Highlights of Eiffel tower, Seine river cruise and Paris illuminations night tour
- Paris, the city of love, and the city of lights, becomes a different place at night when the buildings and monuments are flood lit as darkness descends and the hourly light shows take place at the Eiffel Tower – It's a magical time to see Paris in all its glory.
- You travel along a stretch of the UNESCO protected river Seine on a glass-topped riverboat that provides you with panoramic views plus commentary so you can learn all about the places you are passing as you snap picture upon picture or just sit back, relax, and soak up the atmospheric views.
- Back on dry land, a modern air-conditioned coach drives you through the most picturesque streets showing you the boulevards and squares in all their glory when the lights come on and the sun goes down. There's audio commentary on the coach so you'll know exactly what you're passing.
- Last but certainly not least, the highlight of the evening with fast-track entry to the 2nd floor viewing platform of the Eiffel Tower timed just perfectly to get you there on time to witness the hourly light show.
Is It Suitable for Me?
- Perfect for first time visitors whether couples, solo travellers, families, or friends but not really suited to young children due to the late finish.
- The best way to see as much of Paris as possible in as short a time as possible.
- Commentary is provided on the boat and on the bus so you'll be able to learn about the sights you're passing on the way.
- If you're intent on seeing the lights of Paris make sure you time your visit right – Summer tours take place partially in daylight so plan ahead to avoid being disappointed.
Your Experience With Eiffel tower, Seine river cruise and Paris illuminations night tour?
- The first part of this city sightseeing trip at night is a 1 hour river cruise along the Seine on a glass-topped riverboat that gives you the best panoramic views of Paris. Sit inside if you want to hear the commentary as the top riverside sites pass by, or stand outside and soak up the lights, the atmosphere, and the magic of Paris.
- Next, leaving the gentle lull of the water behind, you'll board an air-conditioned coach and ride through the boulevards of Paris admiring the architecture that's lit up at night (if on a timed trip that takes place outside of daylight) and learning all about the sights and the city from audio commentary.
- The magical evening ends with a ride up to the 2nd floor viewing platform of the Eiffel Tower where you can look down on the river and roads that you've just travelled on and enjoy the hourly light show from the ground as you now begin to understand why Paris is called the city of lights.
