Seine River Direct Access Guided Cruise

It was a good time, the staff was helpful and the tour was lovely. We had a really nice time. Good value

The tour guide was great-he was very informative and easy to understand. We really enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend.

Very good! Tout est parfait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!¡¡!!!¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This river cruise was lovely. The view from the water was a great way to see the sight in a relaxing manner. The tour guide was excellent.

Our cruise time and route was modified just a day before due to the Pope's visit. However, boarding was smooth and it wasnt difficult finding the meeting point. The boat is quiet which helps. We booked the english-guided boat but no one mentioned that it would be done in both French and English which can be confusing. The guide gave all the important highlights on the sites we could see. Boat is just the right size so not too many people.

A good overview of the Seine around and about L’Isle Cite. It is a good way to begin your sightseeing in Paris. Especially since the dock is at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.

Very knowledgeable tour guide and interesting cruise with a lovely refreshing breeze from the river. I had to move as felt annoyed by young teenagers behind me who were constantly loud and boistorous and were using my seat as a stool and I'm glad I did as I took a better view surrounded by more mature adults and I could hear the tour guide. Recommended 100%. Thanks.

This was a great and very affordable way to experience Paris from a different perspective. We got amazing views of the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, and many of the beautiful bridges along the Seine while taking in the city from the water. We sat in the front and had some of the best views, which I definitely recommend! The only downside was that we couldn’t hear the narrator very well because the speaker in the front didn’t seem to be working properly. Overall, it was an inexpensive and enjoyable activity, and I would definitely recommend adding a Seine River cruise to your Paris itinerary!

Perfect midday activity. We went right after going to mass at Notre Dame and absolutely had a perfect day. Temperature was comfortable the wind was blowing and we got a great overview of the sites that we passed. So fun to see the city from a different angle. The guide presented good information and helped us gain our perspective in the city.9

The tour is very relaxing and interesting way to see the iconic sights along the Seine. Highly recommend it.

Slow bar service, obviously a trainee or someone who was very new. Guide provided over speakers not headphone so was very hard to hear. Also narration was done in French and heavily-French-accented English. Combine the two factors, I couldn’t understand much of the tour

Gentle coast along the river, with a very knowledgeable host...spoken enthusiastically in both Français and English!

Exactly what we expected. Very nice. Only gripe was the bar service was rather slow. The tour guide was great and boat was nice.

Loved having the narrator and she was excellent. Boats are clean and not crowded. Highly recommend this tour.

The tour guide did a great job explaining the history of everything we saw, in both English and French. They were very accommodating to our family member that was in a wheelchair. We also were able to sit in shaded areas. I highly recommend!

Boat trip was nice, however bar staff were grumpy, drinks overpriced and they were still serving beer that was only dripping out as machine was not working properly

We paid extra for the live guide and the nicer boat but I wish I had gone with the other companies. There was no guide at all so we had no idea what we were looking at, it was so hot and we were in direct sun the whole time we couldn’t even purchase cold beverages at our own expense.

The narrator did a fantastic job of telling us interesting and important things about all the buildings along the river. She did this in both English and French and it was impressive because she also did it by memory, she didn’t read to us or have notes. The ride was smooth and comfortable and the staff was very friendly. Highly recommend!

Cruise on seine was amazing! We were able to see so much and the views very breathtaking! The guide was very knowledgeable and made the experience a lot more enjoyable

Very nice and relaxing guided river cruise, definitely would recommend

You get a good view from the boat. The tour guide was ok.

We enjoyed the cruise and thought it was both relaxing and informational. It was a hot day and so it was nice to relax on the covered deck while listening to the interesting facts about the different sites. It was also nice to get a different perspective of the monuments and buildings. The staff and crew were very friendly and knowledgeable. Drinks and light snacks were available for purchase during the cruise (card only) The Seine cruise fits into an enjoyable day of sightseeing and was the perfect addition after a visit to the Eiffel Tower as the starting point is very close. Definitely recommend this cruise when visiting Paris.

Easy to find, just the right amount of time, could hear everything and guide was very fluent in French and English

Well worth the money and very informative! Easy meeting instructions and had an on board bar which was a nice touch.

Easy to find the boat company at dock on Seine. Tour guide was amazing and she talked about sights and buildings the whole trip in both English and French. We sat inside due to rain. Boat was fairly quiet. There was a snack bar with drinks available to purchase.

Delightful river cruise with informative guide my friends and I had a lovely cruise despite the rain

Plenty of seats , good amount of time on the river and a very knowledgeable guild

Unless you can sit up top you have NO idea what you are seeing. We got there 15 minutes before cruise and had to sit downstairs as upstairs was completely filled. Tried to get on next tour but it didn’t work. We were looking forward to learning about Paris and its historic sites. That didn’t happen. VERY DISAPPOINTED

Even with a designated time/ticket, we still had to wait on a line and didn't get onto the boat we were scheduled to (although we were there on time). Wasn't a big deal because one left 15 minutes later, but you'd expect if you have a ticket to be able to board.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Crystal at Notre Dame. She was knowledgeable, expressive and had a gentle calming attitude. It took us awhile to figure out the meeting place was across the street from the cathedral but that was the only hiccup in an otherwise great experience.

An excellent 1 hour round trip from the Eiffel Tower to the end of the Ile de la Cite. Excellent guide giving lots of information in French + English. 100% electric boat so smooth and quiet. WC (but only one) on board. Embarkation was trouble-free and the boat kept to schedule (it was not over-busy). Highly recommended.

Get there early enough to get a seat on the 2nd floor of the boat, other wise you’ll have to stand to see the views. If you miss a view don’t worry as you’ll circle back to see it again

The boat tour was magical! We ended with a gorgeous sunset and the Eiffel Tower lighting up! Our tour guide was very good!

A lovely relaxing experience with a beautiful bilingual host! Great way to sit back and see the main attractions with some history explained.

Guide kept my 11-year old’s attention and did a good job of narrating in two languages (French and English). Boat was comfortable and not overcrowded (probably due to the cold weather).

Easy to starting spot, very informative and interesting history, easy walking, friendly guide. Great tour!

We missed our reservation. They informed us that our tickets are good for 30 days which was very accommodating. Also, our adult son has a disability so they priority queued our group of 5 people ahead of those already in line.

Nice cruise, even in winter. The boat was warm and the view was good. The narration on sights seen enhanced the excursion.

It can be chilly and windy on the top deck in October /November. Bring a hat! The guide was excellent. It is a delightful excursion and worth every penny. We recommend this trip and cruise line

Great cruise with friendly staff. Unique view of landmarks and the architecture of Paris. We had a great time overall. Highly recommend walking along the Seine afterward.

This was a smaller cruise which was exactly what i wanted--the docent spoke in both French and English and was fantastic! I really enjoyed all the information and seeing sights from the water and not having a huge crowd to contend with.

The boat ride was as expected. But on October 13 the guide’s English was very difficult to understand. This why only three stars.

Nice river ride and tour. You have to listen very carefully to understand the English tour guide but we enjoyed it and indulged in champagne and crepes!

Great guide and commentary! We really enjoyed it and would do again and/or recommend to anyone in Paris.

Beautiful river cruise down the Siena through Paris. Great way to see the city! Tour guide was very good and the guide in the free accompanying app was also very informative.

Beautiful day weather wise and it was a very relaxing tour. Guide pointed out significant buildings and told brief stories about each. It was very nice

Very disappointed to arrive and be told our tour was cancelled. Contacted Viator directly because tour operator didn’t notify us of the cancellation until we arrived to check in for the tour. I understand boats break down but communication shouldn’t.

Tour was cancelled due to mechanical problems….we were informed if this at the dock after spending 36 euros on an uber! we did not receive text notification—-just an email—which I did not check before departure. Viator has been so good at informing us of departure reminders, etc. on prior tours—why did they not text us this time!??

Excellent tour on a lovely electric boat. Visited Paris in September and this was the 10:45 tour for 1 hour. The boat wasn’t overcrowded so plenty of space to move around and take pictures. Also a little cafe onboard for refreshments. Highly recommend!
