Paris Seine River Sightseeing Cruise With Commentary By Bateaux Parisiens

This was very good to see a lot of tourists attraction without a walking miles and smooth would greatly recommend

Location is easy to find. Right there by all the tourist sites. Easily accessible by metro. You can use a mobile or paper ticket

Such a great time! Extremely affordable with a great line up of must see items. Drinks available on board, an app to listen to the cruise in your language, and willing to answer any questions.

The voice tour at your seats didn’t work. Out of eight only one worked. Because the kids couldn’t hear anything they got bored.

It was an amazing event . I had the the best view of Paris and love the ending with the Eiffel Tower sparked !!

The concept of seeing Paris from a boat is great. But the boat was packed, and music was being played from bad speakers and it was not possible to hear the guide because of the bad speakers. The choice of music was also strange. Sometimes Edith Piaf, other times more like party music. Other guest had brought selfie sticks where they were filming from the air, making it difficult to take nice pictures without the sticks. And also it's hard to escape being filmed because of this. Some of the guests were listening to the audioguide from the app on their phone without headphones, also being distracting. So overall, great seeing Paris from the Seinen. But the experience with the boat and company, I would not recommend. One good thing thought was that there was no lineup to get on the boat. That part was efficient.

Very nice cruise with bautiful views. This is a must'do when visiting Paris. I highly recommend this excursion.

The headsets didn't work. The weather wasn't great but we found seats inside the warm cabin. The boat seemed old and dirty.

It was a great way to see attractions from a far and with fewer crowds. The city is beautiful! Was worth the time and money.

I was very disappointed in the ability to use my $18+ reward credit. I redeemed them, but it did not show up on my three tickets that I purchased.😆😆

The boat ride on the river was very pleasant. We liked the fact that we did not have to go at a certain time. It was a nice way to end our day.

We purchased this excursion along with the Eiffel Tower. Did the river boat excursion at night when all of Paris is lit up. It is very relaxing and recommend you get to the boat early so as to get a good seat and view. Does not involve any major walking once you get on the boat. Very lively and fun.

Great introduction for solo travel but too quick to enjoy. Only works if weather is cooperating so probably not in winter

A bit of feedback on the cruise Not a great experience for wheelchair users who need to stay in their chairs Whilst it was great to be able to access the boat cruise, wheelchair users can only sit in the middle inside the boat, which actually meant I couldn’t see anything. Therefore the experience overall was very poor because of this as I was not able to see any the landmarks.  This could be improved by utilising a small ramp to allow wheelchair users to access the lower level where the indoor seats are.  That’s why I scored this cruise a low score. However the cost was reasonable and my friends enjoyed it as they sat in the lower level and could see everything. The staff doing the commentary were very good and were helpful getting me on

Unfortunately, the tickets never came to my email and the provider was unable to accommodate.. Wasted a round trip uber for 6 people. No one responded to my messages.

Beautiful cruise along the river. A must see and the bonus was the Eiffel Tower up close. Great selfies along the way

Cruise was as expected, up and down the river past various sights. The "Commentary" was somewhat lacking. There were supposed to be onboard audio guides, which were not working and we were advised to download the guide on our phones. Great if you have a smartphone and the connection to do so. The smartphone guide was also pretty poor, and did not tell you that much. We booked this expecting it to be a tour with a commentary, as it was we ended up just having a sail up and down the river and having to work out ourselves what we were passing. There was notification a couple of times via the PA system, but most of the time there was nothing.

I really can’t rate it as our plane was delayed nearly 9 hrs departing SFO, We were relieved it didn’t get cancelled, but got to Paris just at the last cruise departing so we’ll have to try again. Very disappointed we couldn’t change to the next day and lost our money.

The trip was the best way to see the buildings that are some of the most recognized landmarks in Paris

Great tour! Melanie who was our tour guide is very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour. Very organized

The river boat was comfortable and the cruise was ok. The best look was the EIFFEL TOWER. They had vending machines on board to purchase snacks, water and soft drinks

We started our cruise a half hour before sunset. We were treated to the most beautiful pink sky and a perfectly timed lighting of the Eiffel Tower

Extremely strenuous walk up, you must be in excellent physical health. The views are awesome We were totally exhausted but thrilled we did the tour Our guide, Lady E was bubbly and informative. Her Nigerian accent and her rapid pace of speaking, made it difficult to understand at times

Fabulous Seine river cruise. Very well organised and didn’t wait long to board. Saw amazing sites which was beautiful.

Amazing views and a nice sitting break! I would recommend sitting up top and on the side facing the Eiffel Tower. The boat goes up and down the river so you can see both sides so everyone gets to see. There was no wait and we went at 5:30pm after go up the Eiffel Tower.

It was the perfect weather for the sight seeing cruise. The digital download made it informative as there was any narrative on this cruise.

Overly crowded but perfect night at sunset. They should not allow people to stand on upper deck the entire cruise. Exceedingly long line to board but organized. Recommend putting commentary on phone as unable to hear. I still highly recommend it. Simply beautiful

It was comfortable with seats facing towards the river. The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed the views from the water. Great pics of Eiffel Tower. I recommend this boat tour for sure.

Really lovely cruise in the evening! However, be aware the queue can get extremely long if you go at peak times-your boat will be full (we went shortly before dusk). We waited about 20 minutes to board the next boat. You will be at the mercy of where you are in the queue-we got lucky and got seats we were happy with on the top of the boat and didn’t feel too packed in, but again, full boat. The commentary was short and sweet but they had a QR code you could scan for a little more info on the tour highlights. Heavy traffic on the river made our ride over an hour due to slower speeds. Overall, really nice way to see the city lit up at night-really pretty! Glad we did this! Just be ready for crowds and the queue! If you are hoping to see the tower sparkle from the boat-book a timed entry tour. This “any time” ticket will be unpredictable.

Large crowds onboard but views from top deck were nice. Commentary in French, English and Italian. Night cruises every 15 min. very popular.

The boat has upper and lower deck, the lower deck is covered in case it rains. There’s a tour guide calling attention to the key monuments. The ride is casual and gives you a view of the main attractions along the Seine. The best views is from the upper deck.

We had some trouble finding the ship location but we had excellent experience getting on board and enjoyed the short trip.

Great information and very exciting tour.

Guide was very informative, but had a hard time hearing her. She walked very fast and, being older, was hard to keep up with her.

The commentary is hard to hear because other travelers are talking. The views were nice. A lot of photo opportunities.

Terrible experience. Long queue With staff being very unapproachable and dismissive. Ended up leaving the queue.

Very beautiful view of river and the ride was good. The only challenge is you need to be sitting on the top floor of Ship.

My daughter and I did this our first full day in Paris. Its a great way to see several sights in a relatively short time. Our guide was great abd the weather was perfect.

Not happy with the lack of audio on the upper deck. They have an app to have the audio on your phone. Not good not real time.

Booked the Seine river cruise through Viator. Purchased tickets on line, but info was not clear that the receipt was actually our ticket and all we had to do was get in line. B/C on a river cruise I booked in New Orleans I actually had to take my online ticket to the ticket booth to get an actual paper ticket. So I waited in line for 30 minutes to follow that same procedure only to be told my online ticket was all we needed. When I booked, I had no idea this boat would hold the capacity of a small town. So waiting in line was very long and once on board people were crammed in like sardines in a can. We enjoyed the scenery BUT definitely not that experience.

The boat was overcrowded. The lines were ridiculous. Got there around 8pm and the line extended for about 300 metres

Decent boat cruise. Ticket I bought was anytime for the day. I wanted to do the night one. Other reviews said the line was long and it looked fairly long so I got in line. As the line started to move, a message came on saying you had to get in the next boat or you’d forfeit your ticket since it was for that specific time/boat— which clearly isn’t true. So I didn’t get the night cruise as we left at 8pm. Thankfully we were just returning at 9pm when the first Eiffel Tower sparkle started so we did get to see that. They crammed tons of people on the boat so that there was little room to move around. And the commentary which you could listen to on your device was hard to follow as I didn't know where things were, what they were or where we were. The location was convenient as it was right by the tower.

This cruise is an absolute must to view the sights as well as see the Eiffel Tower at night. The boat is spacious and was really great value for money. Definitely worth the time and effort.

Beautiful day. Sun with some clouds. Light breeze on the water. 70 degrees. Great views on both sides of the boat.

Beautiful sunset trip. Great way to see the Parisian culture from the boat - well managed, listening to the commentary was useful as we passed buildings!

It was a fantastic river boat day trip with detailed informations. It really worth for money and time.

The excursion was easy to find. There were plenty of boats to board. The facilities on board were great.

A lot of stairs down and back from boat with no railing for assistance which was hard for older travelers. Boat was pleasant enough but it was hot so we sat inside which made it hard to see sights.

Worth every penny, seeing the architecture around paris was absolutely breathtaking! The ride is was perfect.
