5.00All it’s advertised to be. Loved that the ‘tour’ part was not an audio rendition but simply a visual one. Food was far superior than I anticipated and wait staff very kind and courteous. A perfect way to experience Paris at its finest!So much

5.00We had a lovely lunch with waterside sightseeing - Bateaux Parisiens provides great service and a wonderful menu that is beautifully presented and delicious, accompanied by a very good selection of wines as well as a welcome kir royale. We were fortunate to have a lovely sunny day, but this is an adventure that is just as much fun whatever the weather. Our server was very friendly and personable, and we couldn't have had a nicer time.
Definitely recommend

5.00A great way to see Paris from the riverbanks! Our lunch was excellent and the staff was friendly. For a 3 or 4 course lunch with wine and a beautiful scenic tour, you can't beat the price! The only issue we had was that we paid for the privilege service (premium window seating), but upon arrival they sat us in the middle. I told them and they corrected it and moved us to a window seat.

5.00Took this cruise with my adult daughter. We paid more for a premium window seat and it was great, but I didn't see a bad seat on the boat. Lots of food and wine. It was hot when we did the cruise so we appreciated the air conditioning.
Best canal cruise ever

5.00This was such a well-organized and wonderful cruise. The food was delicious, and our server was phenomenal and so relaxing. Next time I return to Paris, I will do the dinner cruise. Worth the price.
