Paris: 1-Hour Seine Cruise departing from the Eiffel Tower - What the one-hour boat ride is really like

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 77,472 reviews · 1 hour · from $20Our pick

Review of the $20 Seine cruise from the Eiffel Tower, with landmark views, multilingual commentary, timing tips, crowds, and practical advice.

“This was such a great experience. Our guide was multilingual and did an awesome job pointing out major sites along the Seine. We took a cruise close to sunset and you had the option of sitting on deck or inside. The whole experience was super well organized and great value for what we paid. It was open-ended which allowed us to tour other sites around Paris and show up before the last scheduled cruise on NYE. It was such a wonderful experience and one that I'd totally suggest anyone touring Paris check out. I'd definitely go again!”

Also the cruise was nice and it departures every 30 minutes and last one hour! The departure place is closed by the effeil tower, at night is pretty beautiful.”

Add touches such as a bottle of wine for the table, sparkling wne and appetizer were unexpected. Couple all of this along with the beautiful Seine views and it made for a memorable afternoon in Paris!”
