⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our private boat trip along the Seine in Paris was simply magical! The owner's daughter, our guide, was not only knowledgeable but incredibly friendly and professional. Her expertise in capturing perfect photos made the journey even more memorable. The family surprised us with a generous spread of food and drink, adding an extra layer of luxury to our experience. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to see the sights of Paris in a truly unforgettable way!

Memory of a lifetime!!

Jonathan_S, May 2024

Artur is simply the best! My wife and I had the pleasure of a 3:30 pm private tour, and every detail of the cruise was perfect. We laughed with Artur the entire time, loved to hear how he takes such pride in his family business, and felt like we were the most important guests on the river. What a fantastic and beautiful way to see Paris, and could not recommend Arthur and his company more. Thank you!

Such a great experience!...

Stephanie_M, Apr 2024

Such a great experience! Absolutely beautiful sites on an intimate boat road. Our captain was very generous, supplying food and drink, blankets and even being a fabulous photographer, creating beautiful memories.

Magnificent nightime cruise on the Seine!

Jennifer_L, Apr 2024

By far, the best tour we did in Paris! Seeing Paris at night from the Seine was stunning. Our guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable about the city and its history. This tour will be a must do on our next trip to Paris.

Great private boat tour

Rachel_B, Apr 2024

Great private boat tour. We really enjoyed being able to see the city by the water. The captain is very knowledgeable and takes care of you with a nice surprise in the beginning. Couldn’t recommend more!

Wonderful experience

Vanessa_B, Apr 2024

Great experience! Personnel are very professional and kind. We strongly recommend this experience. It exceeded our expectations! We were with a 3 year old toddler and she also enjoyed a lot.

Hawaiians on the Seine

Laurene_C, Apr 2024

Rado was extremely personable, welcoming and knowledgeable. His humor kept us engaged and entertained making our trip memorable. He was always concerned about the safety, comfort and well being of his passengers. The boat was well stocked with a plethora of beverages and snacks…we enjoyed his mother’s lemon honey tea. This is the perfect tour for newcomers as well as frequent visitors; to see Paris from a whole new perspective. His parents should be proud of him! Aloha and Mahalo, Laurene C.

So much fun!!

David_L, Apr 2024

Highly recommended for anyone wanting to see the sights of Paris in a truly unforgettable way!

Perfect Evening

Nathan_C, Apr 2024

Arturo really is awesome! He gave us an amazing evening and provided us with the best pictures imaginable. We took the 9:30pm boat ride so we could enjoy Paris at night and it really was perfect.

Unique and Intimate experience of a lifetime

Carrie_M, Apr 2024

Incredible! Very capable boat captain who is also informative and fun! Best way to see the Eiffel Tower and bridges—totally worth it!

Best tour in Paris

Charles_B, Apr 2024

Excellent communication with Artur. Although boat ride was chilly due to cold front, it was well worth it…Photos we were able to get at night with my family will be cherished for my lifetime. Definitely go for night rides…they took great photos of my family with Paris sights in background.

The Highlight of our Paris Trip: Just Book It; You Won't Regret It

Kyle_S, Apr 2024

I want to start off by saying thank you to Artur and his family; specifically Patricia (Artur's daughter) as she was our captain + guide. Patricia was very accommodating and was able to balance being our guide & telling us all about the monuments while also capturing an album full of photos of us that we'll cherish for the rest of our lives. I know you're probably looking at larger commercial tours because this one is a lot more expensive, but do yourself a favor and book this one. It's well worth the money and we even got a special "surprise" at the beginning that not only saved us money, but it also gave us a unique experience that we'll always remember. Plus, this a family owned business, so I think it's important to celebrate and support that. We booked the night tour from 21:30 - 23:00 (but I'd also recommend the sunset tour if available) so we were able to see the Eiffel Tower sparkle twice from the boat. Blankets, beverages, and homemade cookies (which were amazing) were provided, so we literally didn't have to worry about anything besides experiencing the tour. To go off of that, as someone who takes photos for a living, it was so nice to be able to have someone taking good photos of us while we enjoyed our trip (something we couldn't do on a larger tour where we'd have to awkwardly interrupt someone else's experience to have them take photos of us while having dozens of people in the background). Long story short: book this tour. Seriously. It'll be the highlight of your trip and you'll have zero regrets. Again, big thanks to Artur & his family (specifically our awesome captain, Patricia). p.s. I'm sorry for stepping on your boat seats, Artur! We were in a rush and that's my fault. I'll never do it again! Sincerely, The Stoutenbergs

So glad we booked this

Ida_L, Apr 2024

We loved it. It was relaxing in such a busy city, and you get to see many of the landmarks. They are very thoughtful and prepared extra drinks and snacks for us. We have a toddler, and our captain had kids friendly coloring books and bubbles for her as well. On top of that, our captain helped us captured many nice family pictures. We have been doing a lot of tours and this is one of our favorites. Highly recommended for any families traveling with children or couples that are looking to do a boat tour in Paris. You’ll be glad you did

Artur and his family made...

Vishal_C, Apr 2024

Artur and his family made this private boat tour a very special day for us. We were provided detailed instructions on the meeting point and were greeted with a smile. Our boat operator gave us the history at each important landmark. They also provide a small “surprise” for all guests. For us, the icing on the cake was the “boat load” of pictures they took for our family. We highly recommend this family fun activity!

Excellent river tour for family!

Abby_R, Apr 2024

Wonderful way to take in the river and enjoy the sites. Charming family business with personal touches and amazing photos. Was a highlight of our trip.

Best Boat Tour

Leah_k, Apr 2024

This private boat tour was the perfect beginning of our Paris family trip. Arthur and his daughter Patricia made our trip so memorable and worth while. His daughter took us out on the Seine and entertained us with her knowledge of Paris as she delivered wonderful surprises for the family on the boat. It was an excellent experience and we will definitely return for another boat adventure with Arthur and his family on Paris En Bateau!!!

Amazing!

lucianacba25, Apr 2024

Amazing experience. Our family love everything about it. It was a nice private boat and the tour guide was super nice.

Friendly / Informative

Paul_T, Apr 2024

I attended the cruise with my three children and one of their teenage friends. From the moment I booked I found the experience to be positive, Artur ensured we well informed, then on the day we had one of Arturs daughters take us out. She was a lovely young woman who provided lots of information about Paris and ensured the children enjoyed the experience as well.

Wonderful family experience

Suzanne_A, Apr 2024

What a wonderful experience! We enjoyed an evening cruise and were treated to beverages, treats, and tea. The sights were gorgeous, the ride was comfortable, and the host was fantastic. Narrated our voyage so we learned about the city and the sights and took many photos of our family with Paris landmarks as our backdrop. Highly recommend!
