5.00The boat ride showed us important information about the sites. The guide on the boat was friendly and knowledgeable. The time for shopping is short. The bus was comfortable.
Enjoyable and enriching experience in a single day

5.00We had a knowledgeable guide leading the way as soon as we stepped off the cruise ship. We enjoyed it all : from the grandeur of the Louvre to the allure of Notre-Dame Cathedral and the iconic Eiffel Tower.

5.00We were able to easily find the meeting point before the tour, as communicated by the tour company. The guide (Kate) made the whole experience memorable, including of course the boat cruise.
Beautiful views and it was also adventurous

5.00Amazing cruise experience. It was like an adventure, thanks to the guide who shared nice stories and facts. Seeing the Eiffel Tower at sunset was worth it.

5.00Really good day. Amir was patient and funny, and the walking part wasn’t too long. Seeing Notre Dame from the boat was emotional for me.
Fantastic guide Cat

5.00Cat was honestly fantastic. She answered everyone’s questions, and since she has lived in Paris for most of her life, the stories she shared were truly fascinating. She also gave us great recommendations for our free time, so we knew exactly where to go to buy presents for our friends. We would have loved a bit more time in Paris, but we appreciate Viator’s commitment to getting everyone back to the port on time
One of our favorite tours (and reasonably priced)

5.00The guide made the whole Paris walk interesting, not boring like some tours we’ve done before. And we paid half the price of what the cruise ship would have charged.
