Two Cities of Love: Paris & Venice

As they say, Paris is always a good idea! Bonjour and welcome to the most romantic city in the world and the charming capital of France - Paris!

Upon arrival, your driver meets you and takes you to your centrally located hotel for check-in. The rest of the day is free so you can start exploring the magnificent city center on your own, dine in one of the local restaurants or take a good rest in your comfortable room.

After breakfast, meet your private guide in the hotel lobby for a full-day walking tour through two of Paris’s most iconic districts: Champs-Élysées (8th) and Eiffel Tower (7th).

Begin your day at the elegant Place Vendôme and continue to the historic Place de la Concorde. Stroll through the Tuileries Gardens, the oldest park in Paris, before admiring the magnificent Grand Palais with its iconic glass-domed roof, and the elegant Petit Palais, built for the 1900 Universal Exhibition.

Cross the city’s most ornate bridge, Pont Alexandre III, adorned with gilded statues and intricate details, before arriving at Place du Trocadéro, the perfect vantage point for breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower.

The day culminates with a visit to Paris’s ultimate symbol of love — the Eiffel Tower.

Ascend to the top floor, where sweeping panoramic views stretch across the city and a glass of champagne awaits you. Built for the World’s Fair of 1889 and once intended to be temporary, this masterpiece of engineering has become the enduring heart of Paris. Raise a toast above the rooftops and share an unforgettable moment together in the City of Love.

In the evening set off on a romantic Seine River cruise and soak up the beauty of Paris from a different perspective. The lovely boat ride provides the opportunity to admire some of the most iconic sights of the city, such as Grand Palais and Petit Palais, Musée d’Orsay, and, of course, the unparalleled Eiffel Tower. The route allows you to marvel at several picturesque bridges as well, including the Pont d’Iéna, the Pont Neuf, and the remarkable Pont Alexandre III.
