It was a very nice experience because from the boat you could see the Eiffel Tower perfectly, as well as other important buildings and monuments of the city. It was very comfortable to be on both sides of the boat, both inside and outside, since from the outside you could see the whole city beautifully, and if it was too cold we could get in for a while. I imagine that in more touristy months the boat gets completely full, but at this time of year there were not so many people and we were able to enjoy the whole experience!

It exceeded our expectations. The images of the upper pavilion are spectacular, but we were with children and the comfort inside was very cozy. And there are also headphones that tell the story of each monument you see along the way. I would definitely do it again. There's also the super attentive staff who welcomed us with great friendliness, everyone is to be congratulated. I highly recommend it.

It was a wonderful night to enjoy a sightseeing cruise along the Seine River in Paris. The view from the boat was breathtaking, especially when passing by the Eiffel Tower. Many buildings were beautifully illuminated, creating a romantic and magical atmosphere. When the Eiffel Tower began to shine, it looked as if it had a special filter, glowing like a diamond in the night sky.

    this was a great way for me to see all of the main landmarks in Paris. Even though it was raining, it was still a very enjoyable experience, and the lower deck was very warm. I would definitely recommend this.

    What I loved about the experience was knowing I was cruising on the same river that the Olympic athletes traveled on opening day. And seeing the Eiffel Tower by water What I didn't like was the guide did not speak very much. He didn't tell us very much of anything as we traveled. I also thought the guide would speak in English & he did not. We just kind of cruised along & looked at the buildings. I would have preferred a guide who talked the entire time & let us know everything we were passing
