Simply Paris Day Trip, including Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame and Louvre Museum

Experience one of the world’s most beautiful cities during an escorted day trip to Paris, including visits to the iconic Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum and a cruise down the Seine.

Travel to Paris

Head to St Pancras International Railway Station to get an early train to London's closest European capital neighbour. After two hours, step off the train at Paris’ Gare du Nord and start exploring one of the world’s most romantic cities.

Discover the French capital

Start off your day in Paris with a panoramic bus tour of the French capital’s most famous landmarks. Spot gems from the comfort of your seat, including the Champs-Élysées, the Arc de Triomphe and the Trocadéro.

Next, prepare to climb up the iconic Eiffel Tower and marvel at the city’s stunning skyline from the lofty second floor.

Visit the famous cathedral Notre Dame on a guided tour. Learn about the fascinating history of this medieval architectural masterpiece with its impressive stained glass windows. Hear more about the famous Gothic gargoyles, as your guide shares some of the stories from the past and the cathedral's modern restoration efforts.

It’s now time for some art! Discover incredible artworks at the Louvre Museum, as you skip the queue with your guide to head straight to its most treasured painting, Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.

If you’re visiting on a Tuesday, please note that the Louvre is closed, instead you will enjoy a well-deserved break as you take to the water for an hour-long luxury cruise down the Seine. See some of the city’s best monuments from the water, including the beautiful Gothic structure of Notre Dame cathedral which sits on an island in the middle of the river.

Return trip to London

After a thrilling day exploring as much of Paris as you can, your guide will take you back to Gare du Nord for your short journey back to London in time for a late dinner in the city.
