We enjoyed this particular cruise because the boat is smaller, and the champagne is a nice touch, especially for enjoying the sunset. We were in a hurry to find the boat and walked by it at first, so take your time to look for the name of the boat and their logo along the walk way! We passed right by it at first! Otherwise it was lovely!

This hour long river cruise in the evening was a fantastic way to see Paris by night with all of the iconic monuments lit up. A lovely way to spend an hour with a glass of champagne and biscuit. I would definitely do the cruise again.

Great first night introduction to Paris! Boat service was great and the champagne, biscuit and music were a perfect way to spend the hour while looking at the sites. I would have loved more of a narrative but the guide was hard to understand so it wouldn’t have helped much with this one, but I would have love more stories and history along the way.

We liked it because it was a smaller boat and not crowded. We went on the 8:30 trip and saw the sunset and the Eiffel Tower in gold.

The boat ride with the wonderful and helpful guide was probably my favorite event in Paris 2 my family. We took the 10:00 ride to catch the last of the sunset and see the Eiffel Tower lit as well. Absolutely stunning. Champagne was nice too. I didn’t catch the name of our guide he gave us some guidance on seating, took our pictures, answered our questions and absolutely was a delight (hope you know who you are :)) definitely consider this boat ride. It wasn’t super crowded, clean, and unforgettable to see the lights of Paris.

You have to see the Eiffel Tower lit up at night! The sun doesn’t set until late in the summers so the 10pm was wonderful. The English guide was a bit hard to understand but we were there for the sights more than the commentary. Had a rough moment finding the exact location because the name of the boat tour wasn’t on the ticket and there are a lot of boats. Made it though and it was not crowded at all compared to some boats we passed.

The boat was beautiful, not too big, and there weren’t many people, so we truly enjoyed it. I think this is the best cruise option on the Seine. The staff was kind. A wonderful experience.
