Choose the experience that suits you best and discover Paris on your own terms!
Panoramic Buses and Cruises: A Majestic Overview of the Capital
Panoramic bus tours are ideal for a first glimpse of Paris. Comfortably seated on the open-top deck, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the city’s most iconic landmarks: the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Opéra Garnier, the Louvre, Notre-Dame… These hop-on hop-off buses allow you to get on and off as you please, following your interests and pace. It’s a stress-free and enjoyable way to explore the city.
For a more poetic experience, opt for a cruise on the Seine. Departing near the Eiffel Tower or Notre-Dame, let yourself drift along the water. Admire the city’s most famous sights from a unique and relaxing angle. Whether by day or night, with or without dinner, the cruise is always a favorite for those seeking charm and romance. For the more curious, cruises on Paris's lesser-known canals – the Canal Saint-Martin or Canal de l’Ourcq – offer a more intimate and authentic atmosphere, often undiscovered by tourists.
Walking and Biking Tours: A Full Immersion in the Soul of Paris
If you enjoy taking your time, guided walking tours are an excellent choice. Accompanied by a passionate guide, you’ll explore iconic neighborhoods like the Marais, Montmartre, or the Latin Quarter. These tours reveal fascinating anecdotes, architectural secrets, and stories of the famous figures who helped shape Paris.
To cover more ground while still soaking in the Parisian ambiance, opt for a guided bike tour. Carefully designed routes ensure a safe ride through charming alleys, scenic parks, and along the Seine. Whether on a classic or electric bike, these tours are accessible to all and offer unparalleled freedom.
