Good value for money

4.00We are a family of 3 and wanted to see the main sites from the river as we were tired of the tourist crowds. It was easy to book and board and although we didn’t manage to get seats in the top deck you could stand outside in the lower deck and there was plenty of seating inside, but it did make it a little harder to see the buildings. The live tour couldn’t be heard downstairs and the sound system (which allows you to choose your language) was not working, so we used the QR code to listen on my phone and it was an ok system. I think it was worth the money and the boats themselves were really nice.

2.00Too crowed and not even seating. The boat was full, but the staff were very nice. We had a nice time on the boat but it was too dark to see any architectural buildings.
Viator Not Worth it

1.00Horrible. The vendor was selling tickets at the pier. The Viator ticket holders were in the same line as everyone else. Upon arrival we were told it the combined line was so long we would have to wait an hour and a half to board. Hugely disappointed!
The was a wonderful cruise.

5.00A great cruise to see the sites of Paris! We did an evening cruise with perfect weather and finished just before the 10pm lightning of the Eiffel Tower. The boat was not too crowded and the boarding process was straightforward.
