A truly unforgettable experience in Paris! We took the 1-hour sightseeing cruise, and it was undoubtedly one of the best decisions of our trip. Boarding right at the foot of the imposing Eiffel Tower is super convenient, and boarding was very quick. During the cruise along the Seine, we were able to admire iconic landmarks like Notre Dame Cathedral, the Musée d’Orsay, and the Louvre from a completely unique perspective, passing under the city’s beautiful, historic bridges. The included audio guide in multiple languages was very informative and helped us appreciate the history and architectural details of Paris much more. I highly recommend taking this tour at sunset to see the lights come on and understand why they call it "the City of Light." The upper deck offers a very pleasant breeze and unbeatable 360-degree views. An activity 100% recommended for both couples and families.

The cruise is great; there are audio guides in every language available at the covered seating areas, and all the relevant details are also announced in three languages: English, French, and Spanish. That said, don’t expect an exclusive trip, since it’s a massive experience—the boats have a capacity of 600 people, and we had to wait almost an hour to board, herded along like sheep.

There was a big crowd, but there was enough room for everyone on the boat. We were able to enjoy the view. The audio commentary was easy to understand and could also be set to German. The only downside: since we hadn’t installed the app, it was almost impossible to board with a paper ticket. But luckily, they were understanding!! Monika

The journey was very nice, you are guaranteed to see remarkable landmarks and monuments that really tell a story about Paris since 15th century. However, there is a long waiting line regardless of pre booking that should be taken into account, but the next part was too good, definitely recommend this.

This was just perfect. We only queued for about 5-10 minutes and were given a warm welcome on board. The sun shone and the sights were beautiful. A really great way to see Paris.

    The monuments were breathtaking. The bridges were excellent works of engineering. The boat was very comfortable and the cruise was smooth. The audio announcements were not clear on the top deck. This needs to improve.
