My pictures collection from Paris

Lisbell_C, Dec 2023

I love taking pictures to the beautiful architecture cityscape and the service in the restaurant was good…

Good lunch at Bistro

Glenn_J, Oct 2023

Atmosphere was good. Food was good. Service was excellent. We would recommend the Bistro, did not have time to take the cruise.

Cruise wonderful, Bistro Parisien Horrible!

Abel_A, Sep 2023

The cruise was absolutely wonderful. However, bistro Parisien need some work. When we sat down visitors shared that the service was poor. We received our water and soda 10 minutes after our appetizer. They put rotten lettuce on my husbands burger and the bun was soggy. We ended up leaving soon after because we could not get assistance.

Worth it

Anonymous, Sep 2023

It’s so worth it. And the staff in the restaurant are amazing.. Especially the Spanish and French guys.

River cruise followed by a relaxing lunch.

Sonya_M, Aug 2023

We really enjoyed the experience, wonderful views from the boat. We couldn't hear the commentary but had scanned the code and had all the info we needed. Lunch was gorgeous and the staff were charming. Many thanks.

Rushed - too far from cruise ship to Paris

Kim_M, Jul 2023

Very disappointed that cafe was closed. We went around barricade stations to knock on closed door to get someone’s attention. He was finally able to get our tickets just in time to board the boat. The tour guide on the boat was multi-lingual. I believe I heard French English Spanish and Italian? We did see several landmarks but overall picture taking was somewhat difficult due to trees, other buildings, etc. We got back to the cafe and tried to have lunch but our time was cut short because of the time it takes to get a cab, get to the train station, and board. If you have enough time to leisurely travel the city, this tour would be ok. If you are on a cruise ship in Le Havre - do not try to get to Paris and back. At least six hours of your day will be getting to Paris and back to the boat. The train in front of us was involved in an accident. The delay put us 90 minutes late for the ship. Since there were 60 or so people on the train trying to get to the ship, they did wait for us. We heard another 11 people were on the highway stuck and did not make the ship.

Lovely meal and fun cruise!

Melany_K, Jul 2023

We enjoyed the meal and had a gorgeous view of the Eiffel Tower! The Cruise was busy but very delightful!

Great view, food & service.

Catherine_M, May 2023

Absolutely amazing setting and lovely food. Great view of tower and river from our table. Service great. Cruise was informative and right length of time.

Great price great meal!

Christine_M, May 2023

This was a nice experience. It was raining but we was still able to enjoy a nice lunch. They don't have to go boxes so make sure you go ready to clean your plates!

Great experience but lack of details in instructions

Ooi_Y, Mar 2023

A wonderful experience and great food too. The only thing is that there should be a clearer instruction in which port to wait as me and other passengers were waiting at port 1 as I instructed in the email. Then we were told we have to wait in port 3.

A great time was had by all!

Jolie_H, Nov 2022

My daughters and I had a lovely time! The food was delicious and the boat tour was fun! Tho, it was confusing to figure out exactly where to go.

Very confusing trip.

Sandra_A, Aug 2022

It was very hard to find where to pick up tickets from. Not good instructions. Lunch was great and so where the servers. Boat ride was not good.

Eten langs de Seine

Erika_V, Feb 2024

We werden niet vriendelijk onthaald, we moesten heel lang wachten vooraleer we op de boot mochten. Buiten zitten mocht niet, ondanks er wel plaatsen vrij waren buiten in het zonnetje. Eten was middelmatig. Beter is om een boottocht te boeken afzonderlijk van een lunch, en nadien te gaan eten waar je maar wil. In dit geval zit je gekluisterd op een boot die niet vaart, terwijl je eet gedurende 2 uur.

Nigga in Paris

Edgar_G, Sep 2023

Super recomendo, umas das melhores viagens da minha vida, o passeio de cruzeiro pelo rio sena foi um sonho realizado. De Angola para França, Obrigado!

L’emplacement exceptionnel au pied de la Tour Eiffel. Belle decoration et fauteuil confortables. Nourriture moyenne sans grande saveur
