This was such a fun experience! We were lucky and had an almost private tasting with only 4 of us total on a Friday afternoon. Our sommelier was very knowledgeable, and very friendly. The views on the River cruise were incredible. We felt like true VIPS walking on to the boat and being led to our roped off private area for the tasting. We had the entire front of the boat to ourselves, a it felt like a dream! We learned so much, and the champagne was delicious. We even took a bottle home of our favorite champagne! One of our favorite experiences of our entire trip!

The Gentleman presenting the Champagne talked for too long. We sat ( special seating.... which was nice ) on the front of the boat and listened for 20-30 minutes ( selling Champagne... ) before we were given our glasses of champagne and allowed to walk out on the deck of the boat and take pictures... Nice boat ride up the Seine
Terry_K, Apr 2026
Plenty of delicious champagne , and learned about the region. Very fun experience and our guide was fun and knowledgeable
Mirta_S, Apr 2026
This was an excellent experience. The reserved front section of the boat set up with a sommelier. We tasted 3 champagnes while being taught about them, the region and how to taste them was fabulous. I was in Paris for a short trip and this was one of the best parts of my time there. Tres chic.

A great way to learn about and enjoy Champagne while cruising down the Seine River in downtown Paris. At the same time learning about all the history of the bridges and buildings along the way. All this as the sunsets and the Eiffel tower lights up the sky.
Sharon_P, Mar 2026
I didn’t really know what to expect from this experience, but it turned out to be fabulous! I surprised my adult daughters with this champagne tasting / river cruise and they all loved it! Jasmina was our sommelier and it was obvious she loves her job teaching people about champagne. She gave just the right amount of information to make it informative, but still allowed us to see Paris as the sun set and everything became illuminated. We had amazing views and photos of the glowing Eiffel Tower. We were in a separate glass enclosed area with about 25 passengers and enjoyed taking our champagne outside to a special area on the front of the boat. It was a very special evening!
Donna_M, Mar 2026
Such a unique perspective to cruise the Seine during sunset, culminating with the Eiffel Tower in full sparkle mode. Loved the champagne and option to take a bottle home.
Janet_P, Feb 2026

Rod_M, Jan 2026
Champagne tasting was amazing! Out guide was super nice and funny! She even gave us some history on France along the way!! The views of the Eiffel tower were breathtaking and Marie was exceptional!
Sheila_C, Jan 2026
My husband and I took a quick trip to Paris to see some sights we had missed on an earlier trip - notably the Eiffel Tower at night! What a beautiful way to see it, all while tasting 3 champagnes and learning about their production. Bastion was our guide and he did a wonderful job blending the discussion of champagne with the sights along the river. The cruise lasted about 1.5h and was worth the price. Because we were there in January, it was dark and the sights were lighted the entire cruise. C’est magnifique!
Kara_G, Jan 2026

Wonderful way to see Paris and get your bearings!
This is great for a bachelorette party our fun evening out. Relaxing and beautiful lights during the holiday season. The champagne was so-so. Definitely not the quality of Moët Chandon or Vieve Cliqot or Pol Rogers. Very knowledgable sommelier.
Brendan_N, Nov 2025
We started off our 5 night trip to Paris with this river cruise, that included a few glasses of champagne and it was the perfect way to start our trip. I would highly recommend everyone doing this!
Silvana_B, Nov 2025
This was a lovely experience! The sommelier knew a lot about the champagne and we had a lovely cruise with very generous champagne tasting.
Alejandra_C, Nov 2025
Amazing experience! Emmanuelle was very knowledgeable and the tour around several landmarks was remarkable!
Andrew_C, Oct 2025
Very nice way to wrap up our trip with a champagne tasting on the river. It’s about an hour in total but a great way to see the city from the river. I would definitely recommend to join in! The champagnes are delicious and hand picked to showcase the different ways of making champagne.
Yoliza_D, Oct 2025
Serene and beautiful cruise. Lovely time cruising the Sienne while sightseeing. We tasted 3 different champagnes. Our tour guide Emiliano was attentive, informative and friendly. Opportunity to take great pictures and see the Eiffel Tower from the boat.
Amy_S, Oct 2025
Our sommelier was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was hard to decide what to pay attention to, the scenery going by or the sommelier and the champagne!
Debra_G, Oct 2025
Very informative. Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Nice relaxing cruise having the front of boat to ourselves with outside access, not to mention the very good champagne.
Dawn_W, Oct 2025
The champagne expert was great! She explained where each bottle came from and was very detailed about what went into each bottle. The views on the ride were spectacular as well! I would definitely recommend this tour and the tour guide/ expert!
