Paris Boat Tours

It was really interesting to see the canals of Paris as well as the Seine - but it does take a long time to get through 9 locks! the area of Paris where the canal cruise starts was a fantastic bit of Paris to see that you would not do if you just did the Seine river cruise - but it would have been good to have a bit longer on the actual Seine as well.

The idea of a dinner cruise is nice. But it would be more enjoyable if operated on time and there was more consistent info. We received emails saying to be there at 8, one at 8:15 and one at 7:15. The boat was supposed to leave at 8:30, but was late. Should have arrived back at 11, but it was almost 11:30. Made us late for our journey back to our hotel. Chairs were quite small and uncomfortable. Service was good.

Boats leave regularly, not long queue to get on. Plenty room inside or outside to sit or stand, good commentary. Overall nice trip, I would say the views of the site's are better from the land however.

Our guide Artur was fabulous! We got lost on the way to his boat and was late about 15 minutes. He was so nice about it and we really appreciated that! It was a lovely night time cruise and he had champagne, water soda for us plus delicious artisan polish cookies. He showed all the best sites and took pictures of our family at each one. He is very energetic and kind and capable. Highly recommend this tour!

Nice visit to the top. The only flaw I would change is that to validate the purchased tickets it was necessary to go near a bar 600 meters away from the Eiffel Tower 10 minutes before the set time to get on. Too bad that no one was there at the appointed time. They arrived 30 minutes late compared to the agreed time and I had the concern that they wouldn't let me get on board because I missed the established time.

We loved our dinner cruise on the Seine. It was overall great but a few comments: The check in location is not really marked well but we were able to find and meet up with fellow cruisers by following the directions given - it is literally across the street from Musee d'Orsay. Once on board we were greeted and quickly brought to our seats. We felt like the service was fine if a bit pushy for us to purchase extras - photos, drinks, etc. Don't get tricked into paying for drinks or even water... one glass of wine is included but if you want water, you must specify tap, or you will be charged 6 euros for Evian! Wifi on board is advertised but was not available for our cruise. The food was pretty good, better than we were expecting. But the whole experience was for the views, not the meal! Seeing everything all lit up was just stunning - it made the entire experience worthwhile. I honestly consider this a must-do in Paris. Very romantic and a great way to end the day. We loved it!

We spend the better part of 4 hours touring and still didn't get it all in...a good part but not all. Breathtaking masterpeices decorating the walls of the palace...probably could have spent a day in each exhibit if I had the time and money. So much to take in and appreciate. We arrived early morning, it was busy then but when we left mid afternoon it was rather hectic. Morning visits are recommended, definitely smaller crowds.

Bateau Parisien was excellent. It made this seamless Only warning is taxis directly outside boat are ripping off passengers when getting off boat . 50 Euros for 20 Euro trip . Don’t use . Go up to Eiffel Tower taxi stand. Must. Be sure they use meter and don’t preset meter and take credit cards.

Been to Paris numerous times, didn't even know they had these canals . . now I know why they tried the Panama Canal now. Really interesting but very slow . . due to the multi-double locks and single locks and the long final tunnel before the River Seine.

Fantastic Seine cruise, plenty of seating both inside and out, lovely views around the riverbank including famous buildings - free wifi to be able to listen to an informative audio guide, and heated inside which was great as we went in winter and found it was quite windy on the return back up the river. Very good experience, easy to find too.

This was delightful. The combination of canal, locks, underground and Seine kept the trip continually interesting. The distance underground was fairly long, but we traveled very quickly thru this section, so it wasn't a large percentage of the trip time. Also, I was concerned that we would be dripped on while in the underground section, especially as it was raining a bit at that point, but the open air access points didn't drip. We felt a bit of rain there, but no questionable dripping.

We took the 10 pm boat and with the timing of the cruise, just as we docked at the river at the base of the Eifle Tower, the light show went off. I do recommend you be sure to take it late evening so you can enjoy the beauty of Paris reflected in the river. All along the route there were many people out sitting ont the river banks, strolling, dancing, yelling out to the boats. Great fun. Do it!! Cheap!!!

Great lunch and cruise But we were offered window seats for an extra €10 each as we boarded which we declined However we were sat at window seats anyway - so felt someone was trying to rip us off Also lack of commentary poor- my daughter did download the app as suggested - but only written info given and difficult to follow so we gave up

We love this ease of visiting the main tourist attractions, getting on and off the TOOT BUS at all stops. Taking pictures knowing the place, being able to take the TOOT bus, at the stop at any time. If you want to save money and travel safely. It's worth every penny in buying the tickets.

Very nice cruise, with a group of less than 40 people, I recommend. Having unfortunately missed the slot for the day of my reservation due to a transport problem, they made no difficulty so that I could take the cruise the next day and I really thank them for that, it's cool.

Really lovely experience, our waiter was super friendly and hospitable. The food was excellent, I tried things I’d never had before. Our wine was always topped up. We did the cheapest option but we still had great views from our seats as the views are panoramic. There was a woman singing which really set up the ambience. I enjoyed the whole experience I would definitely recommend and I would book this experience again if I were to come back to Paris, as I’m sure they change the menu for different seasons.
