On a HOT Monday in Paris, this group did an excellent job of organizing the waiting patrons. They have a system! The advice to bring shade and water is good, and there are vending machines on board with water for sale. Bathrooms down below. Up the Seine, and back down the same way you came. Not fascinating, but a nice way to spend an hour.

Highly recommended, everything went well, as planned, the beautiful cruise to see corners of Paris from the river, easy location and the opera is a marvel, very crowded, it is better to go early because there are long lines, but the tickets very well.

Lovely way to see the main sights whilst enjoying the motion of the boat and the ambience of the river way. We stood at the bottom deck but out on one side and at the very front railing so had a great time. Not enough seats up on the roof though.

    We liked seeing Paris from the waterside. The wether was terific. Seeing all the familiair and less familiair landmarks whilst feeling the fresh wind in our faces was very agreeable.

    This was one of the highlights of our trip. The views were beautiful, the boat was clean and safe, and it was not overcrowded. Both children and adults in our group had a lovely time. We could have stayed on much longer.
