Eiffel Tower summit views, a Seine cruise, and a Paris bus tour in four hours, with useful advice on timing, value, and common pitfalls.

“This tour was not what we expected of Viator. The Eiffel Tower guide was nice but not very knowledgeable on the history of the tower. She then said she would wait for our group while we went to the third floor of the tower but she disappeared and left us on the 2nd floor. The bus tour was worse. Broken bus door, homeless sleeping on the bus downstairs, dirty seats, dirty windows up the top that impeded taking photos. App was not reliable. Guide was inaudible announcing the locations. The traffic was terrible so there was not enough time to do the boat ride in one day as expected. We…”

Review of ParisCityVision’s Eiffel Tower, Seine cruise, and panoramic city tour, with practical advice on queues, timing, value, and what to expect.

“Stating my day was easy as I took a Taxi to the meeting point. we had no traffic jam. Collected my tickets from service provider, and boarded the bus with my wife. Our guide tour was excellent in almost every major European language. English was our choice. The history in Paris caught my attention with good commentary.

See Paris by coach, Seine cruise, and Eiffel Tower observation deck, with a summit upgrade and evening views of the city’s great monuments.

“I don't normally write these, but yeah the guide was uninterested and didn't give any information at all to the group. Unorganized and the river cruise and bus tour are not even part of a tour. They simply give you tickets for these two with zero interaction nor interesing information. I didn't even finish the tour since it left such a bad taste in my mouth. I requested a refund for the terrible experience, and the refund was denied. It looks like customer service is not a priority for this company. Or at the very least, this specific tour and staff.”
