5.00Lovely cruise along the Seine with an opportunity to get on and off to explore chosen sites along the way, within a 24 hour period. Pity about the inaudible on- board communication system.
Once is Enough

3.00The Uber Boats on the Thames set the standard. Batobus is no Uber Boat system as it only operates between 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and there are only 9 stops. The wait time between boat arrivals is not reliable. This is basic transportation with no attention to comfort. The positive is that the river has nice views and you will be ready to “hop off” at the next stop. Also, if you book on Trip Advisor… the ticket/pass that you receive and store in your e-wallet is NOT the ticket. You will need the e-tickets that are emailed to you (not storable in e-wallet)- this process is not convenient or customer friendly.
