Very good way to see the buildings by night, especially the sparkling Eiffel Tower. The app is also very good but can be a bit fiddly. Would definitely recommend doing it if you've never done a river cruise before.

Beautiful sunset cruise. Only 1 glass of champagn is complimentary... anything else you have to purchase. We purchased a bottle since it was cheaper than by the glass.

Great experience nice people good price the boat was on time I really love it is a good choice in Paris
Ellen_K, Apr 2026
Very pleasant experience! Loved seeing the lights at night. We especially loved seeing the Eiffel Tower at night!
Monica_T, Apr 2026
Seeing the Eiffel Tower light up at the end of the tour was amazing! Worth going just for that. The description said you’d see Notre Dame but we didn’t go that far down the river. Just be aware it’s mostly about the Eiffel Tower.
Response from Host, Apr 2026

Fun boat ride to see Paris from the water! My partner and I enjoyed the ride. Get there on the earlier side to secure the best seats!

It’s really beautiful but if you’re looking for something romantic this is not it. You go in and are handed your champagne and then hearded to your seats. The actual hour of seeing Paris st night is lovely
Amber_H, Apr 2026
It was amazing!! Get your tickets early and time it for sunset so that you get to see the Eiffel Tower lit up! Seeing the Paris city lights on the river is so calming and romantic. It has been my favorite part of my trip so far!
Connie_W, Apr 2026
Just the right amount of time, 1 hour. Beautiful way to see the Eiffel Tower in lights!
I would suggest French music on the tour rather than what was played…
jjkobel12, Apr 2026
This was so fun! So easy to get to. Get there early to get your drink and good seats before the boat leaves and plan it so you are going by the Eiffel tour in the dark so it sparkles!
Madlynne_S, Apr 2026
I did this same experience a few years ago and was disappointed this time to see that they removed the portion that goes to the Statue or Liberty. I also wish that the champagne version was 21 and over so that young children didn’t disrupt the experience.
Response from Host, Apr 2026

We enjoyed the scenic view of the Eiffel tower all lit up at night. The other things we were meant to see were not quite as cool at night but still give you a neat perspective. Staff were friendly and fun to interact with. Only downside we found was that the boat was full and did not have the 35 person limit the listing indicates.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Guest,
Thank you for your kind feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful nighttime view of the Eiffel Tower and had a pleasant interaction with our friendly team on board.

Overall, I think a trip worth doing. I don’t think the food on the longer trips on the river are worth it, so we stuck with the champagne tour. The trip starts from the ninth bridge, very great location, they go around the island of St. Louis head west down to Eiffel Tower. If you get the timing right, you will see the Eiffel Tower with the lights on, beacon on and the flashing lights. The dock was easy to find however, there is no assigned that said buy a tour tour here for example, so you have to ask someone if they are a via Tour agent. In the end, it was very easy to find the boat what complaint would be the amount of champagne it was basically half a glass of champagne in a plastic flute. But once again, the scenery is unforgettable. The price is right in spite of not having a refill on the champagne, which is what you would expect. I think it was a good trip and still would recommend.

There was zero interaction or commentary. We had no idea what we were passing, yet they wanted tops, it was freezing, no blankets offered. No signage to find the place.

Such a lovely cruise, it was the perfect length and seeing the Eiffel Tower sparkle from the Seine was fabulous! This is not a guided tour where there is discussion about the buildings, it is just a sight seeing tour. Also, they played music too loudly.

Ahhh this was so fun! Very very cute and you get some historical facts. Be warned that if you’re not doing during the summer it’ll be colder so bring jacket or something to be warm. No food on board but with your complimentary champagne you can also purchase drinks. They plan it so you can see the Eiffel Tower sparkle !
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Samia,
Thank you for your lovely message!
We’re so glad you had such a fun and charming experience, and enjoyed the Eiffel Tower sparkling moment.

We enjoyed your breathtakingly scenic ride along the Seine at sunset. Witnessing the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and Notre Dame from the water is a truly magical experience. The champagne made the occasion even more special. We loved the memories created during this journey and will be cherished. Thank you for such a memorable evening. We are celebrating Weddings (at 50 years) and birthdays (in April) the beauty of Paris in spring.
