Our boat trip down the Seine river was so lovely. The views were amazing and seeing the Eiffel Tower at night is spectacular. Our tour guide was so good. We highly recommended using this company.

Our family loved this daytime boat tour and seeing the beautiful sites from the waters edge view. This is a great way to see Paris. Highly recommend!

Beautiful views!

Enjoyable trip on the river of Seine

Siri_R, Jun 2023

Private boat-tour on the river of Seine was an extraordinary experience. Artur was very hospitable and we enjoyed our trip on the river very much. He is also a great photographer although that is not his selling point. Make sure to be there on time. Paris-traffic is very busy.

Nice trip

Heather_M, Jun 2023

This small group tour was beautiful! Arthur took many wonderful photos of everyone (free of charge). Only reason we did not give 5 stars is b/c we were a little “turned off” by his political & religious opinions that he shared without prompting (NOT that we disagreed but felt it was not the appropriate time & place). He clearly is not a fan of the US.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Hello. I see you gave me a negative just because I don't like racists, homophobes and inequality for women. That's nice.... You paid the cheapest price for the cheapest cruise that exists on the Seine (You didn't buy a private cruise, just two tickets for a shared cruise.). In this one you officially had a bottle of water and a transport. I didn't even need to talk to you. Then you got beautiful pictures worth more than €200 as a gift, a story about Paris also worth €200 as a gift. All for free. Plus my bottle of water was definitely great and a lot of humor and you gave me a negative for that. You are really honorable 🙂 I give you 10/10 for being human.... Maybe read the opinions of others and you'll find out that I'm a very big fan of the US and the only thing I'm not a fan of in the US is the patriarchy which, however, still exists here and there (not only in the US, in Europe too). I am for equality, which unfortunately sometimes does not exist everywhere. It makes me sad to see women who objectify themselves. I have two daughters, young and beautiful girls, and I hope they see the world differently than you do. Regards

A must do!

karen_H, Jun 2023

In my opinion the only cruise to take down the seine !! Absolutely incredible experience the highlight of our trip!!

Priceless memories! Must book, don’t miss out.

Nicole_S, May 2023

Arthur and his son were amazing! They gave us a very memorable cruise on the Seine River. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Their efforts, kindness, knowledge, humor, and Arthur’s wonderful picture taking skills were priceless… 100 stars! Will definitely recommend their tour to friends and family and will book them again next time we’re in Paris! Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity, you won’t be disappointed :)

Had a wonderful time! ...

Kim_L, May 2023

Had a wonderful time! Guide was entertaining and informative. Teenage children, enjoyed as well. Highly recommend.

Wonderful experience

GroFodstad_E, May 2023

A wonderful experience and a truly extraordinary way of really taking in Paris. I will never forget it! Artur combined information with a lot of humor - and with his informal ways he also charmed our teenagers and they loved the trip! And we were really impressed with the serving and it higthened the experience even furter🤩 We have been takling about the trip many times afterwards and I reckon we will also continue to do so. And it’s almost so we want to do it again when we come back, then in the evening. So we really loved it👍👍

Fun on the Seine

Mary_S, May 2023

Our tour guide was knowledgeable and fun, We laughed, shared personal stories of our families and enjoyed the homemade tea and cookies while seeing the wonderful sights of Paris.

Excellent tour! Highly...

Deborah_S, May 2023

Excellent tour! Highly recommend!!!! My daughter and I enjoyed the Seine River tour. Breathtaking views! Informative tour guide!!!

Magical Sail on the Seine

Theresa_W, Apr 2023

Our Seine boat cruise with Artur was the perfect way to end our Paris trip! It had been raining during the day so we were preparing for our sunset cruise to be canceled or at least not have much sunset to see but the weather cleared up just in time for a magical sail with his gift of phenomenal photos to prove it! Artur was a fantastic host and we would highly recommend sailing with him!

Great way to end our Paris trip

Anthony_D, Apr 2023

Arthur was a wonderful guide - fun, energetic, and made us so comfortable. He brought snacks and drinks for the whole family.

Best tour in Paris

Maytee_P, Jan 2023

This was the best tour we booked. We rang in the New Year aboard the Le Fleuron and Arthur made our night an unforgettable one. He took the best pictures too! The views of Paris from the Seine are breathtaking. When in Paris book this tour. You will not regret it.

Excellent river tour. Don't miss this!

Lisa_D, Nov 2022

This tour was so great. I'm so glad we did it. Arthur was a wonderful host. He shared good information about the landmarks that we passed, and he took lovely photos. Although we expected it to be cold on the river, and so we dressed very warmly, it was still colder than we were expecting, so be sure to dress WARM. Arthur had a pitcher of hot tea, as well as cookies and a selection of cold drinks available for us, as well. The hot tea was excellent and helped warm us up. We are a group of five, and wanted a tour from the river. This private tour was the right choice for us, instead of crowding on to a mega-boat with dozens or hundreds of others. A great tour, a different perspective on the landmarks that you are used to seeing from ground level, and a very nice host. I strongly recommend this tour.

Great afternoon on the Seine.

DeAnna_B, Nov 2022

Our trip started off a bit on the wrong foot when we arrived about 15-20 minutes late (it's a longer walk and more out of the way than we had planned) and our guild, Arthur, was a bit annoyed with our tardiness. But he slowly forgave us and provided an entertaining tour, captured great insta worthy photos of us all, and treated us with champagne, beer, and fun stories as well. I would 100% recommend this tour!

Best Boat Tour on the Seine - worth every penny!

Sandra_S, Oct 2022

The perfect way to begin our vacation in Paris!! Artur, our Captain, was personable and knowledgeable, making our ride on the Seine a memorable one. He takes time to tell you about the landmarks along the way and took professional photos which he then airdropped to us - this is part of the package. Also had drinks and some wonderful pastries (made by his wife!). Thank you for a special trip down the Seine!

Best ever

Mark_B, Oct 2022

Artur is fantastic. Very knowledgeable and fun. He made the whole excursion exciting and fun. He’s a very proud man and it shows in his work

Best River cruise in Paris

Mike_M, Sep 2022

This is the River cruise to take in Paris. It is intimate, we saw all the points of interest without fighting the crowded large boats, the the driver was charming and knowledgeable. If I could give this venue a “6” I would!!!
