Paris City Tour with Seine River Cruise and Eiffel Tower Lunch

Paris, France

See all the Paris highlights on a morning or afternoon tour, including lunch at the Eiffel Tower and a Seine River cruise. You'll cover Paris' must-see attractions and sightseeing activities in a half-day tour, giving you a great overview of the city and leaving you time in the day to explore on your own.

Your air-conditioned coach tour of Paris takes in major landmarks, including Place de l'Opera, Place de la Concorde, Champs-Elysees, Arc de Triomphe, Place du Trocadero, Eiffel Tower, Invalides, Pont Neuf, Notre Dame Cathedral, Luxembourg Gardens, Saint-Germain des Pres and much more.

Next, you'll join a cruise down the Seine River to discover 2,000 years of Paris history. Lunch is served at the 58 Tour Eiffel restaurant on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower. The restaurant is 95 meters (311 feet) above ground level, with scenic views over the Seine to the Trocadero from the large picture windows.

For midday departures, your tour will start with the sightseeing tour, followed by lunch at 2:00pm and ending with the cruise which is located at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.

Traveling before August 31, 2012? Eiffel Tower Paris is currently experiencing delays due to a technical incident with the elevators. Only one elevator is in function until August 31, 2012. Consequently, the Eiffel Tower cannot guarantee access for this tour. We will continue to accept sales and replace the Eiffel Tower with the following substitutes. The elevator may open at any time so the tour guide will notify you upon tour commencement if the original itinerary is possible.

• Lunch at the Eiffel Tower will be replaced by a lunch at Café Seine. The restaurant is situated across the road from the Eiffel Tower so perfect location for you to admire this beautiful monument.

We loved this tour. It incorporated three "must see" things to do in Paris. Having lunch at the Eiffel Tower was the grand finale to our stay in Paris.

Food was pretty bead in Eiffel tower

Review by: surekha	April 2012
The chair I was sitting on the audio was not working. And this problem was faced by a few people. Otherwise it was ok

I thought i booked the van tour! not the bus! it wasn't any better then the hop off hop on bus! It was to much money for what they did!

Review by: EDUAR R	April 2012
Highly recommend booking this tour, wait time to get into the Eiffel tower on your own was 2 hours. If booked with viator no wait - can't beat that. Lunch at the Tower was great, food was very good accompanied by spectacular views of Paris.

Review by: Christine C	March 2012
This was a good one stop shopping for an overall view of Paris but inconsistent. Lunch at the Eiffel Tower was great, but the bus tour could have been better. The bus was nice, and very clean, but there needed to be more audio content throughout. The river cruise was very pleasant and relaxing.

Review by: Deborah C	March 2012
Cityrama office staff get 1 star. Tour guides and attractions get 5 stars. Some time between when I made my reservation and when I arrived in Paris, the tour company changed names and locations! The office staff for the new company, Cityrama, were very unhelpful. They did not explain the three parts of my tour and what was going to happen. Even with a long line waiting to get on the bus, the tour guide took the time to explain. All the guides were phenomenal and spoke several languages! Lunch at the Eiffel Tower was lovely and included your choice of a starter and entree or an entree and dessert, a glass of wine or beverage, and coffee. Food was lovely. After leaving Eiffel you cross the street and get on a boat that leaves once an hour for a one hour cruise up and back along the River Seine. Delightful! This package is a good value and a great way to see a lot of Paris in half a day at a relaxed pace.

The trip was superb, everything went like clock work. Alex our guide at the Eiffel Tower did a wonderful job looking after us, and lunch at the Eiffel Tower was the icing on the cake.

Review by: docdave	February 2012
Excellent would recommend it without hesitation

Review by: Siddharth T	February 2012
This tour is handy because you do not have to stand in the queues, either for the tickets or for the entry(Both are seperate) but it is very expensive. If you arrange things on your own(Which is not very difficult as everything is available on the internet from the government run websites), then you can do all these things at much economical rate.

Review by: Alison L	February 2012
It was a well organised, informative tour

Review by: Helen C	February 2012
Fabulous day out, extremely well organised. Great coach, great guides. We were well looked after and would definitely book with you again!

Review by: Lildaisy	January 2012
Went smoothly and very efficient. Would have preferred it made clearer that only partial entrance to Eiffel Tower (I.e. Floors) was included.

Review by: Ian W	January 2012
Everything on the day went smoothly. The coach was clean and comfortable and the commentary good. River cruise also went well with many sights and buildings explained by our multilingual hostess. Finally to the Eiffel Tower where our group was able to by-pass the massive queues waiting and gain access far quicker than those who had to wait. Lunch on the first level was good and ended up our excellent tour.

Review by: Jeffrey W	January 2012
The sites were great, but I missed having a person conducting the tour, rather than the earphones and very impersonal and monotone guy on the headset. I miss being able to ask questions when I see something they don't point out.

Review by: anuket	December 2011
Good directions for pick up point, great coach tour and rep. Eiffel tower trip was timed just right, but food was well below standard only just warm and cheep badley cooked, waitress rude and have no time for you, only 2 courses NOT 3 , However the rep who meet us at Eiffel tower was very helpful, next we had the river boat trip this was very nice and we enjoyed it., so apart from the horrible meal at the Eiffel tower it was a good experience (Eiffel tower great just don,t bother with the meal save your money and eat some other place)

Review by: JennWien	December 2011
Overall, it was a nice experience. The bus ride was a bit boring in that we felt they could have had a lot more information on the audio.... a lot of things were passed that could have been talked about. Also, other added information would have been nice.

Review by: roonie	December 2011
Bus tour was disappointing. There was only intermittent commentary that was very limited. There were no stops at all until we were dropped at the pier for the boat cruise. Lunch menu was extremely limited and could not be changed even for a child.. The guide had said we could change our options on the menu but that was not the case. It certainly did not feel like value for money tour.

Review by: schutka	December 2011
We took this tour with our 21 month old and we had a great time. He loved the bus and the boat. We loved the lunch at the Eiffel Tower and not having to wait in line. It was a great way to tour Paris with a toddler.

Review by: morri	December 2011
Would not hesitate to book with viator again._br/_ This tour was okay but not what i expected. The city tour was with headphones and sometimes it was difficult to know exactly which building was being spoken about. The river cruise was great. Music was being played in the background which sometimes made it difficult to hear the commentary, also on headsets. The Eiffel tower lunch was the best. Food was good, but the views is what the lunch is all about. Spent so much free time on the tower. I think I much prefer to have a guide rather than the headsets. Overall, we had a great day.

Review by: jemima	December 2011
Really great way to see Paris - we only had 2 days so would not have been able to pack everything in. Well organised, ran like clockwork. Had fantastic window seats for lunch in Eiffel Tower. Highly recommend this package.

Review by: B-dette	December 2011
My daughter and I had a great time. The bus tour was awesome and the Eiffel Tower lunch was magical. The boat cruise was everything we had hoped it would be. Thank you for a memorable day!

Review by: Mark I	December 2011
Totally "SUCKED" . The bus had no air, the volume through the ear buds was so low I had to constantly ask to turn up the volume (which they did not do ) the river cruse was OK but they dropped my off at the Eiffel Tower for Lunch which could have been better at a dinner. The box lunch was "JUST HORRIBLE" The next time I come to Paris I will take the subway and eat a hot dog at the Eiffel Tower. How rude can you be ..

Review by: Graham W	December 2011
An unforgettable experience guide was great speaking 5 languages made the day . Eifell Tower visit was great followed by a wonderful boat trip on the Seine, returning at night was best as it gave a view of the Eiffel Tower all lit up, the best view. Value for money

Review by: Marilyn H	November 2011
Excellent trip. We had a really great day and it was organised very well. Of course it helped that we had brilliant sunshine and blue sky in November. Eiffel Tower and lunch was wonderful

Review by: Mohammad A	November 2011
Viotor selected itinerery was a great and easy way to discover and see the beautiful architecture of the beautiful city Paris. My itinirery was best, as we enjoyed a luxury bus city sighting, then a seine river cruise followed by a visit to the first level of Eiffel tower where we were served lunch... it was a great unforgetable experience.

Review by: Brian M	November 2011
my wife and i enjoyed a superb paris city tour, the visit to the eiffel tower was a truly unforgettable expierience, and the lunch was delicious. the weather was lovely, for november, so the trip on the river was a perfect end to the excursion, very good value i would recommend this trip_br/_ brian and idina mackenzie

Review by: Mrs M M	November 2011
Excellent, the best feature was the time flexibility much more relaxed than strict timetable

Review by: John M S	November 2011
This was very enjoyable, particularly skipping the line-up for the Eiffel Tower. The luncheon was good as well as the tour guides; however, the staff at the restaurant was the worst we encountered on our vacation.

Review by: andy m	November 2011
the staff on the tour was very helpful and kind,we did not have time to go on the seine cruise as we had so much more to do in rhe short time we were there,but we were told the tickets are valid for a year so we will be going back next year.

Review by: Lee-Ann B	November 2011
Recommend this tour - Eiffel Tower lunch over rated but what a view !! - make a point of going to the very top of the tower - very worthwhile! Be ready for the crowds but you do jump the que to go to the restaurant . The Seine River Cruise is a nice way to finish up the day.

Review by: Budgy	November 2011
It was really worth it. Bought some tickets as a birthday present for my partner. Got to the bus pickup point easily on the subway. The cruise on the river was cool. We had a priority line for the Eiffel tower, and lunch on the 1st level, with the option to buy tickets to the top level. Nice little package. You do have to find your own way home from the Tower but that was fine too.

Review by: Krishnamoorthy S, Germany	July 2010
Very cooperative guide. Easy booking of table at the Le Tour Eiffel restaurant. Awesome, unexpected veggie food.Overall, good value for money! May be, the bus could have halted in few important places as well, for clicking pictures which I thought was the only negative point. Rest everything, simply superb!

Review by: James D, Canada	July 2010
Wonderful day tour! Highly recommend it to see Paris. Lunch was wonderful at the Eiffel tower and the river cruise was great!!

Review by: Roberto C. A, United States of America	April 2010
It was my first visit to Paris, and I really enjoyed this city tour. I think that for a first time visitor, it gives you all the historic and cultural elements that you need to know to understand the development of a city like Paris. The Seine River Cruise was unforgettable, and the lunch at the Eiffel Tower was very good. The guides show professionalism and understanding.

Review by: Jay H, United States of America	April 2010
Everything was great except. We talked with other tourists getting on the bus who were not taking our particular tour. Fortunately we asked the guide who told us we were on the right bus. The loading time for the bus was also rather long. Otherwise a great tour.

Review by: Jennifer L, United States of America	April 2010
This tour was fantastic. Highly recommended when you go to Paris. The guided bus tour was great to do first. Gets you a little familiar with the city. Lunch was great. On the first floor, so afterwards fantastic view of city. It was nice too to have this booked, because you didn't have to wait in a long line to enter the Eiffel Tower. The lunch was really good too. The cruise was alot of fun as well and you could do that anytime after lunch before the last trip that day. All of my party thought this was a great thing to do and fun was had by all.

Review by: Anthony C, Canada	March 2010
Very good, just wish the menu for lunch was more varied.

Review by: Eileen M, France	March 2010
It was certainly really good value for money and everything worked according to plan. Even though I was the only having lunch at the Eiffel Tower, the guide took personal care of my and that was great. I did not feel alone. It was a great experience even though I know Paris very well!

Review by: Mandy W, United Kingdom	March 2010
Loved the whole experience. It would have been too much to do the coach trip, Eiffel Tower dinner and the cruise in the same day. We had been sitting on the train to get to Paris for an hour and a half already, but the good thing was, the boat tickets are valid for 2 years, so we did that trip on another day.

Review by: Annamarie D, United States of America	March 2010
I really enjoyed starting our vacation with this tour. The tour guides were friendly and professional.

Review by: Phuong Anh T, United States of America	February 2010
It is wonderful.

Review by: Lydia G, United States of America	January 2010
Wonderful tour - having lunch at the Eiffel Tower and not having to wait in line was great. Cruising down the Seine wonderful. The bus part of the tour gave you a birds eye view of all the important landmarks. We would definitely take another tour.

Review by: James P, United Kingdom	December 2009
Absolutely brilliant.

Review by: Frederick R, United States of America	November 2009
Everything was on time and the guides were excellent. I would recommend this to most of my friends.

Review by: Rochelle H, United States of America	November 2009
I would highly recommend this tour on your first day to Paris. It gives you the big picture of Paris - first by bus focusing on all the major points of interest, then a visit to the Eiffel Tower, and finally with a boat tour on the Seine River. The added bonus for me and my daughter was the luncheon at the Eiffel Tower. The food was delicious and we could take our time taking in all the views of the city.

Review by: Carlene N, Ireland	October 2009
The city tour and cruise where very enjoyable. At the Eiffel Tower - great bypassing all the queues and moving straight in. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The only negative would be the choice on the lunch menu was very limited.

Review by: David K, Canada	October 2009
We totally enjoyed all aspects of this trip. The bus tour was well done. The busy was very comfortable. We really liked the system of delivering the narration in different languages so that you only had to listen to yours. Lunch at the Eiffel Tower was awesome! The ride down the Seine on a beautiful sunny day was a lovely finish to this wonderful trip. It was money well spent.

Review by: Christine W, Australia	August 2009
It was very good value for money and even better as it was booked before we left Australia.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	August 2009
It worth doing, no need to wait in line and food is okay at Eiffel Tower. I highly recommend to book this tour before your trip, it really saved our time.
