The 15 City Tours in Paris We Would Book Again

1.Eiffel Tower Summit Option with Seine River Cruise and City Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 2,176 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $120Our pick

You’ll visit the Eiffel Tower’s second floor, with a summit option, ride an air-conditioned coach past Paris landmarks, and take a one-hour Seine cruise. The experience uses multilingual audio rather than a guide throughout, so plan your timing carefully and confirm which ticket option you purchased.

“When I bought the tickets it said that I could buy the ticket to the top of the tower. When I asked the guide he told me that I could not. When we were on the 2nd floor I was told by security that I could buy it but downstairs. Then the city tour in the bus was not pleasant because there was no internet connection and therefore we could not hear anything. The walk to the Seine was very good.”

4.Eiffel Tower Hosted Tour, Seine Cruise and City Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,507 reviews · 3 - 4 hours · from $116

“While the tour package is intended to provide an introduction to Paris, the audio on the bus were not well timed with the scene being discussed. The trip to the Eiffel Tower was cancelled and Montparness was substituted. A refund was not provided. My tour of Versailles was cancelled so we purchased tickets for the Eiffel Tower in the long line (which I tried to avoid by pre purchasing online). Very disappointing. The river cruise provided the best service..”

12.Eiffel Tower Tickets and City Bus Tour

“Although the sightseeing is a bit expensive (as every thing in Parfis), I still recommend it: you learn a lot about Paris during the bus ride (they do have recorded explanations in most European languages, and they even offer specially designed "childrens versions"), and the "premium" entry to the Tour de Eiffel is worth every single cent. We would do it again!”
