Itinerary
Take a cruise on the Seine River, the most beautiful avenue of Paris!
Departure from the feet of the Eiffel Tower
As you approach the Pont Alexandre III, you will see the Dome des Invalides on the right side. This monument houses the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte.
This particularly beautiful bridge was a gift to France from Tsar Alexander III. It's a wonderful experience to pass underneath this structure aboard the fully glass-enclosed boat.
This characteristic building houses the French parliament. Have a look at it while you savor the flavors of the French cuisine.
Splendid building of the famous Orsay Museum and its surrowndings
You will enjoy nice views to this famous quarter while you cruise on the Seine.
When passing under Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge of Paris, lift you head and admire the sculptures
See Notre Dame Cathedral from the river
Enjoy the specific atmosphere of this area when you pass by
The Ile Saint Louis is the heart of the historical Paris. You will have interesting views to its typical architecture from the water.
The Pont Marie is a very special bridge. If you pass under this bridge, close your eyes and make a wish. It is told that your wish will come true before next year.
The Conciergerie is a very remarkable landmark. It is the place where the King Louis XVI and the Queen Marie-Antoinette where imprisoned before they were executed.
See the Louvre, the ancient Royal Castle - one of the longest buildings in the world
From the boat, you will see the Egyptian obelisk. The Place de la Concorde used to play a big role during the time of the French revolution, as the guillotine was placed there.
Admire the amazing architecture with its glass coupole! This building hosts exceptional exhibitions and events. During the Olympic games in 2024, it hosted a part of the competitions.
The bridge between the Place de la Concorde and the Assemblée Nationale was built from stones of the Bastille prison which was destroyed after the French revolution.

Nice tour seeing all Different buildings of Paris Place is clean and accommodates a lot of people Easy to make reservations
A laid-back and relaxing way to spend an early evening before dinner. The cruise is about one hour up and down the river. Conveniently leaves from the bottom of the Eiffel Tower. The boats are clean and large. It was enjoyable. We planned it so that we would incorporate this into our Eiffel Tower trip, which I would recommend as it’s located literally at the base of the tower and then you can go to dinner after We were also unable to make it on the day of our booking, and the company allowed us to go the following day and honor the tickets which was appreciated greatly
We had a wonderful stay here. The apartment was very clean, spacious, and comfortable, with three bedrooms and all the utilities we needed for our stay. The neighborhood was quiet, safe, and convenient. Grocery stores are just a few minutes’ walk away, and there is a fitness center and an M14 train station right next to the building, making it very easy to get around. The host was also excellent with communication—responsive, helpful, and easy to work with throughout our stay. We highly recommend this place to future guests and would be happy to stay here again!
Lovely trip down the Seine seeing lots of the main sights- large, comfortable boat with helpful staff. My 10 year old daughter enjoyed it too!
I end up waisting money and did not ride since waiting line was over 2 hours long and no fast track, what time should be listed so people can make it better informed Choice
Good points: queue went down extremely quickly, we didn’t have to wait long at all. Meet point clear signage. Good views of various landmarks Boat spacious. Bad points: Benches on the top deck of the boat are very uncomfortable. You only Notre Dame on the way up so if you’re on the wrong side of the boat it would be nice if they’d told us we wouldn’t see it on the way back! Commentary was ok.
It was fine. And maybe good if you have a hard time walking. But for sure the experience is much better walked. I would not waste my time doing again. No complaint at all to the company. Just that I did not find it a good way to spend my time or money.
The history and the views and when you come close it’s magic the tower it self so much to see and such a beautiful history how all came together, the guide girl was so captivating listening to her as she explained it so beautifully,
Staff very friendly and helpful. Tourxwas great. We did an 8 pm your on 8/3. On the return attended the market. Lots of grat booths of crafts and food. The Eiffel tower twinkling at 10 pm.
It was too crowded, long wait first to board then had to stand to enjoy night time breeze .. that was all to the cruise … not many structures to discuss in the commentary .. if u are looking just to sit and relax and enjoy evening ( we did night time after sunset in summer so around 9 pm) recommend to either be first 50 to Board or sit on the ground level in balcony … but not much to learn from this cruise unlike London or newyork or Chicago as in comparison!
