This was one of the best experiences with tours we have had! David was so friendly and accommodating, he showed us all the landmarks, told us interesting historical stories, and made the tour very enjoyable. My teenage son even left his watch on the boat, David looked all over and found it under his cushions, and returned it to our hotel! He went above and beyond for us, and we are so appreciative. I would absolutely take this tour again.
David was great as our captain. The boat was perfect for a cruise along the Seine , we were celebrating our recent engagement, so for us it was romantic. We were able to see much of the city and David provided dialogue for all. He had music ready, snacks, wine and even blankets for when it got chilly. Communication was clear from pick up to drop off. Additionally we got many pictures of us and the sites. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a private experience on the river.
The ride was excellent. David, the person who attended us on the boat, was very kind and even took some incredible photos for us as a wonderful keepsake. I highly recommend it if you want to sail along the Seine in a მშვიდ and pleasant way.
Thrilled that you enjoyed the experience. Thank you!
This nighttime cruise was our honeymoon “splurge” activity and it was worth every penny. There was a high chance of rain , and though we had a few sprinkles, it did not spoil the experience. Arthur and David were very nice, took pictures of us, provided chips & water as well as a blanket to counter the nighttime chill. It was a very romantic experience for both of us and highly recommend it.
Thank you! We are touched that you chose our boat for your memories as a couple.
Our evening river cruise on the Seine was unforgettable thanks to Dawit and Arthur from MyBoatParis. They brought so much fun and warmth to the experience, turning a beautiful cruise into a truly memorable night. They were incredibly attentive, genuinely caring, and made sure every moment felt special. Their energy, hospitality, and attention to detail elevated the entire trip. We couldn’t have asked for better hosts. Thank you, Dawit and Arthur, for making our time on the Seine one we’ll always remember!
What a great time we had together! Thank you for your visit and your kindness
Dawit was an amazing host for my wife and me on our private Seine River cruise! He was funny, knowledgeable, and gave us plenty of space to just relax and enjoy the views when we wanted to. The boat was easy to find, clean, and stocked with drinks, snacks, and wine, which made the whole experience even better. It was the perfect way to spend an afternoon in Paris. Highly recommend!
Thank you for sharing this. It was a privilege to host you for this intimate moment.
It’s a small boat with a driver and a guide. The boat was ok. The guild was new to the area and still learning but was very nice. Bottom line if you want something private it’s good just not sure it’s worth the $$$$$.
Thank you for your feedback from last season. We are glad you appreciated the private nature of our cruise and the kindness of our team. We have taken your comments to heart. Since your visit, we have focused heavily on enhancing our guided experience and refining every detail on board to ensure our guests feel the full value of a premium private tour. Our goal is to offer an intimate escape that stands out from the crowded traditional cruises. We would love to have you back on board to experience our improvements firsthand. Safe travels!
So although our boat captain was very nice and tried his best.. there were two issues with our experience We had signed up and paid for a 2 hour private boat trip on the Seine at sunset. We were brought back to the dock at 1.5 hours after our departure without any notice of a shorter trip, we arrived back at 7:30 and we were supposed to be back at 8pm. The driver spoke very little English which made it difficult to understand anything about seeing the city from the water. We suggested that he get a co-captain who can speak English to the passengers.
Hello, My name is Dawit, I am the manager of the company. I would like to clarify that the cruise you booked through Viator is for 1 hour and 30 minutes, not 2 hours. To make sure, I personally called Viator’s customer service and they confirmed to me that your booking is indeed for 1h30 and not 2h. If Viator sold you a 2-hour experience by mistake, then the extra 30 minutes would need to be refunded directly by them, since they are responsible for the booking system. Please note that on our side, all our listings have always clearly stated 1h30, and we have never had any issue with this before. Thank you very much for your understanding. Best regards, Dawit Manager
Discovery very friendly and different than by the docks Very friendly staff A good time
Merci beaucoup ! Ca a été une joie pour nous de vous accueillir à bord !
This is a start up tour and I hope Thea best for them. Pre-Communication through Viator wasn’t great so they were late in picking us up. Not a big deal as we saw everything we wanted. The price of tour on Viator was confusing re: including champagne or food, but when I asked, the tour guide said “yes champagne and bread”. However, there was no food on boat and he said it was additional charge beforehand. Lastly, he charged me extra 30€ for the champagne after the tour which I thought was included. So, I suggest specific details in writing before you reserve.
Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for the misunderstanding regarding champagne and food. Our private cruise rate of €350 (excluding Viator’s commission) is already one of the lowest prices on the market in Paris, and does not include champagne, wine, cheese, or other food items. I will personally contact Viator to understand why their listing gave the impression that champagne and food were included. If you look at our own description, at no point do we state that these items are part of the base price. We hope you still enjoyed your cruise on the Seine and that you keep a good memory of your time in Paris. Dawit The Manger
