Seine Dinner Cruise, Eiffel Tower Access and Moulin Rouge Show

11.Seine Dinner Cruise, Eiffel Tower Access and Moulin Rouge Show

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 2,310 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $483

Start near Musée d’Orsay at 6:30 pm for a three-course Seine dinner cruise, then visit the Eiffel Tower’s second floor before heading to Montmartre and the Moulin Rouge. You may attend the 9 pm or 11 pm show, depending on the cabaret schedule. Champagne, coach transport, and central Paris drop-off are included, but timing can be tight.

“Highly disorganized. Our Seine dinner cruise was cancelled due to high water levels (which was fine!) but then the tour guides weren’t prepared for the other two experiences and it took so long for them to get organized that we missed the sunset at the Eiffel Tower. We were also just dropped off with little info at the Eiffel Tower. Luckily the bus tour and The Moulin Rouge slightly made up for it but we were pretty disappointed with the rest. Viator usually does a great job but this one failed.”
