Eiffel tower dinner and cruise

My husband and I had planned to book an evening at the Eiffel Tower through a travel agency but now that we%26#39;ve bought airfare and hotels a la carte, that evening package deal is no longer available to us.

It included Eiffel Tower tour, dinner at the Altitude 95 restaurant, and a cruise on the Seine for $109 per head. Is there anything comparable out there? Nothing we%26#39;re coming across includes the dinner.

Here is the Eiffel Tower site. I would start here for reseverations for Altitude 95.

Faxing would probably work faster if you can do that.

If you type in %26quot;River Cruises%26quot; in the search window on this page, I am sure you will get alot of info.

BTW. There really is no %26quot;Tour%26quot; of the Eiffel Tower, at least nothing that we saw. You just get in line, and pay for what level you want to go to. All 3, only 1 or 2+1. There are some posters and things hanging telling the Tower%26#39;s history, but we never saw a group tour, etc.

If you dont want to que in line for A95 and to go up the tower, you could reserve dinner at Jules Verne. This would be very expensive, but you do get to ride in a restaurant only elevator.

Good luck, and I can speak from experience that many of your questions can be answered by doing a search here. It worked for us, and no waiting that way either... )

Book for dinner at one of the restaurants at the Eiffel Tower and then take a late-evening cruise on the Seine with Vedettes de Paris or one of the other boat operators (Bateaux Mouches is the noisiest and most crowded, usually). The cruises that offer dinner are considerably overpriced for the food that you get, and you can have a much more pleasant evening by dining on shore and then drifting along the river, looking at the lights and beautiful buildings that give you a view of old Paris.

We did one of these dinner/cruise package deals last year with some friends. It was easy and convenient. They whisked us to the tower and up to the restaurant and to our table. Dinner was so-so and there was no choice at all. Plus I%26#39;ve never been served such a quick dinner in France. But then I could see why as most of the others were gone super fast, so I guess they pace the service for American diners.

Anyway, for convenience it can%26#39;t be beat. But I won%26#39;t be doing it again that way.
