Excellent! Just excellent! Cannot thank Ettore enough for his extra attention and care. He was amazing with our kids and just made this the highlight of our trip! Book him! You won’t regret it!
Thank you so much !
Amazing private ride on the Seine! It was great to see all the highlights that we toured on land from thr water. Highly recommend.
Thanks a lot !!
We had a lot of fun taking the evening boat cruise! Ettore is a great captain and a very friendly guide, He gives right amount of commentaries along the way and makes sure we saw all the beauty along the river comfortably. Our family of three generations enjoyed the boat ride The sparkling Eiffel Tower will be in our memory forever! Thank you. Ettore!
Yes, forever in your memory ! Thank you.
Our time with Antonio was one of those experiences that made our trip to Paris feel truly special. He was our boat driver and captain, and from the moment we met him, he was so warm, personable, and genuinely excited to share his city with us. We spent an hour and a half on his beautiful boat, enjoying the sunshine and taking in Paris from the Seine. On the way out, Antonio shared so many interesting stories and little pieces of information about the city that I never would have known otherwise. He pointed out restaurants we should try, neighborhoods to explore, and places we would have never noticed on our own. What I loved most was that it never felt like we were simply being given a tour. It felt like Antonio was sharing his Paris with us. He clearly loves the city, and that came through in the way he talked about it. Seeing Paris from the water was absolutely beautiful and gave us a perspective that most people never get to experience. We took some amazing photos, but more importantly, we made memories that we will carry with us long after we leave Paris. Antonio, thank you for such a wonderful afternoon. We genuinely enjoyed spending time with you, and we feel very lucky that you were the person who showed us Paris from the Seine. I would recommend a boat tour with Antonio to anyone visiting Paris. It was truly one of our favorite experiences of the trip.
Paris is magical at any time! Thank you very much !
My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed this private Seine River cruise. The tour guide was courteous, informative, and entertaining. We have amazing pictures from this tour. The private cruise allowed us to avoid the huge crowds on the larger boats. The communication leading up to the tour was perfect. I would highly recommend this tour.
Thanks a lot !
