Overview

Mobile ticket
Explore the City of Lights with a quintessential Seine River Cruise in Paris! Choose from a variety of daily departure times to suit your sightseeing schedule, and then check in for your cruise near the Eiffel Tower. Hop aboard a popular Bateaux Parisiens riverboat, and soak up the passing sights of iconic attractions like Notre Dame, the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay. Glide beneath beautiful historic bridges, including the famous Pont Neuf. Even the riverbanks of the Seine are a sight to behold and have been collectively designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Along the way, a prerecorded audio guide provides commentary on the history and legends of Paris. The boat will turn around after about half an hour and cruise back up the opposite bank for a scenic and leisurely introduction to the magic of Paris. Your sightseeing cruise ends back at the original departure point near the Eiffel Tower.

1.00Can you not give a star??The people were very unfriendly except a woman. They waved us back even though we had tickets. Our friend lotta was already through. That's why she's alone on a boat for 1 hour. they weren't helpful.

2.00Not very informative. The sound system was not great very difficult to hear the announcer. Several rude passengers. Passengers standing by the rails and blocking seated people’s view. Not very organized.

1.00The tickets that came to me didn’t correspond to what I bought, so we ran out of cruise on the Seine and without the more than 40€ that cost. A real shame.
A beautiful view of Paris with a little history
