Bateaux Parisiens Reviews
I booked the river cruise with dinner as a birthday surprise for my wife and was unsure what to expect I had booked the evening cruise with dinner ,when we arrived at the quayside we were welcomed aboard and we found the staff and crew on board to be very professional and helpful and the food we were provided was amazing,it was a wonderful experience and one we will both remember for a long time
This was an amazing way to see Paris and have a fantastic lunch at the same time!
As part of our honeymoon, we booked this cruise to allow us to relax, eat some good food and see as much of Paris at the same time - and it surpassed our expectations! From start to finish, the customer service was welcoming, friendly and well timed. Having a window seat made a big difference, and allowed us to see clearly the sites well illustrated on our guide.
The food options allowed us to try some of the national cuisine, with all 4 courses being of very high quality. The desserts were especially a highlight! In the background, the music was pleasant, upbeat and added to the atmosphere.
We would thoroughly recommend to anyone who would enjoy a relaxing approach to seeing and experiencing Paris!
