Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

5.00Great views of both sides of the river. Boat is very comfortable and staff was amazing. I did the 8:30 tour and caught sunset and nightime exposures.

4.00Quick boat trip around the most famous sights. The boat is basic, nothing beautiful, but it is enough for 1 hour ride. Just limited seats outside on the board. Nice toilets. You can order some drinks and small snack like nuts. They don't prepare any warm food so be careful to eat before the tour because near the docks we were not able to find any bistro or restaurant open after 6PM. Order the drinks or snack at the bar, no table service was provided. Only one small shop was open I guess 7-10 min away. For the price the trip was worthy. On the other hand due to low price the boat was almost occupied by teenagers. The public lights turn off at 10 PM, be careful which time you will choose for your trip.
Terrible customer service/Would not recommend

1.00We bought our tickets online and arrived at Dock 42 as instructed early so we could get seats etc. Cruise was at 18:00 we were there about 17:30. It was raining there were about ten people also there waiting. The gate was locked. Most people did not have umbrellas- us included as the weather had been good all day. The crew saw the group standing at the gate waiting in the rain getting soaked but no one came to unlock the gate. They just ignored us. As the rain got worse and no one came to open the gate we were soaked through and we ended up leaving and missing the cruise. It was terrible customer service and honestly didn’t instill confidence in the company. Other companies had opened their gates as we passed by to make our way to Dock 42. Would NOT recommend
