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.

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.

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 ☺️

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

We had an amazing experience at this cruise!! Well organized and easy to find the meet point. It was aamazing to see the buldings and the bridges from th boat. We took the boat at 16:30, so we had the opportunity to see Paris before getting dark and at the end of the cruise the lights of Eiffel tower!

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.
