Big boat, great tour, very informative. Pancakes were fabulous. A warning- large queues to board the boat, but boat size caters for masses so not a major issue if happy to sit downstairs. Upstairs is very popular on a lovely sunny day/ evening.

We had been walking all day and was a great opportunity for a chilled break cruise with a cooling breeze. We enjoyed the crepes afterwards.

Great river cruise. Very easy to find the location and only took 20 mins to wait for our turn to get on the boat. We went at 9:30pm. The cruise was an hour long and we saw many landmarks during this. We went for our included crepe after the boat cruise and watched the Eiffel Tower sparkle at Trocadéro. It was a great end to our first day in Paris.

Amazing cruise on the Seine. We chose to take the boat at sunset, which was around 8:30, and returned to see the Eiffel Tower sparkling.

The Boat trip was well organized with plenty of seats upstairs and downstairs. Good commentary and music throughout. The pancake from the Trocadéro used precooked crepes that were heated up and tasted of cardboard. This should be a optional extra and should be made freshly.
