Lovely experience
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

First time going to the show and found it to be very colorful and creative. It is a topless show so I'd def not take any kids to this. We did the show without the dinner and it was amazing. Great way to spend a night in Paris. It is a bit of a ride if you stay by the river so plan your time wisely with Paris traffic.

Great simple river cruise around Paris. It was long enough to see everything and short enough not to be bored. Saw all the highlights and did the later ride so we got back to the eiffel tower sparkling. I love it that you don't need to make a time slot rsvp but showup anytime during your day's reservation.
