place early so the guide was not yet there. The exact location of the meeting place was a little confusing, perhaps put a picture of the exact statue to meet at. The river cruise was very relaxing. After the cruise we proceeded to the Eiffel Tower, our guide was very informative and had a real sense of humor. We booked this particular tour so we could skip the line and take the elevator to the second level because our time in Paris was limited. We would totally recommend this tour!
