Batobus París

Early October break.Beautiful way to see the city with this hop on hop off boat tour which stops at all Major attractions. We had the day pass but were only getting off at one stop to see friends before returning to boat. I would suggest two day pass it you intend to get off at more than 3-4 or stop to see the attractions and area,Just too much to see in one day. Had snacks onboard with vending machine but didn't work for us. We got on at 10 and returned at 18.30 to the Eiffel tower. Our daughters birthday gift and I think this was the highlight of her stay.

A scenic tour along Siene River of Paris. Prepare your cameras and make sure your batteries are fully charged. Capturing the memories and mesmerising building structures are the shots you would remember and make you say ... I've been there. As you enter the cruising ship. Go up and turn right to get into the front side for a perfect view. Tickets are required.

Batobus is a good way to travel between main Paris sites. Not quickest way but sometimes quieter (although still busy when we went), than the metro or walking. Although we went in October streets very busy. Best boat trip is to get one of the evening tourist trips (book), and aim to pass by the Eiffel Tower on the hour. When it is dark it has additional sparkly lights that last five minutes. We missed them! Still impressive with its ‘normal’ lights

Very easy way to ride on the Seine and hop on and off along the way. I got on at the Eiffel Tower and rode down to Notre Dame. It took about 40 minutes as there were a few stops along the way. I purchased my ticket at the booth and it was good for 24 hours.

Good option if you use it over 2 days for 1 ticket Decided on our last day in Paris on Tuesday, 22nd July 2025, to travel to the Eiffel Tower and take a River Cruise on the Batobus boat. Having checked out the river cruise options, we decided to select the Hop on/Hop Off Batobus as we wanted to use the service to visit a couple of locations on the route, but in truth, you could do this more easily and cost-effectively via the Metro. As it was, we went to the Batobus ticket booth and purchased 2 tickets at 23 Euro each. There was no map provided or available, as the member of staff said to take a photo of the map poster, and I had to pay using a card as the cashier had no change available. Once we started queuing, we were informed it would be a 45-minute wait as a boat had broken down. This is a negative aspect of this type of service, as in truth, there is no motivation to provide a regular service, as once you purchase your ticket, you have to accept what is on offer, unlike a normal Seine cruise, where you would select the one leaving sooner. As it was, once the boat arrived, most passengers exited at this stop. Once on the boat, as listed, there is no commentary (this is like the Uber Boats on the Thames tbh, but unlike them, there are no toilets or refreshments on board). We exited at the Notre Dame stop and then re-joined at the same stop (Most passengers seem to enter and exit at either the Eiffel Tower or Notre Dame). Option to sit or stand inside or stand in an open area at the boat's rear end. The ticket lasts 24 hours, so I suggest you purchase it at say 1700 so you can enjoy a night-time cruise and see the city at night, and then you will have all day till 1700 the following day to do the same for all or part of the cruise during the daytime.

Really best way how to go through every interesting place in Paris. It's nice traveling by boat with simple stations and basic water and food in boat "coca cola machine" and goes through interesting places by default - it's 2 hours of time only on boat! It's a lot of stops, but you can choose only some of them of course and just left the boat on next one or even it is possible to (almost on every stop) go across the river by bridge and thanks to it you can make the journey significantly shorter (can go from the second stop to stop before last)

Great service… really easy if you pre-book your tickets, never too busy, scan your tickets as you get on, friendly staff, hop on/off as you like, usually a boat every 15-20 minutes which works out well when your sight seeing. 👍

Such a lovely way to explore the sights of Paris. The boats are covered and warm - so the perfect way to travel, if the weather is miserable. All the stops were well located and easy to find, the boats run every 20 minutes, making it easy to coordinate.
