Your experience

Combine two of Paris’s most iconic attractions in one seamless adventure: a guided Eiffel Tower tour and a Seine River cruise. Your journey begins as you meet your expert guide at the Eiffel Tower, ready to climb aboard the elevator and ascend the Iron Lady’s towering structure. As you rise, your guide provides fascinating stories and historical context to enrich your understanding of Paris and the Eiffel Tower’s place in its skyline.

Starting your tour

Arrive early to ensure you have time for security procedures. Present valid ID if requested at the entrance. Depending on your ticket, you’ll access the first and second floors by elevator, taking in ever-expanding panoramic city views. Your guide will point out landmarks like the Trocadéro, Montmartre and the Louvre, helping you appreciate the city from above. Guides primarily operate in English but may assist in French or Spanish when possible.

On the Eiffel Tower

On the second-floor observation deck, located 377 feet above the streets, pause to absorb views over Paris. Listen as your guide explains the stories behind the iron latticework and the city’s evolution from the 19th century to the present. Upgrade to the summit for access to the highest public viewpoint in Paris, offering unmatched perspectives of the city.

• Elevator access removes the strain of stairs, making this experience suitable for most visitors

• Summit access is available only if you select this option when booking

• Be prepared for wait times during busy periods even with pre-purchased tickets

Seine River cruise

Following your tower tour, make your way to the cruise boarding area just a short walk from the Eiffel Tower. Step aboard a comfortable boat for a one-hour sightseeing cruise along the Seine. The cruise route drifts past famed sights such as Notre Dame Cathedral, Pont Neuf and the charming bridges that define Paris’s riverbanks. Live commentary on board enriches your trip with stories and context about the monuments you see.

• Enjoy uninterrupted vistas from open or covered decks depending on the weather

• Boat capacity varies by weather: up to 300 on clear days, 120 if raining

• River cruise can be taken any time within the ticket validity window

Practical information

Depending on the Eiffel Tower entry time, the cruise may precede or follow your visit to the tower. The full Eiffel Tower experience typically takes from 1.5 to 4 hours, especially during peak tourist seasons. Infants under 4 need their own ticket. Note that large bags, strollers and other items are prohibited for security reasons at both attractions.

This combo provides a hassle-free way to tick off two Paris essentials, with informative commentary and skip-the-stairs convenience included. Upgrade to the summit for even grander views and memories.
