Lovely dinner cruise on the Seine - Very enjoyable river cruise on the Seine.
Food was great and service was excellent.
I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Paris. We did miss seeing part of the city because the river water level was too high for the riverboat to go under some of the bridges of the city. They gave us tickets for a sightseeing only tour to compensate us.

Lovely Lunch on the Seine - Had a wonderful time, the food was very good, the asparagus soup especially. The river was high, so the boat went the opposite direction, did not get to see the main attractions, but it was nice to see parts of Paris that you don’t normally get to view. The music at times was a bit loud, but not at all annoying. We will do this again!

One of the best lunches ever - The service and food were fantastic!!!
The Seine was running very high so we couldn't take the expected route. But, it didn't matter. The atmosphere was brilliant and, because we couldn't take the planned route, they gave us free sightseeing tickets for when the river was lower. Would thoroughly recommend.

River day - Our waiter Rida was exceptional-this is a must do and if you have the extra money by the premium package, the seats are far better. It is a lot of food so just plan accordingly you also get a lot of wine with the premium package a bottle of red, a bottle of white and some champagne public metro very close. We took a cab and they dropped us off right at the dock. You see a lot of sites and you have a very good viewpoint. We got there about a half an hour before our boarding time and they boarded within five minutes of our arrival so make sure you’re prompt.

Great food and relaxing experience - The Seine was very high during our visit so full trip could not be experienced however not a lot the company could do and we were offered other trip tickets as compensation so happy with that.
Very relaxed experience and food was good. Got very hot inside the boat so hate to think how hot it would be in summer- maybe they turn the aircon on!
Overall would recommend.

Do not buy the premier section seating if you dont get the absolute front table at the very front of the boat. - While the food, drink, and views were nice, it wasnt worth sitting in the premier section. I thought I was paying to sit at the very front of the boat but was told I did not pay for that particular table but instead the overall area. Disappointing to say the least.

Disappointed Lunch Cruise - Due to the level of the river Ka Seine, the Lunch Cruise changed its route. Instead of sight seeing of Paris most beautiful buildings, the cruise went to the suburbs near Paris. The Lunch Cruise becomes boring et it provided absolutely no interest.
The problem is Bateaux Parisiens didn't inform customers when they book the cruise.
I don't recommend the Lunch Cruise nor the dining cruise. It's quite expensive but there's no interest with the sight seeing. It's very disappointed.

Didn’t get to see most of the advertised sights! - The service was good, but did not get to see most of the supposed sites and only saw the Eiffel Tower because they said we had to take the opposite route (with no sights worth seeing) due to rougher waters (even though the other boats were running on the river just the same). They did not offer a discount or provide advance notice and only provided a ticket for another sight seeing cruise, but I would not be in Paris anymore.

What a shame. - After arriving as instructed at either pontoon 5 OR 7 on the port. We waited in a queue around 20 minutes before. We were then instructed to move to the other pontoon by the time we had got there. They wouldn’t allow us to get on the boat meaning we missed the lunch. A really disappointing day for us. With only being in Paris for 3 days we didn’t have time to schedule. We phoned Viator who were really helpful however the tour company in Paris were really rude and completely useless. Not willing to even give us a partial refund. A part of our Paris trip was ruined by this experience :(
