Optional Tour: Magnificent Paris and Seine River Boat Tour Per Person 120 Euros
We begin our Magnificent Paris tour with the Eiffel Tower, the symbol of Paris and even France. This steel-and-iron structure, built by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Paris Exposition Universelle, attracted great interest from tourists during and after the 1889 World’s Fair, so its demolition was abandoned and it has survived to the present day. The tower consists of three sections (levels), each accessible by elevator. We will ascend to the second level, enjoy the unique view of Paris and take beautiful photographs. Following our Eiffel Tower tour, we organize a boat tour on the Seine River. The 776-kilometer-long Seine, one of the best-known rivers in the world, divides the city in two. During our river cruise, we will see many of Paris’s famous buildings and numerous bridges over the river from a unique perspective.
