Paris Private Day Tour

CDG Airport Transfer with Eiffel Tower, Seine Lunch Cruise and La Vallee Village

A full-day private journey combining iconic Paris landmarks with premier outlet shopping, door to door from Charles de Gaulle.


This Paris private airport transfer tour brings together three of the city's most celebrated experiences in a single seamless nine-hour itinerary. From the moment you land at CDG, a private air-conditioned chauffeur-driven vehicle takes care of all your transfers so you can focus entirely on the experience.

The day unfolds across three distinct chapters: a summit visit to the Eiffel Tower, a two-hour Seine River lunch cruise drifting past the city's most storied facades, and an afternoon of discounted designer shopping at La Vallee Village. Each segment connects directly to the next without the friction of public transport or navigation.

La Vallee Village sits within the Villes Villages de France outlet network and features more than 100 designer shops and high-end boutiques offering reductions of 30 to 70 percent on past collections from French and international brands. International visitors are also eligible to claim a VAT refund on qualifying purchases.

The itinerary is structured to make the most of a single day, whether you are arriving into Paris for a layover, beginning a longer stay, or departing after a visit. The private vehicle remains available throughout, reducing transit time between attractions to a minimum.

Tour Highlights

Visit the Eiffel Tower summit, the defining monument of Paris and the most visited paid attraction in the world.

Board a two-hour Seine River lunch cruise departing from the foot of the Eiffel Tower with commentary in 14 languages.

Shop at La Vallee Village with 30 to 70 percent reductions on more than 100 designer and luxury boutiques.

Travel throughout the day in a private air-conditioned chauffeur-driven vehicle with door-to-door airport transfers included.

Eligible international shoppers can claim a VAT refund on purchases made at La Vallee Village outlets.

Cruise past Invalides, the Musee d'Orsay, Assemblee Nationale, Institut de France, and Notre Dame de Paris.
