Paris Night Tours

Bateaux Parisiens Seine River Gourmet Dinner & Sightseeing Cruise

Board a glass-sided boat beside the Eiffel Tower and eat while the night city slides past the window. Two and a half hours cover the monument stretch of the Seine, from Les Invalides and the Musée d'Orsay round the islands to Notre-Dame and back. Dinner, wine, a live singer and a table of your own are inside the price, and you choose your menu when you book. Smart casual is the dress code, and a window table is worth asking for at the time of booking rather than hoping for one on the night.

1. Board at Port de la Bourdonnais
2. Take your seat in the glass-sided dining room
3. Cruise past the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides
4. Gourmet dinner served as you pass the Musée d'Orsay
5. Live singer through the Notre-Dame and Île Saint-Louis loop
6. Return to the Bourdonnais pontoon

From $147 per person

Paris and Montmartre 2CV Tour by Night with Champagne

Open the champagne in the back of a vintage Citroën 2CV while your driver-guide takes the long way round the night city. Two hours run to the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame with stops for photographs, climb Montmartre below Sacré-Cœur and roll back down the Champs-Élysées past the Arc de Triomphe. The fare covers the car, the driver and the champagne for up to three people, so a couple or a trio pays once instead of per seat. From May to August ask for the 9pm or 10pm departure, because sunset is late and the lights need the dark.

1. Pickup anywhere in Paris in a Citroën 2CV
2. Roll down the Champs-Élysées past the Arc de Triomphe
3. Stop beneath the Eiffel Tower for photographs
4. Cross the Seine to the Louvre
5. Climb Montmartre below Sacré-Cœur
6. Champagne stop with your driver-guide
7. Drop-off at your Paris address

Paris: Evening Lights Cruise with Legendary Bateaux-Mouches®

Float past the illuminated landmarks for about seventy minutes with the oldest cruise company on the Seine. The Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, the Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay and the historic bridges all pass from the water, which is the one angle a road tour cannot give you. Sailings leave every thirty minutes from 5pm, so you can pick the night departure rather than an early one that sails while the sky is still bright. A personalised souvenir postcard is included, and the ticket is sold non-refundable but stays valid for six months.

From $19 per person

This one is sold non-refundable — the rest cancel free up to 24 hours ahead.

Paris by Night

Settle into a restored open car with a driver who has been running this night tour for years. Two hours and forty-five minutes stop at the Eiffel Tower, climb to Montmartre and pause at Notre-Dame, passing the Marais, Île Saint-Louis, Saint-Germain, the Palais Garnier, the Louvre and Place Vendôme in between. Water and optional ice cream or crêpe stops travel with you, and pickup is from central Paris addresses. The car takes three and it is sold non-refundable, so book it once your evening is fixed rather than while you are still deciding.

From $194 per person

This one is sold non-refundable — the rest cancel free up to 24 hours ahead.

Paris Moulin Rouge 3-Courses Dinner with Wine and Show

Take a table at the Moulin Rouge at 7pm for dinner and stay in your seat for the Féerie revue. A three-course French menu with half a bottle of wine comes first, then the show, with a drop-off afterwards near the Opéra, the Arc de Triomphe, Montparnasse or Bastille. Smart dress is required, shorts and sportswear are turned away, and the minimum age is six. Transport to the venue and the compulsory cloakroom are not in the price, so allow for both when you plan the evening.

From $352 per person

Paris Big Bus Open Top Panoramic Night Tour

Climb to the open top deck of a night bus and let two hours of commentary do the work. The loop passes the Eiffel Tower, the Musée d'Orsay, Notre-Dame, the Louvre, the Palais Garnier, the Champs-Élysées and the Moulin Rouge, every one of them lit. Commentary runs in several languages through earbuds you are given, and there is Wi-Fi on board. Departure is 9.30pm from late March to late September and 8.30pm from the end of September, so the start time follows the sunset rather than the clock.

From $33 per person

Seine River Evening Cruise with Music (Drink Options)

Slip out from the foot of the Eiffel Tower on a fully electric boat for an hour on the river. No guide travels with you; a music playlist plays instead, and a free app gives commentary in ten languages if you download it before you sail. Boarding is marked by three large red, white and blue flags on the quay, and arriving twenty minutes early is the difference between a seat and standing. Take a night sailing after 9pm in summer and the tower will be lit by the time you are on the water.

From $29 per person

A Magical Evening in Paris With Locals: PRIVATE City Walking Tour

Meet a local host at the clock statue outside Saint-Lazare and walk into the evening with somebody who lives here. Two and a half hours run down towards the Champs-Élysées and the Eiffel Tower, and your host will change the route on the spot if something else catches your eye. It is private, so the pace, the questions and the stops belong to your party rather than to a group. Food, drinks and hotel pickup are left out, which is what keeps a private guide at this price.

From $105 per person

Private tour Louvre By night

Walk into the Louvre after the day crowds have gone, with a private guide and a timed entry ticket already in your name. Three hours cover whichever departments you ask for, from the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo to the Egyptian rooms and the Grande Galerie. Because it runs on one of the museum's late-opening evenings, the rooms are quieter than any daytime slot and the pyramid is lit when you come back out. Two adults is the minimum booking and the group stops at six, so it suits couples and small families rather than a large party.

From $342 per person

Paris by Night 2 Hour Private Golf Cart Tour

Glide between the monuments in an open electric golf cart that parks where a coach never could. Two hours cover Place de la Concorde, the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, Trocadéro, the Louvre and Place Vendôme, stopping wherever the photograph is. Bottled water, on-board Wi-Fi and every fee sit inside the fare, and pickup is offered from seven central arrondissements. The cart takes up to twelve and runs private to your party, so it holds a family group together instead of splitting you across two vehicles.

From $177 per person

Private Paris Night Lights and Landmarks Tour

Have a driver collect you at your hotel door and give you three hours of the lit city. The route allows twenty to thirty minutes each at the Eiffel Tower, the Champs-Élysées, the Arc de Triomphe, the Palais Garnier, the Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay, Notre-Dame and the Moulin Rouge. Pickup and drop-off, fuel, tolls, Wi-Fi and water are all in the fare, and your driver works as an informal guide between the stops. Every stop is an exterior visit, so take it as a lights tour rather than a way inside the monuments.

From $194 per person

3h - Paris Grand Tour by Night in a Pink Citroën 2CV

Roll through Paris after dark in an open-top pink Citroën 2CV with a licensed guide at the wheel. Three hours take in Montmartre and Sacré-Cœur, the Moulin Rouge, the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides and Notre-Dame, with the Latin Quarter on the way back. The car is half the point, because it is slow, loud and photographed by almost everyone you pass. Pickup is from anywhere in Paris or from the Arc de Triomphe, and monument entry is not part of the fare.

From $218 per person

Paris By Night: 3-Hour Guided Bike Tour

Cycle for three hours on a night bike tour, with the bicycle itself part of what you pay. The ride crosses the river to Notre-Dame and works through the central quarters at a pace quick enough to cover real distance and slow enough to stop for photographs. Bikes and the guide are included and the group stops at fifteen, with child seats bookable in advance for a small extra fee. The meeting point sits on level minus one of an underground car park near the Opéra, so allow yourself a few extra minutes to find it.

From $53 per person

Private tour Paris Christmas lights tour 2 hours in Citroën 2CV

Ride out under the Christmas illuminations, when Paris strings its avenues and squares with lights from late November. Two hours in a convertible 2CV take in Place Vendôme, Avenue Montaigne, Boulevard Haussmann and the Champs-Élysées, with a stop beneath the Eiffel Tower. Blankets, a private driver-guide and the car are covered, and the fare is charged per car for one to three passengers rather than per seat. Book a single place and you may bring somebody with you on the day at no extra cost, which is unusual enough to be worth knowing.

From $270 per group of up to 3

Paris By Night - Vision Tour - Private Tour

Travel by private electric SUV with a driver-guide for three hours across the lit city. The Champs-Élysées, the Arc de Triomphe and the river quarters are covered at whatever pace you set, and the vehicle collects you from any address in Paris. Bottled water, premium service and a trip assistant are in the fare, which is charged per car for up to four rather than per seat. Dinner is not included, so plan to eat before or after rather than trying to fit it in.

From $447 per group of up to 4

Paris Evening Walking Tour through the City of Lights

Start outside a bakery in the Marais and walk west through the lit centre for two hours. The route takes in the Hôtel de Ville, Pont Neuf, the Louvre, the Palais-Royal, the Opéra quarter and Place Vendôme, with time to photograph each of them. Groups stop at eight or you can book it private, and a local guide points you at what to come back to in daylight. Evenings here turn cold quickly once the sun is down, so bring one more layer than you think you need.

From $64 per person

Private Paris Night Tour - with Magic City Lights and Local Vibes

Pick your own start time and let a local guide build the walk around what you want to see. Three hours move through Place Vendôme, Place de la Concorde, the Champs-Élysées, the Arc de Triomphe, Trocadéro, the Eiffel Tower and Saint-Germain, using the métro where the distance is too far on foot. The itinerary is yours to change and the guide meets you in your hotel lobby, so nothing has to be found in the dark. It asks for a moderate level of fitness, and food, drinks and gratuities are not included.

From $155 per person
