A very pleasant evening.

I enjoyed my trip to Paris and Disneyland very much. I had my 14-year-old niece with me for company. We went in July and the heat was unbearable - 105°F but luckily our room had aircon so at least we could sleep. We did this cruise along the Seine, caught a hop on / hop off bus that I thought was excellent value and used the Metro.

I would never have gotten to see as much - and been as well informed - if I had not done this tour. And who can resist Paris at night?

Excellent. Very well organised, with a knowledgeable guide.

It was really nice, but I think they should have started the cruise a little bit earlier, because you couldn't really see all that much.

The tour around Paris during the evening was really great, and the bus that we traveled on gave a very good view of everything. The cruise on the Seine was disappointing as the boat was fully enclosed with a glass roof. The view we got was of only the bottom half of everything, & the view through the roof was of the water reflecting back up due to the lights. The boat would have been fabulous during the day but was totally unsuitable for evening viewing.

Not impressed. An over packed boat. There were many smaller boats. It made me wonder how I could have booked one of those. I thought the English speaking headphones would be a plus. They gave very little information. I suppose for the price I shouldn't complain.

Was supposed to be 2 hours, went for 4!! By the time it ended most restaurants were closed so missed dinner. Doesn't go past Sacre Couer or Moulin Rouge which would've been great.

My mom and I took this tour after taking a really cool hop-on hop-off tour in London that also came with a boat tour, which we greatly preferred to this tour. There's nothing really terrible about this tour, but the headsets were not as nice as having a real person tell you about the Paris. Also, the bus tour went much longer than it was supposed to, which was a little annoying. Overall, if I had to book another tour of Paris I would have booked a hop-on hop-off bus tour instead of this tour, which are good for a day or two instead of a set time block and make it much easier to get around Paris and see the sights.

I would recommend a tour of some kind to anyone visiting Paris for the first time but the river cruise would not be my first choice. The bus tours are far more suitable for anyone who wants to see the sights of Paris.

Sunset in June was at 1030pm, so it was still daylight at the end of our illuminations tour.

Good tour, not great.

This was an OK tour. The boats were so dirty you could hardly see through the glass at times. Seeing the Eiffel Tower from the water was very nice, especially at dusk.
