★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 7,329 reviews · 3 hours · from $79

Meet your English-speaking guide near the Eiffel Tower for reserved elevator access to the first and second floors, with optional summit entry. After exploring at your own pace, use your Les Bateaux Parisiens ticket for a one-hour Seine cruise, on the same day or within six months.

“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.”

“Horrible experience. Upon checking in I was bullied into purchasing a taxi ride back to my hotel and lied to about uber not being allowed to pick up passengers after the cruise ended. It was $44 for less than a 2 mile drive. The cab driver did not even show up (allocab) and they still pushed the charge through. I’m having to dispute it. The cruise experience was also terrible. The food was bad and the servers were rude! I wish I had my money back.”
