Private 4-Hour Paris City Tour and Seine River Lunch Cruise with CDG Airport Pickup
A seamless introduction to Paris, from the airport to the river, guided by a knowledgeable local driver.
This private Paris city tour with CDG airport pickup combines a two-hour panoramic drive through the French capital with a two-hour Seine River lunch cruise, giving first-time visitors an efficient and immersive first look at the city.
An expert driver collects you directly from Charles de Gaulle Airport and guides you through Paris in a private vehicle, pointing out the city's most celebrated landmarks along the way. The orientation covers the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre pyramid, the Champs-Elysees, and more, all without the need to queue or navigate public transport on arrival day.
After the driving tour, you are dropped at Port de Bourdonnais, where you board a Bateaux Parisiens vessel for a two-hour lunch cruise along the Seine. Onboard commentary is available in 14 languages, and the route passes institutions such as the Musee d'Orsay, the Invalides, the Institut de France, and Notre Dame de Paris.
Because this is a panoramic tour, the itinerary does not include entry into the Louvre Museum or Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Eiffel Tower is visited from the outside only. After the cruise, guests make their own way to their hotel, making this an ideal experience to enjoy on the day of arrival before settling in.
