Program Description
Discover Paris from two unique perspectives – from the comfort of an open-top bus and on a scenic cruise along the Seine. This thoughtfully combined sightseeing experience allows you to explore the city in a fuller and more varied way. The freedom of Hop-On Hop-Off sightseeing combined with a scenic cruise along the Seine creates memorable experience.
Step aboard a double-decker open-top bus and set off on a route through the French capital’s most recognisable landmarks. With numerous stops along the way, you can hop off and back on whenever you wish. You decide which attractions to explore in greater depth and how much time to spend at each one.
Along the route, you will see the monumental Eiffel Tower, an icon of France and one of the world’s most famous landmarks. You will pass the impressive Arc de Triomphe, standing proudly on Place Charles de Gaulle, as well as the renowned Louvre – once a royal residence and now one of the most important museums in the world. From the top deck, take in elegant boulevards, charming side streets and architecture that has captivated visitors for centuries.
During the journey, you can enjoy multilingual audio commentary, offering insight into the city’s history, fascinating stories about its landmarks and intriguing facts about Paris.
To complete your experience, embark on a cruise along the Seine – a relaxing journey that reveals the city from an entirely different angle. From the water, you will admire historic bridges, picturesque riverbanks and some of Paris’s most beautiful buildings. It is the perfect opportunity to capture memorable photos and slow the pace for a while.
This experience is ideal both for a first visit to Paris and for those who wish to combine the city’s must-see attractions with a leisurely river cruise. Panoramic views, a flexible format and a distinctive atmosphere ensure that discovering Paris becomes a genuine pleasure.
