5.00It’s worth the price. Gave a 5 star only for the cruise itself and the boats but not for the narration by the person who is not enthusiastic at all and wasn’t easy to understand (his English).

5.00Make sure you go to the right pier !! We sat upstairs even when it was cold. Different perspective from the water. Enjoyable.

5.00Nice river tour and a way to see the city. I like the convenience of buying the tour for a day but not a specific time so you can go when it’s convenient for you. We took the sunset cruise so we were able to see the Eiffel Tower sparkle and the lights in the city come on. The audio guide by our seats didn’t work but they did announce and highlight the main sights as we were going by. We went up to the deck to take photos but sat down as it was cold. Overall I recommend this river tour.
Good value

5.00There was a line up at the port but it went very fast. Using the Viator ticket to go through was very easy. The cruise was very good and the view was excellent. The boat has two decks, upper deck was cold in November but the lower deck was warm and comfortable. Very nice

5.00We sat outside on the top deck so only had limited commentary. The trip started near the Eiffel Tower and went beyond Notre-Dame and back. A lot of the buildings we passed were well known Paris landmarks but a brief written guide would have enhanced the experience further. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

5.00The Bateaux Parisiens Seine River Sightseeing Cruise was an unforgettable way to experience Paris at night, with spectacular illuminated views of the Eiffel Tower and other landmarks. The commentary was informative, and the smooth boarding process made the cruise relaxing and enjoyable from start to finish.
Wait times are long.

1.00Too long of a wait. So crowded without being able to choose a specific time, we aborted the adventure.
