A great way to discover Paris in a unique way. A warm and friendly welcome, a comfortable boat with the option of on-board food and refreshments, and roof-top seats offering great views of the city's waterfront. A very enjoyable guided tour along the river.

A superb experience! Very reasonable prices, top-notch guide, relatively few people on the boat! We took the picnic option, and were pleasantly surprised by how much we got for the price! I highly recommend it!
