Good option to do the tour on Seine River. They deliver what they offer. I recommend you to book online in advance (did it in the same day) to get the cruise tour at night. If you want to se the Eiffel Tower illuminated, I recommend you get one that leaves at 21:20. You cannot decide exactly the hour you depart, you have to estimate according to the line.

Great experience. Our server was good and very attentive. The entertainment (singer) was excellent - amazing voice and sang popular hits. The food was average and plenty to drink. The views around the river were beautiful. We arrived back at the dock just in time when the lights were turned on at the Effiel Tower, and we're flashing. Was a beautiful sight. Would definitely recommend the experience

The evening dinner was engaging, personable, up close and the scenic landscape was in-your-face. We took some good pictures. Enjoyed each others company. And tried to eat all the food. Whomever said they serve small portion in Paris didn't lie, they just didn't add they just keep coming. Happy stomach for sure. we rode the train back to our hotel and slept wonderfully.

Multiple varieties of cuisine in the dinner. We were enjoying every Europe culture designs. We were looking Eiffel Tower from cruise. It was very nice and happiest. River located at among Paris city. It has clear water and prestigious bridges. It was significantly of displaying history. Pop singer was singing songs. It was creating fun.people were enjoying . they can be came from multiple countries. We spend valuable time for known historical and cultural of France.

Long queue to go into the ferry. We were able to take the 830pm boat and the scenery was sunset among all Paris iconic buildings. It was beautiful. The ferry will be filled with crowds. But that should not stop you from enjoying yourself.

Excellent evening to visit Paris, we were looked after by the organisers of the Paris World games on our first night there. We recommend this to everyone. I wish the Brits could learn from the French and magnify the River Thames. Beautiful evening, and a wonderful experience. Please go on the River Seine cruise you will 💯 enjoy it!

The whole evening from start to finish was absolutely fantastic, the staff are so friendly and informative, and the atmosphere on the cruise is so romantic with amazing views of the Eiffel Tower after the sun goes down . We opted for the privilege package which came with a glass of champagne and nibbles on arrival, two bottle of white wine, a bottle of red and a three course meal. The meal itself was delicious and offered ample choice over the three courses but unfortunately the main didn’t come with any accompaniments. I also asked for the steak without tarragon sauce which was lost somewhere in translation and arrived covered in sauce. Despite not being a fan of tarragon the sauce was actually nice and I’m sure if I had of asked they would have obliged and swapped it, but the wine was already flowing and the staff were very busy so we chose to not cause any issues. Honestly, despite the previously mentioned the meal was fantastic and I can’t praise this organisation high enough, after an amazing experience and one too many glasses of wine I completely forgot to pick up my sunglasses at the end of the evening. I returned the following day to find they had been placed at reception for collection, thanks for a wonderful experience, we will definitely do it again on our return.

It was quick and easy to purchase tickets and get onboard. The price was also reasonable at €19 for an adult, €9 child & free for under 4’s. The journey took about an hour and was accompanied by an audio tour of the sights as we passed them. We sat on the top deck and although it was 30 degrees there was still a breeze- though hats are needed. There was a restaurant on the bank, which we didn’t try but looked good! All staff that we met were lovely too! Great service and worth the time.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Bateaux Parisiens lunch cruise, and it was nothing short of magical. If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable way to see Paris, this is it! From the moment we boarded, the staff made us feel warmly welcomed and well taken care of. The boat itself is sleek, modern, and designed with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer stunning panoramic views of the Seine and Paris landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, and the Louvre. The meal was exquisite--perfectly French and perfectly executed. The multi-course menu included beautifully plated dishes that tasted as good as they looked, with an excellent wine selection to complement the flavors. Paid for the premium table at the front of the boat. Well worth the price! The pace of the cruise was ideal--slow enough to soak in the scenery but steady enough to cover many iconic sights. It's a relaxing and luxurious way to enjoy Paris without the hustle and crowds of typical sightseeing. I can't recommend this enough for couples, families, or even solo travelers looking to add a touch of elegance to their trip. Bateaux Parisiens delivered an unforgettable experience worth every euro. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Paris! The service was excellent!

High recommend having this boat ride especially for first time visitor in Paris! It's a one hour ride that takes you round-trip. We bought the ticket same day online. Unlimited some other companies, it did not require a specific time which gave us more flexibility. We went in November and it was cold. We sat on the upper deck to take many beautiful photos of the monuments along the ride. Lower deck certainly was warmer with good heating system. There were toilets on the lower deck. One hour flew by and we had a great time!

Read in full for what I experienced as an Asian patron during check in. We attended a dinner time cruise. The cost was 370 euros, not including tip. We were seated right by the window. They do have other options for cheaper in the center of the room, away from the window. The views were spectacular. The service was fine. Our server had a large section and she was attentive and friendly. The food however was very subpar. Their dinner selection is very bland and cheap- this is clearly an overpriced experience. However my favorite part of the trip is the music and singer, paired with the nighttime views of Paris from the water. Ultimately I recommend going elsewhere for much cheaper because it's the same view, or getting a seat in the center of the boat. Do not attend if food is a major factor in your decision. The following is the main reason I gave a one star instead of three star. At check in, there are three lines. The lady who we dealt with has blonde hair past her shoulders. We stood in her line, which is line 3. We were next, and she called another couple from line 1 to get in front of us. Once she was almost finished with that couple, we thought we were next. Wrong. She then told us to get in line 1 or 2. At that point, I thought she was sending us to one of those lines because she was going on break or wasn't taking customers. She then remained at her place. We moved over to line 1 without issue but we were thoroughly confused about what was going on. I was adamant nothing was going to ruin our dinner experience for our last night of our honeymoon, so we said nothing. Then, someone new walked in, and since line 3 was empty (keeping in mind all three lines were fairly short- only 2-3 parties in them), they went to her and she helped them. At that point, my husband got fed up and went to line 3 and once she was done helping the new people, he confronted her. We could not help but feel targeted. My husband is not Asian, and I am Asian. I have heard bad stories about some people in Paris being racist to Asian tourists, but I choose to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. He told her that what occurred was inappropriate. She looked surprised. The only response she could give was that one of the customers had issues and she was helping them. She couldn't explain anything else. She then gave us a 30 euro discount. Super weird. We didn't ask for it and did not ask for anything other than to be treated like how other guests were treated. We accepted the discount because in my mind, I wasn't going to argue with this establishment to take extra money from me, under these circumstances.

I had to do lunch cruise. We booked the premium one to sit in front. The service was excellent (I believe our server was Sebastian, a really nice guy) Our meal was good. Champagne, white wine and red wine. It was relaxing. I remember having the chicken pate starter, a stew beef type entree and a delicious chocolate and vanilla ice cream cake. The only thing I wish was if they had some audio telling us which famous sites we were passing.

I've taken the open air cruise on the Seine before. That's a good one during warmer months and even better with a glass of Champagne. This Lunch Cruise is definitely a few levels above. First, get here on time and early. They did leave on time at 12:45. Our Boarding was seamless as we paid extra (worth it) to board a 1/2 hour earlier-they have Servers waiting at the entrance that escort guests to their table. We had a window table which was perfect. Three course meal with a good variety of options. We started with a glass of Champagne-yes! I went with the Asparagus Soup for Starter. Not quite what I was expecting-more like Asparagus/Leeks surrounded by paste and it was chilled-it was ok. The Heirloom Tomatoes with Burrata was also ordered and that was a hit. We both went for the Gilthead Sea Bream Filet and it was tender and cooked perfectly. A bottle of Red and White wine were poured throughout the Courses. (Wine inclusive package is worth it) For dessert, it was Concerto Cake which was delicious-Chocolate Lover's delight. The Blueberry Pavlova-crisp crust and soft/light inside. A first tasting this one and it was delicious. Weather (mid April) was unseasonably cold and we got on/off rain and strong winds. So definitely nice that we could go in/out for the views and nice the Boat has glass all around-and you do get some of the best views from the Seine. Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame to name a few. Our server was friendly and attentive but somehow started to fade closer to the end of the Cruise. We had to ask for Coffee after watching other tables get served.-should have come with Dessert. They have a photographer that takes a few shots and we ended up buying one of them. Cruise took about 2 hours. A great way to kickoff our stay in Paris!

Bateaux Parisiens Seine Dinner Cruise was a great experience! I know, a very touristy thing to do, but I absolutely loved it. I did it with a group of girlfriends during my birthday trip to Paris and it was such a nice romantic evening filled with wine, views, food, and music. Boarding was pretty simple but you had to make sure you were at the right boat. Once we were in, we were seated and every seat seemed to have a great view since the tour takes you around the Seine. We had a coursed out meal that we were able to choose from a pre-fixe menu and what seemed to be unlimited wine. It just kept coming and we weren't complaining! The singer for the night was absolutely phenomenal and really added to the ambiance of the evening. This night was probably one of my most favorite memories from the whole trip and I'll never forget eating and drinking as we passed the Eiffel tower view.

This boat ride offers some amazing views of Paris. If the water levels are high and cold during the winter months, they will close down the upper deck. In which case your views will be obstructed by the window panes, especially at night. Luckily you can head outside on the rails and catch the views there.

Booked the Seine River Cruise a week prior via GetYourGuide.com. They have free cancellation 24 hours prior to your sail date. The voucher recommends to arrive 15 minutes before the time you want since you can't book a specific time slot. We wanted to go after dark so we could see all the lights. Unfortunately, it doesn't get dark in Paris in August until after 9. So we arrived just before 9 to try to get in for the 9:30 in hopes of getting a good seat. The line looked so long that we were worried we wouldn't be able to get on until 10. They were still loading the 9 pm people at that time. Luckily, the boat is huge (capacity of 600) and we still had our pick of seats for 9:30. The cruise is an hour long and it cruises down the river and loops back around. The view isn't great from the boat because you don't get a full view of everything, just because of the angling. While I probably wouldn't pick this particular cruise again, it was still worth the one time experience, especially for the price.

This is a must-do for tourists visiting Paris! It contains all the things you could want out of a trip: great food, polite staff, and of course, amazing views as you travel Paris on a cruise filled with joy and entertainment. I reserved a spot with my date, and it was lovely from start to finish. I got a tad nervous at first when we were seated beside another couple, with our proximity a little too close for my liking, but I forgave it as the trip began and I was quickly consumed by the pleasant ambiance of the cruise. Before we ordered our food, a photographer greeted us and took our photos. The copies were given to us by the end of the dinner, and we didn't NEED to buy any, but that's where they get you! After feasting on delicious food and drinks, you're so hyped up on excitement (and romance- in my case) that you think, "How could you NOT bring these pictures home?" So, be prepared to spend a little more money on some photographs, because they really do encapsulate the pure joy one could have when visiting this popular attraction. The photo quality is also incredible; it's honestly one of the best photos of myself that I've seen in my life! Once our pictures were done being taken, that was when we gave the waiter our order. Make sure that you know what option you want for every course, because they will be requesting for each one to refrain from walking back and forth so often. I couldn't get enough of their dishes. Every single one I tried was delectable. There was not one that fell short, but if I had to pick a stand out, I'd say the french duck foie gras really took me by surprise with how creamy and tantalizing it was for what appeared to just be a piece of bread and some cream. The thin-crusted snail tart was also yummy, and for that being my first taste of snail, it had me hooked fast! While you're cruising, there is constant music playing that could be overbearing at times, but it didn't ruin the positive vibes I felt. There was a man serenading the guests with English songs too; sometimes I'd catch him singing directly to guests that were seated in the center. Guess that made up for them not being able to sit near the window. My favorite part of the trip, aside from the food, was when we went by a replica of the Statue of Liberty and they played Frank Sinatra's, "New York, New York." It had me a little teary eyed, knowing all the effort I put into making this night happen finally followed through perfectly. I can be pretty emotional from small things, so I don't expect anyone else to be overcome by this, but it does go to show how Bateaux Parisians invested all their time in ensuring their guests had the most magical night in Paris. I'm typically a solo traveller, but this is not a place to go by yourself. If you want to attend this cruise, I highly suggest bringing a loved one with you because it would prove to be a much more meaningful adventure. I relive this trip over and over again, it's one of the biggest highlights of my year, and I hope with my experience you'll be motivated to one day see the beauty that I witnessed that night on Bateaux Parisians.

Went on this dinner evening cruise to celebrate a special friend's special birthday. Paid extra to sit in the front of the boat and next to a window, and it was worth it! Views were remarkable. Music and the singer were both great. It is indeed a touristy thing to do, but fun nonetheless. Food was wonderful (limited selections as you might imagine and not out of this world, but a low orbit), and dinner came with 2 very good bottles of wine - one red and one white. If you want more, then that is extra. The traffic in Paris was/is horrendous that time of the day, and we had to abandon our Uber on the other side of the Seine and run to get to the boat on time. They do leave the dock promptly so allow yourself extra time. The welcome champagne was just what we needed to get started.

I went on the Bateaux Parisians for lunchtime, and it was fabulous! The boat is absolutely gorgeous! The boat is all-around glass so even though it was cloudy, there was still great light for pictures. On the boat, you get a 3-course meal served with 3 different types of wine. For an entree, I had the chicken pate which was a 6/10 for me. As for the main, I had salmon with black rice which was very good. I rate it an 8/10. For dessert, I had the vanilla iced dessert which was also good. I give it an 8/10 as well. The service was very good, but the views are amazing from the boat! You see all the touristy areas of Paris. I think it's a great experience for tourists to see the famous monuments and museums on a boat.

The boat tour was a peaceful way to both rest after a long day of walking as well as see a different angle on many of the sights around the city. We went on a cold, offseason day and the boat was not full which really increased our enjoyment. I've seen these boats absolutely jam packed full of people during busier times which I think would hamper the experience a lot - for me at least, some people don't mind obviously.

This is known as the best dinner cruise in Paris. The views, and ambiance were beautiful. We paid extra for a window table. However i don't feel the price tag justifies the hefty price tag. It was about 716 euros for 4 adults. I am all for paying for an experience, however the menu should include more options. The service was amazing. They gave us so much wine, i wish i could have taken it home. The cruise should also be a be longer since it was over very quickly. You see the Eiffel tower right when you edit. It is a very busy area.

We chose this river cruise (we went in late April ) to get a new introduction to Paris with a fresh perspective. We didn't want to try a bus tour because we had already seen many sites years ago. I'd like to say at the outset that we were most pleasantly surprised not so much by the tour, but by the exquisite multicourse meal that was served with great care. As the great sites of Paris were floating by, the déjeuner was the main attraction. There was no narration to point out the sites of Paris, but in retrospect that would've been an intrusion. Our server was very welcoming and eager to please. We were given a choice of wines, a cheese plate, and an intriguing choice of first and main courses. We will let our photos speak for themselves: every course was excellent and artfully presented. Unfortunately, we forgot to take pictures of the exquisite desserts!

Spectacular service and great ambiance. To come to conclusion like this, you have to experience Bateaux in New York as well. Both dinner cruises of course different scenery, great dinner choices. Bateaux New York, space is more tight, smaller tables, rushed service, but scene is just fantastic. Bateaux Paris, big round tables, lots of space, pleasant and prompt service, of course live music and history all around you. I want to say special thanks to the Manager Mohammed, made our dinner spectacular! He also made sure went every single table taken care of. Also, explained all of the landmarks of the city. I will definitely come back. Thank you!

This is a river cruise for tourists, and I don't think there is much more than a staff pointing out sights along the river. But taking a river cruise in Paris once again after 20 years, I was still amazed by the scenery even though it was showering almost all the way. A tip would be to bring an umbrella just in case it rains.

I had the experience of the Bateaux dinner cruise in New York, where I live. It costs a pretty penny, but it was worth it. As I was looking for something to do because my elevated tour at Eiffel Tower was cancelled, I remembered I bookmarked this place, and figured why not? I made the short walk over and got my tickets-- luckily for me, the boat was leaving shortly thereafter. It was a cold and rainy day so while the boat had many people on it seating was difficulty because some of the seats up top were wet. We had a live person who was doing narrating, which I appreciated because they spoke three languages (French, Spanish and English) many places I have visited while here did not offer the same courtesy. Many of the sites we saw I already seen over my five 5 days in Paris, but it was cool to see from the Seine River. I would recommend this but make sure the weather is cooperative and it's a little warmer!

There were 8 people traveling in Europe with a reservation at Bateaux Parisiens for a river cruise. We all became very ill (fever, chills and chest cold) so we called to explain our situation. We had hoped that they would consider some type of refund (not total) in lieu of us showing up sick. The manager actually told me they don't care about illness and that we needed to attend as no refunds would be offered. We chose not to go and infect anyone else but I cannot recommend a tour that wants sick customers to go anyway!

Having booked a dinner and cruise excursion we were told to meet for dinner first then the river cruise would follow. The instructions on where to meet were not quite exact and we had to ask several people where to meet before someone gave us the correct answer...the restaurant we were to meet at is on the boat not on the docks. When we went to check in, the host was a little lost and took a while before he was able to confirm our reservation even though we showed him the pre-paid tickets we had purchased. Our waiter was friendly enough but had to work a large room by himself so the time to order and receive our food was unnecessarily long. We the reservation you get to choose from a 3 course meal. I ordered the chilled courgetti soup, dorado fish and depeche mode for me 3 courses. The soup was ok but lacked any real flavor. The dorado was cooked well but was under seasoned as was the couscous side. Some lemon and salt would have have elevated the dish. The desert was good. Overall, at $70 per person, I might suggest having dinner elsewhere and booking the River cruise separately but if you want the whole experience then go for it.

My husband planned this part of our Paris adventure and he choose well! I was expecting more of a tour, with someone saying "and if you look out the left side, you'll see Notre Dame" and while that wasn't the case, they provided a map of sights so you could follow along with the tour while enjoying marvelous food. I've not eaten food much like that before and it was so fun to share back and forth with my husband. The bread kept coming and was just delightful. We had a wonderful time! It was a great first day to start our adventure in Paris.

I would highly recommend this experience! The food service did feel a touch rushed, but I'm sure it was in part because the boat ride and views were so nice. We purchased the front of boat seats to guarantee a uninhibited view. Our glassed stayed full with the unlimited wine included with our tickets.

Booked a tour for the Louvre and the Seine River cruise and was informed to look for Bateaux. The cruise was for about an hour! We were able to download audio that gave details/ facts about some sights that we passed. We sat out in the open on the top deck. Was able to get some cute pictures with the Eiffel Tower in the background.

mediocre food (the haddock was bland and duck breast was u remarkable with cheap mashed potato). the music was okay but amplified it sounded like the radio, and liter put my wife to sleep. wish we had done something else our last night in Paris. I recommend doing a cruise but eating in a nice restaurant like Tren Bleu.

We just went on the Seine River sightseeing cruise (no food), which was included in the Big Bus package for Paris. The river cruise was my favorite way to see Paris. Great opportunities for pictures (with Eiffel Tower in background, for example) with needing to walk so much. Being able to move between the warmer indoor lower level, the fresh-air upper level, and the outdoor sides of the lower level (for pictures) was great. There was an individual audio guide (hooked to your seat) or you can use mobile phone, which was interesting to listen to. Wife planned it very well so that right after our Eiffell Tower tour in the early afternoon, we walked to the river terminal across the street and got on the boat.

Well I thought it might be a tourist trap however, we meant so our tourists and had a great time. The wine kept coming and coming . The food was actually not to bad. It was really pretty seeing the sight's from a boat. Paris is a beautiful city at night. We both were glad we did this on our 50th Anniversary tour.

Yelp
My review is for the one hour sightseeing cruise with audio commentary. It was ok, but most of the audio commentary headsets did not work, and the commentary through your phone wasn't much better. Eventually one of the crew announced a few of the sites manually, but it was inadequate. Get a better cruise.

Great way to end our week in Paris. We saw the landmarks from a different perspective and angle from the river. We had window seats so the views were good. The food was delicious from beginning to end. And have I mentioned the unlimited wine! Highly recommend and you get your values worth.

An absolute must in Paris. We were on the 8:30 dinner cruise. Cannot compliment the staff, food and entertainment enough for a truly special 2 hour plus tour. Anyone that gives the dinner cruise less than 5 stars just likes to complain.

What a great way to start our visit to Paris!!! A dinner cruise along the Seine River!!! Wow! And at Sunset??? We loved this.... The tables are a bit close, although the wait staff is pretty attentive and the food is good. The wine was nice as well. The real attraction are the amazing history along the way! The Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides, L'Assemblee National, Le Musee d'Orsay, L'institut de France, La Cathédrale Notre-Dame, La Bibliothèque Nationale, L'Hotel de Ville, La conciergerie, Le Louvre, Le Palais de Caillot, and a miniature statue of Liberty... The live music on the boat was so festive and there was even an area outside for viewing.... Also, having an on board photographer was great!. We would recommend this tour!

A must do in Paris! You HAVE to splurge and pay for the window seats. If you sit in the interior you don't get to see nearly as much! The singer on board really elevated the experience. We had good wine and champagne but I have to say the food was pretty mediocre. In my opinion, you're not paying for good food. You're paying for the overall experience and we're so happy we did this!

This review is for the lunch boat cruise which we absolutely loved. Tina helped us book the day prior and then also checked us in day of. She was amazing as she answered all of our questions and was extremely helpful. Food and wine were both great... drinking wine, eating French food and floating through Paris... what's not to love. Highly recommend a table by the window. Thanks again Tina for all of your help!

Breathtaking view and kind staff made the Eiffel Tower boat ride even more lovely. The service is efficient and the food presentation is impeccable. I got to try new dishes like snail and duck, and it was amazing! The boat is clean and nothing beats the view.

We took a one hour cruise without food, just sightseeing. It was very nice but they pack people in like sardines and I had to sit on a step next to my wife in a seat. It was a pretty day with good weather so you really can't complain about seeing Paris from the water. One hour was sufficient time to see the main sights.

A memorable boat cruise on the Seine capped with a delightful dinner on the river while docked in front of the Tore Eiffel. I am glad I booked this river cruise as I truly enjoyed the whole experience, the food was alright, great presentation, if they could work on intensifying the flavors then it will be perfection but the experience itself nevertheless - seeing all of Paris's magnificent buildings and the architecture while cruising the river Seine is something that I will always remember. Again to reiterate, the inclusive 4 course dinner was ok, it's not bad and having the Eifel tower behind you while enjoying a glass of French wine truly for me was enough, it's the perfect night cap to end a long day in the city of lights.

Beware, sailing time is suggested. They make you wait until they have enough customers. Sailed half hour late.

Booked a ticket at 9:00 pm got there at 8:50pm and was told to wait in line. We waited around an 1 hour to board. The boat ride itself was pointless, when we got on it was too dark to see anything, we also didn't get to see the Notre Dame which wasn't disclosed before buying the tickets. The seating arrangement was also very unorganized whoever got on first was able to sit on the outer part of the boat but if not you were stuck inside. I would recommend just walking around instead.

Wow, we absolutely loved our experience! We booked a window table well in advance for our Christmas day luncheon. The dinner cruises were all sold out by the time we booked so plan ahead but in the end we were glad we experienced all the sites during the day time. It was very romantic and special. We found the service and food to be very good, we were nervous based on some of the other reviews. They served more wine than we could finish and they even let us bring one of the opened bottles with us. They had a band performing and they were so good. Yes, this is a touristy experience but I highly recommend everyone doing this at least once. I would book it again for the sunset cruise next time.

As part of our Paris City pass, my partner, his family and I were able to take a scenic boat ride with Bateaux Parisiens docked at Eiffel Tower yesterday. This one hour tour took us down the Seine River past Notre Dame showing us various historic buildings and under bridges. This gave us a layout where most visited places are and how to plan the rest of our visit. Bonne journée à tous.

This is one of my favorite activities as a tourist in Paris. Great way to see the sites without the crowds or tourist feel. The views are amazing and the experience is quite unique. Splurge for a table by the window for the best views. Food is good but not great, service was excellent both times I have done this dinner cruise and you do leave feeling fulfilled. I was not impressed with the bottle of red wine that came with my dinner package but the glasses of white wine and champagne were good. Tips: 1) The taxis when you get off are much higher than if you walk up a bit to the main road and call and uber or taxi. 2) The Eiffel Tower is walking distance so it can make a nice after dinner stroll to go see it after.

We treated a friend to a birthday dinner cruise & it was so much fun! I picked a table by the window & ordered a birthday cake for him which came out at the end with a big sparkler candle on top. Food was good (not the best I've ever had, but can't complain). This is a great thing to do as a gift or a special treat when you have guests in town.

The most fun cruise. Excellent views and great tour guides who spoke in French, English, and Spanish. We just went for a cruise so there was no food, but I totally recommend this. If you can sit on the right side of the boat for the best scenery.

Just pronouncing the name of a tour company takes work and research. And we've seen frustrated road-weary couples and families travel 5000 miles to fuss over a few euros, travel directions and blistered feet. On your second or third day in the city, save your strength, energy and patience to reserve a Seine River lunch tour. The high quality service, food, and views are worth the pampering. You'll purchase it online a day ahead, of course and show your saved e-voucher. The difference in price indicates your window proximity with views and menu accoutrements. The staff throws down a pretty good four course lunch menu for over 300 guests in two hours which is very organized and impressive. This includes ample wine and coffee. Will you get a better meal off the boat for less $/€? Sure, but deal with cigarette smoke and let us know how that was. The really great quality musicians on board and our server was hustling the entire time. You'll get enough attention to leave a tip. You'll get a photographer to take a 15€ photo, but Vive le France!

We did the lunch cruise (2 adults, 1 child). The setting is beautiful! The service was a 4 out of 5 The food was a 3.5 out of 5 ( nothing specifically for children to eat ... same menu) The setting was a 5/5 The experience, overall, was worth it!

What a great time! We did the dinner cruise of the Seine. We booked the front of the boat, premium, with the birthday package. We were a little disappointed with the table we were originally given, we weren't right at the front, but more to the side, and not by the window! We asked to be moved and were moved to a window seat and were pleased with that table. The service was a little slow, we had to keep asking to have our wine refilled (we would have done it ourselves but our bottle was in the same bucket as 2 other tables and we didn't know which was whose). Otherwise, the food was excellent. We had a delish cold asparagus soup Amuse-bouche. They had vegetarian, meat, and fish dishes. We were very happy with our food. There was a live singer who was excellent, and near the end of the evening, she came and sang my husband happy birthday. Overall, it was quite nice and we would gladly do this again

Very lovely, great food and drinks but unfortunately it was freezing in the middle of summer. Asked them to turn down the cold air but to no avail. Be sure to take a heavy coat and a scarf.

Stay away, spent 90 minutes in line to get on the boat to only learn onboard that half the route is cancelled due to high water levels. Take smaller boats with assigned departure times for the same money.

Do this on your first day in Paris! My family and I went on this sightseeing cruise (without dinner) for 1 hour, and enjoyed it. For $17 USD/person you can cruise along the Seine River and see the major highlights like the Eiffel Tower, Musee D'Orsay, and Notre Dame Cathedral. There's also live commentary including several different languages. Because it was so cold the day that we went, the interior of the boat was warm and had an additional audio guide you can access from your phone or next to your seat. I'd recommend that the cruise to our friends, and we just found our own dinner afterwards!
