Additional Information

Start your journey with a climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower by lift, savouring sweeping vistas that lay the grandeur of Paris bare. Our learned guide imparts tales of the city’s historical and architectural marvels, offering fascinating glimpses into its illustrious past.

Following this, you’ll join us on a leisurely narrated bus journey towards the distinguished Notre Dame Cathedral. (Remember, your bus ticket is valid for the entire day, permitting you to continue sightseeing post-tour!)

Pause for a meal (not included) at any quaint bakery or restaurant near Notre Dame, before embarking on your external tour of the cathedral. Step into the hidden Archeological Crypt beneath Notre Dame, where age-old ruins and archaeological masterpieces lay in wait.

Subsequently, we escort you through the quaint Latin Quarter, where charming old streets and picturesque landmarks usher you into a different world marked by a bohemian artistic and intellectual mood.

Great tour, even better tour guide - We had such a wonderful tour with our tour guide Katie. Would highly recommend. She was attentive, accommodating, personable, and clearly passionate about the history & culture of Paris. We learned so much more just about The Eiffel Tower & Notre Dame Cathedral. Honestly the best full day tour we ever had. Ask for Katie, you won’t be disappointed.

Your Tour Guides Shine and Rock! - I chanced upon this company when I was looking for guided tour in Paris as I do not want to deal with Paris Pass. I selected the Ultimate Louvre Tour lead by Audrey and 1 Day Paris Fully Guided Tour led by Sania. Both ladies are Wonderful! Full of knowledge about Paris and professional. I recommended choosing ExperienceFirst for tours that you want a little background history of Paris and not someone just take you to the sightseeings and limited commentary provided. I will definitely choose ExperienceFirst if I am back to Paris and highly recommend both Audrey and Sania.

Great views - The climb was easier than anticipated, and the views were incredible even from the 2nd floor. Masha was a great tour guide, seamlessly bringing us through the ticket process and sharing lots of interesting info along the way.

Shivani was great - Shivani was a great tour and great knowledge of the Eiffel Tower. She brought an iPad and was able to tell us many stories and show pictures of all the process. Her English was perfect and she was easy to understand and get along with.

Not Recommend - Thank you for this trip. We were very disapointed, thats why we paid nearly 3th time the original price and had to wait for more than 3.5 hours. We had to wait in the hot sun. A lot others from the group went home. The guide had'nt even the Tickets. So I will communicate to other guests, go to the tower for yourself. You have to wait also 3,5 hours, but, you pay just 28 EURO. And more you have a Kids discount. We paid for the kid also the full price. Not recommended. sorry!
