Giverny, Seine River Cruise and Eiffel Tower Photoshoot with Private Transfer

A full-day private experience combining Monet's legendary gardens, a Seine cruise, and a professional photo session at the Eiffel Tower.


This private Paris and Giverny tour with photoshoot takes you from the impressionist landscapes of Normandy to the iron silhouette of the Eiffel Tower, with a professional photographer at your side to capture every moment. You travel in a private vehicle from door to door, making the journey as comfortable as the destinations themselves.

The day begins with a drive to Giverny, the small Norman village where Claude Monet lived and painted for more than four decades. His former home and the gardens that inspired the celebrated Water Lilies series are now preserved as the Foundation Claude Monet museum, open from early spring through late autumn in a rotating display of color and fragrance.

Back in Paris, the afternoon brings the Eiffel Tower into focus. Built by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Exposition Universelle, the tower marked the centennial of the French Revolution and stood as a testament to the engineering ambitions of the industrial era. Today it draws nearly seven million visitors annually and remains the most visited ticketed monument in the world.

A one-hour Seine River cruise with recorded commentary rounds out the experience, offering a relaxed view of the Parisian skyline before the private vehicle returns you to your hotel. The professional photographer accompanies you for one dedicated hour during the Eiffel Tower visit, ensuring you leave with polished, high-quality images.
