Independent Day Trip: On arrival at Paris’ Gare du Nord, spend the day in the French capital any way you want. With no itinerary tying you down, enjoy a relaxed hop-on-hop-off bus tour to see top Paris sights including the Arc de Triomphe and Place de la Concorde. Visit attractions such as the Eiffel Tower and Louvre as you wish. Alternatively, simply relax at the sidewalk cafes, dip into the stylish restaurants, or shop for goodies at the chic stores.

Guided Day Trip: On arrival at the Gare du Nord, meet your friendly guide and take a city tour of Paris’ signature sights. View must-sees such as the Place de la Concorde and Champs-Elysées.

Soak up the awe-inspiring city views, and listen as your guide talks about the monument’s history and construction. Then, go on a scenic cruise along the Seine River. Behold the riverside sights, including Notre-Dame Cathedral, before stepping ashore to see this breathtaking building independently.

Please note: Wait lines at the Eiffel Tower can be very long. If this is the case when you visit, your guide may suggest a substitute visit to the Louvre or Musee D'Orsay.

Paris is Burning
David
, Feb 2020
Nigel lead our all American group to Paris in February. He was remarkable well spoken and informed. Handed us our tickets and got us through the queue to get through passport control and onto the train. The train ride was quite fun and exciting for my 10 year old. Once in Paris we had a wonderful time seeing all of the sites (which are quite close together). Nigel was a perfect mixture of leading and helpful while he also gave us time to disappear and wander off on our own. I was really excited about this trip and it was worth the time. It will be a long day but you will see so much!

It was raining day through out of the day ☹️ and during the day our tour bus broke down so we had to travel by under ground train to get to different places. Our tour guide was excellent 👌. So overall it was a good experience 😊

Wonderful Day!

We had a wonderful day trip to Paris. It's important that you understand that you are only paying for your transportation with the basic package: train tickets and hop-on-hop-off bus. There is not a guided tour. (My suggestion would be to purchase the basic package one anyway as it doesn't sound like the other options are worth the money.) I will also say, that the instructions say that the the tour "Departs" at 6 am. This is not the case because the train left at 7 am. You will meet the representative from the travel company at 6 am to check in. You really do not need to be there until 6 am, so don't kill yourself to get there like we did an hour early. This is a truly fantastic way to visit Paris and see what you can fit into one day. It was absolutely worth it in my opinion!

This was a miserable birthday for me. It is very dirty. People there were very rude and disrespectful. This is one place I will never visit again. I would not recommend it to anyone.

If you are looking for a quick basic tour (which suited us perfectly) the guided bus tour is a great option. You will see the main point of attractions and have a some free time for your own activities and to wander about. There isn’t a great deal of walking. Great for just seeing some of the sights by bus. Carol our tour guide was fantastic!

This turned out to be a real good deal. Myself and two colleagues were trying to plan a day trip to Paris , but, the expense of the EuroStar tickets was prohibitive. Then we looked into the guided tour through Viator and the price of the tour and all it included was cheaper than the EuroStar tickets we could get on our own. The guided tour did not have enough sign ups, but, we did the hop on hop off bus and the river cruise and it was a very nice day

Simon was an EXCELLENT tour guide! The Magic of London guided tour is a good balance of sightseeing and independent time. This was a perfect way for us to see everything we wanted without having to worry about navigating on our own. You do not get to go inside any of the sights (Louvre for example) but we were totally fine with that. This is a great snapshot of Paris and Simon was full of interesting information!

Excellent day trip to Paris. Our guide (Alexandria) was excellent. She was well versed in the culture, and background of Paris. There were certain parts of the tour that weren't ideal for mobility limited tourist, but she was able to work with us to give us the best of what Paris had to offer. The river cruise was awesome for photo taking opportunities.
