Itinerary
The Arc de Triomphe is a Neoclassical take on the ancient Roman triumphal arch style. Fifty meters tall, the view from the platform atop the arch is well worth the hike. See the dozen Parisian avenues radiating out from the arch into the City of Light. Paris is one of the most fascinating places in the world and you will find yourself right at its center.
The One-Hour Seine River Cruise starting from the bottom of the Eiffel Tower offers a delightful journey through the heart of Paris. During this approximately 60-minute cruise, you'll have the chance to enjoy picturesque views of iconic landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame Cathedral, all while relaxing on the serene waters of the Seine. It's a perfect way to soak in the beauty of the city from a unique perspective.

Locating the tickets was a little complicated but otherwise everything was great. I loved that I could do what I wanted at my own pace.
We booked a combo ticket with the Louvre Museum, Seine River Cruise and the Arc De Triomphe. The tunnel to go under the circle was tricky to find, but had a nice treat once inside with a man playing an accordion. It is a long climb (284+ steps) and not for the weary, so bring water and good walking shoes. Once you get there it is a Beautiful view of the city from the top.
I was with our family of 8 and we thoroughly enjoyed the view from the top of the Arch ... beautiful. It was very cold that day but that didn't stop us. In case of mobility issues there is an elevator. The night cruise on the Seine was just as beautiful. I had not ideas there were so many bridges across the Seine. I highly recommend.
I loved the whole experience, I went as soon as it opened on the Saturday and didn't have to queue... went straight in and enjoyed the visit very much! The views are fantastic and you can take great photos! Just bear in mind that you have lots of steps to go up (and down!)
This is a no-frills experience with limited personal engagement or commentary. The audio capabilities on the boat were poor. Most of the handsets did not work. Expect to use your own phone to search and listen to points of interest. In these cases, you’re always wondering if you’re looking at the site that they are referencing in the audio. You are completely on your own at the Arc de Triomphe. This part of the experience is basically an access ticket to climb to the top of the monument which is difficult if you’re not used to climbing spiral staircases that go up over multiple dozen stories. The handicap lift was not working this day which left our limited travel companion down at the bottom.
Visited as family take photo check online the history behind the tower and nothing to do much unless you visited with guided tours who can explain the history . We went early to avoid the crowds.
Very good. Plenty of windy steps to the top but worth it for the view. Get there early for the cruise if you want to sit outside
Both provide entry when it suits you on the day you choose which is great. The arc de triomphe was amazing and entry was seamless. We chose to do the Seine river cruise after dinner and it was packed. The boat was also packed so I would recommend a smaller one if you can get it!
The Seine Cruise requires different tickets than the Arc, even though we bought the experience as block. That was our only hiccup. Otherwise, very nice.
Great value for the money! Arc de Triomphe gave great views of the city. River Seine tour was informative
I learn so much about Paris, France history. a great self guided tour and great gift shop. The river cruise portion was fun. Don’t forget to download the app
Going up the Arc de Triomphe and seeing the city from above and the cruise in the Seine River was beautiful 🤩
Top of Arc de Triomphe is a must visit for the views of the city. River cruise is crowded but gives you a great view of the city.
Great experience. Highly recommend. The stairs were a challenge for some but worth it as the view is awesome.
Everything went smoothly and as planned. The arc itself was interesting and the information you read on the way in and up the various levels was informative. The guide was fine. The seine River Cruise was pretty bare bones, but it was nice to sit and put our feet up so it was actually a good hour of relaxation after walking all day.
Arc de Triomphe was great. Stairs are quite a climb. View is Amazing. The river cruise however was not so great. You really can’t see any sites from inside the boat. They wouldn’t let us sit up top because the river is too high and it was not safe to go under the bridges. From the inside cabin you really are just looking at the walks along the river. Don’t recommend unless you can sit up top.
Both experiences were good. Be prepared for a long climb up the Arc de Triomphe. We went on a very cold night so wrap up warm.
Arc de Triomphe was amazing. Greatly exceeded our expectations. Be prepared to climb nearly 300 steps to the top but it was well worth the view. Get your tickets ahead of time or you’ll be waiting in a VERY long line. Our tickets off the app didn’t work so we had to call and get them sent directly to our phone but they handled it great and very promptly.
Arc de Triomphe , so beautiful place to visit. And cruise was great got to see different parts of Paris :)
Disappointed that the Seine River Cruise audio was malfunctioning. No cues as to what site we were viewing in order to select desired Audio very brief.
Went to Arc the next day as it was closed. We navigated it ourselves and enjoyed the view. The river cruise was also self guided with a headset, kinda generic. Do it on your own versus paying for guides.
Although the Arc de Triomphe visit was very good with perfect weather and low crowds, the Seine River Cruise did not happen. Although we bought the combo ticket, when we arrived at the boat dock at 8:30 p.m., the company was closed for the night. They were supposed to be open till 10 p.m. An adjoining company man said his boats were round trip, but we did not purchase from him, preferring to be on the one way which we had purchased through Viator. We do not recommend using this company for your tickets to tourist events/venues. The guide at the Eiffel Tower showed up late, others on the 6 pm. tour showed up late. There were numerous delays in getting the tickets because the guide kept telling jokes and decided to insert a bathroom break. He then told us the elevators were broken to Level 1 and Level 2 and there was a 2 hour line or we could walk up. Being physically fit, we chose to walk up. The guide continued to joke around and several people left. We urged him to hurry up as we were missing sunset, which was the whole point of going at 6 p.m.
It's value for money, especially the cruise is great. The view from the rooftop of Arc De Triomphe is spectacular.
Absolute horrible service! Both the Arc and Seine tickets I was given - when I took it to Arc & Seine I was told wasn’t the actual ticket, that I had to call back to Viator and get sent the actual ticket, but I printed out AND downloaded everything I was sent. Both scans I was told were not going through so I had to buy another ticket through them at that location.
My husband is a cyclist and watches the Tour de France every year. It was his dream to visit the Arc and this activity made it very easy! The staff were great to help me with taking the elevator while he took the stairs. The views were amazing and the historical information was very interesting. The tomb of the unknown soldier was a poignant reminder of what so many have given in service to their countries. We enjoyed the boat ride on the Seine - it gave us a chance to see things we wouldn't have otherwise had time to enjoy.
Great walk up the Arc de Triomphe with views for miles. Great way to orient yourself for major attractions.
Worth visiting to capture Paris’s 12 biukevards star. Shame I had no time to cruise la Saine but the price for both was defo worth it.
Views were amazing! My mom took elevator almost all the way. She then only had to walk 40 steps and it had a handrail
It took some time to get our vouchers for the Arc De Triomphe but with help from your service we received them. The Seine River cruise was ok but I guess we were really spoiled by the dinner cruise the night before. Long line for the river cruise
This location was super crowded! It was still really beautiful but you had to fight to get to be able to see.
Enjoyed this pairing of the arc de triumph as well as the Seine river boat cruise. Do not try and use the Viator tickets that are in the app. Make sure you get an email with actual tickets in them. We went to the Arc and our Viator tickets did not work. I did email and got back to me in a decent time and sent our tickets to the email address I provided. They did work then
you have to go to the top of the building, make sure your ticket includes the top. be ready to climb a good number of steps.
The view from the platform on the Arc de Triomphe and the beauty we saw along the Seine! The history of Paris is amazing.
The Arc de Triomphe was amazing on the ground. Climbing the stairs was a feat but we finally got there and it was more than worth the effort. Cruise on the river Seine was relaxing and great to see the sights from the water.
We really enjoyed the history and the views. We went after dark and seeing the Eiffel Tower light up at 22:00 was also amazing.
Arc de Triomphe was a self guided tour. Entry into the monument was efficient and quick. Be prepared to climb a lot of steps - winding staircase but worth seeing the most amazing view from the city center. Seine River cruise started by Eiffel Tower and lasts about an hour. You pass under many beautiful bridges, see the activity on the riverside banks, see the Notre Dame Cathedral (Uber construction of course). It concludes at the Eiffel at the time it lights up. Bring a jacket or wrap as it gets chilly. Snacks and beverages are also nice to bring along! Bon Jour!
The river cruise was beautiful but the audio was confusing. we scanned the QR code but did not know when to select the options as no one told us. it was a guessing game. we were told there was audio on board but did not see anyone who got it to work. Therefore we really did not get any information that we were looking for.
The view from the top of the Arc is amazing. If you have bad knees, etc there is an elevator. The Seine tour was a welcome boat ride that was very informative. We went during the day as we wanted to experience the architecture but I’ve heard the evening one with the lights is special, too.
We arrived too late to ascend the arc de triumphe. We were able to go by it later and it is impressive. The river cruise was nice. Just too many people on the boat. Yes, sure number was within regulations but still packed.
Did the arc first and relaxed on the cruise afterwards. Note: 284 steps to the top. Cruise was what you'd expect. Lots of folks on the boat. The young lady commentating was impressive, speaking French, English and Spanish with ease. One hour
Arch has Amazing views , quick lines. I wish there was transportation to the Seine river. We didn't go . With construction and corrupt taxis we chose not to go
Waiting lines were crazy didn’t enter the arc the triomf or the boat at all. At least 2 hours waiting lines, even if you have a ticket? The rest of the bookings was fine.
Breath taking views! Could see all over Paris. Beautiful weather so nothing was obstructed!! Would visit again.
First time going up to the top at the Arc de Triomphe...200 steps up and 200 steps down for 13 euros. A short wait of only 10 minutes to buy our tickets and a short 5 mins wait to ascend to the top. Many people go at a good clip ascending but a quarter way up and 3/4 way up, there is a little alcove that can fit 3 people to take a little break. I took a little break of 3 minutes at about 180 steps. There are also washrooms once you are up and the little gift shop had some nice things made in France. A cute little child's long sleeve shirt is 35 euros but made in France. there was an elevator but only for physically disabled and wheelchairs. imho, if anyone has a heart issue or have bad knees, i would think twice walking up the 200 steps. went on a beautifully sunny day and the view was gorgeous....one can see all the way to La Defense, Sacre Coeur, le Tour de Montparnasse, Les Invalides, and of course Champs Elysees. After our visit, we walked over to the 17th arrondissement and toured the Marche Poncelet area which had great little food shops and non food shops. It was a great area to walk and very clean.
Tour represents: “With these special combo tickets, you’ll enjoy skip-the-line admission tickets to the Arc plus a scenic boat cruise along the Seine” and “Bypass the wait at the entrance with special on-the-spot entry to the panoramic arch” Well, we went to the Arc and there was no “skip the line”, I asked several staff members, and they directed us to the very long line that everyone got on and they estimated the wait to be over one hour. So we got into a taxi and headed for Pier 3 for the cruise. We got to the pier at 4:30. I went to the front of the line and showed my tickets. They directed us to a very very long line and they estimated that we might get on the 6pm boat, 1 1/2 hour line, minimum. Pier 3 was the most crowded pier we saw along the Seine. We left
The climb up the Arc de Triomphe was well worth it. Paris looks amazing from the top. The river cruise showed us so many sites, a gentle and relaxing way to explore along the Seine.
It was great. If you have mobility isuues ask for the elevator. The view is nice. I recommend doing it in the morning
Viator represents: “With these special combo tickets, you’ll enjoy skip-the-line admission tickets to the Arc plus a scenic boat cruise along the Seine” and “Bypass the wait at the entrance with special on-the-spot entry to the panoramic arch” Well, we went to the Arc and there was no “skip the line”, I asked several staff members, and they directed us to the very long line that everyone got on and they estimated the wait to be over one hour. I call Viator customer service, no help. So we got into a taxi and headed for Pier 3 for the cruise. We got to the pier at 4:30. I went to the front of the line and showed my tickets. They directed us to a very very long line and they estimated that we might get on the 6pm boat, 1 1/2 hour line, minimum. Pier 3 was the most crowded pier we saw along the Seine. We had many choices of other piers but this package was a disaster, way too crowded. I emailed Viator, they provided multiple excuses. Their first response “ As for the ticket scanning and entry lines, everyone is subject to and everyone has to wait in these lines and depending on the high season the lines may be long.” But there was only one line for everyone, told me “ If they did not accept your 'tickets' at the attraction, it might be due to the fact that you were trying to use the wrong tickets to enter the attraction.” They asked for our tickets then said “ Upon checking, the tickets seem to be correct and there's no reason for the attraction staff to deny entry for the tickets.” Viator told me tickets were good for one month both but we were headed to London so I asked for a credit and they declined. There are many options for tickets and we found tickets direct through Paris Tourism Office worked best, half the price and no skip the line problems.
Our QR codes did not scan however when we called the customer service they were quick to find a solution. Our experience made it memorable instead miserable. Go to Arc de Triomphe first and then Siene River, book the time close to sunset to enjoy the the Eiffel Tower when lit.
