About this tour
See Paris’s defining landmarks on a three-hour experience that pairs guided walks with a Seine cruise. This Paris Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame walking tour and Seine cruise begins at the Eiffel Tower, where a local guide shares the stories, myths, and controversies behind its construction and points out photo spots. The tour explores the tower’s grounds but does not go inside.
Walk to the Seine and board a boat for a cruise through the heart of the city, traveling from the Eiffel Tower toward Notre-Dame. Along the way, take in Paris from the water as your guide adds context to the sights.

A macaron tasting rounds out the experience.

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.
