Wonderful experience definitely a must do when in Paris as you get a beautiful view of the city which you don’t get from being on land. I highly recommend it. And the seats are first come first serve so you want to get there extra early if you want a seat on the top open deck to view all of the lights properly.

A fantastic trip. we'll worth the money. we went for the Premier package which proved to be well worth the little extra. lots of food, lots of wine, and great views from our perfectly placed table at the front of the boat.

It was the perfect ending to our Paris trip! If you are looking for an affordable river cruise that allows you to see the popular sights of Paris, this is the excursion for you!! We did it at dusk, and it was perfect!

It was amazing and joyful! I recommend to do it in the first day of entry to Paris

Super cozy boat, very friendly people, unforgettable views.
