Our VIP private Eiffel Tower experience lets you decide the best time to visit—whether it’s a morning adventure, a sunset glow, or Paris twinkling at night. Begin with a champagne cruise along the Seine, gliding past icons like the Louvre and the Notre Dame Cathedral. Then, bypass the line to the 2nd floor with a private guide, where exclusive insights and stunning views await. This is the Eiffel Tower as it was meant to be experienced: on your terms.

  • Meet your guide at the corner of Pont d'Iena and Quai Branly
  • Seine River
  • Champagne

  • Eiffel Tower
  • Second floor

  • Private tour
  • End your tour at your own pace

After meeting your friendly local guide near the Roman warrior statue at the corner of Pont d'Iena and Quai Branly, you'll set off on a wonderful 1-hour riverboat cruise through the heart of the city to see sights like the Louvre, Pont Neuf, and the Musée d’Orsay. You'll also enjoy a complimentary glass of champagne or soft drink on board.

Then, disembark from the boat and head to the Eiffel Tower, the pièce de résistance of this Paris experience. With your guide leading the way, you'll skip the long line to ascend the tower and head to second floor by elevator, where you’ll enjoy the ultimate view of Paris! After your tour has finished, you can choose to stay at the tower for as long as you like (or until it closes).

This tailored private tour has various start times, meaning you can choose the one that suits you. Evening starts are available, and offer a great opportunity to ascend the tower while the spectacular night time lights are on display! Feel free to contact us is you can't find a suitable start time.

Seine Cruise & Private Eiffel Tower Tour Description

Your 2.5-hour tour includes:

  • 1-hour riverboat cruise on the Seine

  • Complimentary glass of champagne (or soft drink)

  • Skip-the-line elevator tickets for the Eiffel Tower second floor

  • Your own private English-speaking guide

  • Start times throughout the day and evening

Seine River Cruise with Champagne

If a Seine River boat cruise isn’t already on your list of things to do in Paris, it really should be! Taking in all of the best landmarks in the City of Lights from the water comes highly recommended, and it's a great way to get different perspective on the French capital. Embrace the ambiance of Paris and enjoy a luxurious experience with your closest friends or family.

Whether your tour starts during the day or as the sun sets, this is a magical way to begin! As you a sip complimentary glass of champagne, your guide will tell stories of Paris as you pass the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, Notre Dame, and more. As your boat ride comes to an end, you'll see the spectacular and most iconic sight in Paris up close as you approach the Eiffel Tower.

Views from the Eiffel Tower Second Floor

Along with your private tour guide, you'll breeze past the Eiffel Tower’s long lines and get priority access to the elevator which will take you up to the second floor. You'll hear stories about the construction of the Eiffel Tower and its meaning to the French people, as well as some fascinating tales about the history of Paris.

The star of the Paris skyline also offers the finest views over the rest of the city, so get your camera ready and take in the panoramic views of the French capital while it buzzes some 377 feet beneath you. It's the perfect way to end your unforgettable Paris tour, and you're welcome to stay and enjoy the views from the tower after the tour has finished too.

The Perfect Views at the Perfect Time

This private tour has start times available throughout the day, so you can choose the one that suits you best. If you're looking for an evening experience in Paris, then we highly recommend picking a later start time so you can enjoy the unforgettable nighttime panoramic view of Paris as the lights of the tower twinkle around you. It's a special experience that'll stay with you forever as you look out over the Champs de Mars and the iconic skyline of the Paris.

Our tour guide was incredible! We were late because of all the street closures for the Olympics but our tour guide waited for us, kept texting us and was wonderfully understanding when we did finally arrive. She gave the best tour and was so kind. Thank you!

Amazing experience!

Maria (Masha) was a wonderful tour guide! We learned so much about the Eiffel Tower, with plenty of time to browse the gift shop and grab a drink. She also took some fantastic photos of our family for us. The only problem we had was we did not get champagne because The Tour Guy company changed cruise lines recently. Masha was apologetic and embarrassed, and it is not her fault at all. The Tour Guy company should’ve taken this into account and had an alternative ready, such as champagne on the Eiffel Tower, or should’ve proactively offered a compensation for this, as it was a disappointment. The company did inform Masha that we would be getting a small portion of our fee refunded for the champagne, but it is already the next day and I still have not gotten an email from The Tour Guy company about it.
