    Too crowded, too many people onboard, the way the chairs were facing the windows mare ot difficult to see the sight. When it started to rain not all people fitted inside and thusbothing could be seen outside. I don't recommend you.

    Recomiendo que lo hagan un domingo hay menos gente y la experiencia cambia totalmente, es más tranquilo y la ubicación exacta es a la derecha de la dirección que pone el mapa, te puedes guiar por el nombre de la empresa Bateaux Mouches, o simplemente buscarla en Google maps

    The cruise itself is great but the experience could be better if it were handled more professionally. It suffers from oversubscription that runs the risk of being like a cash cow with a reduction in service quality. For example, it was not clear where the entrance was with a box outside the main wharf. The emailed instructions were good but not immediately to hand. There were no staff to manage crowd control at the entrance and seasoned tour operators came in and moved their own guests ahead of those already waiting. The platform needs to significantly improve passenger crowd control. There was only a couple of staff checking tickets on the wharf but not a soul around to manage the crowds. The waiting area had no barriers, so people tended to make their own rules how to gather (ie in a big crowd surge formation with a rush of people being hurt or crushed). There were no staff available to manage passengers on the boat itself (other than to drive the boat). Many people resorted to saving a spot for themselves against the side of the vessel, meaning that those seated couldn't see anything unless they also stood up and tried to look over or go to the side rail, creating a potentially hazardous situation - there's no one to look out if anyone was to go overboard. Audio was a rather vanilla recording that played back as though on a ghost ship with a clear absence of staff to save money and maximise profit. This all detracts from what is an amazing experience.

    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.
