Get captivated by the city of romance and illumination from the water, on this tour of Paris. Cruise along the Seine, one of France’s longest rivers, and soak in all the iconic views of the city from its shore, like the unforgettable Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame.

Board the ferry at Port Javel Bas, which is in Paris city, and make yourself comfortable before we set off. Feel free to bring your own food and beverages to maximize your enjoyment on the trip. Pets are more than welcome too.

First, we’ll pass by the Statue of Liberty monument, followed by the Eiffel Tower, the Alexandre III Bridge, the Orsay Museum, and the Louvre. The ferry will then cruise under Pont Neuf, Europe’s oldest stone bridge and the first-ever to be built in Paris. Right after that, you’ll get an exclusive view of the Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Paris Plages - a popular artificial beach situated along the Seine.

Upon completion of your picturesque tour around Paris, you’ll be taken back to the Port of Javel Bas.

We provide a private aluminum boat with a capacity of 6 seats (1 driver + 5 passengers), which guarantees comfortable seating and provides stability while sailing - fetch the best deal in Paris. Ticket purchase from 1 to 3 at 114 € per person signifies shared tours (there might occasionally be a private cruise).
For those who prefer an exclusively private boat, 1 to 5 ticket purchases (use the Private Tour option - marked at €379) provides the same.
Please remember to download the ‘Google Maps application’ and retrieve the location link from the message I will be sending you, which is our genuine meeting point.
Do carry a phone with Google Maps (to locate the meeting point). Once you reach there, head over to the river bank and look for your small boat.
Don’t be late and remember to account for taxi issues and heavy traffic, as Paris is a large city.
Kindly ensure that you arrive 15 minutes early at the rendezvous point.
In case of Shared Cruises, we do not wait for late arrivals (there are no refunds and rescheduling for late arrivals - we maintain a policy of zero tolerance), as it disrupts the schedule of those who’ve arrived on time.
For Private Cruises, we can wait for late arrivals up for a maximum of 60 minutes (though this would reduce the duration of the cruise). If there’s a no-show, you won’t be refunded.
This tour lasts for around 1.5 hours.
Look forward to seeing you soon! :)

Beautiful views! - 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.

A wonderful tour that the “big boats” can’t match - We had a wonderful time! Our host provided a knowledgeable and friendly Seine River tour that included a generous spread of refreshments to enjoy throughout the experience. We made several stops for individual and group photos in front of landmarks. They delivered a wonderful time that the “big boats” simply cannot match.

A great private experience on the Seine - We booked this experience as part of our honeymoon and we are so glad we did! Artur’s son was very friendly and provided a wonderful assortment of drink options and cookies for us to enjoy. We were one of the only small/private boats on the Seine on a Friday night which made it even more cool, truly one of the only opportunities to get to experience the Seine in such a private and personalized manner. We highly recommend!

Beautiful trip and wonderful guide/driver! - We really weren’t sure what we were getting, this was booked with our travel agent as part of a two week itinerary so we didn’t have all the specifics and kind of thought we were going on a big boat with hundreds of people. We were having a tough time finding it, so I called and next thing I knew this polite boy on a bike found us and walked us to the boat! I was a little surprised when it was smaller, just because we didn’t realize what had been booked - but what a wonderful surprise it was!! A true family operation! The owner and his daughter were our drivers/guides and were wonderful. We were on a 9:30lm cruise and it was just beautiful! The owner was great, but his daughter was a true gem! Loved her! Book this trip - you wont regret it!

Enjoyable trip on the river of Seine - 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.

Lovely family-owned business creating unforgettable experiences on the seine - This is a lovely family-owned business that provided us a safe, lovely, fun, and unforgettable experience. Truly cannot convey the care and attention that was demonstrated by Artur and his son before, during, and after our boat ride. It was a bit chilly that evening and blankets were provided for us. We learned a great deal about different structures as we passed by them and were able to take gorgeous photos. If your tour is shared with others be aware that they provide a lovely experience capturing photos of everyone which does require shifting seats fairly quickly so everyone gets that picture perfect moment. In regards to arrival: Please listen to Artur's insight about departure time and be sure to give yourself plenty of wiggle room when arriving so that you can find the boat. Lastly, I think what impressed us the most on our shared boat tour was that both parties (group of 3 and group of 2) all consisted of women and Artur waited with us at 11pm as we waited for our ubers to arrive. It was just going that extra mile that blew us away. They truly took great care with us. I would easily repeat the experience again and can't recommend them enough. Thank you Artur!

Nice trip - 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.
