Beautiful sights, wonderful staff , especially a young lady named SAMMA! My father is slightly handicapped and walks with a cane. The staff treated him so well and helped him board before any other passengers in the very long line. Do not miss this trip. And the glass of champagne was wonderful.!!

Most efficient way to see tons of Paris attractions and relax at the same time!

Sean_C, Jul 2026

Usually these boat tours are sort of gimmicky and a waste of time but I was quite blown away how much we got to see in a little over an hour. The view from the Siene was absolutely stunning and we got awesome photos with the Eifle tower, Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris, Diana Pont de l'Alma, Place de la Concorde, Pont Neuf, Musée d'Orsay and so much more. I would recommend a sunset or night time slot. We had a late afternoon time anround 5:45 and the sunlight was amazing but quite hot still. If you can book ahead of time and get that 7-8 time the lighting and temperature would be perfect! Your guide was amazing and gave some great facts about everything we were passing but was also not overwhelming. The bar was only staffed with one person working so the line was a bit long. I would recommend getting there early and trying to get your drinks before the tour starts so you don’t waste time during the tour. 100% worth the money!

Great way to see the city...

Rebecca_N, Jul 2026

Great way to see the city from the Seine. We enjoyed the champagne and my son enjoyed the crepe he was able to get onboard. This was a much better experience than the tour with dinner option I did on a prior trip.

Fun and full of information

Barb_F, Jun 2026

Very relaxing and informative. Good time had by all. Hostess was very fun and friendly. I would take again

Check and double check!

Kim_L, Mar 2026

We did not get to enjoy this cruise because I selected the WRONG DAY! We aren't even in Paris yet. The only reason I can think of is while deciding which cruise to select and going back and forth on the site I did not double check the selection. It defaults to the current date and you have to select your desired date! I did it so many times I guess I thought I was on the correct day. I did not become aware of it until I started getting review requests. Don't let my mistake become yours, too! Check, and double check!

Siene River cruise.

Beautiful perspective and informative pleasant guided tour. Much history along with a great viewpoint of the Eiffel Tower.

We located the place of...

Julie_P, Nov 2025

We located the place of departure very easily. The crew was very polite, funny and informative. We learned so much during our hour cruise. Seeing the Eiffel Tower light up created a memory that will last forever.

Seine cruise with a glass of champagne

Cynthia_S, Aug 2025

Loved seeing Paris from the river. Good informative guide. She pointed out all the really good highlights of the city.

Don’t miss this one!

Carlos_Z, Jul 2025

Awesome cruise!

Madison_L, Jul 2025

This was a fun cruise to see everything via the Seine! We sat on the bottom part and it was still good seats even if you don’t get a seat up top!

Informative cruise

Jean_L, Jun 2025

Our cruise was not very full the day that we went, but it was very hot. We sat on the top deck, and the woman was very informative throughout the cruise even though I know it was too hot for her to be on the hot open deck I’m sure she would’ve been happier if we went down a level, but the six of us they were on the top level did not want to be out of the sun. She still made it an amazing cruise.

Would not do again. Not...

Elizabeth_Y, May 2025

Would not do again. Not enough seats that we needed to sit on the deck. Was supposed to come with glasses of champagne which we never received! So disappointed! Will be disputing the charge.

River cruise

Molly_S, Apr 2025

Beautiful way to see some historic sights. So relaxing as you do a lot of walking in Paris. Champagne was delicious.

Good food

Dawn_M, Apr 2025

Food was great, views were beautiful, it was very warm inside , very expensive to get taxi to go 2 miles at that time of night, plan accordingly, worth the money

Love the tour

Susan_M, Apr 2025

Loved the tour. It was fun to be on the water and getting to see so much of Paris. I’m going again tomorrow and can’t wait.

Paris with spouse and friends.

Gregory_R, Mar 2025

It was on time, comfortable, the boat was all electric (green), and the tour guide was very good. It was easy to access.

Alisa_D, Dec 2024

I was unable to load the tickets onto my phone but the staff was very helpful and was able to find our reservation so that we did not miss the river cruise.

Lucy_O, Dec 2024

This is a scam… I was never able to find the meeting location and I try to contact them and as of now I haven’t heard from them:(

Beautiful experience

Lisa_D, Dec 2024

It was such a beautiful experience! The guide was so knowledgeable and we took a 5:45 cruise and the city was just glowing. Bucket list experience for sure!!!

Lovely

Lindsey_S, Nov 2024

Lovely tour down the Siena! Recommend to go at sunset to see the city sparkle! Tour guide, Maureen, was exceptional.

Nothing stands out as special.

Debra_G, Nov 2024

Was almost left off cruise got in line to board and they were full saying everyone else was on 7 pm cruise, showed ticket for 6:30pm and they let us on, but they did not make any boarding announcements regarding time. Had to ask for champagne and show ticket again.

Great quicky tour

ASHLEY_P, Oct 2024

We did this tour before our Eiffel tower tour. Very cool to see things from this perspective and We loved the history of the different bridges. Our guide was great and very knowledgable.

Missed a magical moment

Diane_S, Oct 2024

Poorly done - not allowed to sit outside - couldn’t hear or understand the guide None alcoholic drinks ran out all But water and complementary champagne required standing on long line and waiting for glasses to be cleaned !

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hello, we are sorry that your experience was not what you expected. The upper decks of our boats had to be closed for safety reasons due to the height of the Seine. We offered soft drinks in compensation for the tour which had to be modified for reasons beyond our control. Do not hesitate to ask our crew to turn up the volume of our bilingual guide's commentary if it is too low.

Nice cruise

Jayne_L, Sep 2024

4 of us took the tour down the river. Lovely guide, nice journey and drinkable champagne. Great result!

Complete ripoff and false advertising

Colby_M, Sep 2024

Do not buy. Says it comes with champagne but it doesn’t. They want to charge you 3/4 the price of the ticket for a glass onboard. False advertising should not be allowed. Will be disputing this charge.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

We're sorry your experience didn't turn out as you'd hoped. The Seine River Cruise Champagne Option does include a glass of champagne. You have to go to the boat's bar and present your ticket (on smartphone or paper) to the barman. If you do not present your ticket to the barman, he will not be allowed to serve the glass. We have the pleasure of serving glasses of champagne every day to all customers with their ticket.
