See Paris from two perspectives: an open-top bus that threads historic boulevards and a calm Seine cruise that presents the city from the water. Ideal for first-time visitors, this 2-hour combo lets you hop off at landmarks like the Louvre, Notre‑Dame, and Eiffel Tower.

Morning light spills across the Seine as a low-slung riverboat slips past stone quays and iron bridges; from the open-top bus the city opens in a roll-call of landmarks — the Louvre’s glass, Notre‑Dame’s façade, the Eiffel Tower’s lattice rising above chestnut trees. The combined hop-on hop-off bus and Seine cruise gives visitors a quick, pragmatic way to sample Paris’s key sights and the river that shaped the city.
