Seine experience - Great way to see all the site along the Seine river. I suggest this to start off your Paris trip if it is your first time.

Great for people not fun of walking - Had an easy check in and the boats big enough to accommodate hundreds of people. It was the smoothest boat tour I’ve had so far.

Not so worth it - The boat had to turn around after 25 minutes because the water was too high or too low; I wasn't sure what they said. So we didn't see all the sites. They said, "Don't worry, it will still be an hour's ride, but the other way on the Seine is some apartment buildings and a tiny depressing little statue of liberty with graffiti.

Seine River by Bateaux Parisiens - The tour was a bit lame becausethe tour guide didn'tsay much. The view was beautiful, so it was not complete bad. But having an understanding of what we were looking at, that was not efficiently provided. There other companies providing a seine river I would suggest going them a try instead.

Never got a response - I tried to contact the operator to see if we could move our tour to another day and never got a response.

No point on buying tickets in advance. - There was no benefits of taking the tickets before hand, as I had to wait in a queue like all others.
The audio system was pathetic and it worked intermittently.

No boat ride - We couldn’t get onboard due to a 2.5 hour waiting line. With a young child, that’s not doable 😔. Waste of money!

Poor - Rarely do I write these reviews as typically things are acceptable. Lots of issues- broken seat, crowded boat, commentary in neither English nor French audible.
Weather was rainy so they put double the people in half the space.
I would suggest waiting to book in case weather is not great.
