Excellent tour to get a first impression of Paris, from the Seine River. It was the first activity we did in the city, and it was very useful to give us a general overview, besides having a very pleasant time sailing this beautiful river, with excellent views and in a very comfortable boat. The audio guide was very useful, the guide on board also, but here the problem for me was that if you listened to the guide on board, you could not pay attention to the audio guide. That is a point to improve

The Seine River cruise was an amazing experience. It was easy to find, well organised, clean and had plenty of room - especially downstairs The tour took us to many different sites and has a website that points out each landmark when you cross it, making it even enjoyable. A negative however, was that we did the cruise at 18h and got back at 19h, to find that macaron shop was already closed, even though the cruise bookings are until 23h But the boat itself was a beautiful experience.

It was a good experience for us. You get a surprisingly better view of the city during this boat rise. My family and I have thoroughly enjoyed the trip. We were lucky to reach on time and did not really have to wait in a very long queue get on to the boat. But right after our return the queue to board the cruise became insanely huge. So try to be there before 5 pm possibly.

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.

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.

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.

The tour guide spoke several languages. We saw a lot of the popular sites. Plenty of room for seating.

Sightseeing along the Seine

Ready for a delightful Parisian escapade? Head to Port de la Bourdonnais, right under the Eiffel Tower, and hop aboard a flexible one-hour Seine River cruise. Forget the fuss – you can board whenever you fancy throughout the day as the cruise departs every 1 hour. As the boat leisurely cruises down the Seine, you'll catch sight of Paris's coolest spots. We're talking about the fancy Assemblee Nationale, the artsy Musee d'Orsay, the classy Institut de France, the Pantheon, the chic Cite de la Mode, Hotel de Ville, Notre Dame, and the Conciergerie. Sail under the arches of the oldest bridge, Pont Neuf, and wave to the regal Pont Alexandre III, named after a Russian tsar.

Onboard amenities

Secure a position on the terrace to indulge in exceptional panoramic views, and concurrently, avail yourself of the onboard Wi-Fi connectivity. Additionally, do not overlook the multilingual audio guide in 11 languages. So, jump on board, soak in the sights, and let the Seine show you the best of Paris.
