Full-Day Private Paris Experience

Eiffel Tower, Seine Cruise and Le Marais: Private Tour with CDG Transfers

Discover Paris at your own pace with a private chauffeur, an expert guide, and three of the city's most iconic experiences in one seamless day.


This private Paris day tour brings together the Eiffel Tower, a one-hour Seine River cruise, and a walking tour of the historic Le Marais district, all with door-to-door private transfers from Charles de Gaulle Airport. No public transport, no queuing for taxis, and no logistical stress from the moment you land.

Paris rewards travellers who move through it thoughtfully, and this itinerary is built around that idea. A private air-conditioned vehicle handles every transfer between sights, giving you time to absorb the city rather than navigate it.

Le Marais sets the tone with its cobblestone lanes, the elegant Place des Vosges, and a Jewish quarter that carries centuries of history. From there, the day moves to the Eiffel Tower for a second-floor visit, and then onto the Seine for a one-hour river cruise past some of the capital's most recognisable landmarks.

The tour concludes with a drop-off at your hotel or back at CDG Airport, making it a practical and immersive choice for travellers arriving in Paris and wanting to make the most of their first full day.

Tour Highlights

Visit the Eiffel Tower with a guided second-floor ticket included, with context on its construction for the 1889 Exposition Universelle.

Enjoy a one-hour Seine River cruise departing from the foot of the Eiffel Tower, with onboard commentary available in 14 languages.

Walk through Le Marais with a guide, visiting Place des Vosges, the Jewish quarter, and the area around the Memorial de la Shoah.

All transfers are handled by a private chauffeur in an air-conditioned vehicle, including pick-up and drop-off at CDG Airport.

Eiffel Tower second-floor entrance tickets are purchased by your guide, removing the need to pre-arrange access independently.

Pass by the Assemblée Nationale, Invalides, Musée d'Orsay, Institut de France, and Notre Dame de Paris during the Seine cruise.

Itinerary

1
Private Pick-Up at CDG Airport

Your chauffeur meets you at Charles de Gaulle Airport and transfers you to the first stop of the day in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. Travel time between the airport and central Paris is approximately 45 minutes depending on traffic.

2
Walking Tour of Le Marais

Your guide leads you through Le Marais, one of Paris's most historically layered neighbourhoods. The route takes in Place des Vosges (the oldest planned square in the city), the Jewish quarter with its synagogue, and the area surrounding the Memorial de la Shoah. The district is also known for its independent boutiques and its role as a cultural crossroads in the city.

3
Eiffel Tower (Second Floor)

Your guide purchases your second-floor Eiffel Tower tickets and provides background on the tower's origins, including its construction in two years, two months, and five days for the 1889 World's Fair. Today the monument receives close to seven million visitors annually, making it one of the most visited paid attractions in the world.

4
One-Hour Seine River Cruise

Board a river boat at the foot of the Eiffel Tower for a one-hour cruise along the Seine. The route passes landmarks including the Assemblée Nationale, Invalides, Musée d'Orsay, Institut de France, and Notre Dame de Paris, with multilingual commentary onboard. Cameras are strongly recommended for this section of the day.

Private Drop-Off at Hotel or CDG Airport
