From London: Luxury Escorted Paris Day Trip with Bateaux Parisiens Lunch Cruise

This premium Paris day trip combines the convenience of escorted travel with the elegance of a Seine River lunch cruise. Your journey begins with comfortable coach departure from central London, crossing the English Channel via Eurotunnel Le Shuttle or ferry. Once in Paris, an expert English-speaking guide leads you through the city's most celebrated districts and landmarks.

The tour includes photo stops at the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, and Champs-Élysées, with guided commentary providing insights into Parisian history and architecture. The highlight is your luxury lunch cruise along the Seine aboard a glass-topped vessel, featuring a three-course meal while you glide past Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Louvre Museum, and historic bridges. After the 1.5-hour cruise, you'll have 2-3 hours of free time for independent exploration, shopping, or visiting attractions like Montmartre and Sacré-Cœur Basilica.
