About this tour

See Paris glow from the road and from above on a Paris Eiffel Tower and Illuminations Coach Tour. A panoramic coach ride introduces you to landmarks including Notre-Dame, Île de la Cité, Les Invalides, and the Latin Quarter, with audio commentary available in 10 languages. The city tour is scheduled for about an hour, though traffic can affect its length.

Then head to the Eiffel Tower for elevator access to the second floor or summit, depending on your selected option. From the tower, take in sweeping 360-degree views across the City of Light. A multilingual hostess is available during the Eiffel Tower visit, and audio guidance for both activities is provided through a smartphone app. Bring your own earphones and download the app using the QR code supplied by the team.

The coach tour and tower visit may happen in either order, and security checks can add waiting time.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • 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. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
