Best of France Tour

The activity begins with a panoramic bus tour through the center of Paris. We’ll visit iconic places such as the Quai de Branly Museum, the Pont de l’Alma, and the Trocadéro square, which offers a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower.

We’ll continue our panoramic tour of Paris passing by the Arc de Triomphe. We’ll then drive through the Champs Elysées and head to the banks of the Seine. On the banks of this famous river, we’ll pass by the Place de la Concorde and the Tuileries Gardens, from where we’ll admire the exterior architecture of the Louvre Museum.

Next, we’ll continue our tour along the Ile de la Cité, where the famous Notre-Dame Cathedral is located. Lastly, we’ll go to the esplanade of the Invalides and end the panoramic tour at the Champ de Mars, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.

After the bus tour, we’ll board one of the famous Bateaux Parisiens for a one-hour cruise along the Seine River. From the boat, you’ll enjoy a different view of various landmarks such as the Musée d’Orsay, Notre-Dame, the Louvre Museum, or the Eiffel Tower.

The icing on the cake will be the visit to the Eiffel Tower, where we will skip the queues and walk straight in and take an elevator to its second-level observation deck at 150 meters. You’ll admire breath-taking views over Paris. Then, discover this monument at your own leisure.

The excursion ends at the Eiffel Tower.

This was the trip of a lifetime!!! We never could have planned and organized a trip so detailed and just perfect in every way on our own!!! We had such a wonderful time with the group and everything went so smoothly.We loved all of the tours and the driver was prompt and professional. All tickets were purchased in advance and waiting for us upon arrival so all we had to do the entire trip was enjoy ourselves!!! There was not a single moment we had to “think”. Everything was handled for us. Ann Marie was a wonderful tour guide, her English was great and her knowledge of France, Art, History was wonderful. She made us feel like locals by the time our tour was finished! Thank you very much for helping us to live this great experience.

Good itinerary – D-day and Mt. St. Michel were standouts. I also really liked Loire Castles. Amazing…! We saw the most charming little towns. Experienced informative talks about the places we went, and had enough free time to wonder through the shops. Out tour guide Gilbert was superb. Every effort made to make our travel experience excellent .e was a wealth of information and his maps and storytelling really brought history to life. All well organized. Hotels are standards and their meals are OK. Bu we went out to eat in local restaurants. Can’t wait to book my next trip.

Outstanding week in Normandy and Bretagne regions.We have always wanted to visit D-Day beaches and nothing was like our day long trip to Normandy. France is beautiful country. Our 10 year old daughter enjoyed the tour as much as my wife and I did. Phillippe, our guide, could not have been more patient with us and kinder. He took extra time to show us little unknown places that were important. We will certainly travel with Eskapas again and I would highly recommend them to anyone!
