4.00Smooth transaction, boat was very busy but was efficient in timings. Multi drop off but would of been good if you were given a map with other stops and timings they stopped at, we walked back as we didn’t know where or when the next boat would be from the same company.
Great day trip if you want to see the highlights of Paris

5.00I travelled with my family and was there on Bastille Day (14July). Since this was a national holiday, many of the tourists sites were scheduled half day or closed in preparation.This was a great way to still enjoy the highlights of Paris on the Siene. I would recommend this cruise as its an easy way to see Paris. Also one note, there are no snacks or beverages are available for purchase.

4.00Everything was fine. The employees were friendly, the boats came every 20 minutes to the stops. Just be warned that during a heat wave these boats are like being in a microwave. They open the roof windows. But the side windows are stationary. So you don’t get any breeze while sitting on the boat. And if you’re in the sun it is miserable. There are several other boat options on the Seine but this was the only boat we saw that was constructed this way. We purchased the 48 hour pass but after the first afternoon we never rode it again. If you’re going during cooler months I’m sure it would be fine.

4.00It was a different way to travel. It was enjoyable to go down the Seine River verses walking to the highlights.
