Eiffel Tower Visit and Seine Lunch Cruise with Private CDG Pickup

From the airport to the top of Paris, and then along its most celebrated river.


This private Eiffel Tower and Seine lunch cruise tour is designed for travelers who want to make the most of limited time in Paris, starting directly from Charles de Gaulle Airport with no logistics to worry about.

A private vehicle meets you at CDG and takes you straight to one of the world's most recognizable structures. Access to the second floor of the Eiffel Tower is included, giving you a genuine elevated perspective over the French capital without the typical queuing stress.

From there, a short walk leads to the departure pier for a two-hour lunch cruise along the Seine River. The route passes landmarks including the Musee d'Orsay, the Invalides, Notre Dame de Paris, and the Institut de France, with onboard commentary available in 14 languages.

This itinerary is well suited to travelers on a layover, those beginning a longer trip, or anyone who wants a structured and private introduction to Paris without the unpredictability of navigating the city independently on a first visit.
