Paris Full-Day Private Tour

Versailles, Eiffel Summit, Seine Cruise & Wine Tasting with Hotel Pickup

One day. Four unforgettable experiences. All from your hotel door.


This Paris private day tour combines the Palace of Versailles, the Eiffel Tower summit, a Seine River cruise, and a wine tasting stop into a single, seamlessly guided eight-hour itinerary. A dedicated driver collects you directly from your Paris hotel, removing the stress of navigating public transport or booking multiple tickets separately. Every major admission is included so you can focus entirely on the experience.

Paris rewards those who plan well, and fitting its most celebrated landmarks into a short visit requires expert coordination. This tour handles the logistics, from the one-hour drive to Versailles and back, to dropping you at the cruise pier opposite the Eiffel Tower, ensuring transitions between each highlight are smooth and unhurried.

The itinerary balances grand history with sensory pleasure. Visitors walk through the gilded halls of a former royal palace, rise to the third floor of an iconic iron tower, drift along the Seine with recorded commentary, and pause to sample a selection of French wines at a local shop.

Approximately two hours of the eight-hour day are spent in private transportation, covering the round trip to Versailles and the transfer to the cruise departure point at Port de la Bourdonnais. The remaining time is devoted entirely to the four featured experiences.

Tour Highlights

Explore the Palace of Versailles with an audio guide, one of Europe's most magnificent royal residences and a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Ascend to the third floor of the Eiffel Tower, built by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Exposition Universelle, for sweeping views over Paris.

Enjoy a one-hour Seine River cruise aboard a Bateaux Parisiens boat, with recorded commentary covering Paris landmarks along the riverbanks.

Stop at a Paris wine shop to sample a selection of French wines, guided by your driver to a venue suited for tasting different varieties.

Private hotel pickup and all transfers between sites are included, so no time is lost arranging transportation between destinations.

Admission tickets for Versailles, the Eiffel Tower summit, and the Seine River cruise are all covered within this single booking.
