Booked the top level lunch cruise...unfortunately the river was high and the boats could not go on the normal route...so got to see a more industrialised area of the river than usual...however...the food was great, the wine was fantastic, seating was at the pointy end and only a dozen tables, waiting staff were attentive but not in your face and...

The cruise is great, however, would have been better if they slowed down a bit. In an hour you get to see lots, but don't have enough time to really enjoy the views as you're cruising by. It was also said to be 1 hr 10 minutes, but ended up being 50 minutes. I am glad we didn't book the... More

Great commentary. Views from a different perspective. A chance to sit down and relax. Best looks at the incredible bridges, Notre Dame, and much more, all with wonderful background music including Gershwin and Edith Piaf.

We booked the dinner cruise via the Viator website and got our transfers included. We booked the Premier package and are so glad we did. We had a table for 2 at the front of the boat so had a perfect view of all the sites. The quality of food and wine was excellent you got a glass of pink... More

My partner and I went on the 20:30 dinner cruise with Bateaux Parisiens last Saturday night. We paid extra for a window seat and we both felt it was worth the extra money for the uninterrupted views. Seeing Paris from the river at night is fantastic. We really enjoyed the food and the wine was flowing freely, we thought we... More

We walked down from the Eiffel Tower and got on the boat from there. We did the one hour trip and we were forced to sit inside under the glass roof area as the small outdoor area was full. It was stiflingly hot inside to the point of being extremely uncomfortable. The commentary on the phone thing was decidedly sparse... More

I recently booked a dinner cruise on the Bateaux Parisiens and I would recommend this to anyone. We booked a window table, which was more expensive, but worth the extra money since you are already spending quite a lot for the evening anyway. The food was excellent (I was not expecting it to be so good) and there was plenty... More

Easy to find, just across from Eiffel Tower down some steps. Not long to queue. Best to sit at left of boat to see. Hour long trip definitely worth doing!

My wife, granddaughter and I booked the 8:30 dinner cruise. Because the river was high, however, they changed the route to go downriver from the Eiffel Tower. We got to see parking lots for dump trucks and cement mixers, several nondescript highrise buildings and riverside shrubs. The food was, at best, pleasant but definitely not memorable, unless you enjoy bland... More

We had very limited time in Paris and the Bateaux Parisiens dinner river cruise was recommended as a must do. I was thankful I listened. Definitely worth the time and expense. There was a mix up on our reservation, but staff was courteous and made it right for us. Paris is a different city at night and a dinner cruise... More
