Please note as the French capital is far from the port, you have limited time for exploration. This shore excursion offers a panoramic tour of significant sights, including a stop at the Eiffel Tower, followed by shopping and dining at iconic locations around the Champs-Élysées. If you are interested in more extensive sightseeing, we recommend our other Parisian shore excursion. Due to the limited time in port, it is impossible to combine shopping, a sit-down meal, and sightseeing. Decide which option suits you best, and we'll ensure unforgettable memories.
Whichever of the two versions of this tour you choose: have trust in our decade-long experience in organizing shore excursions and explore the shores with us in comfort, with peace of mind. Booking a tour during your cruise can be stressful, but not with us!

Visiting the Eiffel Tower during our tours:
We'd like to inform you that our standard itineraries do not include an opportunity to visit the Eiffel Tower's interior. Here are the reasons and some considerations if you still wish to explore it on your own:
During the high season, it is recommended to allocate at least 1.5 to 2 hours for the entire Eiffel Tower experience, even with a skip-the-line ticket. This is due to the time required for security checks, ascent, and descent.
Our two tour options allocate 15-30 minutes at the Eiffel Tower. If you wish to explore further, you may visit independently and rejoin the tour by taxi later. However, please note that you'll need to locate the tour group on your own, as shared tours follow a predetermined route and cannot be delayed for individual preferences.
While we understand your enthusiasm for visiting the Eiffel Tower, we generally advise against it during our tour, as it may consume most of your time in Paris on a busy day. Nonetheless, if it's a priority for you, we'll do our best to support your decision and help facilitate the experience.
For a more personalized experience, we offer customizable guided private or semi-private tours with licensed Parisian guides who can create the perfect itinerary just for you. If you're interested, please contact us for a custom quote, and let's work together to create an unforgettable Parisian adventure.
We have received your inquiry. We will contact you as soon as possible!
