Paris: Eiffel Tower 2nd Floor Tour & Seine River Cruise

Your expert Paris Unscripted guide will meet you at Pont d'Iéna, in front of the Statue of the Roman Cavalier on the south side of the bridge closest to the tower. With reserved access tickets already arranged, your group of no more than 10 will enter without the uncertainty of waiting in long queues to buy tickets on the spot. Your guide will lead you up to the 2nd floor by elevator, sharing the remarkable story of Gustave Eiffel's masterpiece along the way - from its controversial construction in 1887 to its transformation into the world's most visited monument. You'll discover hidden details, surprising facts, and perspectives that most visitors completely miss. At the 2nd floor, take in the sweeping 360° panoramic views over Paris - the Seine winding through the city, Sacré-Coeur crowning Montmartre in the distance, and the grand boulevards radiating outward in every direction. When the guided portion ends, the time is yours to explore at your own pace. When you're ready, make your way independently to the Seine River cruise dock - just a 3-4 minute walk from the tower. Boats depart every 30 minutes until 10pm, so simply turn up and board the next available departure. A multilingual audio commentary is included on board as you glide past Notre-Dame, the Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay and more along the UNESCO-listed banks of the Seine.
