Our tour Guide, Sol, was a 10/10! Her english was clear and easy to understand. Her enthusiasm was great! She was patient, informed, with an engaging delivery of the information. She was eager to answer any questions, made sure our group of 7 was kept together, patiently acted as photographer for everyone in the group, and provided a great history of the tower. The boat ride was pleasant, but with much less info provided about the buildings along the way.

Simple online booking, although very negative reviews for headout can be read on the net. I risked it anyway, due to positive experience and YES!!!!!!!, the booked guided tours Eiffel Tower to the top and boat tour on the Seine were a mega experience. What I would particularly like to mention is that after booking I received super good instructions on how everything would proceed. Right down to the last detail and what can I say, that makes a city tour relaxed. Thanks to headout!!!👍 By the way, many thanks to Nihad, our tour guide that day, who managed to bridge the waiting time in a friendly, funny and informative way! THANK YOU!!!

Although i had the eiffel tour completed in time (daniela as guide was good), there was an issue with the river cruise. I spent more than 2 hours going back and forth, talking with the support via the chat and trying to get valid tickets, something that ruined the rest of my schedule during that day. Also, many times the chat was timing out due to no action happening, making me enter the login details from the beginning. The good part was that someone from support was on the chat, even after some minutes delay.

Checkin was a little confusing; almost missed getting the information on how to access the boat cruise. Once the tour started, our Guide was excellent and shared some great info about the Eiffel Tower. Liked that he shared it all and then we were free to explore on our own. Line-ups for elevator were as expected, so be prepared to stand for awhile.

Labeled "Eiffel Tower Guided Tour by Elevator", it was more like a "Hosted Tour" with some splashes of "Guiding". We did skip some lines, and had a generally good experience, but we expected a lot more guiding than what we got.

We thought that the tour would be guided the whole time. It was written in the mail that it is a guided tour that lasts 2 hours. Nowhere was it written that the tour guide would leave us at the Eiffel Tower, and no one said that you could then stay at the Eiffel Tower as long as you wanted, that you could simply do the boat tour at some point, e.g. days / weeks later, that we would not arrive back at the boat tour on the Seine where the stopping point is where you left the boat tour. Suddenly we docked at another boat and had to get off because the tour supposedly ended here for us. We had to walk back a long way to get back to the starting point. There was a link to the navigation to the meeting point for the ascent to the Eiffel Tower but no navigation to the boat dock. No more guidance. We lacked all this information. Therefore we were very disappointed and would not book a tour with them again and would not recommend them to others. Quite the opposite . We paid just under €100 per person for it. I think you can provide all this information about how it really works. Then we wouldn't have had to be so annoyed and we would have saved ourselves a few kilometers on the way back. With not so pleasant greetings Petra Krüler

I broke my foot several days before and I was not allowed to go past the first or second level because of it. The rest of my family travelled to the top. Our guide, Mathias from Argentina was terrific and very nice. They wouldn't allow me to go to the top because they were afraid of an evacuation that I wouldn't be able to take the stairs, but meanwhile, they told me to take the stairs down one level and there was no other way to get down. Plus, I had a walking boot. As a result, my husband got separated from us and we had to wait an hour to reunite the whole family because I couldn't stay with them.

What I liked the most was hyperspace Mountain, a fast and enclosed roller coaster, like a trip in space. But I didn't rate it as a great experience because Big Thunder Mountain is closed, under repair 😭. The park is very nice, has lots of rides for little kids and a variety of themed restaurants. The most emotional part of Disneyland Paris is the parade of characters and the closing.

The Art is the reason to come to Paris from 7500 miles away, it is the investment made by this city over hundreds of years ago that pays off year after year as people continue continue to come to make a pilgrimage as we did on our 40th wedding anniversary. Sadly this is a once in a lifetime trip for us. We took as much as we could take in in the few days we could afford. It was terrific. A professor of mine came to do special research here after he retired. Linda and I got married a couple of years before he came to work at the Louvre. Victor Chan was a great professor at the University of Alberta with a personal collection of drawings worthy of the Louvre.

I am happy with this experience because it was one of my wife's birthday presents-she was really happy and that's what counts! Unfortunately, however, I must observe that the one and a half hour wait to go up the tower was really too long and inexplicable! Especially since having already bought tickets we should have had priority. Luckily we had a very nice and very good guide Mademoiselle LIZ who entertained us by telling us the history of Eiffel, many funny stories and many anecdotes that made the wait less heavy.

Great Experience – Even at 11 PM! We booked our Eiffel Tower visit for 11 PM because no earlier times were available — but in the end, we were glad! There were hardly any people, and we got through security and up the elevator very quickly. The night view over Paris was absolutely breathtaking. If we visit again, we definitely want to go all the way up to the third floor!

It was all so easy! Booking online, following the directions to the pier, finding the perfect seat (down below and outside-perfect) The one hour fit into our schedule perfectly and covered all the important sites. It is so great to see Paris from the perspective of the river as well! - and the price is extreamly resonable!

The Hollywood Tower Hotel ride was hands down the highlight of my visit! The suspense builds perfectly, and the free-fall drop gave me such an adrenaline rush! I also appreciated how smooth the entry process was with Headout’s ticketing—super quick and hassle-free. Everything ran so efficiently that I could just enjoy the thrill. This ride absolutely made my day unforgettable!

We lucked out being the only one on the tour and it was the night of my 40th birthday- it felt so special! Rafael was a fantastic guide- he walked us up through some beautiful photo spots, took lots of pictures of my husband and I, and answered all of our questions not just about the Eiffel Tower but about life in Paris. It wasn't a crowded night but it was still so nice to follow someone who knew exactly where to go and just be able to take it all in. Highly recommend this experience!

What a great experience from start to finish almost :) we started the tour outside the pick up address and like most we arrived early tami the tour guide was amazing but she was just filling in as Abbie our actual guide was running late due to metro issue. That being said tami was amazing got us through security and to the lift quickly and efficiently. Abbie arrived just as we where about to board the lift very apologetic and with her note book in hand proceeded to take our tour with an abundance of information. We loved it the kids loved it and it was an amazing experience we will never forget. Thinking of doing one I'd definitely recommend it the Eiffel Tower is a must!

I am happy with this experience because it was one of my wife's birthday presents-she was really happy and that's what counts! Unfortunately, however, I must observe that the one and a half hour wait to go up the tower was really too long and inexplicable! Especially since having already bought tickets we should have had priority. Luckily we had a very nice and very good guide Mademoiselle LIZ who entertained us by telling us the history of Eiffel, many funny stories and many anecdotes that made the wait less heavy.

Our guide Nihad (Headout/Experience First) was very good! He made the 2.5 hour wait, including 2 hours to get on the lift, more pleasant with good entertainment. Despite having booked a ticket and guide, we had to wait a long time. You would have had the same waiting time even without a reservation. This was not apparent anywhere beforehand. There were hundreds of people with reservations at the meeting point. However, the organization and division into small groups of about 15 was very good. Waiting time at the first security entrance was short. The elevator is clearly a bottleneck. Regardless of whether you have a reservation or not!

One of the highlights was certainly the guide itself. Chinelo. A fashion design student in Paris. She bridged the long wait in front of the elevator with charm and a lot of knowledge. She was entertaining, led the group well and kept us in a good mood. Especially in the annoying time before the elevators. I wish her every success and that Chinelo can guide many more people to the Eiffel Tower.

We were able to get to the top of the Eiffel Tower, which had been closed a little earlier, thanks to the tour guide's good knowledge of the route and a bit of tact. A wow view over Paris at night, from a height of "300 m". We were also given a lot of knowledge in passing. Thanks to "Professor JD" for that!!!

What I would particularly like to mention is that after booking I received super good instructions on how everything would proceed. Right down to the last detail and what can I say, that makes a city tour relaxed. Thanks to headout!!!👍 By the way, many thanks to Nihad, our tour guide that day, who managed to bridge the waiting time in a friendly, funny and informative way! THANK YOU!!!

We were very well guided to climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower, with good explanations. Finally the cruise on the Seine we loved not only for the beauty of the tour, its duration 1 hour and a half and all the historical account that our guide gave us.

ParisEiffel Tower TicketsThe Eiffel & Seine experience

When you’re in Paris, there’s no better way to really get a feel for the city than by experiencing it from two different angles—the top of the Eiffel Tower and the calm waters of the Seine. The Eiffel Tower gives you a bird’s-eye view of Paris, letting you see the entire city unfold below you. Then, a cruise along the Seine lets you float through the heart of Paris, with beautiful landmarks passing by. Combining both gives you a complete experience of the city, letting you appreciate its beauty from every perspective.

Read on to know how you can make the most of these experiences in one go, the ticket options and more!

Why combine the Eiffel Tower & Seine River experience?

✔️ Dual perspective

Experience Paris from two completely different views. Take in the stunning panoramic views from the top of the Eiffel Tower, then float along the Seine for a closer, more relaxed look at Parisian landmarks from the water.

✔️ Complementary experiences

The Eiffel Tower gives you a grand, iconic view of the city, while the Seine River cruise lets you unwind and enjoy Paris from a different angle—up close and personal as you glide past the city’s famous sights.

✔️ 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.

What’s the best way to go about it?

Buying individual tickets

  • Best for: Travelers who prefer flexibility in scheduling or have specific plans around each attraction.
  • Pricing & value: Individual tickets give you control over your timing, but dynamic pricing can sometimes result in higher costs, especially during peak season.
  • Availability & reservations: The Eiffel Tower requires timed entry, and Seine cruises can sell out during peak hours. Booking separately means managing both reservations carefully.
  • Experience flow: Without pre-scheduled times, you may experience waiting periods or rushed visits, reducing your ability to enjoy the full experience.

Recommended tickets

  • 1-Hour Seine River Sightseeing Cruise from the Eiffel Tower
  • Eiffel Tower Guided Tour by Elevator: Summit or Second Floor

Getting combo tickets

  • Best for: Those looking for a seamless, well-planned experience without the stress of separate bookings.
  • Pricing & value: Combo tickets are often priced lower than purchasing separately, making them a cost-effective option for a full Parisian day.
  • Guaranteed entry & scheduling ease: Pre-arranged time slots for both the Eiffel Tower and the Seine cruise ensure smooth transitions between the two, with less time spent managing bookings.
  • Time efficiency: Optimized schedules mean less waiting, allowing you to enjoy both experiences at a relaxed pace.

Making the most of your experience

Timing your visits

  • Morning: Start your day early at the Eiffel Tower to enjoy crisp views with fewer crowds, followed by a peaceful Seine River cruise as the city wakes up.
  • Afternoon: Experience the transition from the heights of the Eiffel Tower to the serene flow of the Seine. Golden sunlight on the water offers a beautiful photo op.
  • Evening: Watch the Eiffel Tower illuminate as you cruise along the Seine, sipping wine and soaking in the Parisian night.

Combining tickets: How to book efficiently

Booking both the Eiffel Tower and a Seine River cruise together is an easy and efficient way to make the most of your time in Paris. You can either opt for a guided tour or a hosted entry, with the added bonus of a Seine River cruise for a seamless experience. Here's why it's the best way to experience both:

Both experiences in one go

With a combined ticket, you can skip the long lines at the Eiffel Tower, enjoy a guided tour or hosted entry, and follow it up with a relaxing Seine River cruise—all with one booking. No need to buy separate tickets or worry about fitting everything into your day.

Guided tour or hosted entry

Depending on your preference, you can choose a guided tour, where an expert will share the history of the Eiffel Tower while you enjoy panoramic views, or go for a hosted entry, which offers priority access to the tower without the hassle of waiting in lines. Both options allow you to explore the Eiffel Tower at your own pace, with the added flexibility of booking a cruise to follow.

Seamless experience

The Eiffel Tower and Seine River cruise departure points are just 5 minutes apart, so you won’t lose time traveling between them. Plus, many options include skip-the-line tickets for both attractions, making your visit smoother and more enjoyable.

Location

The Eiffel Tower is conveniently located near two main Seine River cruise departure points, offering easy access to both:

  • Bateaux Parisiens: Just a 5-minute walk from the Eiffel Tower, Bateaux Parisiens is situated directly in front of the tower at Port de la Bourdonnais. It’s the most convenient option if you're looking to catch a river cruise right after your Eiffel Tower visit.
  • Bateaux Mouches: Located at Pont de l'Alma, Bateaux Mouches is about 1.3 kilometers (0.8 miles) away, which is roughly a 10-15 minute walk along the Seine. It’s a lovely stroll with beautiful views of Paris landmarks along the way.

Here's how to reach these points:

Walking

  • To Bateaux Parisiens: Simply head towards the river along the path from the Eiffel Tower, and you'll be at Port de la Bourdonnais in about 5 minutes.
  • To Bateaux Mouches: A scenic walk along the Seine takes about 10-15 minutes, offering great views of the river and Parisian landmarks.

Public transport options

  • To Bateaux Mouches (Pont de l'Alma):
    Bus: Take Line 42 from Tour Eiffel to Alma-Marceau, which takes around 4 minutes.
    Train: Depart from Champ de Mars Tour Eiffel to Pont de l'Alma, a quick 2-minute journey.
  • To Bateaux Parisiens (Port de la Bourdonnais):
    Public transport options are less convenient for Bateaux Parisiens, so walking is the easiest and quickest way.

Local tips

📍 Hidden spots near the Eiffel Tower

  • Passerelle Debilly: A quiet bridge offering stunning views of the Eiffel Tower, perfect for a peaceful stroll or some great photos.
  • L’île Aux Cygnes: A charming island along the Seine with a replica of the Statue of Liberty. It’s a serene spot with scenic walking paths and fantastic views of the Eiffel Tower.
  • Bois de Boulogne: A large, peaceful park ideal for a picnic or relaxation. Located about 3.4 km from the Eiffel Tower, it’s a great escape from the busy tourist spots.
  • Palais de Tokyo: A contemporary art museum just 1 km away, known for its modern art exhibitions and an outdoor area with beautiful views of the Eiffel Tower.

💺 Best seating on a Seine Cruise

  • Budget-friendly option: Standard seating provides great panoramic views through glass walls, though you may need to stand for the best photo opportunities.
  • For front-row views: Consider upgrading to a window seat, usually available for a small premium, for an unobstructed view of the Seine.
  • 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.

📷 Best time for photography

  • Early morning or Late afternoon (Golden hour): The soft lighting during these times is perfect for capturing the beauty of Paris, especially when the Eiffel Tower glows at sunset or sparkles at night.

👉 Avoiding queues

  • Purchase tickets in advance: To skip the long lines at both the Eiffel Tower and the Seine River cruise, book your tickets online ahead of time.
  • Arrive early: The earlier you arrive, the fewer the crowds. This is especially helpful for popular attractions like the Eiffel Tower.

Frequently asked questions about the Eiffel and Seine experience

Can I visit the Eiffel Tower and Seine River cruise separately, or do I need to book them together?

You can visit both separately, but booking a combo ticket provides a seamless experience, saving you time and offering discounted rates. It also ensures smoother transitions between the two attractions.

How much time should I leave between the Eiffel Tower and the Seine cruise?

Ideally, leave about 30-45 minutes between the two experiences, as they are close to each other, but it's good to allow for walking or potential delays, especially if booked separately. Combo tickets usually have optimized timings to make this transition smooth.

What should I do if I’m visiting during peak season when both experiences might be crowded?

Booking combo tickets in advance during peak season helps you secure your spot at both the Eiffel Tower and the Seine cruise, ensuring priority access and avoiding long lines, which is a common issue for individual ticket holders.

What happens if the Seine cruise is canceled due to bad weather?

If your Seine cruise is canceled due to weather conditions, most providers will offer a rescheduled cruise or a refund. It’s advisable to check the specific cancellation policy when booking the combo ticket for more clarity.

Can I bring my own food or drinks during the Seine cruise if I’ve booked the combo experience?

Some combo packages include food or drinks as part of the Seine cruise, but check the details when booking. If not included, bringing your own food is usually allowed, though some cruises offer onboard dining or beverages for a premium.

Is the Eiffel Tower accessible for people with mobility issues, especially when visiting the combo experience?

Yes, the Eiffel Tower provides full accessibility with lifts and special provisions for people with mobility issues. Make sure to book in advance if you require extra assistance to ensure both the Eiffel Tower and Seine cruise are accessible to you.

We lucked out being the only one on the tour and it was the night of my 40th birthday- it felt so special! Rafael was a fantastic guide- he walked us up through some beautiful photo spots, took lots of pictures of my husband and I, and answered all of our questions not just about the Eiffel Tower but about life in Paris. It wasn't a crowded night but it was still so nice to follow someone who knew exactly where to go and just be able to take it all in. Highly recommend this experience!
