they were super nice and the time flew by. If you sit on the deck you wont have the audioguide but if you sit downstares there will be enough guide-phones for everyone. One of the workers kept informing the entire boat (the deck too) whenever we were passing bye an important sight, to make aure we wouldn't miss it. It was great!

Having read the reviews we planned our day for the 5/5:30pm ferry to see the city at night. On arrival the line was horrendously long, at least a few hours wait. As we had a dinner reservation so we had to come back again later ((which was very annoying as we were the other side of town so multiple train tickets were purchased)). We came back for the 10pm trip which was fairly empty and were the last group to attend the ferry. We weren't disappointed - was amazing to see the city at night with hardly anyone upstairs. We used our phone for the commentary but at times was nice to just take in the sights. Shame the company don't ticket the time slots to avoid initial disappointments with queing.

We went on a Mon and was told it was closed for private event and told to come back next day. The cruise was much bigger than expected. Most people went to the upper deck to catch the views outside but soon, most came down to the lower deck which was warmer since now is winter. Value for money considering is an-hour cruise ride. Just relax and enjoy and scenery.

Even on a rainy evening we loved the river cruise. The lights are so beautiful and it is amazing how many landmarks you can see from the river. The bridges of Paris are best seen from the water. The narrator was interesting and he made sure that we recognized the major monuments and buildings along the way.

The specified 20 minutes that you should be there before the desired date are by no means sufficient in the high season. We queued 1 1/2 hours before it was our turn. The comments can hardly be understood in some places on deck. You should be aware that this is a mass processing. Still well organized.

Specific starting point was vague. There were hundreds of people milling around for several different cruise companies. You need to give exact coordinates. If you don’t speak French it’s a confusing situation. Also very long lines with 30-45 minutes waiting. Boat was super full for sunset cruise. Very confusing

Didn’t have to queue for very long and once all onboard we got going. Great way to see many beautiful buildings, the architecture is outstanding. We were lucky with the weather so sat out on the top deck, it was abit of a squeeze as the boat was very busy. It was definitely worth booking ahead. Would do this trip again shoukd I come back to Paris.

This was a great way to see some of the beautiful sights of Paris, but in order to hear the guided portion you have to be inside the boat on the main level rather than up top on the outside seats. This meant choosing between having a closer open air view of the city or knowing what I was actually looking at. I would still go on this river cruise again but would have liked to know this ahead of time.

Cruise started and ended EXACTLY on time. We rode on 1/2 on top and it was was cold and windy esp on the return but was to be expected. We were lucky to have a sunny day. Commentary cannot be heard when on top but there is an app for that. I had been to Paris several times so did not need it but first timers should know what they are seeing.

The river cruise is definitely worth doing. There is an audio commentary in different languages and all glass so even if you don’t have a window seat you can see everything. We didn’t visit at peak tourist season so plenty of room. Was great to get out of the cold too!
