Travel from London to Paris by Eurostar, explore by sightseeing bus, and enjoy a three-course lunch cruise on the Seine.

About this tour

See Paris by rail, road and river on a full-day escape from London. Travel on Eurostar with reserved seats, then explore the city aboard a hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus, taking in its celebrated landmarks at your own pace. The independent, unescorted format lets you shape your sightseeing without a tour guide.

At 12:45 pm, board a two-hour Seine lunch cruise from Pier 7 at Port de la Bourdonnais, beside the Eiffel Tower. Enjoy a three-course lunch as Paris’s waterfront unfolds along the river. The cruise, bus ticket and return train journey are included, making it easy to combine three classic ways to experience the city in one day. An optional Eurostar Plus upgrade is available for extra legroom, a light meal and drinks.

After your Paris visit, return to Gare du Nord for the evening train to London. Check your ticket for current travel and check-in details, and make sure you have the documents required for crossing the UK-France border. Choose this Paris rail, sightseeing bus and Seine lunch cruise for a memorable day of city views and river scenery.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.47 from 17 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in London
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.5.
