Le Marais Walking Tour and Seine River Dinner Cruise with CDG Airport Pickup
Discover historic cobblestone streets and glide along the river under the Parisian skyline, all in one evening.
This six-hour private experience combines a guided Le Marais walking tour and Seine dinner cruise into one seamless evening, beginning with a direct pickup from Charles de Gaulle Airport. A private air-conditioned vehicle with a professional chauffeur handles all transfers so you arrive at each destination relaxed and on time.
Le Marais is one of the most historically layered neighborhoods in Paris, stretching across the 4th arrondissement with medieval townhouses, 17th-century mansions, and lively streets that now house independent boutiques and internationally recognized museums. The district takes its name from the marshland on which it was built, and that village-like character has endured across centuries.
After the walking tour, your chauffeur drives you to Port de Bourdonnais, where you board a Bateaux Parisiens vessel for a 2.5-hour dinner cruise along the Seine. The route passes iconic landmarks including the Eiffel Tower, the Invalides, the Musee d'Orsay, Institut de France, and Notre Dame de Paris, with onboard commentary available in 14 languages.
This itinerary is rated easy and suits travelers of most fitness levels. The walking portion covers flat cobblestone streets and lasts approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, with no strenuous terrain involved.
