Magical sunset cruise – Highly recommended! "I had a wonderful experience with this 1-hour cruise. I chose the 5:00 PM slot, and it was perfect to see the city's landmarks with beautiful lighting. The boarding process was fast and easy, and the staff was incredibly punctual. The seating and overall accommodation were very comfortable. The live commentary was excellent and very informative. My only minor note is that the sound was a bit difficult to hear at times due to the wind and weather, but that’s understandable for an outdoor experience. I still managed to follow the explanation perfectly. Highly recommended!"

Unfortunately, we ran out of time during our visit and were not able to enjoy the cruise. Although we did see the Seine, we were disappointed we could not make the cruise. It looked amazing, and on our next visit we will do our best to book it again. ❤️

The bateau mouche gives you the impression of gliding almost silently along the Seine amidst a superb array of Paris's most beautiful monuments. What's more, it allows you to stand back from the monuments and see them in their entirety, which is truly amazing! It was a wonderful experience that I can only recommend to those who might hesitate to take it.

We had a great trip on a magical day. Wonderful experience going under the famous bridges, especially Pont Neuf and around the ile-de-France.

Why you shouldn't miss this

The calm waters of the Seine make for a relaxing cruise. With commentary from an expert, you will understand the historical significance of each of the attractions that you pass by. Your tour will begin by passing the Louvre Museum and the Conciergerie towards Notre Dame. The glass pyramid monument of the Louvre, however, is not visible from your ship due to the walls covering the area. The Notre Dame eastern facade is stunning to see in person. The tall spires and flying buttresses are in the typical Gothic style. The Musee d'Orsay with its two massive clocks is on the right bank of the Seine. Seven large windows can be seen between the two clock towers.

You can also catch a glimpse of the Conciergerie, where Queen Marie Antoinette was jailed before her execution during the French Revolution. The massive stone structure with its numerous imposing towers is in stark contrast to the other monuments. At the end of the 70-minute your, you will be dropped back to the point where you boarded the ship.
