Fue una experiencia realmente hermosa y especial. Recorrer el Sena mientras admirábamos los monumentos y la arquitectura de París desde otra perspectiva hizo que todo se sintiera mágico. El ambiente era tranquilo, el recorrido muy agradable y cada momento se disfrutó muchísimo. Sin duda, uno de los recuerdos más bonitos de nuestro viaje y una experiencia totalmente recomendable.

The cruise was a wonderful way to see the city from a different perspective and get a general idea of what there is to see. The ticket is very convenient because it lets you choose the best time based on your schedule, with departures every half hour. A very positive experience!

Le Paradis was spectacular—highly recommended for a cabaret experience in Paris; we loved it. On the other hand, we didn't enjoy the Seine river cruise; the boat didn't have a place to serve drinks or food, so I wouldn't really recommend it.

We were only able to take the Seine river cruise because the opera house was closed that day, but they refunded our opera tickets without any trouble, so I highly recommend it.

    Scenery was fantastic! Seats on the ship was also great to enjoy sightseeing. If we have a chance to visit Paris again, we would take the tour once again.
