Deluxe Paris Shore Excursion from Le Havre with Seine Cruise

2.Deluxe Paris Shore Excursion from Le Havre with Seine Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 79 reviews · 10 to 11 hours (approx.) · from $85Best value

Travel from Le Havre to Paris by air-conditioned coach, then see the Eiffel Tower, cruise the Seine for an hour, and visit the Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Élysées. A Paris guide such as Amir or Maarten joins you in the city, with pastries, sparkling wine, port pickup, and a guaranteed on-time return.

“Loved this tour!! Amir was our tour guide and he was amazing!!! He is also a filmmaker so using that as a way to describe history and entertain everyone was a brilliant way to remember facts after the tour. We had a great bus driver, Denis, who got us around Paris safely and timely and even got us close to the Eiffel Tower instead of walking :) all around would recommend highly to all”
