5.00Dinner was delicious but the service was somewhat sparse because everyone shows up at around the same time. After dinner, we headed to the dock next door to get in line for the boat ride, which was lovely. Make sure to time it so you see the Eiffel Tower after dark. You can sit inside if it's chilly, but you'll get better pictures if you sit on the upper deck, or along the sides.
Okay food, good cruise

4.00The food is not the best, especially for French cooking. Recommend dining elsewhere. The cruise was well worth the cost and long line, which moved rather quickly. Narration was good. Go quickly to the top to get an outside seat-much better viewing.
Excellent

3.00While the dinner was fantastic, those who had the fixed price dinner combined with a cruise, were treated differently. I would have ordered and paid for more but waiters avoided us after they served us. When I asked about our “special “ cruise attached to the dinner I was told the next cruise was not for a long time. After a while we walked over to the cruise and there were hundreds of people in line. Most of them had just bought their tickets while we had purchased in advance. Once we got on, the boats were absolutely PACKED! I will say that once we got going we all went outside to the rail and it was magical! Waving and greeting other boats and people sitting along the Seine along with a lot up Paris was delightful.
Great experience

5.00Lots of people in the tour boat but we still enjoyed the sights and brief overview from the cruise director. Dinner at Le Bistro Parisien was delicious. (Only issue here was the length of time it took to get our main course. Others arrived after us but received their food way before us). Would highly recommend this experience for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable evening in Paris!
