Day tours to Paris from London by fast Eurostar train service

Choosing a Paris day tour depends on your requirements. On this page we give you three options, from very independent through to fully guided. The choice is yours.

• The Basic Paris 1-day tour is for independently minded visitors and includes day return tickets on the Eurostar train together with the services of a guide for assistance and tips. Paris maps and information on getting the most from your day are provided and a one hour Paris river cruise is included.
• The Standard Paris escorted 1-day tour adds a panoramic coach tour of the highlights of Paris to the train tickets plus a river cruise. You then have substantial free time to visit those Paris icons like the Eiffel Tower you want to spend more time at, or perhaps go shopping or take in Paris people watching from a typical Parisian cafe.
• The Luxury Paris 1-day with 3 course Lunch Cruise on Seine is the ultimate day in Paris including all that the standard tour offers plus a river cruise with a 3 course lunch on board the prestigious Bateaux Parisiens and photo stop at the Eiffel Tower. In the late afternoon you can either have free time or opt for the tour option that includes a guided tour of the Louvre museum.

Paris Special with escort day on-board Eurostar day trip includes:

• Round-trip Eurostar tickets with seat reservations
• One hour River Seine cruise
• Map of Paris including public transport information
• Shopping vouchers for Lafayette Gallery department store -10% off on luxury goods
• Time for shopping and sightseeing

The entry level escorted tour takes care of course of all the ticketing involved. One of the advantages of taking a tour is that the tour operators can offer a fixed price tour company rate. Eurostar trains have very volatile dynamic prices. At short notice and at popular times the price of the whole tour can be half the price of the fares being offered.

This tour also includes a 1-hour river cruise on the River Seine.

Luxury escorted Paris day trip with Bateaux Parisiens lunch cruise includes:

• Seat reservations on the Eurostar
• Fully guided panoramic coach tour of Paris
• 3-course lunch on the Bateaux Parisiens with river cruise
• Photo stop by the Eiffel Tower
• See the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, the Opera House, Champs-Elysees plus much more...
• Tour option to add a guided tour of the Louvre in the afternoon

Upon arrival you will enjoy a panoramic tour of the city taking in all the major sites including Notre Dame, Champs-Elysees, the River Seine and the Arc de Triomphe before arriving for your river cruise.

For your lunchtime experience you will climb aboard Paris's most prestigious boat for an unforgettable sightseeing cruise and find yourself face to face with Paris's splendid monuments. The large picture frame windows offer unrivaled light and an exceptional view over the city of Paris, whilst you savour traditional French cuisine, elegant and refined, freshly prepared on board each day.

After lunch you will head to the Eiffel Tower for photos, followed by the visit to the Louvre (choose from either option below - with or without tickets included in advance). If you do not wish to enter the Louvre you can choose the cheaper tour option and explore Paris independently.

In the early evening you head back to Gare du Nord for your return journey to London.
