On arrival at the Eiffel Tower your host will escort you past the main queue to Level 1 where you will enjoy breath-taking views as you see the city spread out beneath you. Proceeding to 58 Tour Eiffel you will then savour a delicious 3 course champagne lunch in the capital’s most famous monument, after which you will have time to take some memorable photographs.
After lunch it’s time to see a different view of the capital as you take to the river on a one hour sightseeing cruise on the romantic River Seine. Meander through the heart of Paris taking in stunning panoramic views from your all-glass boat with an open air observation deck and a fascinating individual audio commentary.
Then your host will take you by bus to Galeries Lafayette – world famous for its excellent shopping and where you will have some free time to explore.
