Review of Paris’s one-hour Seine cruise from the Eiffel Tower, with landmark views, multilingual commentary, prices, timing, queues, and practical tips.

“It covered all the main places there are to visit. Even though there were many people on the boat the way it's set out you don't feel like anyone is getting in your way when you're taking pictures. Unfortunately I couldn't hear the guide because the sound wasn't great”

Pair a guided Louvre visit with a flexible Seine cruise, seeing the Mona Lisa, Eiffel Tower, and Paris from two classic viewpoints.

See Paris by open-top Big Bus, with flexible stops, audio commentary, WiFi, optional Seine cruise, and Arc de Triomphe entry.

“The female driver was on her phone the entire time she was driving. She did not have both hands on the wheel as she was holding her phone. She should not be driving for the company. She was screaming at whoever she was talking to. She was so loud that even with my volume high, it was hard to hear the commentary on the ear phones. It was raining so we didn’t want to get off at a random stop. Our plan was to ride and see what sites we would like to come back to.

Review of Paris Batobus, a 24 or 48-hour Seine pass with nine stops near the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Notre-Dame, and more.

“The Batobus 48 hour ticket was an excellent way to enjoy getting around Paris, especially in the hot weather! Make sure you check the direction of the journey and get familiar with which side of the river you need to be to get to where you need to go, but once you sort that, it is all good and a great way to view the sights through this incredible city!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 5,205 reviews · 75 minutes - 2 hours · from $100

Sail beneath Paris bridges, enjoy a three-course dinner, and see the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, and Notre Dame from the Seine.

“Instructions on the meeting point were excellent and the check in process went smoothly. Definitely recommend to at least leave from your hotel approx. 40 min prior to arrive at the suggested 30 minutes early by the tour company due to traffic. If first time in Paris, I’d recommend booking the package that includes the window seating (comes with Champagne) to get best views of the city and Eiffel Tower, while sailing on the Seine River. The food was delicious, onboard staff attentive and the live music was good adding to an overall great experience.”
