“Our guide, EKAETTE, was amazing, so engaging and knowledgeable. She really made the tour fantastic because of her personality. I remembered a lot of facts about the Eiffel Tower because of her communication style. The tower was great, had a good time. Only problem is that the cruise was ridiculously busy and the line was way too long but what do you expect, all the different tours were all using this specific boat cruise company, so everyone goes there. We ended up not doing the cruise because it was too over crowded. Other than that it was great.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 2,310 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $483

You spend one Paris evening moving from a three-course dinner and Seine sights to the Eiffel Tower’s second floor, then Moulin Rouge’s Féerie show. The package includes Champagne, transport between major stops, and central Paris drop-off, but timing, shared tables, queues, and the cabaret dress code require careful planning.

“Best night of our trip (maybe our lives). Food was really good, live signer on the boat was wonderful, Eiffel tower and moulin rouge are good in their own right. Well organised tour, highly recommend!”
