Batobus on the Seine

5.00Instead of just taking a cruise on the Seine try this because there are 9 stops to get off and explore. Reasonably priced.
Easy and efficient

5.00Unfortunately we didn’t get to utilise this to its full ability but the price was great and it’s an easy way to see the sites and travel.
No toilets

2.00There are no toilets on the boat. So so much time is taken to find ones when u make a stop. Some of the tour guides qr interesting and funny. And speak multiple languages. Otherwise just sound like a bis driver announcing the next stop on French
Excellent cost benefit.

5.00Excellent cost benefit. We bought the 48-hour package and made the journeys between the tourist attractions by boat. Easy and fast access. In the late afternoon the view of the monuments from the Seine River is fantastic.
Fun way to see Paris

5.00My sister and I bought Batobus tickets online before our trip to Paris at the end of October. We got on at the Notre Dame stop, and did the entire circuit. We had purchased 48 hours so did another circuit the next day. They announce upcoming stops, but it is not a river tour with commentary by a guide. You can be outside at the back if you don't want to take pictures through the glass windows. We had our hotel far from the river, so I don't know if I would do this again, but if you are staying near a stop, definitely worth it to get around. Took many great photos, so worth the price for that alone.
Easy transportation

5.00Easy way to get to 9 key spots. Very reasonable at 23 eu for 24 hours. Website very helpful with maps for each stop and a list of major sights. Easy to find.
“We’re the best tour company out there - except we’re not. And don’t bother for a refund..”

1.00These guys totally let me down. I practically flew across the country to a D-day tour that paid for in advance. I arrived 30 minutes early - 6:30 AM. I waited and waited and someone with another tour company said sit tight they are on their way - but they didn’t come. Then when still weren’t there by 7:05, I started emailing and calling - no luck. Then 7:23 someone calls and says “sorry, they left without you - you were on the wrong side of the street. And we are not going to refund anything because that is your fault.” Literally it had taken 2 seconds to call me before leaving it would have great. I’m so upset.

5.00This is a really economical ($27) way to get around 9 stops near main attractions in Paris. Rather than ride Metro underground, you leisurely cruise the Seine and take in the sites along the riverbank. I never waited for a boat to show up at any of the landings.
Great way to ride the river and see the city!

5.00Great way to ride the river and see the city! Easy to find stations and to enter and exit the ship. They run very often as well. about every 8 to 10 minutes.
Good trip but you need to have plenty of time, to fully enjoy it and visit everywhere on your list!
