This tour provided a unique view of Paris from the famous River Seine. We learned a lot while taking in the city's beauty. The dinner was wonderful & right in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower! I highly recommend this attraction!

A great time!

Great dining experience and sights!

Steve_T, Apr 2024

Food was fantastic with some great options to choose from. We were served at a relaxed pace allowing us great time to enjoy the view, conversation , and food/drinks. We followed that with the cruise which offered a great opportunity to see the city.

Dining delight

Gregory_S, Apr 2024

The dinner was better than expected and the server was gracious, entertaining, and welcoming. The river cruise was disappointing due to not going past Notre Dame with a weak excuse (in my opinion).

First Timers in Paris.

Vanilla_B, Apr 2024

We first thought we were having dinner on the cruise. It turns out dinner at the Bristo, then the seperate cruise. Wish the cruise were longer but did enjoy the food.

Not completely advertised as promoted

richard_l, Apr 2024

Viator's trip description is very misleading Said tours would start at 10/11 am. True, but you could not get the tour boat tickets until the restaurant opened at noon. Because of long lines, could not get on boat until after 1:00 pm. Food and restaurant service for follow up lunch vs dinner was very good.

Great food Fantastic views.

Deidre_R, Apr 2024

Le Bisrto Paisien is a lovely place. The food was remarkabley good. The service was OK. And the location Ideal. The instruction to transition from the resteraunt to the boat was a bit confusing and we were given 2 very different set of instructions but we had good seats and saw all there was to see. However once on the baot there was a sign to down load an app to hear commentary (I assume) as we were never were able to get the download without internet. There were multilingual announcesments 2 or three times during the cruise which were unintelligible. So if you know what you are supposed to be looking for you will do fine. The view as were FANTASTIC. We timed our trip to be at night with all of the lights.

Beautiful Dinner Cruise

GINA_R, Apr 2024

It's worth it! Excellent food and enjoyable cruise! My husband and kids enjoyed it so much. Will do it again if given the chance to come back here. Highly recommended!

Lackluster and without flavor.

Michael_I, Apr 2024

If interested in finding a 2nd dinner after not eating your 1st this is the place! Lackluster service, mediocre appetizers, bland main course (seriously, you can’t even season a hamburger?). The steak cost extra (so not all inclusive dining options) and was still bloody when we ordered it well. Misinformed waiters did not mention beer was an option for a drink (only talked about wine) and also told us there was a “skip the line” option for the cruise, but alas that was not the case. Cruise was supposed to leave every 20 minutes but it was not on time so we skipped it.

Enjoyed but got lost

Autumn_R, Apr 2024

Seeing Paris lit up at night was amazing, the food was very good, the service was subpar at best. The fast track ticket for the boat was nice. Make sure you are at the Seine dock when navigating for dinner. The address in google maps takes you the complete opposite way and it was not the easiest to find.

Don’t waste money here while there’s lot of other options

Sabeen_K, Mar 2024

Food was mediocre to bad, cold fish served. Service was subpar, waiters were not responsive . For 6 pm arrival food served at 7:10 after an hour of wait and desert wasn’t even served as pre paid. I would not waste money on it while there are so many better options avaible

Very good

Olga_A, Mar 2024

Very good experience. Efficient. Very Good food. Biggest issue:The headphones with guiding did not work.

Magical evening

Lisa_C, Mar 2024

What an amazing evening we had. The meal was 5 stars Ali g with the manager and the waiter giving exemplary service. We were made to feel very special. The river cruise was magical showing the beautiful buildings along the Seine so well kept. What an amazing way to see Paris by night. Thank you all for a magical experience and we will definitely be returning xx

Awesome

Tricia_G, Mar 2024

Great cruise, very informational, see great sights and food was amazing. I would definitely do it again.

Great meal but choose your time for the cruise

Jennifer_S, Mar 2024

The food at the restaurant was superb. Great choices on the menu. Really enjoyed the meal Was disappointed with the Seine cruise. I thought Paris was the City of Lights and that by going after dinner I would see the lights. Really the only lights are at the Eiffel Tower. The rest of the cruise was boring. Probably better during the day

Very good Siene river Cruise and a good dinner, worth it!

Eappan_B, Mar 2024

We have booked Seine River Sightseeing Cruise and Dinner. One of the best river cruise, at 6PM, so we had a good view of the major city landscapes from the river by dusk and at night. Viewing from the river is one of the best ways to view Paris. The dinner also was very good!

Mix of amazing food with a wonderful view of the Eifel tower.

Nuno_R, Feb 2024

Very good trip on the river seine. The restaurant was amazing with the last part of the boat made of "all glass" structure(I recommend to sit in yhis area) that you could see the eifel tower illuminated. The food was french cousine poetry, amazing starters, we had the mushrooms tartine and halibut with leeks, very well done and full of flavours. The main course was salmon on vegetables, again simple and fresh ingredients but with boosted flavours to another level. We've finished with a poached pear and a mascarpone cream. Can't spot anything wrong here. Flavour, ingredients authenticity and presentation. The service was very good, starting with the welcoming and everyone very attentive to our needs.

Nice meal, good cruise

Joseph_C, Feb 2024

Nice location at the base of the Eiffel Tower. Food was well prepared and there were several good choices. The river cruise was nice, and it was great that we could go at any time not at just a scheduled time.

Great experience

Lisa_H, Feb 2024

Food was amazing, the whole experience was better than what i expected when i booked the experience for my husband. And we was lucky the weather held out for the boat trip!

Restaurant not recommended

Jason_P, Feb 2024

Boat trip was great however the meal was not so good. Asked for burgers to be well done but came medium rare and cold and had to wait nearly an hour for desert

Valentine day evening meal

Alison_A, Feb 2024

This was an amazing experience with best and closest view of Eiffel Tower. A three course meal and the first drink free it represents great value for money. All the staff were kind and welcoming nothing was to much trouble.
