Disappointing.

No one warned us that boats do not sail raw cause. An incompetent security guard sent us to pay. We are not from Paris at all. Frankly, I hope these employers will see the comment and change it immediately. And he was taking a selfie. Our seats are lost

It was awful, it is not worth it. Book elsewhere , do not take this cruise. It was very much a waste of time

Great value, but they could have stayed at the Eiffel Tower longer…

Booked as a last minute boat trip as our previous one was cancelled, gosh was it busy! Staff at ticket check and at the counter to collect our mini bottle of champagne were lovely, very helpful and we had a laugh with the guy we collected the champagne from (sorry we didn’t catch your name). Unfortunately the rain started just prior to the boat leaving so everyone huddled inside, we decided to head outside and stand under a bit of the roof as the rain slowed, so we were ok. Toilets were clean enough, warm with plenty paper. The tour itself went quite far down the river and then turned just past the Notre Dame and went back all the way down to the Eiffel Tower - the disappointing factor was that it headed back less than 5 minutes before the sparkle started on the tower so we missed some amazing views and photo / video opportunities.

Bon Voyage

A beautiful way to see Paris on the Seine. Narration for the highlights and history of the area in various languages. A very nice experience.

Terrible audio guide

Chose this tour to see and learn about some of the sites in Paris. The issue is that as you are travelling along the Siene - the audio tells you about buildings or monuments but doesn’t tell you whether it’s in your left or right side so you don’t know where to look, apart from obvious structures like notre dame etc - all the buildings look the same so the audio is not helpful. Very frustrating. We did notice part way through that they used nautical terms ( starboard / port) - I’m not a sailer so that meant nothing to me.

Poor cost benefit

Mood and proposal good, but poor quality services with care of rough waiters. Menu with bad options, only the main dish that was OK, but by the price has much better places. I would not go again and would not even indicate!

Poorly managed mess

We bought a ticket not knowing that we would not be guaranteed a place on one of the boats or even priority in the line. The lines were incredibly long, and the staff were rude. We arrived hoping to catch the sunset on the boat and ended up not even being able to get on one at all. A complete waste of money and a terrible experience.

Awful

Never got on the boat. Security directed us to stand in a line that spanned from the boat to the access area from the street. Loads of tour buses dropping off people that stood on same line. Very disappointed !!!

Easy cruising with champagne

It was a nice easy cruise and the audio commentary was in multiple languages as you pass by the different landmarks. We purchased the champagne for two option. It was lovely.
