Not every day you get to see a tour that is a 3 in 1 awesome. This tour was created after years of extensive research on giving Eiffel Tower experience and guests having to wait in line at the tower for up to 2 hours before getting their Eiffel Tower ticket.

Everything about the Eiffel Tower will be explained on this tour. The facts, myths and legends of the Iron Lady and the best spot to take pictures. Then guests get on the boat cruise witnessing the beauty of Paris from the breathtaking views from the Seine River and then finish this tour with the Notre Dame and île de la cité historical tour.
