- Navigate7233880 contributionsBOOK THIS TOUR!!! Nothing but magic!Honestly, it’s a big deal travelling to Paris solo - especially taking a very romantic boat ride through The Siene for dinner. However, I had the most magical evening. There was so much love all around me and I felt very part of it all. It was a tad daunting to be on my own, but I genuinely felt so looked after and loved. Amine looked after me this evening and he was very attentive, happy and all round lovely. I had the BEST evening and I highly HIGHLYYYYYY recommend this boat ride! The musicians were incredible and made me tear up a couple of times. The boat slows down by the Eiffel Tower a couple of times and was perfectly timed after dinner for the sparkling lights. Definitely book this tour. I did the VIP table and loved the champagne. Being upstairs and seeing all of the sites was amazing. I would score this tour 6/5 😍 amazing!!! Also! I am gluten free and they catered for me and bought me out some gluten free bread!Written 23 January 2025

- Travel548871230950 contributionsA wonderfully experienceEverything was really good, great service from momo. Definitely worth the price. All the plates were really good, thanks to the cooks. I would have only one recommendation, the tagliolini must be "al dente" for a better experience, but I also understand that it was not a easy service.Written 4 January 2025

Our waiter Salim was so attentive and very helpful with my mum’s gluten and dairy allergies. The food was fantastic along with the live music and views. We would highly recommend this experience if you are visiting Paris!Written 26 December 2024
- traveljack50 contributionsBeautiful EveningWonderful evening watching the beautiful sites of Paris as we ate dinner. The live music was excellent and really set the tone for the evening. Service was also good. The view of the Eiffel Tower from the rooftop was breathtaking.Written 25 December 2024
- SupremeRulerOTU0 contributionsPleasant But Not GourmandNice dinner cruise with options for table placement, drinks, food. Pros: - Attentive, friendly staff. - Big windows for a good view in the lower dinner deck. Open deck up top had the best views, but impractical for dinner if the weather is cold or inclement. - Choice of window or interior seating, with different prices, when reserving. - Great live music. DJ music mercifully delayed until the last 20 minutes of the cruise. - Decent food, well presented. Cons: - No option for a window table without the cost of a bottle of champagne (at least on the site I used). - Moderately low quality of champagne. - Food was acceptable, but below the standard I expected given the prices was more than double other cruises. - Charge for other drinks beyond the smallish bottle of water. Again, for the price I didn't expect to pay for more water. - Interior lights reflect off the windows significantly diminishing the view from the enclosed dining area. In summary: significantly overpriced. Go with another dinner cruise.Written 22 December 2024

The experience is rather pleasant but not worth the price paid, i.e. 225 euros for 3 people including a child!! At this price you can dine in a Michelin-starred restaurant, especially since you have to add drinks (excluding bottled water included in the price), which is almost 300 euros. The small sofas on the roof are accessible throughout the cruise but at the end of the meal they do not even accommodate 1/3 of the participants so if you are served last it is impossible to get a place. Unique menu which is barely worth 30/35 euros in a restaurant.

Amazing river cruise! We timed it so that we would be on the boat whilst the sun was setting and it did not disappoint. The views are incredible, especially from the top deck. The food and wine were lovely, worth every penny compared to other cruises we had seen on the Seine.

Excellent experience despite a disastrous first impression!
The barge is moored at the foot of the Maison de la radio. To board a friendly staff who validates the reservation. In the middle of these professionals, a loudmouthed boss who shouts to direct passengers to a line or to direct his staff. Later this gentleman will be openly annoyed by guests who wish to be together even though they have reserved separately (we understand the complicated logistics but the annoyance can be contained!). Finally, we will find him during the cruise slumped on the sofas of the deck, staring at the passengers instead of giving them space.
Apart from that, the cruise is pleasant. Very decent food for the price. The prices for extras are affordable. Special mention for the roof top (where it is possible to dine for an additional fee). The servers are friendly and efficient.

Small boat, with departure/ returning point slightly out of the way, somewhat unnerving at night for anyone vulnerable or women alone.
We had window seat offering good view, unfortunately no commentary to tell you where you were or what to look our for. For disappointing, small portions, average quality.
Personally, don't waste your money paying for a meal here, book on one of the larger tour boats ,with commentary, and have a meal in a restaurant or the street food cente by the Tower, which is both better value and quality to eat.

I am very disappointed with this company. I booked for 3 people on July 14, 2024. The price was 69 euros per person on their website. I even had their customer service confirm the price over the phone. They told me after paying (and receiving the invoice) that the price was an error. We go from 69 euros to 199 euros per person!!!! They now want to cancel my reservation or for me to pay the difference. It is unacceptable ! To anyone this has happened to, don't hesitate to contact me. I am launching a procedure via my lawyer against this company with questionable practices.

No tour of the planned circuit! Visit Truffaut, France television and TF1 but not the Eiffel Tower, our lady Paris...
Regrettable service, spoons served in the washing basket.
Heating burning legs.
The tables are tight and therefore the environment is noisy.
Cleanliness: Dirty window + spider web
Food: A good meal overall, too bad that the dish is served on cold plate and that we can not choose another dessert. Serving a cold coffee at 6€.
The service is not up to the price paid (€170)

To flee ! During the reservation no choice was offered to us regarding the seats, arrived on the boat we are at the top packed like sardines no atmosphere upstairs, you have to be VIP (without knowing it when booking) to have background music (accompanied by blankets to protect against the cold!!!)
Meal served in 30 minutes, starter/main course/dessert!!!
The final bouquet, when enjoying the moment of the Eiffel Tower, Mr. runs after people to collect drinks, and we had the impression of being numbers rather than customers!!!
I do not recommend at all

Bonjour,
Je suis très étonné de votre retour.
A part que vous étiez mis en terrasse de façon aléatoire, et que personne ne s'en plaint, bien au contraire.
Vous étiez 4 personnes et personne d'autre à coté de vous donc pas du tout serrés. On vous a demandé à plusieurs reprises si tout se passait bien et du coup vous avez acquiescé et vos enfants étaient ravis. Je ne vois pas de quelle ambiance vous parlez car dans la salle d'en bas nous avons en effet un fond musical qui existe aussi en terrasse. Cependant, il me semble que le responsable avait omis de le mettre en route ce soir-là.
Concernant l'encaissement, pour un procès qui favorise le client, vous l'avez malheureusement détourné en notre défaveur.
En effet, nous encaissons en terrasse parce qu'il s'agit d'un moment privilégié pour le client et que nous ne voulons pas l'obliger de revenir à sa table.
Par ailleurs, nous sommes obligés de procéder à l'encaissement avant le retour à quai et le débarquement de l'ensemble de nos clients.
C'est la raison pour laquelle nous allons de personne à personne en terrasse car vous êtes bien installés sur vos fauteuils et nous ne souhaitons pas vous déranger.
Je n'avais donc pas l'impression que vous n'ayez pas passé une bonne soirée car votre mari et vos enfants étiez ravis.
Peut-être étiez vous dans un mauvais jour.
Cordialement.

We booked a VIP dinner this February 16, 2024 on the boat Théo, as indicated in the announcement with the photos, the boat supposedly had a problem, and we were warned on the day that another boat had been planned replacement, while being on board we asked the reason? They explained to us that the Théo was no longer sailing that it was normal that they had been using the “replacement” boat for a while, so the photos were distorted, the VIP area had nothing to do with the photos, tables 20cm apart. The prices are for a coke €6 and a cocktail €14, and the meals are very sparsely provided.
Apart from that you actually eat on a boat and see the Eiffel Tower 👌

Go to the barge site directly and you will save money.
On tripodvisor €174 in VIP with half a bottle of water for 2 is a lot to pay.
The meal is not bad but nothing fancy, the lights remained on from start to finish so no view of Paris because of too much reflection.
A coke for €6, a glass of low-end wine for €8…. Anything.
People are all asking to be placed in the windows without having paid the extra so why bother!!!!
In short, very disappointed with this experience which I will not repeat.

Chère Madame,
Je vous remercie d'avoir choisi le bateau le Théo pour votre diner croisière sur la Seine.
Nous prenons note de vos remarques concernant l'expérience vécue à bord qui nous semblent d'ailleurs extrêmement virulentes.
Je vous invite à consulter les différentes offres proposées par nos confrères afin de pouvoir peut être les comparer à la Trattoria en Seine. Vous remarquerez qu'avec notre expérience vous bénéficiez du meilleur rapport qualité prix.
Concernant le repas, sachez que notre chef met un point d'honneur sur la fraicheur des produits ainsi que sur les saveurs de l'Italie que vous avez certainement pu retrouver dans vos assiettes.
Nous espérons pouvoir vous retrouver à bord une prochaine fois. Ce sera l'occasion de vous faire changer d'avis.
Vous souhaitant une excellente journée.

Smiling staff, no surprises or disappointments on the plate, however for the romantic atmosphere: 0
An extremely noisy table of 10 people on board, and especially the interior light not turned off at the request of a single customer it seems (around fifty people on board)
So much so that the cruise has no magic or interior atmosphere (there are, however, candles on the tables and small colored lights on the walls for subdued lighting)
nor exterior view ambiance since the night lights do not stand out with this white light ambiance (see photo)
For the experience find another boat or maybe for lunch otherwise.

Look up from google map need to walk 50 mins but read a review and look up on the map it just opposite. Is there any pathway from the bridge on top at Radio de France or Bus Stop at Pont De Grenelle go down to the meeting point ?
Written 29 June 2023
Entrance doesn't look like much but yes, it's across the street from the building on the water side. You walk through an unlit tunnel to get to the boat. It was a tad confusing initially.
