Beautiful cruise on the Seine, not to be missed. The only not insignificant problem is that the guide can only be heard on the lower level. Those who choose to take the cruise on the uncovered upper level hear practically nothing. Otherwise everything is okay

The view of Paris from the top of the Eiffel Tower is something you should not miss, as is the boat cruise on the Seine River.

It seemed to me that there is a need to meet at that point and walk up to the tower, the guide did not do a guided tour, it was at 19.30 and we arrived at 8, it was not enough for the boat, I said so and the guide told me that the schedule was longer, even with a reservation, not cheap, long queue to get on, luck was with us, no one else.

Everything actually worked perfectly from start to finish. We had Ami as our guide, who led us elegantly and entertainingly through the crowds of people who wanted to go up the tower on the long weekend. We didn't have to worry about anything and the waiting times went by so quickly. The boat tour afterwards also worked perfectly. This is how Paris is fun.

Well taken care of at the location indicated. Very handy that link to Google Maps. Also a nice guide with interesting stories (nice for during the hour-long queue!). Once at the top, however, there was little guidance. The guide did "walk around somewhere." So that still had little added value to the visit of the Eiffel Tower.

Booking the tickets were straight forward, the fact you had to collect the macaroons yourself from a particular shop could have been made clearer, saying that, the shop was even to find and the staff was aware of the situation. The meet-up of location stated Bay 3, there was a bay 3.1 and 3.2 - specifying which exact bay would have avoided any confusion. The staff at the location were extremely friendly and helpful, the cruise itself was good. The audio guide was very useful, I would definitely do this cruise again. Great work.

Taking a Seine River cruise in Paris was truly one of the highlights of my trip. From the moment we boarded, everything was smooth, well-organized, and inviting. The boat was modern and comfortable, with panoramic windows and an open-air deck that offered stunning views of the city. As we glided along the river, the sights were nothing short of breathtaking. Passing by iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, the Louvre, and the Musée d’Orsay while the sun set and the city lights began to sparkle was an absolutely magical experience. Seeing Paris from the water gives you a unique and romantic perspective that you simply can’t get on foot. The commentary on board was informative but not overwhelming, giving just enough background to enrich the journey. I especially appreciated the peaceful atmosphere—perfect for relaxing, taking photos, or simply soaking in the beauty of Paris. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning to the City of Light, I highly recommend taking a Seine cruise. It’s a timeless experience that captures the heart and soul of Paris in the most elegant way.

Ticketing online was easy. The cruise was great! I loved that all the seats were outward-facing so you (almost) never had to look over people. We did the dusk cruise in March and got the best of both worlds by seeing Paris in the daylight and lit up in the dark, too. Would have loved a bit more info on the bridges and a bit more time to take pics (Pont Alexandre, especially), but overall, would definitely do again!

Paris is without a doubt a wonderful city. From Montmarte, with its artistic alleys, to the Louvre Museum, to the Eiffel Tower lit up at night, every corner smells of art. Even the Orsay Museum located in the train station with paintings by Van Gogh, Renoir, the glass roof and its precious clock, an iconic symbol of French art, are part of this spectacular city . Skipping the queue and entering at the chosen time embellished the visit.

reviewer

The fast track tickets were wonderful to have! The Orsay was so very crowded that without them we would have been in line for hours. We chose not to use the audio guide we purchased. Again crowd size limited our ability to stop, look and listen. In the future I will book sooner and get a tour guide. Thanks to head out- the only one to get us last minute tickets into the Orsay !

The route allowed us to see the top sights in 2 hours. The river cruise rounded off the experience. The frequency of the buses is very short and so there were no waiting times. However, we did not receive a map or the offer of headphones. 🎧 We used the app for the audio guide, but this was a bit cumbersome. It was also difficult to identify the route in the app. All in all, however, we received exactly the offer we were looking for.

Just so nice to enjoy a delicious French meal with friends while sailing on the Seine and seeing several worthwhile monuments and buildings along the way. Without doubt to be repeated. The ticketing was just perfect. One point to mention we would have liked the table right up front in the middle; how can one be sure to reserve that table?

Sure, here's a review suggestion: ⸻ We had a wonderful experience at Bateaux Mouches. In addition to the exquisite food and the lovely atmosphere of the promenade, we would especially like to highlight the attention of the waiter who served us: he was super nice to us at all times, very attentive and professional. Undoubtedly, his treatment made the evening even more special. We would repeat without hesitation!

We also managed to get in a few minutes earlier than the time stipulated in the reservation, and this allowed us to cope better with the queue at the security checkpoints. The museum is really big and rich, although some rooms were closed for new installations. The visit lasted for more than 5 hours, which literally flew by between pavilions. I recommend visiting the museum in the morning when it is open, so as to avoid as much as possible the huge mass of people arriving throughout the day. The beauties admired were a balm to the eyes and a caress to the soul.

I loved everything. The food was extremely good, the cruise was really amazing, the service was really nice! Would recommend! 10/10

If you're visiting Paris and looking for a unique way to see the city, Bateaux-Mouches is one of the most iconic river cruise experiences available. Known for its large open-deck boats and panoramic views, Bateaux-Mouches offers visitors the chance to drift along the River Seine while taking in the most breathtaking sights of the French capital — all from the water.

A bit of history

The term "Bateau-Mouche" literally translates to “fly boat,” named after the area of Lyon where these types of boats were originally manufactured. But today, Bateaux-Mouches refers specifically to the Compagnie des Bateaux-Mouches, founded in 1949 by Jean Bruel. He had a vision: to show off Paris from its most scenic route — the Seine. His company was the first to launch guided river cruises for tourists, and over 70 years later, Bateaux-Mouches remains a symbol of Parisian charm and discovery.
