9-Hour Paris Orientation Tour with CDG Airport Pickup and Seine River Dinner Cruise
From the airport straight into Paris, covering its greatest landmarks and ending with a romantic dinner on the Seine.
This Paris orientation tour with CDG pickup and Seine dinner cruise combines a 6.5-hour panoramic city drive with a 2.5-hour evening river experience, giving first-time visitors a thorough introduction to the French capital. Your expert driver collects you directly from Charles de Gaulle Airport and guides you through the city before dropping you at the pier for the cruise.
The tour is designed for travelers who have limited time in Paris and want to cover the essential landmarks without the hassle of navigating public transport on arrival day. You will pass by the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, Opera Garnier, and the Champs-Elysees, among other iconic sites.
Because this is a panoramic driving tour, the group does not enter the Louvre Museum, Notre-Dame Cathedral, or climb the Eiffel Tower. The focus is on a broad visual overview of the city with photo stops at selected locations.
The evening Seine River dinner cruise operates aboard Bateaux Parisiens. It departs from Port de Bourdonnais and passes landmarks including the Assemblee Nationale, Invalides, Musee d'Orsay, and Notre-Dame, with onboard commentary available in 14 languages. E-tickets for the cruise are sent to you before the tour begins. After the cruise, guests make their own way back to their accommodation.

Tour Itinerary
Your driver meets you at Charles de Gaulle Airport and begins the transfer into central Paris. Travel time between stops throughout the day is approximately two hours in total.
The tour includes a photo stop near the Eiffel Tower, originally constructed for the 1889 Exposition Universelle. The route also covers Montmartre, known for the white-domed Basilica of Sacre-Coeur and its cobbled streets with panoramic views over Paris.
The group stops near Notre-Dame Cathedral on the Ile de la Cite for exterior photography while restoration work continues. The route passes the Louvre's glass pyramid, Place de la Concorde (the largest square in Paris at 7.6 hectares), and the neoclassical Place Vendome.
The tour drives along the full length of the Avenue des Champs-Elysees from Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe, a monument that took 30 years to build. A stop at Opera Garnier (Palais Garnier), inaugurated in 1875, allows time for photos on its famous steps.
Your driver drops you at Port de Bourdonnais in time to board the Bateaux Parisiens dinner cruise. The 2.5-hour cruise departs from the base of the Eiffel Tower and passes key riverside landmarks with multilingual commentary.
The cruise passes the Assemblee Nationale, Invalides, Musee d'Orsay, Institut de France, and Notre-Dame. After the cruise concludes, guests return to their hotel independently.
