Captain Alexis made this cruise around Paris memorable! He knowledgeable, friendly, and very accommodating for my family (with older parents). Some may not think the price is worth the experience, but I can tell you that my family thought it was the best part of our 3 day stay. I would book again when I come back in a few years!

Best Part of Our Trip

Rebecca_D, Oct 2023

What an amazing boat ride, beautiful sites and the history of the city! Our guide was perfect educating us on all the history and he made the experience perfect for us! Must do in Paris!! Loved the private ride verse the very crowded other boats!!!!

Amazing Boat Ride

Katrina_H, Oct 2023

What a great experience! Our family of 6 had so much fun and what a great view! We were so thankful to have such a small intimate ride compared to those big boats that we kept seeing. Alexis was so knowledgeable and funny. Don’t hesitate to book this and we’ll see you next time we’re in Paris!

One of our best experiences in the city

Eric_G, Oct 2023

Beautiful experience with the fantastic Captain Alexis who gave us fantastic explanations. Do not take the large tour boats. Take this one. One of the best ways to see the city.

Lovely tour through Paris on the Seine. Don’t waste your time on a packed tour boat.

Scott_C, Sep 2023

Way better than the river cruise on a packed tour boat. We loved having the boat all to ourselves and enjoyed our own wine and snacks. Alexis was a great tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and proud of his city. This is the only way to see Paris by boat. We would definitely do this tour again.

Amazing experience!

Jennifer_B, Aug 2023

This was a fabulous experience! We really enjoyed getting to see famous Paris sites from a private boat. The captain was friendly and even let my teens drive the boat briefly. He provided a bottle of wine and we brought our own bread and cheese. We got some great pictures of our family.

Such a fun cruise!

Christina_F, Jul 2023

Me and my parents really enjoyed our private cruise! It's a great way to experience the river without dealing with crowds, and the captain does a great job of pointing out all the major sights, while taking amazing pictures and providing you with wine. I am slightly scared of water but eventually got used to the motion you feel on a smaller boat. Definitely recommended if you'd like to cruise the Seine River with a great view.

Great way to ride on the Seine.

Rhonda_C, Jul 2023

What a great way to see the sites on the Seine. Alexis made sure we had time to take pictures that we wanted along the route. We were happy that we took an exclusive tour after seeing the other tour boats crammed with people. The pick up location was easy to find. Overall it was a great experience! Thank you Captain Alexis!

Highlight of our trip!

Raynie_R, Jul 2023

This was the highlight of our trip! Our captain was extremely knowledgeable, family oriented, stopped at all the great photo ops and was entertaining!

A great small boat cruise

Yvonne_Q, Jun 2023

It was a fun way for our group of six to have a private cruise up and down the Seine in Paris. The Captain pointed out the sights and took some fun photos of us.

A lovely afternoon

Julie_P, Jun 2023

Alexis made sure we got to see as much of Paris as possible before the rain hit. He was friendly, flexible, knowledgeable and made this trip one of our favorite things about visiting Paris. If you're thinking about booking this trip, do it!

We were a group of four...

Samantha_W, Jun 2023

We were a group of four and had the most wonderful afternoon on this private cruise! We brought lunch with us and a delicious bottle of wine was provided. It was so relaxing to cruise along the seine with stunning views and a break from the crowds. Was such a great way to take in all the sights. Would highly recommend!

Highlight of our visit to Paris!

Bob_H, May 2023

We had a wonderful time with our family and Captain Alexis! He did a great job of pointing out landmarks and special areas. He provided a nice bottle of wine and a way to keep the glasses from spilling. He took pictures for us and provided a Bluetooth speaker so that we could play music. It was truly a highlight of our visit to Paris!

Favorite part of the trip!

VIP Boat Tour!

pattyamonroe, May 2023

What an amazing day with Captain Alex!! We had the best time and felt like VIP on Seine!! Wine, music… Ohh la la!! Dont miss this opportunity to see Paris on a boat!! Merci !!

Spectacular final night in Paris.

Lori_S, May 2023

This was the final tour we took to end our week in Paris and it was a perfect way to celebrate an amazing week. Captain Alexis toured us past all the Paris landmarks we had walked by earlier in the week. It was wonderful to see all these sights from the perspective of the river, especially all the bridges with the gargoyles, grotesques and decorative carvings. Alexis provided lots of information and historical background about many of the landmarks and bridges and he was so kind to take several group photos of us. We enjoyed toasting our week in Paris with a lovely bottle of wine. Thank you again Captain Alexis for making our final night in Paris spectacular.

A Must Do when in Paris!

diannehiggins201, Mar 2023

The absolute best and breathtaking views to see many of the famous historical sites in Paris…. From the Seine River. Our Captain, Alexis was so entertaining and welcoming. This is a “must do” when you visit France. We rented the boat for just the two of us and it was wonderful to avoid the crowds and be on the water. Don’t miss this once in a life-time opportunity! Thank you Captain Alexis! Tom and Dianne Higgins

Great afternoon

Katrin_C, Mar 2023

We enjoyed our tour with Alexis on the Seine river. We brought a picnic lunch on board and enjoyed eating while taking in the sites of Paris. Alexis was very accommodating with some time change requests we had.

this was our HIGHLIGHT of...

Kylie_G, Oct 2022

this was our HIGHLIGHT of our trip! It is a private cruise on the Seine by Alexis. He is wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable of the history of Paris. If there is anything I would recommend doing-it is this. DEFINITELY worth the money!

An amazing tour with Alexis!

Keith_M, Aug 2022

What more can I say about Alexis? We had to adjust our start time more than once and he accommodated us at every turn. He was very helpful right from the beginning, this was before the boat trip! . A perfect bottle of Rose set the tone for the evening and between his knowledge of Paris and his care for my family, I would give 6 starts if I could! He surprised my wife as it was her birthday with a spectacular display at the Eiffel tower. At the end of it all he dropped us off at a different location than we started so it would be easier for us to navigate home! I would 1000% take this trip with him again! You will not regret booking this one!!
