This tour is not suitable for passengers with mobility scooters or traveling with wheelchairs. Only light, foldable wheelchairs can be accommodated. Private tours with wheelchair-adapted vehicles can be arranged.
This is a guided sightseeing tour that does not allow for a sit-down meal or shopping. For a tour including more free time, we recommend choosing our second shared shore excursion, the "shop & dine tour," which includes only a brief panoramic bus tour of the city. As we have limited time in port, it is not possible to combine all three activities. For a personalized experience, please choose a private shore excursion. We can customize it to your preferences, including inside visits.

If you are late and do not contact us, the bus will be unable to wait for you. In such cases, we will not be able to provide a refund.
Cruise with confidence: in case your ship cannot dock, we will provide a full refund!
Normally, this tour lasts 11 hours. On the following days, the tour lasts 10 hours: 5.05.23, 8:30 (Celebrity Apex); 11.05.23, 8:30 (Anthem of the Seas); 26.05.23, 7:30 (Zuiderdam); 13.07.23, 7:30 (Norwegian Dawn); 7.08.23, 8:30 (Norwegian Getaway); 14.09.23, 8:30 (Norwegian Getaway); 23.09.23, 7:30 (Oceania Riviera); 9.10.23, 8:30 (Rotterdam)
The route of the tour and time spent in Paris is subject to the ship’s docking times, traffic, special events, and any other circumstances out of our control. Please note we will not be able to provide a refund if the touring time must be shortened because of any of the above
Visiting the Eiffel Tower: Our standard itineraries do not include an opportunity to visit the Eiffel Tower's interior. During the high season, it is recommended to allocate at least 1.5 to 2 hours for the entire Eiffel Tower experience, even with a skip-the-line ticket. This is due to the time required for security checks, ascent, and descent. Our two tour options allocate 15-30 minutes at the Eiffel Tower. If you wish, you may visit the Eiffel Tower independently and rejoin the tour by taxi later. However, please note that you'll need to locate the tour group on your own, as shared tours follow a predetermined route and cannot be delayed for individuals. We also offer a "Shop & Dine" shore excursion, which includes a brief panoramic tour of Paris and several hours of free time, which you could use to visit the tower. For a more personalized experience, we offer customizable guided private or semi-private tours with licensed Parisian guides who can create your perfect itinerary, including inside visits.
This tour/activity will have a maximum of 45 travelers

Magical Paris: A wonderful tour to take to become acquainted with Paris

Sarmite_B, Sep 2023

The tour provided a very informative albeit quick tour of Paris. Our guide, Maarten, was excellent. He greeted us with croissants at the beginning of the narrated tour in Paris and served us Cremant at the end of the Paris tour. He was well versed on the history of Paris and its landmarks and he was thoroughly enjoyable to listen to. Although I had been to Paris on numerous previous occasion, I thoroughly enjoyed being reacquainted with Paris again and being reminded of what a beautiful and historic city it truly is. It may be time to revisit Paris again for a longer period of time I would highly recommend this tour.

The bus driver was prompt...

Magical Paris?

Many places are only pass by in a long distances, not much actually see for the few hours time. Different tours are grouped together, it seems not much differences for paying more or paying less.

Magical Paris

Our driver sang a song in French when we arrived in Paris and first saw the Eiffel Tower. It made it so magical! He drove so expertly all through the crowded and busy streets. The tour guide was so very interesting and engaging, along with croissants for everyone! It was a perfect excursion for us!!

Great tour with limited time

Tour company was very visible directly outside of ship. Minor issues with radio but was remedied. Tour coordinator kept us well advised of all aspects of tour. A perfect day tour with limited time to get a taste of Paris.

Wonderful trip!!
