Amazing View from the Top!
We booked a combo ticket with the Louvre Museum, Seine River Cruise and the Arc De Triomphe. The tunnel to go under the circle was tricky to find, but had a nice treat once inside with a man playing an accordion. It is a long climb (284+ steps) and not for the weary, so bring water and good walking shoes. Once you get there it is a Beautiful view of the city from the top.

Two "Must Dos" in Paris.
I was with our family of 8 and we thoroughly enjoyed the view from the top of the Arch ... beautiful. It was very cold that day but that didn't stop us. In case of mobility issues there is an elevator. The night cruise on the Seine was just as beautiful. I had not ideas there were so many bridges across the Seine. I highly recommend.

One of the best views of Paris!
I loved the whole experience, I went as soon as it opened on the Saturday and didn't have to queue... went straight in and enjoyed the visit very much! The views are fantastic and you can take great photos! Just bear in mind that you have lots of steps to go up (and down!)

Delivered as stated.
This is a no-frills experience with limited personal engagement or commentary. The audio capabilities on the boat were poor. Most of the handsets did not work. Expect to use your own phone to search and listen to points of interest. In these cases, you’re always wondering if you’re looking at the site that they are referencing in the audio.
You are completely on your own at the Arc de Triomphe. This part of the experience is basically an access ticket to climb to the top of the monument which is difficult if you’re not used to climbing spiral staircases that go up over multiple dozen stories. The handicap lift was not working this day which left our limited travel companion down at the bottom.

Very good. Plenty of windy steps to the top but worth it for the view. Get there early for the cruise if you want to sit outside

Good option for flexibility
Both provide entry when it suits you on the day you choose which is great. The arc de triomphe was amazing and entry was seamless. We chose to do the Seine river cruise after dinner and it was packed. The boat was also packed so I would recommend a smaller one if you can get it!

The Seine Cruise requires...
The Seine Cruise requires different tickets than the Arc, even though we bought the experience as block. That was our only hiccup. Otherwise, very nice.
