Guided tour of the Louvre, Notre Dame area and lunch at the Eiffel Tower
Spend a day exploring Paris in a very unusual way. This excursion on foot and river boat will show you the highlights of Paris: visit the Louvre Museum, lunch at the Eiffel Tower and see the Notre-Dame Cathedral from the outside.
The tour starts from our office in the center of Paris, where you will meet your guide who will take you straight to the famous Louvre Museum. You'll discover the main artworks: the Venus of Milo, The Wedding at Cana, the Coronation of Napoleon and Leonardo da Vinci’s famous Mona Lisa.
After the 2-hour tour of the Louvre Museum, you'll board a Batobus boat to reach the Eiffel Tower where lunch awaits you. This short cruise will cross the superb bridges over the Seine and pass by Paris' monuments that stand along the banks. Your guide will let you disembark to go to the "58 tour Eiffel" restaurant.

The tour ends close to Notre-Dame Cathedral, so that you can explore the Île de la Cité at your own pace or keep admiring the Cathedral from the outside.
IMPORTANT: from September 1st to March 31st 2020, the restaurant "58 Tour Eiffel" will be closed for renovation works. We offer you the same tour with a lunch-cruise at the Bateaux Parisiens instead. The tour will last around 1 hour more.
