Review the Bateaux Mouches Seine cruise in Paris, with Eiffel Tower views, flexible departures, practical tips, costs, and honest drawbacks.
“bought the tickets off VIATOR, went there and student in line for about 30 or 40 minutes when we got to the front of the line the vouchers weren’t tickets and they made us get in another line to get our tickets. Waited again for two more boats only to have them let a whole new group get on the boat before us. Standing room only for an hour. Terrible experience. Viotor won’t respond to us so money thrown away.”
Review of a Seine cruise and Eiffel Tower dinner at Le Bistro Parisien, with route details, food, timing advice, value, and practical tips.
“Dinner 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.”
Review of the Vedettes du Pont Neuf Seine cruise, with Paris landmarks, Eiffel Tower views, timing tips, access details, and honest value advice.
“It was a nice cruise. The host explaining the landmarks was hard to hear at the top of the boat. Also, when I first arrived at the meeting spot, there was no direction of where to go to get on the correct boat. Otherwise, I still really appreciated the cruise and the opportunity to see everything. We got some good pictures of the Eiffel Tower sparkling as our reservation was at 1845. We couldn’t see the notre dame due to the currents, but seeing everything else made it still worth the while”
By water, by hour, or by how many nights you want aboard.
