Great hop on hop off riverboat service. Process of getting tickets was cumbersome. Good value if used.
Extremely disappointing (do not book through Viator)

Hours of operation were not as advertised on website, and not able to use as a result. Viator deferred to operating company, re: decision to honor versus decline our request for a refund, which they denied. Viator displaced blame onto the company, despite it being their (Viator’s) website/app advertising the business’s hours of operation. Overall, Viator was extremely unpleasant and not anywhere near as user friendly as other comparable travel apps, such as Get Your Guide (spend your money there, not on Viator).
Great way to visit many...

Great experience to discover Paris otherwise! 🚤 The hop-on hop-off concept is super practical: you can go up and down whenever you want, at the foot of the most beautiful monuments. The Seine offers an incredible view, it is quiet, pleasant and perfect for a break between visits. The boats are comfortable, well organized and the staff is friendly. Frankly ideal for tourists and to rediscover Paris without stress. I recommend 100%
Simple and convenient service to visit sites along the river.

Warm indoor space which was perfect for our winter visit. Easy to navigate and convenient to visit all the wonderful sites along the river. Frequent enough schedule that we didn't feel waiting time was too long. Shame the outdoor deck area was quite small, so it made taking photos a bit of a shuffle with other passengers.
Celebrating a birthday - fab!

This was an excellent way to see the sights on a chilly day. We were celebrating an 18th birthday and this meant they were not disappointed and saw all their favourite sights.

Would highly recommend using this hop on and off service. Very frequent, helpful staff and very easy to follow via the app. Really worthwhile if you are short of time and want to see many of the sights of Paris. Loved it!
Excellent alternative for a sunny day!

Definitely worth it. You can hop on and off as many times as you want during the duration of your ticket, whether it is 24 or 48hrs. This offers a great way to hit up manu highlights withiut the need to move a car abd drive through the city or do long distance walking. You will still walk a lot, based on what youd like to see. Activity was of great value. Boats were cleaned, staff was friendly. We visited during off season though.
