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!"

On a very snowy daty in Paris when many attractions were closed, we were delighted tp take the Bateaux Mouche. I am a firm believer that every city should be explored by the river where possible to uncover great sights amd understand the environment. We were impressed with the timeliness and cleaniness of the boat. The commentary has got even more complicated than when I last used Bateaux Mouche four years ago encompassing a number of other languages. But it still got the main points across. Perhaps an app version of the commentary in your preferred laguage would be a good next step. Loved it.

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.

The cruise is definitely worth the money. It's the best way to see certain monuments, especially the Eiffel Tower. I recommend going up at sunset and staying outside. The bar where you wait is also nice.

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.
