Customer Reviews
We booked the Bateaux Parisiens Cruise Tour. Booking was really quick and easy. We managed to buy the tickets right at the lastminute, skipping both the queue at the automated ticket station, and the queue of other cruisers who'd bought tickets there.
The tour itself was a good way to see the Notre Dame, but unfortunately the audio guide was working intermittently which meant we missed most of the narration, meaning that some of the value was lost.
Easy to book online and directions easy to follow once in Paris. Straight forward download of tickets onto a mobile device (even for me!)
Cruise was a highlight of our trip for me weather was on our side and was able to see everything while travelling along the river. Staff were polite and the voiceovers were instructive for each building. Would highly recommend
Really lovely little river cruise. Only downside was couldn’t get the audio guide to work.
Lots of seats with a good view of everything
