What To Expect
Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower was built by French engineer Gustave Eiffel, for the 1889 Universal Exhibition in Paris. This magnificent technical feat was achieved in a mere two years, two months and five days. It stands 324 metres tall, and the metal structure weighs 7,300 tonnes. Parisians were scandalised by its metallic look and height. It was built to last 20 years. A radio antenna was added to the top in 1903, saving the tower from demolition. It has now become the monument symbolic of Paris.
The American Church in Paris
The American Church in Paris with its green clock-tower was the first American Church built outside the US, in 1931. The stained-glass windows by Louis Comfort Tiffany have been listed as a historic monument.

Don’t pay the extra hoping for better - you won’t get it.

1.00We 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.
Excellent Narration of history & Friendly Staff

5.00The 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!
On the Seine.

5.00We 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.

2.00A poorly managed company that is not customer-oriented. Departure was scheduled for 5:45 PM, but the boat did not actually leave the dock until 5:52 PM. We were supposed to be at the dock by 5:15 PM, and we were. The boat was already there, but we could only board at 5:40 PM. Suffering from a herniated disc, I asked if there was a seat available in the waiting area or if I could have priority boarding, which was denied to me.
