12-Hour Private Panoramic Tour of Paris with BVA Airport Transfer
Discover Paris at your own pace with a private guide, scenic stops, and a Seine River lunch cruise included.
This private panoramic tour of Paris with BVA transfer is designed for travelers arriving at Beauvais-Tille Airport who want to experience the French capital thoroughly within a single day. Your private vehicle picks you up directly from the terminal and takes you on a curated 12-hour journey through Paris.
The tour covers iconic landmarks including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre pyramid, Opera Garnier, Moulin Rouge, Tour Montparnasse, Galeries Lafayette, Saint-Germain-des-Pres, and Le Marais. As this is a panoramic experience, the focus is on photo stops and exterior visits rather than museum entries, allowing you to see more of the city in one day.
A two-hour Seine River lunch cruise aboard Bateaux Parisiens is integrated into the itinerary, offering views of landmarks such as the Musee d'Orsay, Notre Dame de Paris, and the Assemblee Nationale from the water. Commentary is available in 14 languages aboard the vessel.
The private format means no shared buses, no waiting for other groups, and a pace that suits your preferences. The approximate driving and transfer time between attractions is two hours over the course of the full day.
