Eiffel Tower
Book directly with us on boatinparis (.) fr with code VIATOR for a 15% discount! The most famous monument in Paris, the star of the capital: the Eiffel Tower. It was presented at the world fair in 1889 to celebrate the centenary of the French Revolution. We owe this work of art to Gustave Eiffel. It is 1,000 feet high and weighs 10,000 tons. For a long time it was the highest monument in the world. You can visit the Eiffel Tower every day, all year round, until 11:00 at night, and till midnight during summer. It is repainted every seven years - about 60 tons of paint are required and the restoration lasts for three years. An interesting fact is that Parisians didn’t like it at all when it was built. They found it really ugly, and they were afraid the tower would collapse. Originally, the Eiffel Tower was built for 20 years but it was saved from demolition in 1906 when they put an antenna at the top.
Pont Alexandre III
Book directly with us on boatinparis (.) fr with code VIATOR for a 15% discount! From the Seine, the Pont Alexandre III dazzles with its ornate elegance, a masterpiece of Belle Époque design. Its graceful arch spans the river in a single sweep, adorned with gilded sculptures of nymphs, cherubs, and Art Nouveau lampposts. At each corner, towering columns crowned with golden-winged statues glisten in the sunlight, symbolizing France’s grandeur. The bridge’s soft blue-gray metal contrasts with its golden details, reflecting beautifully on the water below. As boats pass beneath, they glimpse one of Paris’ most opulent and romantic landmarks.

We had an incredible experience on our private boat tour in Paris. Lionel, our guide, was absolutely amazing, friendly, and full of fun facts that brought each stop to life. It was the perfect way to kick off the holiday season. The boat itself was beautiful, and Lionel showed us all the major sights, including the Eiffel Tower and several Olympic hot spots, while sharing interesting stories about each area. It was a fun, memorable experience from start to finish, and I would definitely recommend it!

We cannot recommend Boat in Paris enough!! We booked this tour for our honeymoon and had the most amazing time. Our guide was the BEST — he provided us with directions and info before the tour, and during the tour shared his so many cool facts about Paris, pointing out famous landmarks and giving insight into the history of the city. We were able to play our own music while enjoying delicious wine and macrons and taking in the beautiful sights on the Seine — I would 100% recommend booking with them!!

We enjoyed our vintage car tour of Paris. When our driver, Theo, said he was also a private boat captain, we signed up for his tour the next day. I've been to Paris a few times, but the most recent trip was 17 years ago. I had never done a tour on the Seine and it was on my list of Must-Dos for this trip. I saw the large boats on the Seine with every seat on top filled with tourists. This private tour was so much more intimate and romantic. Theo shared some information about sites along the way, but also let us soak in the scenery. What a great way to celebrate my 60th birthday! Champagne and macaron cookies on the Seine! I highly recommend this tour.

What a great way to see Paris from the Seine. Having a boat to ourselves was the best. Theo was a fantastic guide and provided the history of the buildings/areas we passed. I would highly recommend.

I had booked this getaway for a Tinder date, in order to change some air and get off the beaten track. It must be said that you are quickly bored at a restaurant, especially when two people do not have so much to say. I was not disappointed! Apart from the very pleasant discovery of Paris, Xavier allowed us to find very interesting topics for discussion and we had a wonderful time!! Xavier is of rare humor. Everything was top, both on the quality of the boat and on the quality of its skipper. Thank you so much for this experience. I will be back with great pleasure.

Discovering Paris and its lights was my girlfriend's dream. Since she was a child, she has travelled to the city of love through novels and films. Our dog’s name is Remy, as in the movie Ratatouille, to tell you! I organized a weekend in Paris and in particular a boat trip on the Seine. There we met Xavier, our captain. He made this walk a moment of enchantment with all his anecdotes and jokes. Not far from the Eiffel Tower, in the musical atmosphere of Paris, slightly lulled by the waves, I proposed. She said yes under the starry sky! Xavier had a moving speech about Love! Words of rare finesse! Worthy of a theatrical logorrhea! Thank you again Xavier for this moment with you! We invite you to our wedding in 2028! Looking forward to seeing you at your wedding until then! We kiss you hard!
