Review of a private Paris Seine cruise with Champagne, snacks, photos, Eiffel Tower views, and flexible family-friendly service.

“Had a wonderful experience with this company. Our original booking date was due to be a total wash out with rain. I was a little sad, but it's Paris, so we were ready to make the best of it. Just as we arrived in Paris the operator reached out and offered to move us to the next day where there was less chance of rain! We had a wonderful time on the cruise and viewing the Eiffel Tower sparkle!”

We were in, in less than 10 min.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 914 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.)

See the Louvre’s masterpieces with a private guide in 90 minutes, but plan carefully for separate tickets and possible communication issues.

“The tour operator “A Taste of Paris” and our guide Damien made sure we were aware that we needed to get the Louvre admission tickets on our own. Damien was so kind to adjust our starting time to accommodate our schedule. He had a soft voice so we were relieved that earphones were provided so we could hear Damien. A 90-minute tour was indeed short for such a massive museum and I could tell that Damien had such a love for art history that he even gave us extra time to make sure we didn’t miss out on the important paintings. Having a knowledgeable guide to point out interesting things…”
