Skipping the line at the start. The audio guides made the museum experience great. Seeing the Mona Lisa but moreover the large painting behind it depicting the wedding where Jesus performed his first miracle.

The person who was supposed to guide us was on time. She explained the history and present day of the Eiffel Tower very well. She was also very friendly. My son and I thank her for taking a photo of us on the Eiffel Tower.

Why combine the Eiffel Tower and Seine River Cruise?

✔️ Proximity

Both attractions are steps apart; the cruise dock sits just below the Eiffel Tower, making it effortless to visit both in one trip.

✔️ Dual perspective

Experience Paris from two completely different views: the stunning panoramas from the Eiffel Tower, and a closer, more relaxed look at Parisian landmarks from the Seine.

✔️ Budget-friendly

Save both time and money by skipping the hassle of buying separate tickets. Combo tickets are often cheaper, letting you enjoy both experiences without breaking the bank.

✔️ Convenience

Combining the tickets makes your visit much easier. You can avoid the stress of multiple bookings and scheduling conflicts, leaving you more time to simply enjoy your Paris adventure.

  • Avoid bulky bags at the tower: Security checks are strict, so travellight.
  • Board a cruise near the tower: Choosing a cruise departure close to Eiffel Tower saves transport time.
  • Choose the top-deck seat: For the best views on the cruise, arrive ~45 min before hand to grab seats on the upper decks.
  • For front-row views: For indoor cruises, upgrade to a window seat, usually available for a small premium, for an unobstructed view of the Seine.
  • Golden hour for photos: Cruises in the early morning or late afternoon (Golden hour) have soft lighting that’ss perfect for capturing the beauty of Paris, especially when the Eiffel Tower glows at sunset or sparkles at night.
  • Weather considerations: Open-air decks are perfect on sunny days, but Paris weather can be unpredictable. In fall or winter, it’s best to choose a cruise with indoor or dual seating to stay comfortable.
