Either buy your tickets online or at least print out a discount to take the ride...otherwise it seems too pricey for me. We enjoyed taking the ride after a lot of walking and sight seeing and they do have commentary....beware if you are tired it is sleep inducing. More

A cruise down the Seine is a great way to see the city, but I would not recommend this company. The chars are flimsy and very close together, it is decorated with these cheesy flower arches that serve no purpose but to block your view, and the guides French accents SO STRONG that you cannot understand anything she says, so...

After a days sight-seeing, if was lovely to sit down and watch the scenery pass by. We booked our tickets online which was only 8 Euros instead of 13! There's toilets and a bar on the dock so you can have a drink while you wait for your cruise, there are no facilities on board though so make sure you... More

The boat ride was as advertised. We saw nice views of the major sites from the Seine river. The seats on this boat were so closely packed in I could hardly sit. Luckily it was mostly empty and I could stick them through to the next aisle in front. The young lady doing the narration was nice but we couldn't... More

We were disappointed with the cruise; there were hundreds of people on the boat - simply too many people, most whom totally ignored the poor lady giving the commentary. More

Beautiful spring afternoon and the brochure covers the broad strokes but nothing to write home about. Talk about phoning it in. The guide was worthless as a guide but after a while it got so bad it became sort a train wreak entertainment. In fairness it was Easter weekend and the 20 something kid may have been a backup employee... More

If booked online in advanced - only 8 Euro pp, instead of 13 euro. Just book it and print it. Cruise is every hour. We went for 7pm ( End of March) it was perfect for sunset! More

It's well worth journeying along the Seine at evening, taking in the illuminated sights of the capital and drinking your own wine. We went on a Discover Walks free guided tour earlier in the day and got a discount for Vedettes du Pont Neuf (should have been €13 but instead €4.50- bargain!). It was easy to find, just go to...

If you book online you get a great discount, being in Paris without a printer we payed the full fare. We had an awesome time on the boat & saw all the places of interest that you can explore later on. Amazing views of the Eiffel Tower & the museums. Sometimes it's difficult to understand the guy on the mic. More
