Really easy way to see all the best bits of Paris! The commentary was good enough, duplicated in multiple languages, so you don't have to know French or English only. The pace of the session was nice and over an hour session just flew by!

From the beginning of the process where I received the tickets , the attention was excellent, the tour covers many of the sites of tourist relevance in Parisi . The entrance should be improved, a little messy.

Not having my tickets available after purchase was problematic, the tickets never loaded even after I download the headout app. Having to wait till the day of the event to get our tickets was not good. Also, I wasn't given a chance to select a start time for the cruise. The fact that we had flexible tickets should have been made clear in my email confirmation because all the FAQs harped on being ontime or you'll forfeit your tickets. Instead, my email confirmation only showed the open time which caused confusion.

The ride went very well. What's more, the weather was on our side. Definitely worth doing again and recommending.

Your experience

Why you shouldn't miss this

The calm waters of the Seine make for a relaxing cruise. With commentary from an expert, you will understand the historical significance of each of the attractions that you pass by. Your tour will begin by passing the Louvre Museum and the Conciergerie towards Notre Dame. The glass pyramid monument of the Louvre, however, is not visible from your ship due to the walls covering the area. The Notre Dame eastern facade is stunning to see in person. The tall spires and flying buttresses are in the typical Gothic style. The Musee d'Orsay with its two massive clocks is on the right bank of the Seine. Seven large windows can be seen between the two clock towers.

You can also catch a glimpse of the Conciergerie, where Queen Marie Antoinette was jailed before her execution during the French Revolution. The massive stone structure with its numerous imposing towers is in stark contrast to the other monuments. At the end of the 70-minute your, you will be dropped back to the point where you boarded the ship.
