Ride the Eiffel Tower elevator with a live guide, then admire Paris landmarks on a 1-hour Seine River cruise.

About this tour

See Paris from two unforgettable perspectives on a guided Eiffel Tower visit paired with a Seine River cruise. Meet your guide at 41 avenue de la Bourdonnais, then take the elevator to the tower’s second level using pre-booked access. As you look out over the city, your English-speaking guide shares commentary while Paris’s landmarks unfold below. Choose the summit option for pre-booked elevator access to the top, subject to the tower’s access restrictions.

After your tower visit, take in the city from the water on a 1-hour Seine cruise. The cruise ticket remains valid for 1 month after your Eiffel Tower visit, giving you flexibility to enjoy the river journey later. This Paris Eiffel Tower elevator tour and Seine cruise combines guided sightseeing above the rooftops with a relaxed view of the city from the river. Arrive 15 minutes early at the specified meeting point, then enjoy Paris from both heights and waterways.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.46 from 183 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 Paris
  • 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 4.9.
