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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Very nice and friendly, the views were amazing. You must go for it and you can use their tickets at anytime. The boat was very nice and clean

    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.

    Great trip. The ship is split with other tours but your section is closed off and at the front so it’s really never an issue. There are indoor and outdoor spaces to enjoy the views and the host was great. It’s more drinking than learning about champagne but I think that’s what we all were there for.

    If your dream is beautiful views of the Eiffel Tower and the louvre while enjoying different champagne this trip is for you!

    A lovely way to end a day exploring Paris. As a solo traveller I was not intimidated by being on my own, very attentive staff, lovely meal.

    We did enjoy the boat tour as Paris is a beautiful city, but it was a little disappointing as we could not hear the commentary at all.

    Lovely cruise on the Seine, took in some good sights. Nice big boat with lots of space and mood lighting so you get the best views.

    We sat downstairs on the far side of the boat which has a sliding door to open so you can see without getting too cold. Very good for the price.

    9 locks just many too many. Sitting around for a long time looking at not very much! Not enough time on the Seine itself. Guide was excellent
