Join Vedettes de Paris for a one-hour evening Seine cruise from the Eiffel Tower. You will pass the Louvre, Notre-Dame, Musée d’Orsay, and grand bridges aboard a quiet electric boat, with music throughout. There is no guide onboard, but the free app offers commentary in 10 languages.
“Loved everything about this experience beautiful scenery would recommend”
Spend an hour on the Seine with views of Notre Dame, the Louvre, Parisian bridges, and the Eiffel Tower. Cruise by day, at sunset, or after dark, using a multilingual audio guide. Your ticket also includes a treat or drink collected separately at Trocadéro.
“We timed this perfectly so we did one way in daylight/dusk the other way getting dark, so everything was lit up. It was magical and we really enjoyed it!”
Ride an open-top double-decker through Paris after dark, passing the Champs-Élysées, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre, Notre Dame, Moulin Rouge, and Eiffel Tower. Digital commentary is available in nine languages, with a covered lower deck for poor weather. The route returns to 156 Avenue des Champs-Élysées.
“great driver, would have liked get off bus for eifel tower”
Cruise the Seine for one hour from Port de la Bourdonnais, passing Notre-Dame, the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, and glittering bridges. Choose the glass-covered lower deck or open upper deck, use multilingual commentary, and redeem a sugar or chocolate waffle near Trocadéro before or after your ride.
“Couldn’t really hear the tour guide because we were upfront on top other than that it was pretty perfect. Thank you.”
Meet near the Eiffel Tower, ride past Paris landmarks by air-conditioned coach, and finish at the Moulin Rouge for the Féérie cabaret with Champagne. The city tour uses a multilingual audio app rather than a live guide, while hosts such as Claudio and Rosa have helped make the evening easy to follow.
“I loved the show. The additional city tour and the boat tour were expensive and not necessary with the moulin Rogue show itself”
Ride through Paris at night in a private vintage Citroen 2CV with a local driver-guide. Expect the Champs-Elysees, Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Notre Dame, Montmartre, and photo stops. Guides such as Alain, Celine, Remi, and Thomas tailor the route when time allows.
“Max was a phenomenal guide and went above and beyond to personalize our experience. Highly recommend.”
Join Corsica Marittima for a 2.5 to 3-hour sunset cruise from Ajaccio or Porticcio. A French or English-speaking captain, sometimes Tom, takes up to 12 people by RIB to Mezu Mare, a sheltered swimming cove, and a Corsican wine and charcuterie aperitif.
“Super organisation. pro et conviviale. Le site est superbe, belles sensations de vitesse avec le bateau semi rigide. En prime, on a eu la chance de croiser 2 fois des dauphins.”
Walk for about two hours from Pont Neuf to Hôtel de Ville with an English-speaking guide. Hear dark tales tied to the Conciergerie, the Templars, the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, the French Revolution, and Paris under Nazi occupation. Expect history first, ghosts second.
“I would like to thank Kritika for such a resourceful evening, full of scary, sometimes even yerinle stories in the darkness of Paris was very effective!”
Board Tootbus at the Louvre for a two-hour, non-stop Paris night tour. Your open-top, clean-energy bus passes Notre Dame, Concorde, the Champs-Élysées, Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, Moulin Rouge, and Opera, with audio in 10 languages and app-based walking tours.
“We love this night time tour! You get the best views of all the landmarks at night, especially the Eiffel Tower when it is glittering. Nothing beats these views.”
Ride from the Champs-Elysées on a roughly two-hour Paris night tour past the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Moulin Rouge, Notre-Dame, and Palais Garnier. Eight-language audio commentary, free Wi-Fi, and earbuds are included. The roof closes in poor weather, and the bus returns to its starting point.
“The bus never showed up, we received no message about it, and the operator is not responsive. Total waste of time.”
Ride through evening Paris with a small group of up to 16 people, passing Notre Dame, the Louvre, the Seine, Pont des Arts, Musée d’Orsay, and the Eiffel Tower. Guides such as Andrew, Toby, Soto, and Annie have led lively, safety-minded outings, though the guide and final route can vary.
“Andrea and Vlad were fun guides. They made sure we saw the sights in a safe way while riding bikes through town. It was a fun few hours that I recommend doing at the beginning of your trip to Paris to get an idea of where you’d like to visit and of course see the Eiffel Tower lit at night.”
Board at Port Solferino for a 75-minute early evening Seine cruise. Enjoy a three-course French dinner, coffee or tea, and views of the Musée d’Orsay, Notre Dame, the Louvre, Pont Neuf, and the Eiffel Tower as daylight fades. Window seating and premium dishes may cost extra.
“I took my mum for this cruise and we both absolutely loved it. The views the atmosphere and food were amazing . Will definitely ok the same cruise next time we are in Paris 10/10”
Join Kapalouest’s two-hour French-language sunset cruise aboard a 16-meter maxi-catamaran. You’ll leave from the old harbor, pass the Richelieu Tower and Les Minimes, then sail under open canvas while the sun drops over the sea. Bring a picnic, warm layers, and a camera.
“This is the most fabulous cruise, we so enjoyed the experience, the staff are amazing and so helpful and make everything about this outing just perfect. This is a wonderful boat trip to take, it’s a great experience and gives you unequalled views of La Rochelle and the glorious sunset over the sea. I cannot recommend it more highly.”
From Porticcio, JPS Aventure takes you by boat to Mezzu Mare, the largest Sanguinaires Island. Expect a lively 30-minute crossing, about an hour to walk to the 1870 lighthouse or swim, and a sunset return with music. Captains Greg and Thomas are praised for friendly, clear guidance.
“Great tour, fun music, saw dolphins and watched one of the most beautiful sunsets ever! The wine was excellent. The company gives you about an hour to explore island”
Ride through central Paris at sunset and after dark with Fat Tire Tours. Your English-speaking guide leads you past the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, and the Académie Française. Bikes and helmets are included, and some departures finish with a Seine cruise, so confirm that detail when booking.
“Paris by Night on bike - great experience. we had a great time with my daughter. Highly recommended!”
Pick a city, a coast or a cellar.
