18 tours
The good city tours in France fill up months out and the best ones fill first. Below are the 15 to look at, each with its current price and the detail that makes it different.
Hop on Colorbüs in Marseille for 360° views and 11-language phone audio, stopping at Vieux-Port, MUCEM, and Notre-Dame de la Garde.
“Excellent tour! Doing a first round to see where the bus goes, and then a second tour with hopping off and on. You'll never have to wait long for the next bus. Excellent service!”
Skip-line Eiffel Tower to the 2nd floor, optional summit upgrade, then a bus highlights loop and a 1-hour Seine cruise with audio.
“This 'tour' was nothing more than 3 separate activities that were in no way coordinated to be offered within the 4 hour window. We were given the tickets for eiffel tower and river cruise but we told that the bus tour would not be available until 4 hours later, well outside the timeframe we had planned for, so were not able to go. The guides did not offer anything more than the tickets and escort to the tower. This experience does not accurately describe what you get. When I contacted viator to request a refund, they indicated they would look into this. A couple of hours later they responded that…”
Small-group Paris highlights in one day, with prebooked Louvre or Orsay, Montmartre walks, Notre-Dame views, Eiffel Tower area stops, and a Seine cruise.
“Our tour guide Tina was awesome! She was so knowledgeable and helpful and hilarious as well!!! She had great recommendations for lunch as well!!!”
Paris in 3 hours by bike: major sights, Seine views, and an optional electric bike, guided by locals with photo-stop timing.
“Right length of time to see the major highlights in a safe way”
Lyon hop-on hop-off bus visits Fourvière, Vieux Lyon, the Painted Wall, and Confluence with REWIND smartphone audio. 1 or 2 days.
“It was an excellent tour. The guide was knowledgeable, articulate, funny and kind. It was a large group and he moved everything along masterfully. Anyone would be lucky to be on this tour.”
Eiffel Tower skip-the-line access, a 1-hour Seine cruise, and a panoramic audio bus tour in one 3 to 4 hour Paris combo.
“This tour is the best for those who doesn't have enough time to look around Paris!! I could go almost every famous place in Paris by bus with audio explaination. And Seine cruise, Eiffel tower view were just so fascinating!! I strongly recommend this tour to you guys!!”
2h15 tip-based walk through central Paris, from Île de la Cité to Tuileries and Eiffel Tower, with French Revolution and WW2 stories.
“Ezra was a fab guide very knowledgeable and funny.. very approachable very entertaining.. great day was had by all”
A 105-minute amphibious bus tour of Paris, with a real Seine ride. See Eiffel Tower views, then splash into the water.
“Amazing experience Eliott was both fun and informative we learnt lots of cool facts about Paris. Would recommend to anyone visiting Paris for a very fun couple of hours.”
Glide from Promenade des Anglais to Old Nice on a small-group Segway with training, photo stops, and Castle Hill views.
“We had so much fun touring the sites in Nice on the Segway. This was our first time on a Segway and Tessa, our guide was very patient. She did a great job telling us all about the sites. I am so glad we had the segways for the ride up to the top of Castle Hill. We definitely recommend this tour!”
Eiffel Tower 2nd floor views plus a Seine River cruise by night, with an air-conditioned coach city tour and multilingual audio.
“Finishing the tour. Not a tour at all. We’re left to our own devices. Would definitely have been better off just doing the sections yourself. No help, no guides.”
Air-conditioned panoramic double-decker bus tour of Paris with multilingual audio and big-hit sights like the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe.
“Very nice ride that went around the main points of the city. Good and safe driver.”
Guided Paris pub crawl in Châtelet with free shots, happy-hour drink deals, and skip-the-line club entry at Café Oz.
“Was great way to meet new people in Paris and visit some bars :)”
Small-group Lyon walk with Aidan or Ryan, Roman sites and traboules, Fourvière funicular tickets, and local bouchon tips.
“Aidan was very friendly and knowledgeable about Lyon. He also spoke great English. We loved some of the extra things we saw like the Roman amphitheater and secret passageways.”
Cycle Paris’s City Hall to the Seine, Louvre, Latin Quarter, and more on a comfy small-group tour with standout local guides.
“Our guide, Romeo was excellent! His knowledge of history was incredible and he made the tour so informative. The bikes worked well and Paris has a ton of bike lanes which also enhanced the enjoyment of not sharing a lane with automobiles as we’ve had to do in other cities. Would definitely recommend- my only concern was that the starting point to meet the guide was confusing due to a lot of construction in the area. Ask them to send you the Google coordinates rather than going by address or written explanation.”
Skip the fuss with a mobile ticket to Montparnasse Tower for fast elevator access, big Paris panoramas, and sunset-to-night views.
“View is beautiful but that’s it . Food and drinks are minimal. The place could be so much more if they would offer more.”
