It was a very enjoyable experience from start to finish. Our driver who picked us up was great as were the staff onboard the boat. The meal was really delicious as were the wines. It was a surprise birthday treat for my girlfriend and I was really pleased with the way it went. I had the top price package which seemed expensive when I paid for it but it was definitely worth it.

We did not actually get to cruise along the Seine because the water level was too high due to high rainfall.. We were given a voucher each for another hour cruise but unlikely to use this as we would need to go back to Paris!. However the meal was wonderful, the wine flowed and the staff could not have been nicer.We were able to watch The Eiffel Tower light up on the hour. Our driver to and from hotel was really nice and gave us a running commentary about the sights.All in all a great experience.
