The only complaint was that the WiFi on the boat was never strong enough for us to load the program they had us use their QR code to get. Other than that it was a great trip and I was able to get some good photos of Notre Dame from the water—we had not been able to get near it all week and this was a bucket list item we had pretty much given up on. I’d recommend this tour highly.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear that you had a great time on the Seine River Cruise and were able to check Notre Dame off your bucket list with that perfect view! We’re sorry about the WiFi issue on the boat and appreciate your patience. Hopefully, it didn’t take away from the overall experience too much. Thanks for the recommendation, and we hope you get to explore even more hidden gems in Paris next time! 🚤📸
Totally ruined by Instagram Influencers (or people like that) who posed against the rails for photos taken by their entourage and got in everyones' way of the views. One eastern person and his "photographer" friends even asked sightsee-ers sitting there happily enjoying the view, to move out the way of their screenshot. This happened multiple times and there were no crew to stop this. People also stood blocking views, notable people who later turned out to be bus tour guides (!), who had cameras on high poles and they stood there blocking everyone's views. Will not recommend this to anyone if this sort of behaviour goes unchecked.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that your tour was disrupted by such behavior. We understand how frustrating it can be when others interfere with your enjoyment. We take your feedback seriously and will work on improving the management and oversight to ensure a more pleasant experience for all guests. We appreciate your input and hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future.
Not impressed with the is tour. Captain barely came on and when he did very little information was shared about the city. Guided tour for listening was stupid facts and very cheesy. Also too bad we couldn’t sit up top.
Dear Libby_D, we're sorry to hear that the tour didn't meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback regarding the commentary and seating arrangements, and we'll take it into account to improve the experience. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
When ticket says a time, it doesn’t mean anything. Everyone waits in the same line to get onto the cruise. The staff is rude and will split up families. I would rather visit the monuments then taking the cruise.
We’re sorry to hear that your experience was not up to expectations. We appreciate your feedback and will address the issues you raised regarding ticketing, staff behavior, and seating arrangements. Your comments are valuable as we strive to improve our services. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Did not receive our tickets did not open the app nor could they do it at the Louvre and I had to re-purchase tickets
We’re really sorry to hear about the issues you faced with your tickets. That’s definitely not the experience we want for our customers. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we’ll work to address the issues with the app and ticketing process. Thank you for your feedback, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future.
The communication to get access to the boat at the correct dock was poor. I spent 30 minutes walking up and down phoning the contact for information I had previously requested and was advised different things by the person on the phone and then by different persons at different docks. I had made requests for information over several months and questions were not answered. We almost missed the cruise even though we were there initially 30 minutes before departure. We consequently arrived just before departure with limited seating left. We felt like cattle. The commentary in English was limited yet had specified that we wanted a cruise with English. What could and should have been great, was less than orindary.
We’re really sorry to hear about the issues you encountered with communication and seating. It’s frustrating when you’ve made efforts to get the information you need and still face confusion. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll work to improve the clarity of instructions and ensure better customer service moving forward. We understand how important these details are, and we truly appreciate you sharing your experience.
I would have used a different provider than Viator. The man looking to see the qr code with me contacted Viator and the person kept telling me to get the wrong code from the app. I let him know the boat was leaving in 3 minutes and he said he’d get me the qr code in 10 minutes. Terrible experience.
Dear Darlene_S, we're very sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how frustrating this must have been, especially with the timing. Your feedback is valuable, and we will work on improving communication to avoid such issues in the future. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Boating past important buildings and great view of bridges. Ability to be inside the boat or outside on deck.
Thank you for your review! We're so glad you enjoyed the scenic views of Paris from the Seine. Cruising past iconic buildings and bridges really does offer a unique perspective of the city! It's great that you had the option to choose between being inside or outside to take in the sights. We hope the experience added a memorable touch to your Paris adventure! 🚤🌉
Great views of the Eiffel tower, Musee D'Orsay, Louvre and more. There are covered seats in case it rains and a more extensive audioguide that can be accessed scanning a QR code.
It sounds like the **Paris City Tour by Seine River Cruise** really delivered on all fronts! The views of iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Musée d'Orsay, and the Louvre must have been stunning. It's great that the cruise had covered seating for the rain and a detailed audio guide via QR code—it’s always nice to have that flexibility to learn more on your own terms. Perfect for a quick but comprehensive Paris experience! Thanks for sharing your review!
Great little cruise along the river. Totally worth the amount paid. We did this as a family of five with and 18, 15 and 11 year old. All three enjoyed the trip.
It’s so great to hear that the **Paris City Tour by Seine River Cruise** was enjoyable for your whole family!
