Avoid the stress—logistics are a mess! The boarding process for this cruise was the worst I’ve experienced. It took me 40 minutes and five attempts to find the "hidden" boat because no one on the dock seems to know which company is which. Once on board, be prepared for "upcharges." They wanted extra money for empty window seats, and even basic water wasn't included in the lunch price. With only two menu options, the food feels like an afterthought. I’m giving it a 5/10 only because I actually made it on the boat in time, thanks to a lady from another company. Save yourself the headache and pick a more organized operator.

Itinerary
Boarding point with Eiffel Tower view
The Pont Alexandre III, an elegant architectural masterpiece in Paris, majestically spans the Seine, linking the Invalides to the Grand Palais. Inaugurated in 1900 for the Universal Exhibition, its sculptures, ornate lampposts and uninterrupted view of the Eiffel Tower symbolise the refinement of the Belle Époque.
The obelisk of the Concord, donated by Egypt to France in 1831, sits in the heart of Paris. Over 3,000 years old, it comes from the temple of Luxor. Its hieroglyphs celebrate the reign of Ramesses II.
The Musée d'Orsay in Paris, housed in a former railway station, is home to a renowned collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art. Works by Van Gogh, Monet and many others illustrate the artistic evolution of the 19th century. Its unique architecture and rich artistic heritage make it a must-see on the Paris cultural scene.
Notre-Dame de Paris, the iconic Gothic cathedral in the heart of Paris, bears witness to eight centuries of history and architecture. Its imposing vaults, magnificent stained glass windows and famous façade with its gargoyles make it a religious and artistic masterpiece, attracting visitors from all over the world for its beauty and cultural significance.
The Bibliothèque François Mitterrand, a vast cultural institution in Paris, is a symbol of modernity. Inaugurated in 1996, it houses millions of documents, books and media, and is distinguished by its contemporary architecture in the shape of four open books. It is an essential place for research and knowledge.
Paris City Hall, located in the heart of the city, has been the seat of the municipality since the 14th century. Its neo-renaissance architecture, adorned with sculptures and ornaments, embodies civil power. A historic and cultural site, it hosts official events and reflects the democratic and administrative identity of Paris.
Former royal palace turned prison, the Conciergerie borders the Seine on Ile de la Cité. It was here that Marie-Antoinette spent her last days. Its Gothic rooms still impress, mixing medieval pomp and dark memories of the French Revolution.
Less known than its New York sister, the Statue of Liberty in Paris stands on Swan Island. Offered by Americans in 1889, it looks west. Parisians like to see it as a discreet symbol of Franco-American friendship, often ignored by morning walkers and cyclists.
The Bir-Hakeim bridge connects the 15th and 16th arrondissements of Paris. Recognizable by its two-tiered metal structure, it is often filmed in cinemas. Its central pillar bears an equestrian statue, while the aerial metro offers spectacular views of the Seine.

Had an excellent time, food was amazing, great staff. Would recommend
We were shown to our table and greeted with 2 x glasses of complimentary champagne. It was a lovely experience. We really enjoyed the delicious food while watching the world go by. 😊
The lunch was really good but the boat tour changed itinerary due to a change in weather. We were not able to go down the river towards the Louve and instead we when the opposite direction to the newer part of Paris. There wasn’t any commentary provided of what buildings we were viewing. The lunch was good but we had much better food at the local cafes. It was still a neat experience and for two hours it was a nice break.
Great food. Fast service and helpful staff. Witnessed arranged proposal and birthday surprise. Nice touch. Thank you
I do not recommend this experience. We were charged additional to have a table. The cruise was not a fully booked cruise. There were many open tables. When we were being seated, we asked for a table near the windows and were told we would have to pay an additional fee of 20.00 per person to sit there. Otherwise we would be in the middle of the boat with a small (just enough room for 2 plates) table. There were 5 couples and 2 families of four. Once the cruise began other couples moved to tables near windows and when we asked them at the end of the, they were not charged an additional fee. We were treated and charged different because we were American tourist. ( the only ones on the cruise). We were also served different menu than others. It was extremely over priced and the services was terrible. We purchased tickets and then were charged an additional fee on the cruise. Buyer beware.
Very good service by Ismael. The food was very good. The ride on the boat very relaxing. I will recommend it highly. Nice time.
Food was below average, tasted like frozen fish and not fresh. Extra charges applied, and guide of included/excluded not correct, eg extra 20 euro foe sitting at a window etc
The food was excellent & presentation of it was very well done. The waiters were friendly & professional & even recognized my granddaughters birthday. Everything was clean & attractive on the boat. Only reason for 4 was some difficulty finding the boat. Taxi driver took us to the right area but told us to cross the bridge & go down the steps. We did this but looked for the bust & it was on the other side of the river. So had to do a lot of walking to get back to where we had started. In the instructions it would be helpful to say it was on the sane side as Eiffel Tower. Otherwise it was a great tour & lunch!!
Wonderful service great food Divine wine. Our waiter was polite and attentive.Happy crowd. Pleasant music.Great atmosphere.Very memorable Marked our special occasion.
Service was excellent! Food was excellent! Sites were beautiful! Loved the whole experience! Such a great experience to add to our Paris trip.
Lovely lunch with a great view of Paris. Pleasant staff. The only con is the pier and boat is hard to find. Make sure you give yourself and your taxi driver ample of time.
We booked at the last minute and the evening was excellent. The food is standard, yea, but it is quite good! We had the “traditional” menu- the beef was tender and flavorful. The portions were generous. The staff really makes an effort to give you a special night! You will not regret this tour. I have done other boat tours. This was just the right size and the staff was attentive. My daughter and I had a very memorable evening!
Lovely food and great staff - would recommend. The sea food option looked really fresh and the veal was good. Good drinks options.
Our server was excellent. Staff was very helpful. This is a must do when in Paris. Views were AMAZING. You must do this cruise!
This was an amazing experience! I highly recommend. The Traditional dinner and ride at dusk into the night provides an out of this world experience of Paris at night. It is a must see for all.
The atmoshphere and lunch was very good . I had hoped there would be a bit of tour telling us some history of sights.
Great expérience with friendly workers. The food is very good and tasty. Great view on Paris among the way in the boat !!!
We had wonderful experience during this cruise. The view was great. Food was good quality in the staff was a attentive.. The only concern was the cost of an additional 10-year-old to be seated by the window. This is information that should be provided prior during the registration for the Cruise.
This was a wonderful experience. We lucked out with a beautiful day. The staff were very pleasant and the food was pretty good, to our surprise! The views were fabulous. We’re definitely happy we did this!
When I got to 7 Debilly, there was no boat. I called Trip Advisor, and was told the boat was on the other side of the Seine closer to the Eiffel Tower. Walked all the way there: no boat. And saw the boat (Tosca) had arrived on the other side so I had to walk back. Very bad advice from Trip Advisor. Fortunately I had time. Cruise was nice. Relaxing. Food was good. Service was excellent. Drinks were quite expensive. Even water wasn't included. All in all a good experience except for the poor directions from Trip Advisor.
It was a nice cruise with a good boat that didn’t smell of gasoline and have very nice cutlery and smooth ride. However, it lacks the announcement of the city attractions. Your on the cruise to see landmarks from a different perspective…missed many. More importantly, there was no board or flag to indicate the company name or logo. It was challenging to find…give extra time
The trip was enjoyable and was good value for money . All the staff were attentive throughout . On the negative side the boat was extremely difficult to find . With the trip starting at 12pm we arrived at 11.45 and there was no indication at all as to where the boat was moored . It was hidden behind another boat and no signage was put outside on the dock until 12.10pm to indicate if we were in the correct location !!! This needs to be addressed.
If I could rate NO STAR I would!!! THIS IS A SCAM- we waited an hour and the boat did not arrive siting problems with the Seine as the reason- there was no problem with the Seine!!! DO NOT BOOK IT!!!!!!
Not expecting such good food, it was excellent, both the seafood and meat choice. Where we picked up boat no indication we were in correct spot as all workers in area said no pick up at that point, so we searched other area s, ended up we were in right spot but signage would help
We were well received by the staff. We were able to see several monuments and the meal was very good.
It was an amazing experience, wonderful dinner, the meat a spectacle. Super recommend for those who come, perfect care of Ismael.
Very good experience, I recommend for a good meal and a good view around the Seine. The service was impeccable.
It should be noted that the embarcadaire is in front of the Eiffel Tower and that the blue banner is to be spotted because the Ubers are not too used to this destiny.
this fly boat companies is not very big and it's better .the journey time is very correct. great meal. drink a little expensive but it's a general betting
Hard to find the boat. Pretty expensive and you didn't see much. Otherwise an ok trip. Would have been fun with a text on what you saw.
Very good Service, rich food and waiter Ismael very attentive! Excellent service. The views are beautiful and the weather very warm
Very smooth, friendly service, all dishes were fine. Luckily we had chosen a place on the top deck, making it very pleasant and relaxed. On the lower deck it was very noisy... highly recommended!!!
We highly recommend the cruise, we appreciate Ishmael's attention. Good Food and Welcoming, Spectacular Views
Good meal, missing comments on monuments. Intimate boat and decent staff. Drinks are extra but taken correct
Very good experience on this boat, the meal was very good and very pleasant, the walk on the Seine of a good duration that allows us time to see all the most beautiful monuments of Paris. And the departure/arrival at the foot of the Eiffel Tower adds even more prestige and magic to this moment. I recommend!
Service was very good and fast , the food is very good . Service the team is very kind and attentive
Very little experience on the on stage, the Servit is top the kitchen it is beautiful meal the Mood excellent🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
We were able to take very nice pictures thanks to the view. Appreciable meal. Staff smiling. Well signposted access and respected schedules
Good view, friendly staff. They are helpful and attentive. We were able to bring back a full doggy bag car. Good for a family Sunday
A very pleasant service with a beautiful view that accompanies us throughout the cruise, it is an experience to do again and I recommend.
The cruise is amazing, the staff is attentive and everything went very well. The view of the bay window really allows to take beautiful photos. I recommend!
Everything went well, service at the top the excellent menu service ensured with good music and wonderful views. To be done again very soon
We were for our 20 years of marriage! Beautiful views! Delicious meals Delicious 😋 To be repeated very soon
Great family time, good service and quality meals. I recommend mostly as a couple or with children. Count 2 hours total duration.
Ouverture des portes à midi, la péniche démarre 40 minutes plus tard. Comme nous sommes arrivés très en avance le temps m’a paru long avant de commencer le voyage. Supplément de 20 € pour avoir une table côté fenêtre, d’où l’intérêt d’être parmi les premiers à rentrer pour avoir la possibilité de choisir. Le supplément, boissons est un peu cher, vous avons pris juste une eau minérale d 1 Lfacturée neuf euros, la table d’à côté était très près de nous et bruyante mais le déjeuner était très bon, une qualité de service, et la promenade est tellement agréable le long de la Seine, 2 heures de navigation, j en garde un très bon souvenir
Super croisière, relaxante avec un repas gastronomique vraiment très bon. Les serveurs sont très sympathiques et nous avons vécu un moment très agréable. Je recommande sans problème.
We had a nice Sunday the service is very welcoming and meal is very good the boat is well decorated thank you very much
1) tourist trap: impossible to book the menu at 60€ for the same evening, only the one at 92€... you book bay window for 10€/pers + 20 to be at the front of the boat (all the seats in front are with bay window: you pay 2 times the same). No free water. 2) the boat is old 3) Very expensive meal: a slice of fat and overcooked meat with a mini dessert... It's better to have recent boats like the blue diamond.
Great trip for a view of the city from the water (without explanation), not too long and a delicious lunch. Better than expected :-)
