We had a wonderful time on the Paris cruise! We booked the 10:15 PM slot, which turned out to be perfect timing — we passed by the Eiffel Tower right as it started sparkling at 11 PM. It was absolutely magical. We were served a glass of champagne, which added a special touch to the experience and made us feel really good. There was no tour guide, which I actually saw as a positive — it allowed us to enjoy the peaceful background music and fully take in the views. If you're curious about any of the buildings, you can always look them up online.
I highly recommend this experience!

Guide was so informative and funny, great pace and wonderful sights, helped us navigate the city and get comfortable w public transit

Lovely sunset cruise that timed the Eiffel Tower sparkling at dusk and up and down the Seine showing different historical buildings.

The river cruise was enjoyable and a lovely way to see Paris from the water. I arrived a little late, so unfortunately I didn’t get the best seat for taking photos, videos or selfies. Definitely arrive early if getting a good seat and capturing the views is important to you! Overall, a nice experience and one I’d probably enjoy even more next time with an earlier arrival.

Such a beautiful experience! Had a blast with my kids 12 and 14 and husband. All of us loved it. The night cruise with the music, the scenery, commentary and the glass of champagne all made for a wonderful experience. Our boat was quasi full but not packed like another companies that we saw. Individual seats but also plenty of room to move around and easy to see everything without feeling crowded. Also said it was an hour and it was a bit longer which was a nice perk. We did the 9:15pm in August and it was perfect to see the full sparkle of the Eiffel Tower. Loved this!
Rachael_W, Aug 2026
Well worth the money! Take the cruise so you can see the 10:00 sparkle. It was magical. The guide was funny and the tour was a great way to end the day.
Natasha_M, Aug 2026
First off they gave us the address for the office location.. we went there and almost didn’t make it to the boat tour. We didn’t get to see the Effie tower light up and it was much shorter than exceeded.
Michelle_W, Aug 2026
It was a perfect night. Only suggestion would be to have the complimentary champagne ready to hand out as we board the boat. It was a very long line to get our drinks and missed a few scenes while having to wait for drinks. Amazing view of the Eiffel Tower. Loved getting so many photo opportunities too.
Zahava_S, Aug 2026
Esther was an amazing tour guide. She was loaded with historic information about the.Le Marais area. I especially enjoyed listening to the history of the Jewish quarter. The food establishments that she brought us to were flavorful and delicious. We had French onion soup, macaroons, cheese, wine and so much more… this area is quite charming and should not be missed!
Cowander_G, Aug 2026
The boat was clean, it left on time, I felt safe the entire ride and atmosphere/ staff was pleasant.
Roisin_D, Aug 2026
This is not a guided tour. It would have been nice to know a little bit about the buildings we were passing. Perfectly timed to be at the Eiffel Tower for the sparkle at 10am
Kelly_C, Aug 2026
Very relaxing evening activity. If you go at 9:15pm you’ll see the Eiffel Tower sparkle. Includes one free drink-champagne, wine, beer or non-alcoholic beverage.
Sandy_S, Aug 2026
Followed the sign for the 9:15 departure, waited in line, attempted to board and weee told it was the wrong boat. We could not find another boat because in this time the assigned boat had left early so we were told. Attempts to contact the tour operator to rescheduled were ignored and refund request was denied. This is a scam. Avoid this tour and this location. Schedule at Pont d’ Alma for a boat you can find.
Evelyn_G, Aug 2026
Arrive early to get a good seat, but overall great experience! Went early September, weather was great, everyone was very friendly and the music was fire!🔥
BryanAlava, Aug 2026
It was a beautiful tour. We were able to see such amazing scenery on the boat. It’s a great way to get to know the city.
Nancy_M, Aug 2026
Appreciated the air conditioning on the lower level. Nice staff and nice tour of the city from the water.
lynrichashworth, Aug 2026
Arrive in advance to ensure outside seats! Great atmosphere and timing meant photographs could be taken with the sunset behind the important landmarks, Surprise at the Eiffel Tower was spectacular!
Linda_B, Aug 2026
We did not make the trip. This company was no where to be found. They took my money and I had no cruise
Nicole_S, Aug 2026
The Sunset Champagne Cruise is a great way to spend your first evening in Paris. Like many other travelers have mentioned, get in line early to ensure you get a seat on the top deck. There are not chairs for all tickets. If you are unable to get a seat up top, you are still able to stand in the back at the top too.
Jeanine_U, Aug 2026
Booking summit access with skip-the-line entry for the 5:30pm slot was one of the best decisions of our trip! We got to watch the sky shift as the sun started setting, and the views from the top were absolutely breathtaking.
Our guide, Francois, was fantastic — clearly knowledgeable about the Eiffel Tower’s history, and he pointed out all the key landmarks visible from the summit, making sure we didn’t miss the best photo spots. Highly recommend this experience for anyone wanting a more in-depth, memorable visit to the tower!
Steve_H, Aug 2026
I thought it was excellent. Just a nice place to be on a warm evening. Timing was absolutely perfect for the Eiffel Tower lights up and sparkle at 10pm. Thank you for making this a special evening.
Laura_M, Aug 2026
Very disorganized, about 40 minutes late, missed the sunset entirely, no one cared to explain what was going on or what the problem was. Once we got on the boat the bartender came on the speaker to let us know he was not out tour guide but we were going to go past Norte Dame. The only other time anyone said anything was when we approached the Eiffle Tower, that didn't need to be ppinted out. I would have loved to know what we were passing, such as the Louvre Museum and other landmarks. We waited over an hour in line to just be shoved on the boat and ran a loop around and then dumped back off. There are many other companies to choose from and I would suggest trying one of them. If sunset is not important, or leaving close to your scheduled time, or learning anything about the landmarks then gamble on this cruise.
DENISE_C, Aug 2026
Get in line 1/2 hour before to be on upper deck. Tables and chairs available Sparkle at 10 pm was perfect!!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Bonjour,
Merci beaucoup pour votre retour ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié la croisière et que vous ayez pu profiter des tables et des chaises sur le pont supérieur. Le passage devant la Tour Eiffel au moment de son scintillement à 22 h est effectivement un moment particulièrement magique !
Votre conseil d’arriver environ 30 minutes à l’avance pour avoir une place sur le pont supérieur sera également très utile aux futurs voyageurs.
Chez France Tourisme, nous aimons offrir à nos visiteurs des moments simples, chaleureux et inoubliables au cœur de Paris. Pour prolonger cette découverte, nous serions ravis de vous accueillir pour une croisière au coucher du soleil avec Champagne ou pour une visite guidée du musée d’Orsay.
Cordialement,
Alice de France Tourisme

Our time slot got cancelled so they told us to come back for a later cruise. We were cut off from being able to go on the cruise and had waited for the new time provided. This had us miss opportunity to do other sight seeing and move on with our evening AND we didn’t get a cruise
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Bonjour,
We are truly sorry to hear about this disappointing experience. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to have your original time slot cancelled, wait for the later departure you were given, and ultimately not be able to enjoy the cruise at all. We especially regret the impact this had on the rest of your evening and the sightseeing plans you had organized.
This is certainly not the experience we want our guests to have. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and for the time you lost as a result of this situation. We would be happy for you to contact us at [info@francetourisme.fr](mailto:info@francetourisme.fr) so that we can look into what happened and see how we may assist you.
We hope we will have the opportunity to restore your confidence in France Tourisme and offer you the enjoyable Parisian experience you originally expected. A sunset Champagne cruise or a guided visit of the Louvre could be wonderful options for a future visit.
Cordialement,
Alice de France Tourisme

Book this cruise NOW! Make sure to book so that you'll be going by the Eiffel Tower at 10pm (when the first glittering light show begins). Our cruise was timed perfectly and we got some AMAZING pictures! The music was fun and upbeat (think Mamma Mia vibes) which made for a lively and fun time. We were traveling with teens and they loved it!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Bonjour,
Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We are thrilled to hear that you and your teens had such a fun and memorable time on board. It sounds like the timing was perfect for catching the Eiffel Tower sparkling at 10 PM, and we are delighted that you were able to capture some amazing pictures!
We are also happy that you enjoyed the lively music and that it helped create such a cheerful atmosphere for the whole family. Knowing that our younger travelers loved the experience is especially rewarding for us!

The boat takes off exactly on time, so arrive 15-20 minutes early. There was a line and limited seats on the open air top floor deck. Many had to stand or stay inside (downstairs). We were lucky we got chairs.
The cruise itself was fun- the sun had just set, and it was a great glimpse of all the activity happening on the banks of the Seine, plus a wonderful view of the monuments and architecture in a relaxed manner.

We did the 9:15 PM cruise. I would recommend arriving early to secure a seat. We stood on the top deck and took in all the beautiful sites. The cruise was perfectly timed to sail by the Eiffel Tower at 10 PM, right woot began to sparkle, adding to a most magical experience.

Was pleasantly surprised to have a live guide on the cruise. Paul was fabulous, sharing lots of interesting facts about the sights along the Seine River, in both French and English. Cruise comes with complimentary champagne or bottled soft drink. There is also an app for the cruise which provides pre-recorded narrator comments, along with written transcripts for additional sites. Would highly recommend this cruise at sunset.
