Making memories
This was one of the most memorable experiences we had in Paris. The hosts and waiters were very attentive and sat us at a perfect spot. They paced the meal perfectly, and the food was delicious. The staff were very friendly. My daughter and I loved this dinner cruise. Highlight of our vacation.

A very commercial experience. The food was good, the service was very good, but don't make a special request, you may or may not get what you requested, and the music was great. If you need to leave by taxi the fares are very expensive and not enough cabs are waiting when you disembark. Be sure you are one of the first off the ship if you want a taxi.

Dinner with a view
Dinner on the Seine was a great way to have a good dinner (attentive service and excellent food) along with views of many of the important historical sites along the river. We paid extra to have a window table and did get one as promised, but it was close to a bulkhead that restricted our forward view. The entertainment was first class (piano and violin) without being too interruptive.

Great food and service. Fun experience for our first night in Paris.

Live music (piano and violin duo) was too loud for the space and not great.

The boat was very nice and seeing the sights at night was beautiful. The food was average. The beverage choices where good. There was a bit of a smell back by the bathrooms so I was glad we were not sitting there. Overall I would recommend

Romance Remembered

A terrific experience! We did this on our honeymoon, decades ago & it was a special as we remembered.
The sights of Paris at night from the Siene are unparalleled. Food was delicious, staff was top notch and the ambiance romantic and charming.
A Must Do!

Fantastic

Very well organised, romantic, lovely food with beautiful entertainment from a pianist and violinist. We would most certainly book this again.

My only constructive advice is, to maybe offer a beer. We don't all drink wine and to have a couple of beers would of made it even more enjoyable.

An Exciting Way To See Paris!
Definitely a very popular activity in Paris! Hundreds of people accessing the area to participate in one of the cruises offered; One needs to be aware of what line to get in and ask questions! We were very happy to select the upgraded dinner cruise! It was late for us, but we’re old! Everything was well planned and executed, the cruise was beautiful, the meal was well presented and the quality of the food was average. We would have loved more alcohol options and/or a few better wines to consider and pay for additionally if requested. The service and wait staff was very good and our waiter was great!

A perfect romantic evening
Honestly, how could anyone have a bad meal on the Seine. The boat was beautifully appointed. Our welcome by the crew was genuine. I had asked for something special for my wife’s birthday, and they served a dessert with a Roman candle spewing! The food was good, the views were incredible (pay for the upgraded table). The service was professional and accommodating. I highly recommend this for the most romantic evening possible in Paris.

A Delightful First Night in Paris
The dinner cruise was a delightful experience from start to finish. Once we got to the boat, my grandson and I were seated at a table from which we could see everything as it passed by. Since this was his first night in Paris, it was great to see his delight as seeing the many sights that we did. The food was very good - we each had the chateaubriand, which was cooked perfectly. The first course and the dessert were excellent as well. Service was excellent, and we had plenty of time to enjoy the passing show. Thanks to Come to Paris and to Bateau-Mouches for an excellent evening/

This was a very nice cruise. The food was good the scenery along the Seine was very good. You get a whole new perspective on the sights from the boat. Of course the Eiffel Tower Light up at night is spectacular from the boat. I highly recommend this excursion.

My friend and I enjoyed the Bateaux-Mouches Dinner Cruise. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Our waiter was particularly nice. The views along the Seine River were amazing. It was exciting to see the city light up at dark. The ambiance was elegant. My only complaint is that dinner itself was just mediocre.

A pleasant evening.

Loved our dinner cruise, the food was fantastic and the view along the cruise were amazing, we were warmly greeted on board and shown to our table by a very friendly smiling host ... but...we did not see our wait staff for about 20 minutes and were only attended to because i waved madly to get some attention. We ordered table still and sparkling water which was served warm as was the white wine,we asked for a glass of ice which took 10 minutes to arrive. Service was very slow.
There was not enough wait staff for the number of guests on board and the cruise was not of full occupancy.
The genteman who was attending our table was very professional and pleasant and apologised for the delays and we could see he was doing the best he could.
The menu selections offered were good and the food was delicous.
Over all we enjoyed the cruise but for the money paid it could be better.

The experience from the time I made reservations on line to the actual cruise was flawless. The food was very good and the service as well. There were four of us and we only got one bottle of champagne while the menu said one bottle for two people. But, one was enough for us. Keep up the good work!

The bateau- mouche was big and spacious, never felt cramped. The scenery was beautiful but trying to match the monuments with the guide was almost impossible. There should be a voice saying the name of the places as we pass them.
The food was very tasty and good portions. A shame the entrée of fois gras was so cold and the white wine was at room temperature.

A Dinner Cruise to be remembered

The ambient, the athmosphere, the staff, the food,.. - as the name is already saying: "excellent".
Me and my fiancee, are going to keep this experience as a very special one. I would have recomended it to anyone asking me, what to do in Pariz.

Bateaux-mouches: A Blend of Magic and Heritage in the Heart of Paris.

Ah, the riverboats, those iconic vessels that glide majestically along the Seine! I can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia as I reminisce about the moments spent watching the lights of Paris reflect on the dark waters of our beautiful river. These boats, true witnesses to the city’s history, are much more than just a means of transportation; they offer a unique way to discover the capital from a different perspective.

My experience aboard these boats is always filled with magic. The Seine, winding between historic monuments, provides an irresistible view of iconic spots like the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, and the Louvre Museum. Each cruise becomes a poetic journey, punctuated by fascinating anecdotes about Paris's glorious past.

While the riverboats undoubtedly attract a multitude of tourists, it’s important to remember that they are also popular among Parisians seeking a moment of tranquility amid the city's hustle and bustle. Sitting outside with a drink in hand, admiring the slowly passing scenery, offers an unparalleled sense of escape. It's also a chance to share a meal while cruising, a culinary experience that combines French gastronomy with the exceptional backdrop of the Seine.

However, it is crucial to remain aware of the ecological issues surrounding the operation of these vessels. The challenge lies in preserving the beauty of our environment while continuing to welcome visitors. The riverboats, enchanting symbols of Paris, must become advocates for sustainable tourism. In short, these floating vessels represent the beauty and richness of our heritage, and I can only recommend them to anyone looking to breathe in the soul of Paris.
