Paris, France

8 to 10 hours (approximately)
Offered in: German and 5 more

This tour allows you to combine two "must-do" when traveling to Paris: visit the iconic Arc de Triomphe on a self-guided tour as well as going around the city on a hop-on hop-off bus. Visitors can marvel at the sheer size and detail of the Arc from ground level, and take the elevator or climb 284 steps to the roof terrace at the top. Take in 360° panoramic views of Paris, and marvel at the circulating muddle of traffic in the roundabout below. Aboard a Big Bus open-top, double-decker bus, admire panoramic views of top Paris attractions including the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, Notre-Dame Cathedral, Moulin Rouge and more, all while listening to audio commentary. Follow two easy routes, and hop on and off at any of the 15 stops around town.
For an extra perspective, add a one hour Seine River cruise and see some of Paris’s most famous riverside monuments and bridges.
