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

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.

My husband and I enjoyed the bateaux tour very much. We learned quite a bit about the sites and history of Paris. Or guide was fluent in three languages and very knowledgeable. She was also interactive with the children and recognized the birthday of one of the tourists. Magnificent!

    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.

    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.
