    Such a highlight of our trip! Seeing the highlight sights of Paris from the rivers point of view is something I will remember forever! The tour guide was very knowledgeable, entertaining and the champagne was delightful- we even got to keep the little glass it came in for a bonus souvenir :) would absolutely do again and would recommend to others visiting the city!

    On time departure. Pretty though quite cold from top deck. Knowledgable guide though he had to talk fast to explain everything in French first then English. Our cruise came with a drink and snack but the line to get the items were long and moved slowly since there was only one server on board. The cruise time (4:30 pm) allowed us to see the beautifully lit Eiffel against the sunset on the way back - which was great. Deducting one star as this tour operator charges for use of their restroom.

    This trip is wheelchair accessible but there is no ramp. The boat comes as level as possible with the platform you’re on and you have to get on the boat. I was able to do this in my electric wheelchair and had to come off the boat backwards as the level was not flat and so there was a small step.
