The boats are always on time and it’s a convenient way of sightseeing without the constraints of worrying about your next ride. You can get on or off at any stop. What we did was take a complete ride just to soak up the river view and then plan of designated stops.

The Batobus is a great way to get around some of the majpr sites of Paris. They stop quite early though if you go in the winter - around 4.30pm - but there are lots of seats & it was a very relaxing way to get from A to B.

The guide (French name Achilles) was a history buff so we learned so much about the history of the area as well as the history of chocolate. Great guide!

Glad was an amazing tour guide. Loved all the bits of history told through story telling. Made the tour exciting and unforgettable. Q

Great cycle tour around the parts of Paris that we had never been to with Sebastian as our friendly and informative guide
