About this tour
Combine a guided walk around the Eiffel Tower with a self-guided Seine cruise in two hours. Your guide meets you near the tower and spends an hour helping you find the best vantage points for photographs before escorting you to the boat pier. You'll then spend an hour cruising the Seine with multilingual recorded commentary, taking in the city's landmarks from the water without a guide alongside.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide near the Eiffel Tower base and spend sixty minutes walking the immediate area. The guide isn't a photographer but will point out strong composition spots and answer questions as you move along the Seine's banks. After this, you'll walk independently to the boat pier and board a river cruiser. The next hour unfolds at your own pace with recorded narration (available in several languages) describing the sights you float past—bridges, museums, and historic quays gliding by. Expect crowds near the tower, calmer waters on the boat.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a camera or phone charged for photos. The tour involves significant standing. Tower entry tickets aren't included. Public transport is nearby if needed. Check boat departure times; you'll navigate to the pier independently after your guide departs.
