Discover other sightseeing cruises in Paris
The Vedettes de Paris have perfected the art of the sightseeing cruise at the foot of the Eiffel Tower with a touch of elegance and friendliness, but river trip enthusiasts will want to compare this experience with the other Parisian companies. The Seine cruise from the legendary Pont Neuf, for example, offers a unique boarding point in the centre of Paris, ideal for then heading to the Sainte-Chapelle or Notre-Dame. Travellers wanting detailed multilingual audio commentary will prefer the panoramic boats from Port de la Bourdonnais. To share the moment with children and give them an interactive experience on the water, the lively family version of the cruise is a safe bet. For heritage, the pioneering Bateaux-Mouches company and its famous Pont de l'Alma pier remains a must. For busy sightseeing schedules, the Batobus ticket, a hop-on hop-off shuttle between the main monuments, is remarkably efficient. And for the curious who want to venture off the Seine, there are two options: the trip from the Musée d'Orsay to the Parc de la Villette via the Canal Saint-Martin or the Canauxrama cruise behind the scenes of old Paris's waterways, two getaways that reveal a radically different side of the capital.

Good tour
Great tour, although we had a glass of champagne included and nobody offered it to us. So we didn't have any at all. The guide was great but sadly we thought that she wasn't giving us a lot of infos on the monuments except the name. Glad we had a tour guide book. The start was a bit weird, we waited by the entrance as per asked and were taken to another boat after, the lady with her walkie talky didn't really know what was going on to be honest.
