Day 2 : Paris

Today, discover Paris at your own pace with the Hop On Hop Off sightseeing bus pass.

Enjoy the convenience of hop-on hop-off access at any stop along the route, and soak in the views from an open-top, double-decker bus. See sights like the Louvre Museum, Moulin Rouge cabaret club, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and the iconic Eiffel Tower as you listen to informative, English-speaking guides on some routes.

Take your Parisian experience to the next level by hopping on to a cruise along the Seine River that will offer you a different perspective of this famous city.

Later, proceed for a guided climb of the Eiffel Tower with summit access.

Most visitors ride the elevator to the top of the Eiffel Tower, but travelers with a sense of adventure can save time by taking the stairs. Climb the 704 steps to the second floor of the Eiffel Tower on this guided tour and be rewarded with spectacular views of the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, the Seine River, and the Champs-Élysées. Take a lift to the summit and see Gustave Eiffel’s office, restored to its original condition along with panoramic maps. Go to the Champagne Bar and treat yourself to some bubbles in the sky. When you are ready, simply take the elevator back down to the first floor or to street level and continue with your day!
