Friendly and helpful staff, great views, less tourists than on land! A great way to see and get around Paris! When we visited only one boat every half hour or hour on the Notre Dame route - bit of a shame because we had to keep an eye on the time not to miss the boat, whereas a boat every 15/20 mins would be more convenient!

Exceptional way to easily see many top sights in Paris without crowds or getting tired. You can easily find the stops as well. There are also less stairs than many metro stations although you may need to budget a little more time. It pays off in time spent in unique viewing opportunities.

What did you love about your experience? I loved the breathtaking architecture and the aura of history inside the Palais Garnier. The interior was absolutely magnificent — from the grand staircase to the painted ceilings. It truly felt like stepping into a dream. The atmosphere was elegant and inspiring, and I could feel the artistic spirit that has lived there for generations. An unforgettable experience!

I recommend it. A pleasant journey through Paris from a different perspective. Getting on and off gives you a lot of freedom and flexibility in terms of sightseeing, and helps you move quickly around the city center without having to use public transport or taxis 💪👍

The Batobus was great! It is relaxing and gives you a chance to see all the major sites while travelling along the river. I wish it ran later into the day during early spring, say 7 pm. Well worth using rhe Batobus in Paris.

The fact that we can stop at the most important places and take the batobus wherever we want. An experience I would repeat. A relaxing moment along the Seine

Forget the usual tourist traps – grab your hop-on hop-off boat pass and cruise along the Seine with a 1 or 2-day hop-on hop-off boat pass, offering a relaxed way to explore Paris from the water.

With one route and nine well-placed stops, boats arrive every 15 minutes, making it easy to hop off, explore, and hop back on whenever you like.

Enjoy the comfort of heated boats with open decks for panoramic views, and grab a quick snack from onboard vending machines (available at your own cost)

Popular stops include the lush Jardin des Plantes, the historic Place de la Concorde, and the impressive military site, Les Invalides, along your route.

24 or 48-hour unlimited hop-on hop-off boat tour
