Highlights
Choose the Paris view that fits your style, then let the city do the rest. Select an English-guided Eiffel Tower visit to the 2nd floor or summit, or pick a combo that pairs the tower with a Seine River cruise for an extra layer of Paris magic. Start at the Eiffel Tower and ride the elevator up to the 2nd floor, where the skyline spreads out in every direction. If the summit option is selected, continue higher by elevator to reach the tower’s highest level, including highlights like Gustave Eiffel’s private office. From there, enjoy a true 360° panorama over Paris landmarks. If the chosen option includes the Seine cruise, the next chapter is effortless. Boats depart from the Eiffel Tower area, so it’s easy to fit into your day. The cruise ticket is flexible and can be used the same day or another day, up to one year from booking. A multilingual audio guide from the cruise operator is included as you glide past Paris along the UNESCO-listed banks of the Seine.

Itinerary
Take the elevator up the tower with your pre-booked tickets. From the second floor or summit, enjoy sweeping views of Paris as you spot the Arc de Triomphe, the Seine River, and the Louvre in the distance, all framed by the city skyline.
Pause at the statue of Gustave Eiffel, the visionary behind the tower. This hidden gem at the base is often missed by visitors, but it’s the perfect way to connect with the history of Paris’s most iconic landmark.
Before or after your tower entry, use the immersive app to follow one of two 1.5-hour routes through Paris. Each stop includes its own audioguide story, bringing the city to life as you discover hidden gems, fashion hotspots, scandals, and perfect Eiffel Tower photo moments.
Prefer to relax instead? Board a Seine River cruise and see Paris from a fresh perspective, right from the water. Glide past famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides, the Musée d’Orsay, the Louvre, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and Île de la Cité, with beautiful bridges and classic riverfront views along the way.

About Paris
Paris pairs grand boulevards and riverside monuments with café terraces, art collections of global stature and neighbourhoods that feel like villages.
The Seine runs through the heart of the city, past the Île de la Cité with Notre-Dame and the Sainte-Chapelle, the long façade of the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay in its former railway station. Downriver, the Eiffel Tower rises over the Champ de Mars, and the Arc de Triomphe crowns the Champs-Élysées.
