David was an AWESOME guide! Clever and knowledgable, he has a knack for giving you a history lesson in a very easy to digest way. The bike tour itself was fantastic. A perfect way to get the full scope of the awe inspiring gardens and all of its hidden wonders. This was a highlight of our trip for sure.

Beautiful scenery; would have liked to hear the narration.

Dale_B, Apr 2024

Seeing the beautiful buildings and boats along the river. We saw several Olympic preparations which was exciting. The bridges we went under were beautiful. Seeing the Eiffel Tower from the water was a whole different perspective! Not able to hear narration was disappointing.

Pleasant, quick views of Paris

Fateema_G, Oct 2023

Easy to find the meetup spot, staff were enthusiastic and did a decent job of pointing out key landmarks and history. Boat was spacious and the ride was really smooth and easy. Good way to start a trip to find specific things you want to look at more closely!

Good Enough

Karla_Y, Sep 2023

This is my third time doing this tour, so it’s good enough for my needs. The audio can sometimes be hard to hear, but paris by boat with a (plastic) glass of champagne is simply a must do. Enjoy.

Great information on the...

Jaime_M, Sep 2023

Highly Recommend!

It was a lovely introduction

Charlotte_L, Aug 2023

The champagne and the tour guide. Nice weather. Good information. I was inspired by the discussions and would do it again.

Seine River senic cruise

Nancy_L, Aug 2023

We loved the cruise there was so much to see down the Seine River! It was full of history & charm. The only issue we had was it was hard to hear the guide from the top of the boat. So we saw some awesome architecture, but not sure what the building were.

Lovely cruise if you have and hour or 2 to spare

Siobhan_H, Jul 2023

Great trip on the Seine great to see some of the main Parisian attractions. Tour guide was also really good a knowledgable. Cruise lates an hour but left about 30 mins late - wasn’t a problem just if you have other things booked could have proved problematic.

No Champagne served

Prajit_B, Jun 2023

As menttioned in the package, we were not serverd champagne on the boat. Sitting arrangements could be better like other Boats. Guide was good at explanation.

Doug_F, May 2023

There must be better river tours. They only had one server and long lines. It was imposible to hear the narration and there was a bad smell in the ship

Highly recommended to do in first day in Paris.

Christine_V, Sep 2022

Great tour guide Bruno. Nice navigation to the tower. Friendly. Wonderful tour guide would recommend to all my friends.

Not worth it

Mazin_B, Jun 2022

Tooooo crowded, packed, you can't see or hear much of the tour !! dirty toilets and unorganized Did not enjoy it!!

Nice Way to Start a Paris Visit

Adrian_C, Jun 2022

This was nice but nothing particularly special. Good to get an idea of the layout of the city and to know what you're looking at. I imagine the lunch or dinner cruise would be even better. Our guide gave us good detail and it was what I expected.

Horrible experience!

Cynthia_M, May 2022

The sound system is horrible! I did this tour with my sister last week, sat in front of the boat and was frustrated with the quality of the tour guide. He was close to us, but there was a lot of static and what he said was loud and garbled. I already had purchased tickets to go on this tour again with friends that had just arrived from the United States. This time we sat in the back of the boat, hoping the sound system to be better. It wasn’t! It was so soft, that we couldn’t understand a word the tour guide said. I even told one of the employees that we couldn’t hear, but I was pretty much ignored. Don’t waste your money or time with this tour!!!
