The 15 best city tours you can book today, with what each costs, how long it runs and who it actually suits. Number one is first for a reason.
A one-day hop-on hop-off bus through Marseille with panoramic views, 11-language phone audio, real-time tracking, and plenty of stops.
“It’s a hop-on-hop off tour. If people don’t get off at a stop, then there might not be room. Cheaper than taxis and Uber and you get the bonus of meeting people from all over the world. We had no issues and everyone was friendly.”
Skip the lines for Eiffel Tower summit views, then ride an air-conditioned bus and a one-hour Seine cruise in Paris. Half-day combo.
“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…”
One small-group Paris day hitting Montmartre, Louvre (or Orsay), Notre-Dame area, Eiffel Tower views, and a Seine cruise.
“Cannot say enough about this tour!! Get ready to walk but WOW!! Great way to see places you might not have known about and their history. QUICK entry into the Louvre and overall a great day in Paris with an INCREDIBLE tour guide”
3-hour Paris highlights bike tour on bike lanes and the Seine, with photo stops, a local guide, and optional electric bikes.
“Excellent. Pablo was a great guide and really made the whole trip safe and informative. Would highly recommend!”
Hop-on hop-off bus in Lyon with REWIND audio. See Fourvière, Vieux Lyon, la Fresque des Lyonnais, and Confluence in 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.”
Skip Eiffel Tower lines, ride a panoramic audio bus, cruise the Seine, and enjoy 2nd-floor or summit views on a 3 to 4 hour Paris combo tour.
“Very nice tour. The commentary on the bus about each historic site was a bit light and could have covered more facts, interesting grivia”
A tip-based 2h15 walk through central Paris, from Île de la Cité to Eiffel Tower views, with French Revolution stories and landmark stops.
“On a cold, wet Saturday morning, the prospect of wandering around Paris for a couple of hours didn't seem that appealing, but having booked it, we turned up anyway. Alberto made us feel very welcome, and soon his infectious enthusiasm and in depth knowledge seemed to make the time fly by. It was a great introduction to the major sites of Central Paris, and we hardly noticed the rain. Well worth it.”
Private electric golf cart tour in Paris with English guide, hotel pickup, and flexible photo stops. Ideal for fast, personalized sightseeing.
“Really impressed with our guide and the tour he had planned for us as we had never been in the city before. He was friendly, informative and took pictures of us in front of some landmarks. Great experience in the tuktuk!”
See Paris by road and water on an amphibious bus. Eiffel Tower views, Seine splash, and live bilingual commentary in 105 minutes.
“It was very informative, the guide was wonderful - definitely recommend”
Ride a Segway through Nice’s biggest highlights, learn fast with hands-on training, and get great Old Town and Castle Hill views.
“This tour is the perfect way to get acquainted with Nice, including highlights like Castle Hill, the Old Town, and the flower market. Elena was an outstanding guide—professional, friendly, and informative. After giving us a quick and easy lesson on how to use the Segways, she led us on a fantastic and memorable tour. I would highly recommend both this experience and Elena to anyone visiting Nice!”
Explore Paris’ Cité des sciences et de l’industrie with hands-on exhibits, the Argonaute submarine, a Planetarium show, and Solar Impulse simulators.
“The museum is full of interesting sections with information and interactive exhibits. More information about practical applications in the real world would be useful. The planetarium has a good range of shows but is massively over subscribed and the waiting process is shambolic. Like other museums in Paris, more toilets and food outlets are needed.”
Eiffel Tower views plus a night bus circuit and a 1-hour Seine cruise, with audio in multiple languages and optional summit access.
“The Eiffel Tower Summit portion of this excursion was amazing! If you go to the Eiffel Tower you must go all the way to the top! The city tour was awful. The tour company gives you a map of the bus/tour route but they don’t follow the route.. They also don’t tell you where we are and what building we are passing by so you can listen to recording. There was a lot of the ciy tour we could not see but we didn’t get a partial refund. The Seine river cruise was nice.”
