The cruise is beautiful and offers a unique view of Paris. For those who want it is possible to stay inside the boat to avoid the cold that is inevitable in winter. The upper floor is uncovered, with long benches on all sides to offer the best possible view. In the centre, the roof is glazed to let those staying indoors see the outside. We stayed outdoors so I don't know what the view through the glass roof is like.

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 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.

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!

Take the cruise at dusk or night to see the Eiffel Tower lighted up. If you sit on the upper deck, the audio for the guided tour can not be heard though, but sitting at the upper deck was a good decision for us as we are able to see better the sights with the chilly wind adding more to the experience.

Was a good experience, good to queue up for about 15-20 mins before the time you want to go on the cruise. It’s a big group size, don’t expect a very intimate setting but the cruise itself is very nice. Recommend going in the evening, on the trips that start on the hour (5pm, 6pm) instead of half past (5.30pm, 6.30pm), because you get to see the twinkling Eiffel Tower twice on the boat ☺️

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.

Had a very good experience, Booked it the same morning, the spot was easy to find the boat was open at the top as well so that is a big plus for me, there is a commentary on top, to explain to you what you are actually seeing this is a must if you visit Paris.

My family and (3 people) joined this tour in Dec 2022. Booked online, went to the banks of the Seine opposite the Eiffel Tower, then embarked on an exciting journey, seeing parts of Paris by river. Since we left just before sunset, Paris with the lights on and the Eiffel Tower looking golden, were truly the unforgettable sights.

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!
