Beautiful evening boat ride, but meal only so so

Alison_C, Apr 2024

We had a beautiful clear night, so leaving the dock at Sunset was quite pictured with all the monuments and the Eiffel Tower lighting up in the evening.

Super experience!

Edgar_J, Apr 2024

Surprisingly delicious food , great views, and really nice music Ship was not crowded and service was wonderful.

View was wonderful.

Anonymous, Apr 2024

The view from the river once it got dark, the lights were incredible. The boat was very comfortable and our table had a great view.

Very well organized

Ty_P, Apr 2024

I was worried this would be a bit of a tourist trap and that the food would be sub-par but I was pleasantly surprised by how well organized this was and how great the food tasted. The food selection was terrific I was also a bit nervous because I do not know much French but the entire staff was hospitable in English and French. Would definitely take this tour again!

This is a can’t miss

Kevin_W, Apr 2024

Absolutely gorgeous and eligant boat and a superb meal. This is a can’t miss. The nighttime pictures of the Eiffel Tower and other Paris landmarks are priceless.

Too crowded, slow service, and limited roof access

Bart_T, Apr 2024

I have done this tour several times, but this was a noticeable drop in quality. I purchased the excellent package, but this time they crammed more tables in and even in our private table, we were bumping elbows with the next table. There was a more than 1 hour wait between courses, and they had to extend the cruise another 45 minutes to finish the dessert course. I didn’t appreciate winding up as late as we did because they tried to profit more by having more customers. They also kept the roof shut almost the first half of the cruise. I have given 5 stars to this before, but I won’t be booking with them again.

Great scenery.

RICK_S, Apr 2024

The tour was very nice as always. Tge service was excellent. The Steak was cold and very tough. Nice wine.

A much worthy experience

Leona_O, Apr 2024

Seeing the Eiffel Tower lit up at night was truly a beautiful sight. The food was so delicious and our waiter was fabulous. Worth every euro spent

Fabulous evening

Barbara_H, Apr 2024

We had the most enjoyable evening. The food, the atmosphere, the views of Paris all added to the experience. The staff were friendly and very attentive. Couldn’t fault it

Wonderful night!

Miranda_G, Apr 2024

My friend and I had a great time on the Bateaux Mouches dinner cruise. The food was delicious and the service was great! The music added a nice touch as well! I would recommend this cruise to friends and would go again next time I'm in Paris!

An American’s review

8g4s5qfxz9, Apr 2024

Beautiful trip! Great music and sights. Food was good but not memorable. The veal was undercooked and tough. The chocolate cake at the end was delicious. The salmon starter was good enough. Music was enjoyable too. Just wish they would have dimmed the lights inside a little more once it got dark. Overall, worth the price given the venue.

Fun cruise, good music and average food!

Greg_R, Apr 2024

Views were amazing and the music was great. Our waiter was attentive and very kind. Food was a 6 out of 10 but I guess that’s not why you book this cruise. All in all a fun experience.

An evening in Paris

Ann_A, Apr 2024

The music and ambience was amazing! The music duo was a pianist and a violin player. They were truly wonderful! Paris is beautiful at night! The food was just ok. We expected much more for the price. The soup was cold. We had the premier package and there wasn’t even a salad offered with dinner. The service was fair at best.

Fantastic cruise with Paris lit up at night

Joe_K, Apr 2024

Fantastic experience. We decided to do this last minute and so glad we did. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, staff, other guests, and of course seeing the Eiffel Tower lit up at night. They were also very accommodating to our young 3 year old daughter. I would highly recommend this trip!

Great evening

Heidi_C, Apr 2024

The whole experience from start to finish was wonderful!!! The food was delicious!! The meal was spaced out perfectly and the music was perfect.

35th Wedding Anniversary Dinner

Darwin_L, Apr 2024

A Romantic dinner cruise

Budi_S, Apr 2024

The dinner in the boat is very romantic and the food is great. The view along the river is the perfect view to see paris up close.

Do not do this

Kelly_C, Apr 2024

Thé sites were lovely of course, but there was no commentary to describe what we were seeing. The food was pretty bad. The steak inedible.

Paris at its Best

Kimberly_C, Apr 2024

The whole experience was spectacular we truly enjoyed the food, cuisine, and crew! I highly recommend this dinner cruise.

Do this for a magical evening!

Kathleen_R, Apr 2024

The food was delicious. The service was impeccable. The boat traveled slow up the river and back and slowed considerably by the Eiffel Tower which gave plenty of time for picture taking. The views were fabulous. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
