Private Half-Day Experience in Paris

Private Eiffel Tower Visit with Seine River Lunch Cruise

A seamless private journey to Paris's most iconic landmark, paired with a scenic lunch cruise along the Seine.


This private Eiffel Tower and Seine River lunch cruise combines two of Paris's most celebrated experiences into one carefully arranged half-day tour, complete with hotel pickup and pre-booked entry tickets.

Paris rewards those who plan ahead, and visiting the Eiffel Tower without the stress of queuing or logistics makes a genuine difference. Your private vehicle collects you directly from your hotel, so you can focus on the experience rather than the organisation.

After ascending to the second floor of the Eiffel Tower, a short walk brings you to the Seine River boarding pier, where a two-hour lunch cruise departs from the foot of the tower. The route passes some of the city's most celebrated landmarks at a leisurely pace.

All entry tickets for both the Eiffel Tower second floor and the Seine lunch cruise are included and delivered electronically before departure. The tour is rated easy and suits a wide range of travellers, including those with limited time in the city.
