Paris in November: Best-Value Tours Compared (Viator vs GetYourGuide vs Klook)
The booking sites block automated price checks, so we read the prices from search-engine copies of each listing. For most rows only the search engine's summary of the page was available, so treat those prices and ratings as rough, and some copies may be older than our check date. "From" means the lowest date or option, and sale prices come and go. Prices are in the currency the page showed. Always confirm the live price for your dates before you book.
After a weekend of protests with violence and looting, Paris police set an overnight curfew from 11 PM Monday, Oct 19 to 6 AM Tuesday, Oct 20 around Place de la République and part of Les Halles, and the Châtelet, Les Halles, Châtelet–Les Halles and République stations were closed from 10 PM that night. It was announced for that single night. The U.S. State Department's advisory for France is Level 2 ("exercise increased caution") for terrorism and unrest, and the U.S. Embassy advises avoiding demonstrations, checking RATP for Metro closures and allowing extra travel time. While things are unsettled, favor tours with free cancellation and check the news the evening before.
Paris travel forums have been busy with trips planned for the coming weeks and months: first-timers with a day and a half in early November, visitors in mid-November wondering what to pack, a family splitting a short stay between the city and Disneyland, a student with free weekends during a January course, and people taking older parents in late November who want to know how disruptive the protests are. The tours they ask about — the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, a Seine cruise, Versailles, Montmartre, a Le Marais food tour, the Moulin Rouge, Disneyland Paris, Mont-Saint-Michel and the Catacombs — are sold on Viator, GetYourGuide and Klook, sometimes by the same operator at different prices. We matched the most popular versions so you can compare before you book.
The short answer
- Viator had the lowest "from" price in 4 of 10 rows: a reserved-access Eiffel Tower visit by lift (about $57.56), The Tour Guy's Louvre tour (about $52.05), the Disneyland Paris 1-day ticket (about $57.90) and a Catacombs guided tour (about $149.47).
- GetYourGuide was cheapest in 4: the Bateaux Parisiens Seine cruise ($20), a Montmartre walking tour ($23 on sale), Secret Food Tours' Le Marais tour (about $86–87) and, by a few cents, the Moulin Rouge show with champagne (from about $137).
- Klook was cheapest in 2, both day trips: its Versailles guided tour from Paris (about US$72.55, against roughly $102–103 elsewhere) and its Mont-Saint-Michel day tour (US$79.80).
- Same operator, different price: Secret Food Tours' Le Marais tour showed about $86–87 on GetYourGuide and about €128 on Viator, and Memories France sells guided Eiffel Tower summit tours on both: a 10-person small group from $157 on GetYourGuide and a 20-person group from €139.90 on Viator.
Touring Paris in late autumn
- Earlier dark: France turns its clocks back on the night of Oct 24–25, 2026, so evenings get dark sooner. That's good for an after-dark Seine cruise or the Eiffel Tower summit lit up, less good for long day trips.
- Rain and wind: the forecast for Oct 19–25 has rain and gusty wind. Indoor bookings like the Louvre and the Catacombs make good bad-weather plans. One Eiffel Tower tour says it runs rain or shine, and reviewers of the Bateaux Parisiens cruise say the boat can be cold.
- Louvre reservations: from Oct 17 to Nov 1, 2026, the Louvre requires a reservation even for visitors who get in free, so book a guided Louvre tour or timed entry in advance over the school holidays.
- Versailles on Mondays: the palace is closed every Monday, so Versailles tours run on other days.
- Protests: see the note at the top. The Oct 19 curfew and station closures were around Châtelet, Les Halles and République, so check the news before evening plans there.

Notes: prices were read on Oct 19, 2026 in the currency shown; "was" is the struck-through price shown next to a sale price, and "about" means the price came from a search engine's summary of the page rather than the page text. Rows with different operators can differ in group size, time inside, and what's included (entry tickets, transport, guide or audio guide), so read the inclusions before picking the cheapest.
Best-value picks by activity
The Eiffel Tower
Lowest "from" price we saw: Viator's reserved-access visit guided by lift, from about $57.56; summaries describe it as non-refundable. Most reviewed: Mon Petit Paris on GetYourGuide, from $61 (was $102), 4.4 from 16,817, with the summit as an add-on. That one refunds only 50% if you cancel at least 24 hours ahead.
Want the guide all the way to the top? Memories France's summit tour on Viator was from €139.90 (4.5 from 250, free cancellation up to 24 hours) and the same operator's small-group version on GetYourGuide from $157 (4.9 from 63). Klook's Eiffel Tower tickets start from US$62.95, but its own page says they're escorted entry with an audio guide, not guided tours.
The Louvre
Lowest "from" price we saw: The Tour Guy's priority-access Louvre tour on Viator, from about $52.05, 4.6 from 613, about 2.5 hours with groups of up to 18. GetYourGuide's skip-the-line Louvre & Mona Lisa tour was from $76 (4.7 from 1,625) and Klook's 2-hour tour about US$91.59.
Smaller groups: City Wonders' 3-hour Louvre tour for 12 or fewer on GetYourGuide was from $122 and includes the €28 museum ticket, while Viator's 3-hour Louvre masterpieces tour showed from $75.32 with 10,369 reviews; Viator notes its price varies by group size. Under-18s get into the Louvre free, but not on group tours.
A Seine river cruise
The one-hour Bateaux Parisiens cruise from the foot of the Eiffel Tower is the same boat on every site: from $20 on GetYourGuide (4.4 from about 91,300), about $21 on Viator (3.7 from about 1,967) and about US$23.29 on Klook (4.7 from 2.7K). Tickets let you board any departure on your date, with commentary in 14 languages. Reviews mention queues, crowded boats and hard-to-hear audio, so go after dark on a weeknight if you can.
Versailles
Lowest "from" price we saw: Klook's Versailles palace and gardens guided tour from Paris, about US$72.55, 4.3 from about 335, groups of up to 18 and free cancellation with 24 hours' notice. GetYourGuide's coach tour with gardens access was from $103 (was $129) and the best rated at 4.7 from nearly 4,000. Viator's skip-the-line Versailles tour by coach was from about $101.57 (4.0 from 1,527); reviewers call it crowded, with a lot of walking and little garden time.
Montmartre
Lowest "from" price we saw: GetYourGuide's Montmartre & Sacré-Cœur walking tour with a local guide, from $23 on sale (was $29), 4.8 from 1,264. It passes artists' haunts and ends at Sacré-Cœur.
Same tour, two sites: the Hidden Gems & Scenic Highlights walk was from $36 on GetYourGuide and from about $38.14 on Viator (4.8 from 2,413). Sacré-Cœur is seen from outside. Klook's Montmartre walk was from about US$36.49 but had only 5 reviews.
A Le Marais food tour
Secret Food Tours runs the same Le Marais tour on two sites: from about $86–87 on GetYourGuide (4.8 from 474) and about €128 on Viator (4.8 from about 665), with tastings, wine and a "secret" dish. Klook's Le Marais Secret Food Walking Tour showed no price. For an artisan cheese flight and a natural-wine stop, Devour Tours' Le Marais tour on GetYourGuide was from $107 (4.8 from 826). Plan for it to replace a meal.
The Moulin Rouge
It's the venue's own show, so prices are close: GetYourGuide's Féerie ticket with half a bottle of champagne was from about $137 (4.7 from about 18,800) and Klook's Moulin Rouge ticket from US$137.09, which adds a 1.5-hour city bus tour. Viator's champagne-or-dinner listing showed as unavailable when we checked. The GetYourGuide ticket is non-refundable and asks for elegant dress. Reviews of the show often mention cramped shared tables.
Disneyland Paris
One-day, one-park tickets were within a dollar of each other: about $57.90 on Viator, from $58 on GetYourGuide and about US$58.35 on Klook. Two parks came to about $98 on GetYourGuide and US$97.65 on Klook. Viator and GetYourGuide both allow free cancellation up to 3 days before. Ratings varied the most here: 4.8 on Klook, 4.6 on GetYourGuide and 3.5 on Viator.
Mont-Saint-Michel
It's about 14 hours, with roughly four hours each way on the coach. Lowest "from" price we saw: Klook's Mont-Saint-Michel day tour at US$79.80 (4.5 from 1.6K). City Wonders' guided trip on Viator was from about $113, with an English-speaking guide and abbey entry. GetYourGuide's version was from $153 (4.5 from 6,128) and lets you choose guided, audio guide or own pace.
The Catacombs
Guided tours with restricted-area access cost far more than standard entry. Lowest "from" price we saw: Viator's skip-the-line guided Catacombs tour, from about $149.47. GetYourGuide's 1.5-hour special-access tour was from about $156 (4.8 from about 420) but is non-refundable, and Klook's half-day small-group tour was about US$270.15. The Catacombs reopened in April 2026 after restoration work. It's not a good pick if you're claustrophobic or have trouble with stairs.
Which tours fit your kind of trip
First time, a day and a half to a week in November
Pair the Eiffel Tower by lift (from $61 on GetYourGuide) with the Seine cruise from the same riverbank ($20), and book the Louvre tour for a morning. If you have a spare half day, the Montmartre walk ($23 on sale) is the cheapest guided tour in this list.
Taking older parents in late November
Keep tours short and flexible. The one-hour Seine cruise lets you pick any departure on your date. A lift-only Eiffel Tower visit avoids the stairs. Long coach days like Mont-Saint-Michel are hard going, and the Catacombs involve a lot of stairs. With the protests, choose free cancellation and stay away from demonstration areas.
Students and anyone with free weekends
A Mont-Saint-Michel day tour (US$79.80 on Klook) is the big weekend trip. Klook's Versailles tour (about US$72.55) is the cheapest guided Versailles day in our table. Book Versailles for a Saturday or Sunday, since the palace is closed Mondays. EEA residents under 26 can get into the Louvre free with ID, but not on a group tour.
Families splitting time between Paris and Disneyland
For one day at Disneyland Paris, a one-park ticket costs about $58 on all three sites, so pick on cancellation terms and reviews. Klook's page says children must be counted in the headcount on its Eiffel Tower tickets, and under-4s go free there. A Seine cruise is an easy hour with kids.
Couples and anniversary trips
Book a Moulin Rouge show with champagne (from about $137) or a Le Marais food tour (about $86–87) for an evening, and save the guided Eiffel Tower summit tour for the clearest day. Check whether the curfew or station closures are back on before a late night out.
Booking tips
- Prefer free cancellation right now. Several listings aren't fully refundable: one Eiffel Tower tour refunds 50%, and the Moulin Rouge ticket and a Catacombs special-access tour are non-refundable.
- Be on time for timed entries. The Viator Eiffel Tower summit tour warns that tower tickets are tied to the booked slot and missed tours aren't refunded. Lines for security and the lifts still apply.
- Guided tour or escorted ticket? Klook's cheapest Eiffel Tower options include an escort to security and an audio guide, not a live guide. Compare like with like.
- Watch the currency. Pages showed USD, EUR and GBP, and the Viator Le Marais tour price we found was in euros. Set your currency before you compare.
- Match the operator name when you can. Bateaux Parisiens (Seine cruise) and Secret Food Tours (Le Marais tour) sell the same product on more than one site, and the cheapest total for your date wins.
