4.00Cruise (booked online for family from abroad) perfectly complementary to the visit of the Eiffel Tower (departure and return to the docks located just at the foot of the Tower).
Great views. Amazing price.

5.00Great service. Turned up at 4.45, got on at 5, even though it was busy, queue went fast and very organised. Finished at 6, just in time to see th beautiful flashing lights on the Eiffel Tower. Great experience for my daughter’s 16th birthday.

5.00This was a great cruise and very informative. We had completed Our Eiffle tower tour then proceeded to the markets by the cruise terminal. Then went to the boat where we commenced the tour. Very good commentary from the boat tour guides they had a sense of humour also. Very enjoyable
Nice getaway

5.00Nice boot.Good explanation in multiple languages. Both live and through sound equipment. Spacious upper deck.
Very average, very brief overpriced "cruise"

3.00This was a very average 40" cruise on the Seine. Commentary was in French, English and Spanish. English commentary was very, very brief with (barely) one sentence re the Louvre and Notre Dame. Incredibly disappointing. The commentary was very difficult to understand, and not always accurate (the Louvre is no longer the largest museum in the world). I wish I had saved the 17 euro for something more enjoyable. Don't make my mistake.
A must do river cruise to...
