Paris Private Vintage Car Tour with Seine Cruise, Open Bus, and Hotel Pick-Up

Discover the City of Light the classic way, from a vintage 2CV to the open decks of a hop-on hop-off bus and the calm waters of the Seine.


This Paris private vintage car tour brings together three of the most iconic ways to experience the French capital in a single five-hour journey. You are collected directly from your hotel, so there is no need to navigate public transport or figure out where to buy tickets in advance.

A private chauffeur drives you through the city in a classic 2CV, stopping at the Eiffel Tower and the glass pyramid of the Louvre for photo opportunities. From there, you board a Seine river cruise that glides past landmarks including Notre-Dame, the Orsay Museum, and the Invalides, with onboard commentary available in fourteen languages.

The experience continues with a one-hour hop-on hop-off open-top bus ride, covering the Paris Opera, Champs-Elysees, Arc de Triomphe, and more. Your 24-hour bus ticket is purchased for you, meaning you can extend the ride beyond the guided hour if you choose.

Approximately one hour of the tour is spent travelling between attractions inside the private vehicle. This gives you a comfortable orientation of the city and a chance to take in the streetscapes of Paris between stops.

Tour Itinerary

1
Hotel Pick-Up in a Vintage 2CV

Your private chauffeur collects you directly from your Paris hotel in a classic 2CV. The vintage car sets the tone for the journey and provides an immediate introduction to the city's streets and neighbourhoods.

2
Eiffel Tower Photo Stop

The car stops at the closest accessible point to the Eiffel Tower for a dedicated photo session. Built by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Exposition Universelle, the tower remains the most visited paid monument in the world, receiving nearly seven million visitors annually.

3
Louvre Museum and Glass Pyramid

Your driver drops you as close as possible to the Louvre, from where a short five-minute walk leads to the famous glass pyramid. The museum holds over 35,000 works including the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, and the Winged Victory of Samothrace.

4
Champs-Elysees and Arc de Triomphe Drive

The vintage car takes you along the two-kilometre stretch of the Avenue des Champs-Elysees between the Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe. The Arc honours those who fought during the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, and shelters the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier beneath its vault.

5
Seine River Cruise

Boarding at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, the one-hour cruise travels past the Assemblee Nationale, Invalides, Musee d'Orsay, Institut de France, and Notre-Dame de Paris. Commentary is available in fourteen languages and cameras are welcome throughout.

6
Hop-On Hop-Off Open Bus Experience

Your chauffeur delivers you to the bus boarding point where your pre-purchased 24-hour ticket is ready to use. The open-top route covers the Paris Opera, Sainte-Chapelle, Grand Palais, Les Invalides, and many more central landmarks.
