★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 1,489 reviews · 2h 30m · from $76

Start at Bistro Parisien beside the Eiffel Tower, collect your cruise tickets, then choose dinner or a one-hour Seine cruise first. Expect major sights including Notre Dame, the Louvre, and Musée d’Orsay, plus a three-course meal, one drink, and commentary through a smartphone web app.

“The food was better than expected. I was a little concerned having read the reviews. However, starters, mains and dessert were all lovely! The sightseeing cruise was also great and even better with our fast track ticket which avoided the queues. We jumped on the 9pm cruise which was well timed as the Eiffel Tower started to sparkle at 10pm just as we were about to pull into the dock. A wonderful evening had celebrating my birthday!”
