Paris Full-Day Private Tour

Eiffel Tower, Seine River Lunch Cruise and La Vallee Village Shopping

Three iconic Paris experiences, one seamless private journey.


This Paris private day tour with Eiffel Tower and Seine River Lunch Cruise combines two of the city's most celebrated landmarks with a premium shopping outlet, all within a single comfortable, door-to-door experience. A dedicated private chauffeur collects you from your hotel at the start and returns you at the end, removing every logistical concern from the day. The itinerary is designed for travelers who want depth, comfort, and variety without the uncertainty of public transport.

The day opens at the Eiffel Tower, the iron structure that Gustave Eiffel completed in 1889 for the Exposition Universelle held to mark the centenary of the French Revolution. Built in just over two years, it represented a turning point in industrial-era engineering and remains the most visited paid monument in the world, receiving close to seven million visitors annually.

From the foot of the tower, guests board a two-hour Seine River Lunch Cruise that drifts past the Assemblee Nationale, the Invalides, the Musee d'Orsay, the Institut de France, and Notre Dame de Paris. Onboard commentary is available in fourteen languages, making the experience accessible to an international audience. The river section of the tour offers a perspective on Paris that is impossible to replicate from street level.

The afternoon moves to La Vallee Village, an open-air shopping outlet located outside central Paris where more than one hundred designer boutiques and high-end brand stores offer reductions between thirty and seventy percent on past-season collections. International visitors are eligible to apply for a VAT refund on qualifying purchases, which can meaningfully increase the overall saving on luxury goods.
