It was easy to book. Great view of all the famous landmarks. Busy but enough space for all. Loved the e experience, great guide to download but maybe a bit of commentary , would have helped too? The only thing that spoiled it was other visitors as they would not sit down so struggled with some photos as in the way

The view of Paris in the evening was very beautiful, especially when the Eiffel Tower began to light up. It was of course very crowded and almost everyone was up on the sun deck. You have to like crowds. Afternoon trips are less crowded.

The queue was quite long but it worked out well for it being darker by time we got to the cruise, so every where was lit up . It was amazing seeing Eifle tower all lit up became quite chilly coming back if sit on top but just take a coat or move to the indoor hour .This was one of the best things we booked and good value for money would definitely recommend doing this .

It was all so easy! Booking online, following the directions to the pier, finding the perfect seat (down below and outside-perfect) The one hour fit into our schedule perfectly and covered all the important sites. It is so great to see Paris from the perspective of the river as well! - and the price is extreamly resonable!

Thanks for the option of river cruise with macaron tasting. Instructions get to the river cruise were simple and easy to follow and was conveniently sent to WhatsApp. The cruise was delightful with beautiful views to witness. Highly recommended activity to enjoy your evening in Paris. We got the taste yummy macarons from Makdamia. We even tasted their hot chocolate. Their hot chocolate was yummy and authentic. Recommended to spend some time at the shop to buy good quality handmade chocolates.

The cruise was nice, a great way to see Paris from a different perspective. The waiting line was long, but it progressed relatively quickly.

I liked everything, the service is very good. I only recommend that they cancel or correct the gift of chocolate or macaron because it seems to me a mockery or at least give that information before and not that you find out on the ship itself. I consider that this is a mistake and does not favor them. Regards

The small St Martin canal has a special flair. A bit spooky but very interesting under the Bastille. Different from the Seine, but a great experience. 9 locks to the Rondette de la Vilette.

Our tour Guide, Sol, was a 10/10! Her english was clear and easy to understand. Her enthusiasm was great! She was patient, informed, with an engaging delivery of the information. She was eager to answer any questions, made sure our group of 7 was kept together, patiently acted as photographer for everyone in the group, and provided a great history of the tower. The boat ride was pleasant, but with much less info provided about the buildings along the way.

Simple online booking, although very negative reviews for headout can be read on the net. I risked it anyway, due to positive experience and YES!!!!!!!, the booked guided tours Eiffel Tower to the top and boat tour on the Seine were a mega experience. What I would particularly like to mention is that after booking I received super good instructions on how everything would proceed. Right down to the last detail and what can I say, that makes a city tour relaxed. Thanks to headout!!!👍 By the way, many thanks to Nihad, our tour guide that day, who managed to bridge the waiting time in a friendly, funny and informative way! THANK YOU!!!

The actual tour was good, the guide was nice. The only issue that affected our mood was with the Headout email confirmation and app system - as we couldn't retrieve our tickets and were stressed for a day and night that we might have been just scammed.. fortunately the personell of the Paris Tockets office helped me and issued the ticket on the spot on the time of our tour, but till then we were uncertain if we were just scammed..

Although i had the eiffel tour completed in time (daniela as guide was good), there was an issue with the river cruise. I spent more than 2 hours going back and forth, talking with the support via the chat and trying to get valid tickets, something that ruined the rest of my schedule during that day. Also, many times the chat was timing out due to no action happening, making me enter the login details from the beginning. The good part was that someone from support was on the chat, even after some minutes delay.

Checkin was a little confusing; almost missed getting the information on how to access the boat cruise. Once the tour started, our Guide was excellent and shared some great info about the Eiffel Tower. Liked that he shared it all and then we were free to explore on our own. Line-ups for elevator were as expected, so be prepared to stand for awhile.

Everything was on time, our guide Sonia gave us a very calm experience and united the group, which was very different, she was very kind and gave us a lot of information not only about the tower but also about the city of Paris, I loved it!

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.

The courtesy of the bus drivers, always kind and attentive to the passengers. The itinerary that covered almost all the main points of 'interest. The very good app with the real-time location of the buses and directions to the nearest stop. I had already used Tootbus with satisfaction in Brussels, in Paris I had confirmation of the quality of the service: definitely better than the well-known competitor with the red buses.

The bus ride was all right except the volume control on the minijack system didn't work. Neither did I like the repeating and often belated messages on the loudspeaker about getting our cameras out because something great was about to appear. On the opposite end of the scale was the guide on the boat trip. She was outstanding!!!! Interchanging constantly between English and French, with solid information in a pleasant voice and the occasional funny remark all along the voyage. She spoke more or less constantly, byt not for one moment did we think it was too much or uninteresting. Impressive!

Good experience, this hop on hop off system allows you to visit the city over the course of a day, which is really appreciated when you're here for just a weekend. Explanations in the headphones in several languages and a version adapted for children, unfortunately a lot of music and the explanations start too quickly when the bus starts, we just had time to put on the headphones!

Don't leave Paris without doing this... This is one of the greatest experiences we had while we're in Paris on our honeymoon. From the minute you bought the boat to the minute you leave. It is nothing short of magnificent. The boat is immaculate. The waiters are fantastic. The food was sensational. The wines were great, and the entertainment was exceptional. I could not fault this experience. Well done to all the staff and crew.

Best time to take a Paris boat tour

Generally, a Paris boat tour is suited to all weather conditions thanks to its closed, air-conditioned boats. But to make the most of your trip to Paris, here's when you should take a Paris Boat Tour:

April to October - These months being the popular season, boat companies have frequent departures and the warm weather makes it pleasant to enjoy the cruise. During windy seasons, you can appreciate the beauty of the river and the cruise experience from your closed boat.

At night - You can watch Paris come to life as the city starts to light up and shimmer like gold around you. Additionally, the first and last departures of the day are usually less crowded and can be a wonderful experience if you're visiting during the high tourist season.

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!

Very good. Abi was friendly and polite. Explained everything well. Perhaps it would be good if tours could be given in German or translated.

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.
