WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Cruise Terminal Le Havre
Join us for a captivating day trip to Paris, starting from the Le Havre cruise ship port. Our warm and welcoming team members will meet you right outside the cruise terminal, ready to help you board a cozy, air-conditioned bus. The drive to Paris is about 3 hours, so sit back and relax as we drive through the picturesque Norman countryside. Our trip is designed to perfectly align with your ship's docking schedule, returning with plenty of time before your ship departs. Upon your arrival in the city, you will walk around the Eiffel Tower, do a 1-hour river cruise, see the Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Elysees, and then have some free time for shopping.
2. Eiffel Tower
Our first stop in Paris: the world-famous Eiffel Tower! This remarkable structure once stood as the tallest man-made edifice on the planet and still mesmerizes visitors with its awe-inspiring elegance and romantic ambiance. Positioned in the heart of the city, the Eiffel Tower is much more than a mere tourist hotspot. Don't forget to take the perfect snapshot to memorialize your visit to this extraordinary landmark. Please note we do not visit the Tower inside, as such a visit can take up to 2-3 hours due to security measures.
3. Louvre Museum
Next, embark on a captivating 1-hour river cruise that begins at the iconic Eiffel Tower. Glide through the heart of Paris and marvel at the city’s architectural masterpieces from a unique vantage point on the water. Witness the grandeur of the Louvre, home to thousands of works of art, including the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo.
4. Musee d'Orsay
As you continue, catch sight of the Musée d'Orsay, renowned for housing the world’s largest collection of impressionist and post-impressionist masterpieces.
5. Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris
Further along, you'll approach the majestic Notre Dame Cathedral, its Gothic façade reflecting beautifully on the surface of the river. Enjoy this tranquil, comfortable, and convenient alternative to navigating the typically crowded city streets—especially during the Olympics, when Paris will be exceptionally bustling.
6. Place de la Concorde
As your cruise weaves through the city, you’ll also have a view of the historic Place de la Concorde, famous for its stunning obelisk and pivotal role in French history. This leisurely journey provides a picturesque route past some of Paris’s most famous sites, allowing you to explore and appreciate the city’s rich cultural tapestry from the serene comfort of your riverboat.
7. Arc de Triomphe
After the river cruise, our bus will take you to the Arc de Triomphe where our knowledgable guide will tell you the history of this magnificent sight. Commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte to commemorate his military victories and honor the French army. Standing at a height of 50 meters, the monument boasts intricate sculptures and reliefs that depict significant historical events.
8. Champs-Elysees
As you travel down this world-famous avenue, you'll see theaters, cafes, and high-end stores, all contributing to the lively atmosphere of Paris. For centuries, the Champs-Élysées has represented the best of French sophistication and flair, drawing countless visitors each year. You will have some free time here for self-exploration, shopping and dining.

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.

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.
