Historic Paris plus Seinorama Tour

Historic Paris
Drive through the oldest parts of the Capital. Admire the geometric design of Vendome Square and the fantasy of the Old Opera house. See where old French nobility used to live four centuries ago in the Marais District. Explore the Sorbonne in the Latin Quarter and the famous cafes and church at Saint Germain des Pres.

The tour also includes a guided visit to the interior of Notre Dame Cathedral where travellers can learn about the significant role of the monument for the Parisians and the history of Paris since the Middle Ages.

Depending on river conditions, the tour takes you on a short cruise to see the Cité Island where Paris began some two thousand years ago.

There will be designated free time for lunch (not included).

Seinorama
The tour drives towards the 16th district, passing the Champs Elysées and the Arc de Triomphe via the Place de la Concorde. The 16th District is known as one of the most prestigious and residential areas in Paris and home to the celebrated Bois de Boulogne, created by Napoléon III at the end of the 19th century.

The first stop is at the Quai de la Bourdonnais where we board our Bateaux Parisiens boat for a commented cruise along the River Seine.

After the cruise, we stop at the famous Eiffel Tower and catch the lift as far as the 2nd floor. At this point, our guide will point out the principal landmarks. The tour allows travellers to end the tour at the Eiffel Tower or come back with the bus to the bus terminal.
