Seine Cruise, Eiffel Tower and Giverny Tour
Three iconic Paris experiences combined into one seamless private full-day journey.
This Paris private day tour combining Giverny, the Eiffel Tower, and a Seine River cruise brings together three of the region's most celebrated attractions in a single, well-paced itinerary. A dedicated chauffeur collects you from your hotel in a climate-controlled vehicle and handles all logistics throughout the day. The result is a relaxed, immersive experience without the usual pressures of self-guided travel.
The journey begins with a drive to Giverny, the Normandy village where Impressionist painter Claude Monet lived and worked from 1883 until his death in 1926. His carefully preserved house and the elaborate gardens that inspired his famous water lily series are now home to the Foundation Claude Monet museum. An audio guide accompanies your visit, adding depth to what you see at every turn.
Back in Paris, a guided visit to the second floor of the Eiffel Tower follows, with tickets included. The tower was constructed by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Exposition Universelle and remains one of the most visited paid monuments in the world. The day closes with a one-hour Seine River cruise, during which onboard commentary in 14 languages narrates the landmarks gliding past your window.
The Seine flows through the heart of Paris and passes some of its most significant buildings, including the Musee d'Orsay, the Assemblee Nationale, the Invalides, the Institut de France, and Notre Dame de Paris. The cruise departs from the foot of the Eiffel Tower, making the transition between activities smooth and logical. At the end of the cruise, your chauffeur returns you to your hotel.
