Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe Private Tour
A full-day private journey through the most iconic landmarks of Paris, paired with wine tasting and a Seine River cruise.
This Eiffel Tower private tour gives you exclusive access to the second floor of the tower along with a guided visit to the Arc de Triomphe, all in a single well-organized seven-hour experience. A dedicated expert host accompanies you throughout, providing historical context and handling logistics so you can focus entirely on the experience.
Paris rewards those who explore it with intention. This tour pairs two of the city's defining monuments with complementary experiences, including a one-hour Seine River cruise and a stop at local wine shops for tasting sessions that reflect the city's deep wine culture.
The Arc de Triomphe stands at the heart of Parisian history, commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1806 to honor French military victories. Its reliefs, inscriptions, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier make it one of the most historically layered monuments in Europe.
Transfers between each attraction take approximately 90 minutes, giving you comfortable time to absorb each location before moving on. The pace is designed to be relaxed, making this an ideal choice for travelers who want depth rather than a rushed checklist.

Tour Itinerary
Your tour begins at the Eiffel Tower, built by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Exposition Universelle to mark the centenary of the French Revolution. Constructed in just over two years, the tower remains one of the most recognized structures in the world, welcoming nearly seven million visitors each year. You will ascend to the second floor using your included e-tickets, with your host providing context on the tower's history and engineering significance.
Departing from near the Eiffel Tower, you board a one-hour cruise along the Seine River. Recorded commentary guides you through the landmarks visible from the water, offering a different perspective on the city's architecture and layout.
Your private driver takes you to selected wine shops in Paris where you can sample a range of French wines. This stop reflects the city's long-standing wine culture and gives you a chance to discover varieties you may want to bring home.
The final major stop is the Arc de Triomphe, standing 50 meters tall at the western end of the Champs-Elysees. Commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1806, the monument is decorated with relief sculptures and inscriptions honoring French generals and battles. Your host will walk you through the historical significance of the site, including the perpetually burning flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
