What to expect
Your guide meets you and sets the day's pace—never rushed. You'll walk neighbourhoods where locals live and work, stopping at squares and bridges to absorb the feel of the city. Metro rides feel like part of the adventure rather than logistics; kids get a genuine sense of how Parisians move around. The Seine cruise is the centrepiece: you'll float past Notre-Dame, the Louvre, and other riverside landmarks from a different perspective. Walking segments are interspersed with sits-down moments. The Eiffel Tower view comes from a well-chosen public spot, so you're not jostling through crowds at the base. Expect a mix of structured sightseeing and breathing room for questions and wonder.
Good to know
Bring comfortable shoes for uneven Parisian pavements. Public transport tickets are included, but metro stations have stairs (no lifts everywhere). Lunch isn't provided—plan a picnic or café stop. The tour requires moderate fitness; frequent walking with breaks, not strenuous hiking. Not suitable if kids cannot manage one hour on a boat.
