Doing what: Eiffel Tower, Paris Moulin Rouge Show and Seine River Cruise
The whole evening was organised perfectly - directions to find Paris Visions were very good, with nice coaches, great seats at the Eiffel Tower, and the food was good too. The Seine river cruise at night is incredible and a great way to see Paris. Moulin Rough is certainly a show, our seats were not the best, so make sure you get at the front of your bus group and then you will be fine! All round, I know it is not cheap, but it is certainly one of the most memorable parts of our Paris trip!

Doing what: Paris Seine River Dinner Cruise
This was a really special experience despite a few niggles along the way. To get the irritations out of the way first. The coach doesn't leave from the address you are told to go to. Why, I don't know. Our trip was on a Saturday and the Paris rush hour traffic was horrific. Having thought we had nearly missed the coach by arriving just on 7pm, we then had a 100m dash around the corner to where the coach departs. Also, the coach drops off at different venues, the Seine cruise was the last drop off so we had an hour and a half on the coach driving around Paris whilst others alighted at The Lido. After 3 laps of the Champs-Élysées you get a little bored. We could have gone straight to the boat at 8.30pm and saved ourselves a big rush and an hour and a half on the coach.
However, let me say that the boat was impressive and the dinner truly excellent. Great service and good entertainment. The coach drops off back at hotels, which is a great benefit late at night. On the night of our trip the boat had to stay moored due to the height of the river, however, this didn't distract from the experience at all and we received a free pass to take a Seine boat tour on another occasion. Many thanks for a memorable evening.
Note from Viator: Thanks for your comment. While we never like to hear about customers having substandard experiences, your feedback helps us to ensure our local suppliers provide a quality experience. We'd like to advise that our Paris departure point has been renovated over the Christmas holidays. We temporary set up an alternatively departure location 200 meters away.

Doing what: Eiffel Tower, Paris Moulin Rouge Show and Seine River Cruise
As a solo traveller this was a fantastic way to have a night out on the town in Paris. Dinner was amazing and the wine glass was never empty the waiters were so attentive. Seine river cruise was beautiful. Moulin Rouge was definitely worth the wait in line!

Doing what: Eiffel Tower, Paris Moulin Rouge Show and Seine River Cruise
Well organised pick-up and transfer between venues. We attended the Moulin Rouge a day earlier which was fantastic and Viator kindly organised a change to the Lido this show was not as good after the Seine River Cruise. Unfortunately it doesn't get dark in Paris in June until 2130, so the lights of Paris were not on show during the dinner or cruise.

Doing what: Seine River Cruise and Paris Canals Tour
It was quite a nice and relaxing cruise, you see a lot more of Paris with this canal cruise. The only criticism is that you don't see enough of main attractions by the Seine River because you spent a lot of time waiting for the canal boat to get in and out of locks. If you have time and want to relax, it is great, but if you have limited time, then maybe not.

Doing what: Seine River Cruise and Paris Canals Tour
The Seine River Cruise and Paris Canals Tours was very pleasan. So much to see like the old locks along the river. I would recommend as a way to spend 12 day in Paris. The only drawback was finding the way to get on the boat - signage was poor and difficult to actually find the boat but we did.

Doing what: Seine River Cruise, Paris Illuminations and Dinner on the Champs-Elysees
Our trip was to wander Paris before heading to Kiev Ukraine. Paris is beautiful and should plan to walk and wander through the day and night. The boat tour was one of our tourist like activities and it was worth it. Beautiful city views and history lesson from coach tour. Seine river cruise was relaxing stroll down the river with great views and beautiful sunset. Most importantly, along the river's banks you see how the locals use the river and the atmosphere to relax, drink a few beers, or glass of wine, just to get together with friends. Very cool to see how happy everyone seemed, Paris was great and I think this tour was worth it. Last but not least, most of our group skipped the dinner. What a mistake, dinner was good but atmosphere was great! Chet's is beautiful. Finishing after midnight we walked down the Boulevard. Took lots of night shots of the Arch. There is place in middle of street right past restaurant where you can get great photos. Lots of interesting people along the way. Night life along Champs is just so Paris. Definitely worth doing.

Doing what: Eiffel Tower Dinner and Seine River Cruise
Great tour to participate in the 'must do's' of Paris. Seine River cruise was enjoyable, Eiffel Tower exceeded expectations, although the food on the dinner menu was fairly average, the views and atmosphere more than made up for it. Thought the host/guide could have been more communicative especially for the non-English speakers.

Doing what: Eiffel Tower Dinner and Seine River Cruise
All aspects of this tour were great, dinner at the Eiffel Tower was good, food better than expected, service fantastic. Then Seine River Cruise was very informative and a great way to see and learn about Paris. Only improvement needed was meeting point and time it took for the coach to leave from here, not really well organised.

Doing what: Eiffel Tower Dinner and Seine River Cruise
The night view of Paris is absolutely gorgeous and one of the best ways to see it is to take the Seine River Cruise! The cruise gives you a different, yet fabulous, view of the city. Remember to bring a good camera with you! The Eiffel Tower Dinner gives you a chance to get up to the famous Tower avoiding the queue. The food and wine was also of high quality. You will be given the chance to take pictures of the Tower after the dinner.

Doing what: Seine River Cruise, Paris Illuminations and Dinner on the Champs-Elysees
It was beautiful being able to see the city at night but I would choose either the Paris Illuminations OR the Seine River cruise as you see a lot of the same things. Easier to take pictures on the cruise than the bus tour since they do not stop long enough to take any pics. Dinner was amazing.

Doing what: Champagne Tasting on a Seine River Cruise
A trip in the Seine River is probably a must do for any Paris visit, so why not make it better with Champagne. The boat was over booked and it was raining so not ideal circumstances. I also thought 1 hour was much too short. The champagne was very nice and the staff on board were friendly. I would never pay $60 to do it again and only recommend to those who had a river cruise listed as "must-do"

Doing what: Eiffel Tower, Paris Moulin Rouge Show and Seine River Cruise
My wife and I booked for the Eiffel Tower, Paris Moulin Rouge Show and Seine River Cruise on 31/7/2012 as that date was my wife's birthday. The night was very enjoyable except the experience at the Eiffel Tower was unsatisfactory. We feel this was rushed and that the dinner was of poor quality. The bus dropped us off at the Eiffel Tower and we did not reach the restaurante until 7.40pm. Time available for the 3 course meal was only 25 minutes and the whole experience at the Eiffel Tower was unsatisfactory as we were not provided with sufficient time for our meal, we were provided with poor seating at the restaurante and we had no view from the restaurante. The river cruise was good and the Moulin Rouge Show was excellent. In all as the dinner was rushed and food was just satisfactory, I felt that part of the package was over priced and therefore the whole night was over priced.

Doing what: Seine River Cruise and Paris Canals Tour
The Seine River Cruise was the most enjoyable part of this tour. I liked the Paris Canals Tour but at the end of the trip I was dropped off at an area which appeared isolated. Accordig to Fodor's, there were stores around this area where shopping was available. The guide and others in the area could not tell me where the shopping was. I walked west and ended up in a downtown area where it took me over an hour to get a taxi to take me back to central Paris.

Doing what: Eiffel Tower, Paris Moulin Rouge Show and Seine River Cruise
This tour was not what we expected. They said that we should be dressed elegant so it was very difficult walking dressed up in heels top of the Eiffel Tower. The food in the restaurant 2nd floor was not very good. The show was extremely crowed and very hot. We were not able to see much. The only thing that we really enjoyed from this tour was the Seine River Cruise. It was beautiful watching the sights of Paris.
