Paris Tour with Guide: Louvre Museum, Eiffel Tower and Seine River Cruise

Experience Paris intensely in a single day with this 9-hour guided tour that combines the city's best cultural, historical and scenic attractions. You'll begin your tour in Montmartre, the charming bohemian quarter, with a funicular ride to the Sacré-Cœur Basilica. From there, you'll explore its cobbled streets full of history and art, passing vineyards, windmills and iconic cafés.

Next, you'll take the metro to the Louvre Museum, where you'll avoid the queues with pre-booked tickets. Together with your guide, you'll take a 90-minute tour of some of the world's most important masterpieces, including the Mona Lisa, while learning the fascinating stories behind them.

After a lunch break on your own, you'll continue to the Île de la Cité, where you'll walk among legendary monuments such as Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Conciergerie and the elegant Place Dauphine. You'll also briefly visit the Latin Quarter, stopping in front of sites such as Shakespeare and Company.

The day culminates with a visit to the Place du Trocadéro, which offers the best views of the Eiffel Tower. Although the tour does not include access to the Tower, your guide will tell you how to purchase tickets if you wish to go up later.

To round off the day, you'll enjoy a relaxing one-hour cruise along the Seine, watching the city sparkle in the evening lights.
