Paris in a Day Tour with River Cruise | Semi-Private Experience Reviews

Truly Comprehensive Tour

I’ve done many city tours, but this was the most comprehensive one-day experience I’ve ever had. From bohemian Montmartre to world-class art at the Louvre and the peaceful Seine, it covered everything with depth and care.

The Eiffel Tower Finale

We timed our cruise for sunset, and watching the Eiffel Tower light up from the river was unforgettable. It was the perfect finale to an already amazing day.

Not Just for Tourists

Our guide made it clear this wasn’t just “tourist Paris.” We saw hidden corners of Montmartre and even a little café where locals hang out. It gave us a real feel for the city beyond the big landmarks.

Romantic and Relaxing

Walking the cobbled streets of Montmartre, hearing about Renoir, and later gliding down the Seine—it was a dream. My fiancé and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Paris.

Very Smoothly Run

I was impressed by how smoothly everything was handled—tickets, transportation, timing. It felt effortless, and I could just enjoy Paris without stressing about logistics.

History Lover’s Dream

I loved the Île de la Cité portion—learning about the Revolution and Marie Antoinette gave me goosebumps. The Louvre visit was efficient and avoided the chaos I saw in other lines.

Small Group Made a Huge Difference

Only six of us, which meant we could move quickly and easily, especially in crowded spots. I’ll never do a large bus tour again after this experience.

An Artist’s Perspective

As a painter myself, I loved seeing Montmartre where so many greats lived and worked. The vineyard was a highlight, as was seeing Picasso’s haunts. It gave me new inspiration.

Memorable Day with Christian

Christian was patient, funny, and so knowledgeable. He even suggested the perfect café for lunch. I especially appreciated his explanations in the Louvre—he made art approachable, not intimidating.

Family-Friendly and Well Done

We brought our 12-year-old daughter, and she said this was her favorite day in Paris. She loved the boat ride and learning about the gargoyles on Notre Dame. LivTours made it easy for us parents too.
