All 3 day tours are Friday to Sunday, except Bank Holiday Weekends where the tours are Saturday-Monday. During Christmas and Easter we operate a 4 day tour which includes the option of a day trip to Disneyland Paris.
Take a cruise on the river Seine, see the Eiffel Tower, walk along the Champs Elysées, see the Arc de Triomphe, visit Montmartre and Sacre Coeur, take a photo of the Moulin Rouge (the home of the cancan) see the Cathedral of Notre Dame and explore the Louvre Museum!
We start our 3 day tour from your chosen UK departure point. We travel to Paris by modern executive coach with one of our friendly drivers and our experienced Paris guide. Our journey includes a short sea crossing, from where you can usually see the famous White Cliffs and Dover Castle, as we sail towards France.
On arrival in Paris we drive straight to the Eiffel Tower and begin our tour with a boat cruise on the spectacular river Seine which starts and ends at the Eiffel Tower (where we have time for a photo). We then rejoin the coach for a guided coach panoramic tour of Paris. At the end of the coach tour our driver will take us directly to our 3 star hotel right in the centre of Paris.
On the coach tour we drive past the Arc de Triomphe and down the Champs Elysées to Place de la Concorde. The coach then takes you to see La Madeleine (the church dedicated to Mary Magdalene) before driving by the stunning Opera Garnier and on to the world famous Louvre Museum passing by the pyramids. We then drive along the Seine passing Hotel de Ville before arriving at the hotel. Photo stops will be planned by the guide where possible.
During the evening, you will have the option to join your guide for dinner in a nearby local restaurant. This is a great opportunity to try the local food, whilst getting to know your fellow travellers (food and drink is extra).
After breakfast, meet the guide at 9am for a full day of sightseeing. The first stop is Montmartre for the Sacre Coeur, Place du Tertre and Moulin Rouge. Then on to Ille de la Cite and the world famous Notre Dame Cathedral, with time for lunch and shopping on the banks of the Seine. In the afternoon you can join the optional Half day trip to Versailles or enjoy a free afternoon in Paris. Free time for shopping in Opera in the department stores Galeries Lafayette or Printemps, see the Opera Garnier (entrance charge), visit the food shops Hediard or Fauchon, or maybe enjoy tea and macaroons at La Duree. Or perhaps return to the Eiffel Tower and climb to the top for a stunning view of this beautiful city.
Half day trip to the Palace of Versailles - £29 - A fully guided half day coach tour to the stunning Palace of Versailles. Built in the 17th century during the reign of Louis XIV to project the absolute power of the French monarchy, it served as the political capital and royal court for over 100 hundred years, until in 1789 the revolutionary mobs massacred the Palace Guard and dragged Louis XVI and Marie-Antionette to Paris to cut off their heads! Undoubtedly the grandest and most famous chateau in France. Price includes coach and entry to the Palace (please note entry to the Gardens now costs 8/9 euros extra, pay on arrival). For all customers who choose this option the coach will stop at the Eiffel Tower on the return to Paris from Versailles. You will then have free time to climb the Tower in the evening before returning to the hotel by metro.
Alternatively, you may wish to do your own sightseeing. The All Season Paris Bercy is so central sightseeing on your own is a very simple option, and our guide is there to help you.

James Redmore, New York
I would like to thank International Friends for the fabulous 3 day tour of Paris that I have just completed. The tour was very well organised and the entire trip was very professional. I cannot speak highly enough of the tour guide, Andrew, or the driver, Steve. Andrew has a great knowledge of history and facts and ensured we were well informed at all times. Steve's driving skills are very impressive and I am sure everyone on board felt safe in his capable hands. Well done guys. I will look forward to another tour on my next trip.
