Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    We really enjoyed this dinner cruise. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was delightful. The live music and atmosphere was enjoyable. The view of the Eiffel Tower at night was gorgeous & we were able to see it sparkle right as we went by it! Highly recommend!

    Beautiful tour of the city at night, everything is lit up and you have great views. The singer was wonderful. Our service and food were top notch. We would recommend this experience for a couple or a nice dinner out with friends. The boat was easy to find and checking in was easy.

    Nice boat, good service, but overpriced. The $70 advertised is not realistic. Food was good, not great. We were surprised when we got our check that we were charged an extra $10 per person because they had seated us by a window. Overall, an ok experience but not great.

    The boat ride was informational with spectacular views. The included snack was from a vendor which took time before boarding and put us near the end of the line. It was recommended to get there 20 min earlier but you are holding a tray of food before you board. You can eat it in line or on the boat. It was just a little awkward.

    Adam, Adam, Adam. Is there anymore to say?! He is by far the best tour guide I have ever had- beyond superb. This tour was so much more than I ever expected. It was a lousy rainy day, but the experience is unforgettable. All made possible by our expert, intelligent, dynamic, charismatic, and witty guide Adam. Could never thank him enough for sharing his knowledge, engaging the group, and teaching us about this beautiful city and its rich history and culture. For a one day tour you hit many of the highlights which is a plus. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wishing to know more about Paris beyond its surface.

    Appetizer and entrees were very good. Dessert was overcooked puffed pastry and only 3/4 of the party received a dessert. Wine was good. Coffee was warm but not hot. Staff was attentive but could have stopped to ask if we needed anything after serving. Staff numbers were potentially inadequate for number of guests. Great opportunity for pictures of major Paris landmarks at night from the Seine. Due to lighting in the seating area, pictures have to be taken from top deck. Still worth it!

    The service and experience were great. A fantastic way to see Paris. Food was delicious. Well worth the price for the time you get and the quality of food.

    Hade a great time relaxing and chatting with friends while sailing on the Seine with a glass of champagne. It’s tough to see much but it was a great time.

    We had the most amazing time on this river cruise. The boat captain was punctual, courteous, friendly, and provided everything we needed. Excellent, excellent, excellent…

    We hired a separate tour guide to accompany us and I would highly recommend for all.

    Thank you guys for a great trip and experience.

    Booked a package of river cruise and Eiffel Tower experience as had left it late to get tickets for the Eiffel Tower. It was great combo. The company were brilliant with communication as the meeting had to change due to road closures for the Olympics. We did an 8pm cruise followed by the Tower (at that time we walked straight in and ascended to the second floor). Our guide Khadija was knowledgable and friendly. Overall a great experience. We were in the Tower for the first sparkly light show so we decided to stick around to watch the 11pm one. My teenage daughter was very happy!

    The views of the Eiffel Tower are unbelievable. The food is average. The drinks on the boat are very expensive. But you don't come for the food. It's all about the views.

    As they don't provide a menu in advance and only ask for allergies... here is what we were offered:

    Starter - Salmon mousse (no other option). We said we don't eat Salmon and they brought us something else which was OK but would have been nice to know in advance as we may have picked another cruise.

    Main - Chicken with veg in paprika sauce OR Pollock.

    Desert - Chocolate cake or fruit selection.
    Food was OK overall.

    You are sat in 3 rows looking out of the boat. 2nd/3rd row is elevated but unfortunately all pictures have the front row/2nd row heads in front of you and reflections from the glass due to the lighting.

    Drinks were really expensive and not included in the ticket, which was disappointing. We were given a complimentary bottle of water. Several guests didn't realise this and were hit with a hefty bill at the end of the meal.

    There was a photographer on board who took some nice pictures (some had other couples in the background /foreground). Charged €20 for 1 picture, €40 for 2 or €50 for 3 which was really expensive again given the ticket price.

    The views and the journey up the river was gorgeous, would recommend, just perhaps with a different provider.

    Hope this helps people, enjoy Paris!

    When you make a booking, make sure to call their number and find out the correct boat name and correct location as we received the wrong information and missed the boat 1st time. Please arrive at least 30 minutes early to find a boat and location. Our boat name was IVOIRE.
    At the foot of Alexandre III bridge, you can see a boat which name is Bistrot Alexandre III. On the right of this boat, there is a footbridge to access on the boat Ivoire.
    It is definitely worth things to experience, and we enjoyed it a lot. Very pleasant evening with friendly staff and a beautiful boat.
    Food is also delivered, but the water price is a bit overpriced.
    Tables for 2 are usually located closest to the windows and tables for 3 or 4 usually in the middle of the boat.

    A nice way to get an overview of Paris from the Seine river. Narration in two languages was good in some respects, but bad in the delay between information and point of interest. Also a little hard to understand at times.
