Traveler Tips

I still give five stars as the weather is something we cannot change.

We paid a little extra for the window seat which was worth it, as it made the experience a bit more special.

Highly recommend this for a day event while in Paris!

Lunch cruise on the river Seine

Dominique_G, Aug 2022

The lunch cruise was very nice, the food was great and the service very good. I would recommend it. We have done the dinner cruise in the past but I think this one is just as good.

Worth the money!

Donna_M, Aug 2022

The cruise was amazing, lunch was outstanding and our server Lawrence our server was the best!. We cruised past all the sites of Paris and got the best pictures from the River!

High light of the day !

Janice_S, Aug 2022

River scenic, lunch very nice, and a server who was fun during the cruise. He made sure all the guests were enjoying the cruise to the fullest. One of our trips hi lights .

Perfect Intro to Paris

Amy_H, Aug 2022

One of the best experiences from a first trip to Paris. My fiancé and I took this lunch cruise on our first day to get a first glimpse of Paris. We paid for the privilege service and it was well worth it. The food was lovely, our waiter, Samad, was fantastic and it was really the best start to the trip we could have asked for. The only downside was it was very hot in the window for an hour until the boat turned around and we were in the shade. It was still worth it and I would highly recommend!

Very disappointing

Oober_N, Aug 2022

How hot it was on the boat, slow service and no narration as to where we were. Had been on it before. Would NOT go again.

Top quality river cruise

LAUREN_H, Aug 2022

Greeted on arrival and after a short wait to board the boat, we were escorted to our window seats. Drink was served and then food as we set off down the river Seine. Our waiter was very nice and gave us valuable information throughout the cruise. The food menu had plenty to choose from and informed the waiter of nut allergy so was still able to have the Tuna and vegatble starter without the nut dressing. The boat looked clean and tidy and easy access to toilets which were also kept clean with a lovely lady opening the door to the toilets for everyone. Overall experience of this river cruise is excellent and would recommend this as you get to eat lovely food and see the delightful sites around the river Seine. We boarded on the dock which is located by the Eiffel Tower and the tour took around 2 hours. Well worth the price you pay for the quality of service given.

Beautiful relaxing lunch with great views

A really terrific boat-lunch! Beautiful day in Paris, spent a couple of hours cruising on the Seine, had a really delicious lunch, and sipped plenty of libations. The food was better than what you might have expected, and the staff was really nice. Beautiful vies of all of Paris from the boat.

Smooth sailing for all ages!

Lovely way to see Paris while resting your feet

Christie_M, Aug 2022

This was a fantastic experience and a great way to see Paris from the comfort of a lovely dining experience. We had been walking around the city in the days before and it was a nice way to give the tired feet a rest.

Exceptional way to see Paris. Incredible service

Erik_F, Jul 2022

We took the lunch Seine tour on the first full day of our trip and loved it so much that we tried booking the night one (sold out!). We had a corner table and had an impressive view of the gorgeous buildings that flank the Seine. Our lunch was made all the better with our waiter, Momo, who was incredibly efficient, informative and friendly. He elevated an already wonderful experience to one we will always remember. The food was great and the drinks were plentiful! Great value and impeccable service!

Great experience

Samantha_M, Jul 2022
