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.

Lovely way to see the main sights whilst enjoying the motion of the boat and the ambience of the river way. We stood at the bottom deck but out on one side and at the very front railing so had a great time. Not enough seats up on the roof though.

Booking the tickets were straight forward, the fact you had to collect the macaroons yourself from a particular shop could have been made clearer, saying that, the shop was even to find and the staff was aware of the situation. The meet-up of location stated Bay 3, there was a bay 3.1 and 3.2 - specifying which exact bay would have avoided any confusion. The staff at the location were extremely friendly and helpful, the cruise itself was good. The audio guide was very useful, I would definitely do this cruise again. Great work.

  • 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.
