I really enjoyed the guide's expert-level explanations!! Highly recommend for those interested in architecture and wanting to learn about Paris in detail~!! I strongly recommend taking this tour on your first day in Paris!! ㅠㅠ We had already seen most of the tourist attractions before taking the guide's tour, which was a shame! I feel like it would be new again if we listened first and then revisited those places! Thank you to the guide for providing such detailed and friendly explanations, even though it was a private tour for just the two of us!! I enjoyed hearing the fun explanations while walking through hidden streets all over Paris ㅎㅎ😎👍✨ #Great weather is a bonus!

Ana is a great tour guide, her humor and wit added a lot of fun to this short trip. Highly recommend arriving by 9:30 AM, it was past 12:00 PM when we reached the summit… the whole experience takes a very long time.

The Louvre was inexplicably canceled. I wouldn't recommend last-minute bookings. The price wasn't particularly cheap either, just okay.

Great value for the price. You can start taking photos half an hour early, leaving you enough time for dinner. The food quality is okay, and champagne, mineral water, and bottled red wine are all included. The photographer will take photos for you, and there's no pressure to buy them. Each photo costs 25 euros, but if you buy two, you'll get all five 5R-sized photos for free.

Easy-to-find location with clear instructions. The food is delicious, and the full glass boat offers stunning views. You can also go to the deck for photos. Professional photographers are available on board for €20 per photo. We recommend the lunch cruise, as the glass reflects during dinner, causing glare in indoor photos. The only downside is that the window seats for two are a bit small.

It was great. We didn’t wait for too long for the boat to be full. We did the evening cruise, Eiffel and the whole Seine river scenery was so beautiful.

The boat tour lasts for one hour, starting from the designated pier, with announcements throughout to introduce the key sightseeing spots around. It’s good for first-time travellers who have no idea where to see or go in Paris.
