Paris Boat Tours

Went to the pier at 9:45 to catch the illuminations. At first, we were daunted by the length of the individual holder line (go to the 3.1 entrance), however once boarding started, the line moved rapidly. Recommend sitting on the top level for the best views and experience, but the bottom level is much more comfortable. The only challenge we faced was securing a taxi/Uber home after the visit. Though this is no fault of the boat tour whatsoever, be prepared to walk and eventually find a cab. Despite this setback, it is well worthwhile to partake in this cruise to experience the highlights of this magical City of Lights!

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.

Boat cruise was good. We got to see the beautiful Eiffel Tower lite up in the evening. I thought the cruise was a touch too long with it being 1.5 hours, you could see people becoming bored and were pretty anxious to get off. Overall its worth it.

The opera is beautiful! I definitely recommend checking it out. The cruise was a great experience. Details of the cruise was emailed to me the day before with very detailed instructions. I recommend going at sunset for an amazing experience.

There are audio guides in different languages on the boat which really helped. I enjoyed the open top floor of the boat, though it will get cold up there. I would suggest going during the day. It is hard to see the buildings at night. The waffle was delicious.

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.

We took this tour at the beginning of our trip and enjoyed cruising up and down the river. It was very relaxing and helped us see all the landmarks we wanted to visit in relation to each other. We sat at the upper level of the boat and just enjoyed the view.

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.

Overall enjoyed the dinner cruise. Food was delicious and nice to travel down the Seine seeing the sights. Waitstaff we’re very friendly and kind. Only issue was when asking a pair of men at the entry to the boat if we were in the correct spot, they were extremely rude- as there are 4-5 boats at the dock none of which have signs or indicate where you go etc.

You meet a little off the beaten track (5 min.) from the Eiffel Tower and is then led up to the Eiffel Tower. This worked out very well without queuing. Above, our guide even told a little about the Eiffel Tower. We didn't expect that at all. You can get down independently on foot or by elevator and when you want.

A trip to the Arc de Triomphe and a boat trip on the Seine are a must when visiting Paris for the first time. It was a good experience - and great that there wasn't a specific time the ticket for the sailing trip had to be used - so there was no stress on getting it all done.

We sat on the side of the boat on the lower deck as the top was full. Would suggest being there early to get a seat upstairs. It was still a great view, the guide spoke 3 different languages and there was an audiobook guide available via mobile as well. Perfect departure location to visit the Eiffel Tower before/after the ride! Highly recommend.

I didn't know what to expect from the food, and being a foodie this was important to me. It was delicious and really unexpected. Fancy yet filling. And the wine flowed like a fountain! Having been to Paris many times, I didn't want a touristy thing to do, and this didn't feel like that. Planning on doing this again!

The river cruise was lovely! We sat on top and it was nice to be present and just look at all of the attractions. The audio is not good at all though! Very cringey! Would change that if I could do we ended up not listening to it. You can chose to - it has various languages and if you bring AirPods or any headphones, it’s easy to connect to! But yes, wouldn’t listen if I were you. They play French music which is nice and it was good just to be there. I would do it again

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.

We really enjoyed the cruise on the Seine. The meal was lovely and there was a great atmosphere with the music playing in the background. The only thing that was missing was a guide to announce the different landmarks we went through, it would have made it perfect.
